  • looks like my first time doin shrooms....FK yea >D

  • Jesus shit people, would it kill to put up at least medium quality ?

  • @djluc1d Don't forget YT converts everything to Flash video, regardless of what you start with and some conversions are better than others

  • I'm pretty sure that Derren Brown is some sort of black magician.

  • Even if this stuff was staged, for which I have no reason to believe...doesn't it just make you more influenced by hypnotism and suggestion?

    As humans we are bound to have sublime influence in our lives. But Darren shows us how it can be hacked for personal use! Keeping an eye out just isn't enough...gotta rewire the brain again...(self hypnosis)

  • @SuperGrgur Well obviously with any conjurer as Derren likes to call himself there are going to be some stunts that require additional help. Derren always points out that he NEVER uses stooges and having seen the live shows and the way he selects his victims er I mean volunteers I can see that by throwing a frisbee into the audience the selection would be random. Derren's skill is how he makes you believe that he did it all on his own. e.g Russian Roulette required a lot of background planning

  • @superhornet59 Are you in the Navy?

  • You know, he says a lot of his tricks are (mentaly) 'safe', though often times he has to do some undo the 'damage' he caused in his tricks in order to help people return to their normal lives and psychological states. But, man, if he wanted to i bet he could really fuck you up for good, like i mean send you to the mental hospital. Anyone read The Master and Margarita? This guy is the real life version of Woland as far as I'm concerned. Don't fuck with him.

  • @superhornet59 I think you'll find Derren is just a very good conjurer and illusionist. I've met him very briefly and he really is as normal as me, although I cannot speak for you as I do not know you. He is very very clever, I don't think he could mess you up but I think that's what he would like people to believe, to give him that air of mystery, it's all part of the performance

  • @computersolutions164 I'm quite sane, I'm not sure why you questioned that :S I don't think he goes around messing with people, but I wouldn't be surprised if he had the ability, as this episode demonstrates. Think about the heist episode.. I mean he (and many other psychology experts) could really do some messed up stuff to peoples minds if pissed off enough. He's not god or anything, but I wouldn't want to find out just how dark he can get. The guy played russian roulette for gods sake.

  • @superhornet59 Very good comment, just one correction. Derren APPEARED to play Russian Roulette apparently live from the island of Jersey. Although he has never actually admitted it one way or the other whether it was for real or not, it is very interesting what he puts at the end of his book, when he "Thanks the Jersey Police" Also don't forget there was a theatrical "props" van there for some time too, during the shoot. You would not need props if it were real!

  • @computersolutions164 Whether or not it was real will be a fruitless discussion full of speculation, as we cannot know the true answer. I heard he THOUGHT the rounds were live, while they in fact were not. To be honest 99% of his tricks prove how good he is to his audience.. I think the RR was (for him) real because he wanted to prove something to himself. Either way, even a blank round at zero range to the temple can be cause a devastating wound.

  • @superhornet59 You have to remember with Derren that there is a lot of "showmanship" in his work, he has some of the cleverest people who help with his stunts, e.g Iain Sharkey, Andy Nyman and Andrew O' Connor. You can visit Andy Nyman's site for yourself.

  • Keep derren in a place far from america he will be shot

  • @AustinxRodriguez He's already been to America but not under his real name.

  • its the joker

  • Alphabet agencies use the same tatics!

  • Basically, the power of the mind is the greatest force in the world?

    Damn.

    Muscles, money, and nuclear weapons can all be stopped by the mind. Wow this guy makes me realize shit.

  • wait...i've got a good idea to drive someone nuts. Lock them in a padded sponge room and make it all one solid color. Make sure the person is blindfolded before they enter the room, and make them wear a double straight jacket. once they are in there, lock them up in the room and tell them they may remove the blindfold. Now what you do is play that high pitch squealing mosquito noise at the right frequency so they can hear it and leave them there for 2 days. LOL

  • this was f**king scary !!

