Dear Zeus, that was the most amazing coincidence. The name of my maternal grandfather is 'Vicente', which is portuguese for Vincent. I thought that if I happened to be on the stage I would've written Vincent, because it'd be a fair adaptation considering the english speaking context. This number was absolutely fantastic for me.
@buckckck Derren has a hold on a firm extension to the table through the cloth. You'll notice that the cloth is much more on his side, that is, there is more of it on the side he's on. At 4:22 he's reaching for the cloth, and you can see his right hand pass along side it, along a rigid part in the cloth. Just before that, he points at Jon to direct audience attention at him. Once Derren has a firm grip, attention comes back to him. His right hand doesn't leave the table until 5:14.
Because of his tendency to encourage his audiences to develop a sceptical mindset, I wonder if fundamentalist christians believe that Derren Brown is in league with the devil who grants him magical powers...
In the pendulum thing, they were tested to see who had the most reaction, yet could not tell that it was themselves that were moving the pendulum(even the slightest movement can move the pendulum as you should probably already know). It is basically as blairmonte said.
There's obviously something supporting the table, most probably inside the cloth which connects to the table somehow. Also, he makes the table look heavy, but apparently it's light, maybe even light enough to lift with only finger strength.
Similar to how they thought the bolt on the string was moving itself. He got the most impressionable people to move the table. Very wise man this Derren Brown, he is amazing.
It's the idiomotor response. Of course they were moving it but just as dowsers are convinced they don't move their instruments these folks have no clue what they're doing.
dont be a fucking dick and explain how it was done you twat so there had to be like 5 people with there hand on the table becous if someone moved it another person would feel it go against him or her and pushing it against.....fuck it I cant bloody explain it....sigh :-õ
It is an ideomotor reaction. He begins with a classic suggestibility test; the Chevreul Pendulum. Those four of the ten who react strongest and quickest are isolated and used for the table-turning effect. There is little friction between table and floor which means the sum of the member's minute ideomotor responses will easily break the coefficient and send the table in the suggested direction. Ouija boards are based off the same principle. Look up the Chevreul Pendulum and try it at home.
i was just watching the repeat of this on e4 but my dad put a movie on and my free-view box is on the blink this is the part i was up to, thanks for the upload!! :)
Do you think it's actually a prop, and the stage manager has cued some music so that the music is clear and the volume can be controlled - so that noisy, rude people like you can have time to pipe up and insult someone you don't know?
That's what I would do if I were putting on a show in a massive theatre, and had people like you in the audience.
can someone explain the flying table trick?

@Llynok Yeah except the 3 or more times where his hands are on top, or not touching the table....at which point enters the WTF factor...
silent99dude99 1 year ago
@silent99dude99 yes, i agree. it's a sort of variation on the classic 'zombie ball' effect. not sure how he manages the hand on top bit.

Had Derren Brown been alive during the Spanish Inquisition, I imagine he would not have lived very long.

@xSilverPhinx You can hear it when the table drops back down, judging by the sound it's made of plastic so yeah it's pretty light.

lauwren 2 years ago 2
the table is moved the same way as a Ouija board works
you don't know it, but you do move it.
as told multiple times it's an ideomotor reaction
the floating table is just "a magic trick"
but the letting go of the table is a nice addition.

The table trick is based on ideomotors i think..
They re not aware, but there moving the table (like in The Seance, with the glass).

This comment has received too many negative votes show
You can buy such tables. Just search for it. Its pretty expensive. Maybe the whole trick is based on this trick.
