Derren Brown Hypnotizes People to think that paper is Money!

[cebolaloco]

i'll not work ever again!!!

[richardmuthwill]

3:05 "Take it, it's fine, it's fine." He it truly a master of hypnosis.

[REMnut12]

I love Derren's face as he walks away from the hotdog stand. Brilliant!

[fritzz363]

to me it seems like creating an atmosphere mixed with misdirection has something to do with it

[kev3d]

I think this would work best on people who have the same first language as the "trickster". The hot dog vendor, unless I missed my guess, was not a native english speaker and would probably not listen to the details of the key words meant to throw them off. All he would be thinking is Hotdog-Cash-Change. That said, I doubt these techniques would work on me because I am too easily dis

Hey look, a squirrel!

[MemeScythe]

Are they actually being hypnotized, or are they just too scared to challenge him?

I think they are initially happy to have a well dressed upper class guy doing business with them at first, and they're just to nice to scare him away.

It seems to me to be almost similar to the by-stander effect, but in a 1 on 1 situation. I think they know they got conned instantly, but are to cowardly to do anything about it. and let him just walk away.

[dr1pdr0pz]

@MemeScythe yeah, too scared to say something while he walk away with a platinum ring.

[AndrewRyanJD]

@MemeScythe its NLP he is telling there subconscious things that makes them belive it is "Fine" and commanding them by "Take it"

[NaYarB04]

Jedi mindtricks dont work on him only money

[nyhtml]

This is why businesses like hiring imigrants. They won't get scammed.

[DuratagicA]

i can do that.... with a gun

[jdp2606]

Even if he doesn't give the stuff back I'd justify it because it's such amazing NLP

[dannyboyinxs]

You know i watched this a first time and didn't know how he did it. Yet just upon watching it again, when he was talking about the subway, he said the words "take it, it's fine" which related to both his story and the real situation at hand.

The moment i realised what he just did, my mind just exploded. This is incredible.

[fennecfanatic]

This is a pattern interrupt. All you need to do is get someone distracted, then induce them to perform a very routine activity (which they are thinking even less about since they're distracted) and break the pattern, at which point you can impart a suggestion (here, "take it, it's fine.") The pattern here is accepting money, which these people do all day, every day.

[TheGrimsReaper]

lulz he tricked the jew out of his platnum

[georgianborat]

Do you people believe in this bullshit?

[Kenshiroit]

@georgianborat why not? happen to lots of people every day.

[dannyboyinxs]

@georgianborat worked didn't it? I just tried this concept on a mate, but with a drink. I practically told him he wants it, and he took it.

Obviously i can just tell it won't work on you because you don't believe in what you're told. Your comment is a perfect example.

It's not a matter of believing - we know it will work on some. Now click the "exit" button and continue watching your justin bieber videos.

[georgianborat]

@dannyboyinxs suck my dick then. That one I will believe

[weekendpranksDJ]

he says take it, that goes to ur head and u take it...

[trident3b]

the first guy gave him change, but db only said "take it it's fine"... so what did the guy think he received as he must have calculated the change. Was he giving him change for 10, 20 dollars or what? He didn't seem to hypno the guy into thinking he just received, say, a 10 dollar bill... just money.. if you get my drift.

[judaspriestrocks4]

i live this. idk how it works but is he using the same key words? i notice he sticks to the same patter in the stores.

[stormprorustyc]

they key is distraction with the giving him directions, and his story always ends with my friend said..."take it, it's fine...take it....as he hands them the paper....powerful suggestion that the paper is fine to take for money. their conscious mind is thinking about the directions, while the subconscious mind accepts the suggestion that the paper is fine....NOT BS...and It most definitely IS hypnosis! Not with integrity, but it is.

[trident3b]

@stormprorustyc ok, but what part of the subliminal message told the person how much money they received so that they could actually give db the right change??

[ROFLmyWAFLZ]

He just keeps up small talk and people take their attention off of the sale.

[guicapone2]

if this crap really is true.. how come no one is realllly damn rich? like everyone driving lambos with raining prostitutes?