  • As somebody that come from the most vioent city in the world he cannot do this in Mexico. A lot of kidnappings have ocurred in taxi cabs

  • i'm sure Derren will be noting this and cross Mexico off his list of places to visit then

    lol

  • he has to come over the U.S i wanna se him so badly

  • He's already been and fooled the lot of you. Have a look at "Messiah", that was filmed in America or look up "Derren Brown Dream Machine", filmed in Vegas. He might come over again. You could write and ask.

    LOL

  • I am sorry on behalf of the US audience's comments here, even though I am Hungarian....

  • In the U.S he would have been sued for millions

  • kiirr:

    Thats because in the U.S they do not understand Derren Brown's blend of psychology, misdirection and showmanship, usually because most of the U.S is a medicated country, thinking about which country next they should be invading,

    instead of just chilling out a bit.

    Most Americans are OK but the medicated ones seem to have all the power.

  • Thank you very much for posting these. But, be mindful the british history of massacring brown people, african invasions, southeast asian imperialism, daytime area bombing of german civilians during WW2, on and on...it's a mad, mad world covered in idiots. Name any country and its history is probably laced with stupidity on a grand scale.That said, geez i wish they showed Derren Brown in the US. Kiirr, he would not have been sued because at the beginning of this episode the guy signs a release.

  • You are moast welcome and i'm glad you enjoyed it there will be another one along in a couple of months, which has already been filmed called "Schrodingers Cat" and experiment in dual reality. Derren has toured in the U.S check my collection and you will find it. He decided to "play" with all your psychics there and prove most if not all were fraudulent.

  • No, Steven has signed a contract.

  • Yeah, but he wasn't really in a normal state of mind at the time, was he? I don't think it would be valid.

  • DAM! Neuro = nerve (nervous system) it comes from ther greek word "nevro" and Biology from greek Viologia Vios=life logia=study Study of life is Biology.

    So Neurobiology combines both and it is called in greek "Nevroviologia".

  • JonahTorn: You're condition is neurobiological, which makes it a mental illness, because its a error in you're brainsystem. Neurobioligy is about the brain cells that process information and behaviour.

    Neuro = Brain

    Biology = study of

    Study of (the) brain

    It is a mental illness

  • ology is study of...biology is study of living things

  • I know how to turn someone crazy, strip them of all things that could break glass, and put them in a huge room of just mirrors. Place speakers on the ceiling and play the same song over and over again.

  • is this ethically justified? how do we know that the movie he watched influenced his later behavior?

  • insanity is not a medical term, it's a legal one! when psychologists diagnose a person, they can be schizophrenic, have multiple personalities, be bi polar, etc.

    on that note.. DERREN BROWN ROCKS! =)

  • looks like fun to be crazy

  • Not for long, JordanPAT...

  • lalalala LAAAAAAAAAA!!!!......... *turns around* LAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!

  • Like Derren says, even when you admit things are false (set up) people want to believe them so do. This is just a set up act. I like Derren because he says logic explains all his acts. The logic behind this is that the guy is acting!

  • jep the only one fooled are us the general public :) Thats allways with Brown.

  • It's true that he says that many of the things he does are false, but he also says that he never uses actors.

  • Very true, that may be his biggest trick though!

    If he doesn't some things he does are really incredible then. Even if he does it is still great entertainment though.

  • I agree. He is a really good entertainer. I would love to go to one of his live shows, but unfortunately I live in Norway.

    He's also great at exposing so called psychics by showing people that he can do the same things just bu using "tricks".

  • It is interesting what people think it is like to "act" crazy. I bark, stomp, whistle, growl, slam my head on tables, throw myself on the ground and involuntarily appear to dance when I am around music at times, and reapeat words over and over and yet medically I am considered sane. My condition is neurobiological; not a mental illness. Outside stimulous does appear to be normal suggestion but you can't simply suggest it stop & the starting is by force.

  • "Lalalala-LAAAA!!! ...LAAAA!!" lol

  • I can't decide whether I fully believe this or not

  • Well somewhere in trhese comments his mother has made a comment about how real it all seemed.

    Have a look through and see for yourself.

