In 2011, Derek appeared in "#derekshowlive", a magic show performed solely on Twitter.
Nothing To Hide
Derek wrote and co-starred, along with Helder Guimaraes, in the 2013 show Nothing To Hide, directed by Neil Patrick Harris. The theatrical magic show debuted at The Geffen Theater in Los Angeles in 2012. Though the show was originally meant to be a one-month run, it was extended for an additional 18 weeks where it became one of the five-highest-grossing productions in The Geffen Theater’s 20-year history. “Nothing To Hide” then traveled across the country and opened for an off-Broadway run at The Signature Theater in New York City in 2013.
In & Of Itself
Following the impressive success of Nothing To Hide, The Geffen Theater committed Derek to their upcoming subscription series before even knowing what the show was. It was from here that Derek constructed In & Of Itself, a show dedicated to the most intimate aspects of illusion and sleight of hand.
In & Of Itself boasts an impressive team: produced by Glenn Kaino, with original music by Mark Mothersbaugh (Devo), and directed by Frank Oz, whom Derek met and quickly bonded with in New York while working on Nothing to Hide.
In & Of Itself was extended 5 times through August 28, 2016, making it the most commercially successful production the Geffen Playhouse has had in the Audrey Skirball Kenis since the 2012 premier of Nothing To Hide, also by DelGaudio.
In & Of Itself opened Off-Broadway in New York on April 5, 2017 at the Daryl Roth Theater with Neil Patrick Harris as Executive Producer.