I just hope i can convince my professor to bumb my grade in calculus!

[SetOfAllReals]

Demonic influence, almost certain here. If you don't believe that SATANIC forces are at work in this world, then watch this more closely. . .the ultimate misdirection is his getting the rest of you (brainwashed sinners) to believe he is cool. Pure Evil...I don't respect him a bit. MOST importantly: e^i*pi + 1 = 0.

[marek0086]

@SetOfAllReals~ what did u write at the end??

[haris000000]

@SetOfAllReals how is it satanic to use our god given minds hmmm kinda paradox wouldnt u say

[alektheman123]

1:56 that dude's like. Jedi mind tricks don't work on me.

[Jmontastic]

it didnt work with the guy selling hotdogs becasue he had no idea what derren was talking about and was fully focused on the money

[theistobias]

fake fake fake fake fake fake fake

[B1w123]

i give up who is he?

[789123Y]

This has nothing to do with hypnosis. It's just misdirection. The people are focusing on him instead of the money, so they will accept paper as money.

[marek0086]

@789123Y~ it clearly is hypnosis!..... when he's handing over the money he's saying "its fine, its fine.... take it". Its "subliminal messaging".

[skidmarks868]

i like how the black guy notices but nobody else does

[hellenic300]

i know how he does it lol

whenever he's about to give them the paper he says take it just take it it's fine and he uses the story about the subway or the headache to cover it up and subconsciously make the cashiers think that the paper is OK and they should take it

[TheExtase69]

wow you're a genius .. aren't you?

[sensless1mc]

this is what the fed does to the americans

[Schensue]

Wow, he builds up his story right to the point when he hands over the cash, so he can then say "take it, just take it, it's fine". I bet you have to be pretty hard-boiled to be convincing.

[knobs13]

i caught it. the hand motions, the covert. this guy is a genius!

[Luckystrike315]

Exactly. Conditioning them to think or "know" he's correct. Then he distracts them from what is really going on.

[Immuuni]

How the hell didnt the first guy see that it was just plain money? He even gave him change back. How the hell could he know how much did he have to give him back?

[PantsThatDontFit]

you'll never phase out the majority

the good man is aware of your deceptions

satan

[goodbeingtheking]

yes o' lord satan I pray that you take away these fools who actually believe in you! and I pray to you easter bunny and toothfairy and santa.... COME ON! WAKE UP FROM THIS TRANCE THAT RELIGION HAS YOU ON!

[Nikotehwolf]

I think the hot dog guy didn't have english as a first language so probably couldn't understand what he was saying so didn't fall pray to the manipulation

[kyuuketsukiblood]

yeah your right he has an accent from a different language. nice catch i didn't realize that at first

[brickmastertube]

"It's ok, take it. Take it, it's fine"

[MagicXXMadness]

LOL at the end. He finally noticed it wasn't real money. lol.

Guy: F**k! this is comin out of my pay check"........

[syetamir]

wooooooooow!looooooooooooooool­!!he is the best!

[Jaredneslo]

but isnt that stealing? he mustve given the stuff back later...

[theamazingduck]

On the actual episode that this aired on, it was stated that all of the stuff was given back... even though I don't know if they'd take back 3 filets once they've been wrapped up and taken outside.

[xHizukax]

i think the ring has not been given back....

[xcarmox]

@xHizukax In what world you live?...course they gave the ring back....this is telly, a public serie to show people how our minds get tricky and works sometimes...being him an hoster of a show and the though of a tv steal money from radom people is course unceptable by society...so again do you really think he keep it all?....grow up!!!

[xHizukax]

@xcarmox my post is old, and at that time i really believe in his so called 'HYPNOTISM'... but now to me he is david blaine........ in other words 'fake' ...

[xcarmox]

@xHizukax Alright mate, sorry for the rudeness...was kinda mean to you.

Take care ;)

[SebAlva]

If you watch the video, he's always telling them about the subway saying: Take it, it's fine. Also the drugstore telling them to take it and feel OK. So I think he gets into the unconcious mind. Only the hotdog guys are always checking to see if money is genuine cos they're in the street. They obviously don't get tricked as easily.