  • I would have to see his mother with my own eyes before I believed it was her on Youtube, which also seems slightly unlikely

  • Well yes I agree with you there to a point but then you could also ask why on earth would someone pretend to be the guys mother. Ok granted there are a lot of nutters about but what you are saying does take a leap of faith, but I will mark it as plausable.

  • LOL!

  • its hypnotism ie implied results combined with animinity.

  • hahahahah he's way better as a lunatic, that hair is fierce

  • lol. flame war.

  • Holy crap! I commented on part 1 about the Joker saying "Madness is like gravity; All it takes is a little push" and the guy actually puts on make up like the Joker! WTF!

  • haha i saw that. i started thinking 'oh my gosh he is so right.'

  • Oh, originality points for that one, seriously get the fuck out my internetz.

  • i will once i take my cock out of your mother

  • Pathetic, I'm guessing you must be about..... 10?

  • yeah its about the 10th time i banged your mom

  • Yeah you really can't insult, so shut up you fat sack obese shit, and come back when you balls have dropped.

  • i'm not obese but you probably are you little boy. i will rape you and ur mom is a whore

  • Oh I beg to differ, and my mum has too higher standards for a inbred hick like you.

  • appearantly not

  • Oh, so you are a inbred hick?

  • yes i am

  • Oh cool, so how does that work?

    Is your cousin your sister.... or how does it work?

  • this thread is a joke.......

  • This isn't a thread dumbass.

  • whatever you say little boy

  • Haha, you calling me a little boy?

  • yes now shut up or i will rape you

  • God you must really fail at life.

  • haha okay little boy, now tell me your address so i can rape you

  • Rape me with what?

    Your too poor too afford a dildo, and you don't have a penis.

  • well then it will be lesbian rape

  • I don't think you go out at all, since you have the time to make empty insults/threats to people on youtube.So i'm going to stop replying to you now, since it feeds you.I'd advise people to do the same. :D

  • Your not having fun with me, you generally are as stupid as you make yourself out too be.

  • You're point?

  • You sure?

    I've turned a lot of people ;)

  • Nah bro you're gay for saying that...see how stupid it sounds? Well that's how you sounded.

  • When you try to insult people do you really have to talk with good grammar?

  • because it infuriates them futher due to the fact that they can't understand you but they know that you are insulting then this also stops them from making a good comback. Its basic pschology but i wouldn't expect a single celled cro magnon like you to understand. See this also sounds more impressive and makes you look like you know it all. It sounds a lot better than. Yeah cos u is stupid.

  • okaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay..­. you kinda embarrassed yourself there lol

  • You've been embarrassing yourself for the past week or so.

  • that's fuckin' owesome! (not a mispelling don't steal my pronounciation!)

  • its a shittty pronounciation nobody would want to steal it..

  • i'm very glad you've come to a retarded conclusion and my wish being granted at the same time. good day.

  • Hey, you misspelled shitty, wank stain.

  • dont you need flashes and special music too?

  • Yes you would need them. The whole idea is to confuse the brain, with a visual and audio montage and basically bombard the senses

  • Are you planning to send yourself crazy by any chance ?

  • where can i get the film he showed the guy to make his go crazy??

  • Its in my collection here, you are talking about "Stephens Taxi Ride"

  • You could make one yourself, quite easily

  • how?

  • Well you need a hypnotic image and lots of dijointed other images which you then run together to create a short film of totally unrelated things

  • you should try to make your own version and post it

    heh heh

  • I might just do that. It would be interesting to see what people make of it

  • love it

  • that makes derren brown really scarry...

    he can leave you crazy.

    (i wonder if he has enemies...he could use this against them...*heh*)

  • it's a good look he goes for

  • the thing i don't get is why the guy, in his state of paranoia, would follow obscure directions to some back alleyway on top of being told to meet DB at Trafalgar square

  • Well I saw Derrens live show last night and it is possible to manipulate people without them knowing they are being manipulated. Go and se him live and you will see what I mean. It's worth every penny

  • ''go see him live...its worth every penny''

    You are a fine example of that my friend.

  • I really enjoyed the show. I even wrote and told him so - got a reply too

  • What was the reply? =3

  • If Derren Brown can do this with little effert. Think of what something like the United States, British, or Russian government can do ;)

  • What takes one man so little effort to accomplish takes a government years and millions of dollars to consider.

