Tks for showing us how he does these simple ones, it’s pretty neat. I wouldn’t think he’s retarded? He’s already claimed that this isn’t real “magic”, but only suggetion etc. I think his work is amazing because he is great at NLP and what not, and it’s great how complex our brains are but how easily they are teased etc :P.
Spoiling? Pffft. I knew everything he was going to try to use against me. Some of it was smart and convincing, but the watch points were silly. He also got my shapes wrong. I had an octagon :). The bearded guy worked though.
The first trick got me, and the one where i closed my eyes, but not the others. This is because I knew he was tricking me and therefore was subconsiously looking out for the secret gestures and suggestions rather than actually concentrating on what he is saying. This is why it may not have worked for some of you.
f***ing genious m8, u need 2 do another 1 plz. u r mint at this. u shud go on the show an beat him m8. the thing is evry1(voiding the watch coz i wasnt wearing 1)worked. its amazin wot our subconcious duz without our knowledge(so 2 speak) lol. hope u du anotha 1 soon plz.
This is true, and it also applies to certain kinds of naturally creative people. If over the years the brain gets used to thinking in a slightly unusual way, then in a situation like this, where you have to make a split-second choice without thinking consciously, it can instinctively reject the obvious or suggested answer. Astronauts in training undergo psychological tests to weed out people like this – astronauts would be a perfect audience for Derren Brown.
They all worked on me, however I completely understood why. Thing is, none of this would have worked if the title of this clip didn’t say “revealed”. I was looking for the hints, rather than just absorbing the program.
And that’s how it all works… The title of this clip tells you what to expect in exactly the same way him waving his hands around makes you think of circles and triangles.
Damn he didn’t get me once. I have ADD which might play a roll in it. But he emphasizes things and makes me think of something, so I do but since I had ADD I bet my unconscious mind flips on its own so I am not influenced by the things he emphasizes not because I am stupid.
As a mater of fact, If you still say he didn’t get you.. That could also mean that you are more stupid than the avarage person. .. If you see a magic trick for the first time you may think it’s amazing, but if the same person would say that he is gonna show the trick to you right after or even show you before the effect of the trick loses it’s purpose.

and one more thing i did see the bearded guy walk into the shot and at first was like why did that guy walk into the shot? this guy is so fraudulent.
o and i actualy did pick a square as my first shape. wtf?

Woooah awesome! =D The last one and the first one totally fooled me ><

Almost the same, but not quite since you only get the “25% off” both *only* if you buy both items. No tricks there.
whoops… I said two… i meant all the tricks
um… no offense or anything but those tricks are two of his most obvious tricks
Advertisers pull these tricks on people every day to make you buy their products :P
For example, the Adidas store was having a sale. Buy one get the second item for 50% off!
You’re getting two items for 25% off. But saying it the first way sounds like a better deal. :P
it doesnt spoil it, the whole point of derrin is the phsychology of it. i think its great
Omg you spoilt the fun
lol the falling into the chair one didnt need analyzing but u did the rest well
your post started wisely but became patronising……….
I wasn’t trying to “rise myself to a pedestal,” dude–whoa with your condemnation! :*)
None of them worked for me..
What’s up with that creepy sound in the background of this video. It’s creepy.

I know that scared the shit out of me.

if it got u then ur easily influenced