[sizzlerz101]

thats not hypnosis

thats just distraction..

[mythros1]

its nlp

[SuperSaiyanDavid435]

no it isn't the guy looked at the paper and examined it and thought it was money.

[snakebite1423]

Everybody Listen!... This is not Hypnosis (in a way it might be) He is talking to the subconscious, and telling it "take it it's fine" If you didnt notice watch the vid again!

[awwwwnaaaa]

wow.........the first guy gave him change..........how much would he know to give back? this is a joke!

[TheEskimoMagichian]

@awwwwnaaaa He figured it was a 20.

[canadamonster]

omg

[Mysenthrope]

It's not BS, and it's not "hypnosis." It's largely NLP, and the manipulation of cues and, even low awareness and low self-esteem.

[Orjas67]

During the times of cold war, Derren Brown would have been a class-A agent and trainer for other agents.

[canadamonster]

i am sure they did

[howtohypnotizesomeon]

Great vid!

[LovelyYTRocks]

"Asshole".

[ThaLaughinMan]

Listen he says:

"Take it...Take it fine"

"Whats good for you to take, just take that and you'll feel okay"

"Take it, it's fine it's fine"

Very interesting, lol

[morten90]

it bullshit

[DjDivado]

how the hell is this possible? he pays him for fish and he gives back change? wtf!! that is bullshit!!

[CoogiGrl]

old sh!t...

[HARDMANALIVE]

pure bullshit

[truvelocity]

I know how. He gets them engaged, he mirrors their body language to create a rapport, and then comes up with a story and then says "take it it's fine" during the transaction and leaves quickly. It doesn't work on all people, just those who are bored and not expecting anything like that to happen.

[XxRomero88xX]

what he does is ask a question about where something is, like the subway and that leads to a little story with someone in his story tellin him to "TAKE IT, ITS FINE"...WHILE....hes handing over the money. so the person receiving the money hears "take it, its fine" and sub-consciously "taking" the money and not checkin it because "its fine" even though "take it, its fine" had nothing to do with the money. it was part of his story.

[TTachi95]

Hes just knos how the brain works or somethin and therfore you lose money

[iBrando89]

yea if you keep saying i like poop it turns out you like poop and derren just made 100$ causeyou like poop

[TTachi95]

that would be hilarious if he did that to someone. And he definaltly could do that

[bjan87]

Here is my view on the hot dog guy: he is probably the direct beneficiary/owner of the business and have more incentives to pay attention, unlike the other guys. People who conclude a hot dog seller is simply less intelligent is just idiotic. There is simply 0 empirical data to support your elitist claim.

[R3v3r4nD]

Or maybe just simply the language? As English not being his mother tounge and he's not proficient in using it, he translates what he hears instead of 'understanding' the meaning?

[ElevenElevenReallity]

Some people are just more subseptible to hypnosis than others. Hot dog guy is not.

[scflyer55]

The jeweler took a whole wad of paper! Brilliant! He looked at it then went to put it it's proper slot and realized then they were blank! I guess the less one worries about money and pleasing a customer, the less likely they'd be to be taken in by this. I am putting the linked CD's in my van so I can listen at least an hour a day to them and try some of these goofs on folks!

[carsonwl]

the first one, he used a subliminius messages like, "...take it it's fine..."

[basshunet]

he pwned them all but he phailed on the hotdog guy

[Voltechs]

lol. I think it didn't work on him because he was probably slightly less intelligent than average and didn't have quite the command over the english language, two things important for being susceptible to suggestibility.

[bjan87]

Here is your logic: he is a hot dog seller and therefore is not as smart. This is a dumbass conclusion. I do agree with the English language issue though.

[iLiam13]

HOLY SHIT THAT LOOKS COOL

[CS0120]

He does misdirection via fluff talk, and that causes the people to temporarily forget what exactly money looks like.

He repeats "20" in the 1st interaction, to make it seem like he was using a 20.

And he uses the line "take it" over and over.