  • He's not crazy, he's just Brittish.

  • Us British are definately crazy - Thanks for the compliment.

    Have a look at the clip of mine "Disappearing Sun" and "The Dream Machine"

  • British like a FOX

  • ha!

  • So you are a poker player then, why do you think it is fake ?

  • Hey guys, i got a question and i also posted this in the "photobooth" video. Is it possible to get someone into "trance" or whatever you want to call it (open for suggestions that the victim will follow) just by playing an audio-rig and flashing some words or sounds? Derren brown statet in his own book that by being in hypnosis, you just play along. act because you expect something to happen + dont want to dissapoint yourself and the audience.

  • i would love some facts, (books, websites or whatever) and not just a "i think its possible" thank you

  • Try building yourself a strobe light device. Xenon light or pure light is better and can be switched faster than filament incandescent light and is more effective - try also typing "photoepilepsy" into google too. I used to suffer from it as a kid and a catatonic state that Derren uses is very similar to te bit AFTER an epileptic attack - be careful though !!

  • Yes if you get the right frequency of flashing lights start at about twice the heart rate and fiddle around at about those frequencies Don't know what it is for sound.

  • Simple if you want decent viewing quality then its a trade off with the sample rate and thus the bit stream speed. if you want really shit quality, I can do that too if you like. There is no need for insults you stupid Felcher !

  • great post.. !.. thankyou...

  • No problem - thanks

  • the writing was 2 burry

  • It's like faust...

  • or something like that. its called an ambigram

  • Yes they were created by John Langdon of Angels & Demons fame. He was asked by Objective to create them especially for the show. I think the picture is still on his site showing Derren holding both ambigrams as part of a pre-series promotional shot

  • LOL! "la la laaa!"

  • After all, the terrifying taxi ride was so unsettling that this poor man was go glad a 'person' like Derren came into the taxi, and will obviously tend to want to agree with Derren at whatever suggestions he planted onto him (via some subtle form of persuasion/hypnosis). I mean he made this poor guy sign the contract before giving him a card choice that is not really a choice at all!

  • why do you say he is a "poor guy" - he signed up to be in the show of his own accord after seeing the advert. i would loveto know where Derren advertises I would be first in the queue. He had to sign a contract for legal reasons to absolve channel 4 / Objective Productions of any responsibility in the unlikely even of something going wrong. Derren did point out that he decides the trick or trat in advance and yes the cards make no difference whatsoever. Nothing wrong with that is there ?

  • You still don't get it do you? This was an advert that didn't tell them what to expect (and after watching this programme, I am sure less people are inclined to fall into that trap if he puts one up again). A contract that will allow yourself to do whatever the producers/Derren want to do to you? Why can't they negotiate the contract in a neutral environment and not one that'll disturb/misdirect them to do so???

  • Question - An advert for what

    Question - Are you not looking at this to deeply

    Opinion - I think you would fall for this stunt

    The whole point was to create misdirection and see how the guy would react in that situation which was outside of his comfort-zone

  • True, he signed up for it. But the producers obviously picked a very 'weak-willed' person and then 'coerce' him into signing the 'contract'. (con't above)

  • I don't think there was any coerceion. derren always gets his subjects to sign contracts - basically to say they are in full mental control of themselves beforehand. he also provides aftercare afterwards and makes sure that the participant is ok - thats fact.

    A true consummate professional and respected the world over.

  • Cool, he admits that the cards are rigged. Never saw that!

  • That didn't look very cruel, it actually looked like the guy enjoyed it :p...

    but in all honesty, i would love something like this to be tried on me, I would love it to be something like that car crash one lol, I just wonder how i would react to something like that.

  • being insane looks fun!

  • choice with derron brown?? ur jokin surely

  • Derren is obviously a very consumate performer and a true professional who cares as much for his viewers as he does the participants.

  • derren obviously knew all along that some people watching at home would have worked out the 'trick' and 'treat' cards could be turned upside down. he didnt want to insult the audiences intelligence by never refering to it. this was probably the worst show of the 6, and showing the cards could be turned upside down was the best part.

  • How is it cruel in what way. Contract signed, willing participant. Can't see any cruelty myself

  • Yes, the contract was signed, but the depth or scope of the "trick" was never explained to the subject. There is only one person who is resposible. and that is D.Brown. Gads! How I wish someone would give him such an extreme trick... or treat, or indeed, fear inducing torture!!

  • Cruel. it should happn somday to Brown

    .

  • Well Derren has always maintained in all his shows that he never uses stooges. I know hypnosis cant make you do something you would not ordinarily do but playing on this guys suggestability might reveal something about all of us

  • That's quite freaky to know to be honest.

    Then again, the human mind's filled with mysterious things that are hidden from our conscious minds.

  • I can't see this being real. That guy is a stooge, even hypnosis can't do that. If he isn't a stooge he was offered a large sum of money to perform.

  • I can assure you he was not a stooge, it was my son and he didnt have any idea what was going on in the taxi or later in the room

  • How did he react afterwards? I thought the whole trick to be very cruel. I hope he recovered.

  • yes he was fine, he has his feet on the ground so it hat no adverse affects

  • Firstly, rebeccan51, shutup. Secondly, all the participants are not forced into this, they know very well what derren is capable of. If they don't want to do it, then don't volunteer. Key word being volunteer. Stop acting like hes a poor wee helpless kid who got sucked into this and never asked for it. Retards.

  • w w w . johnlangdon . net

  • How interesting i will go an look at that site.

  • yea i already knew it was an ambigram (by John Langdon of Angels and Demons fame)

    I suppose this comment was to show anyone who didnt already know.

    and regarding the video.... this is some freaky shit man!

  • Ah, I noticed that in first episode.. so I just guessed that we were meant to know there was no actual choice in the matter.

  • Anyone notice about 10 seconds in to this video what happens when Derren turns the right hand card upside down. Both the card appear identical hence the words "Irrelevent choice with only one outcome."

  • yes its a special type of writing that people like the knights templar used to use to hide information. its in the book the davinci code

  • You don't seriously believe The Davinci Code, The Priory of Sion and The Knights Templar, Do You ?

  • i believe about all the knights templar and sh*t, i dotn believe in all them hidden clues to a treasurey type thingy though

  • never mind it was all proven to be a hoax one of the french instigators was even interviewed years ago

  • knights templar was real thiough wasnt it

  • No - it was all a hoax, the writings that were supposed to be used by theTemplay were all works of fiction which came out of the priory of sion, who claimed to know the secret of the Holy Grail.

  • the problem is The Holy Grail is different depending on which country you live in - Rome claims to have it and so does Spain - two different chalices or totally opposing time periods. the hoax was woven very very cleverly into these time periods to add authenticity. Underneath it is a very clever hoax though. A programme was made about its creator

  • oh the holy grail. thats in my cup cupboard. oh, and the real holy grail was a painting wasnt it

  • the Holy Grail also (San Grael or sang rael) meaning Rotal Family os repited to be a lot of things chalices, paintings, chairs, tables, blood of Christ, mary magdalene etc etc etc

  • of me and u teamed up we could blow away any religious hoax/myth? whadda ya think

  • quite possibly so are you still preteding to be Derren by the way

  • whadda ya mean 'pretending'

  • Well you do get a lot of cranks on here "Derren", How's the painting going by the way.

  • ummm.... its going fine. and by the way i just said my name was derren brown. not that i was this one? hooray for misinterpretation!!

  • i kind of guessed you were not THE Derren Brown, perhaps A Derren Brown, but then what arethe chances of A Derren Brown being interested in THE Derren Brown etc. That's why i have been trying to test you !!!

  • i never professed to be THE derren brown. if you look back i just said I AM DERREN BROWN as in my name.

  • I sort of guessed that which is why I started referring to you as "Derren" plus the fact if you read the real Derren's book and read the interviews he has done he was asked that if he ever used You Tube

    he would probably sign in as himself - so he has said himself.