Even if the DO realize that the money's "plain", people have a nature of fearing being wrong. And his professionalish look comes into play and creates a sense of authority. Therefore, he CAN'T be wrong.

[florachu2121]

ur right

[StaRrySky]

how come it didn't work on the hot dog seller?

[aceblaster87]

it doesnt work because the hot dog seller is not focus enough. Hypnosis works very well with smart people.

[eXcommunicate1979]

Also it looks like the hot dog seller didn't have English as his first language.

[florachu2121]

omg, u serious??..smart people got hypnotized easily? how and y??...this is scary

[StaRrySky]

how cme it didn't work on the hot dog seller?

[kechu723]

your video qualities are crap

[thejeremiah]

Notice how he says "take that...take it...it's fiiiine". Hahaha.

[larikka]

"asshole" HAHAHAHAHA! Brilliant stuff

[iraqedude6]

wow the people did not see the blank paper oley the hotdog guy notist the 1 time but not the 2 time he is a loser

[kommie21]

i want to learn how to do that so i can pay for all my tickets no problem! haha

[dredragon7]

I hope he went and gave everything back the people there need that money and hes so rich hed be a real asshole if he didnt...

[internet740]

and he got chnagel lolz

[claudis192]

I have an old saying where i come from. You can't bullshit a bullshiter. That hotdog merchant must be a real bullshiter.

[emervca88]

hahahaha nicely put

[jfsimard79]

You are correct. It is no longer backed by gold or silver. If anything, a Federal Reserve Note is debt money.

[gullygunz000]

lol what an asshole

[rgee92]

He is distracting the atention of people

[morningPMshow]

i would love to see someone try this while recording it live. like say exactly what derren says lol and try it xD

[iluvdannywatt]

u stole r language fool

[paddymac12596241421]

You probably descend from the british foo'.

[ome69]

offs hes not satanic .. and even if he was he does using sggestiona nd nlp and hypnotism to perform... for those of you that boil it down to satanism i say to u open ur mind .. and stop being so narrow minded

[geo837ma]

the way he does the subway bit is by saying just take it take it its fine

[itrod123]

Correct me if am wrong but there is not much to it, all he doing is engaging the individual in conversation while they are giving him the stuff which brakes there concentration for about 3 seconds then when they realize it, then it's to late.

[theonlyonebuttwo]

notice that he says "I was a bit intimidated to take the subway, but my friend said JUST TAKE IT, ITS OK JUST TAKE IT. those last lines are actualy persuading the shop owner to just take the paper

[Jarquavius101]

i noticed that too. imma try it =]

[garmonIAGO]

i doubt it!

[lwouldliketoknow]

"You know my dads 65??" LOL random.

[lilscottyurine]

lol wtf why did ReadingFC write the same message twice

and one got "poor comment" and one god "good comment"

[BillyBobsEel]

probly...people read one and thing "thats good"+1

then read the other and go"OMG WTF. WHY ARE THERE TWO! ONE WAS ENOUGH!"-1

[enrymcnally]

stupit ass yanks!! lol only in the USA ehh

[iKinDesigns]

That's funny, Hitler said the same thing about you Brits before America came to your aid.

[enrymcnally]

ha came to ur aid. u got pushed into the war by the japs u freek! u daft twats dont even know which way to shoot!! friendly fire!! errrr dik eds!! have a go when u think ur hard enuf prick!!

[c3s4rp3r3z]

Unbelievable. You really need to read a book. Before the U.S. even got directly involved in the war, they provided financial aid to the Allies. The only reason that the Allies won both World Wars was because of the financial aid and troops that the U.S. provided.

[Froddy9]

The Americans did shit all in the war, the only influence America had on the war was the money they provided for BOTH sides, dickhead. Go and learn your stuff before you reply because you will not win this one.

[ReadingFc2007]

if you look when he's talking about the subway he always says "my friend said TAKE IT, ITS FINE, ITS FINE" as he hands over the money

this happens both at the jewellers and the meat store, as he gives them the money he tells them ITS FINE, TAKE IT, but they are distracted because they are thinking he is talking about the subway

clever, i would never have the guts to pull it off.
