For the 2nd guy, when you lock your legs like that it cuts off the circulation to your brain, and you begin to feel light headed (some people run into this problem in marching band, thats why anyone in a competetive marching band knows to never lock your legs) combined with the idea that hes going to fall back, all he had to do was watch when the man would fall back to catch him. Very nice trick :D
Their very lack of a belief system is what makes these people so suggestible in the first place. Derren is simply using his NLP skills to fill their subconscious need for spiritual fulfillment. You see, the very act of non-belief or denial is an affirmation the persons need to find some type of meaning in life.
I'd love to believe that he's really demonstrated the easy manipulation of religion on people, but I also have to wonder if the people were "plants" for this program.
If I had to guess...lets accept what we know to be facts...to create a strong illusion he had to have convincing people. It was too risky for the woman not to be involved, also the man...he wasn't trying to convince them he was trying to convince the evangelist. As per when the man knew to fall back...Derr
en Brown could have blown on the his back giving the sign to fall back...

Pretty sure that girl at the beginning is a stooge. Then once everybody else sees someone who doesn't believe instantly converted, they're more willing to accept that Derren has some kind of mystical power.
@deliciousdan I don't know if she was a stooge but he definitely picked her to go first for a reason. He must have seen her susceptibility so that others would be more willing to accept.
@peterandowl no hes shown his subliminal messages without a doubt in some videos.. hes just good at it.. like when hes was talking to the phycic in the first part he got her to draw boat by overstating the word overboard and things like that
@billoakesattablthree You can only influence people who are open to it. These people where open to it, else they would not say they do not believe in God and are defending it. (Remember the saying: People who scream the loudest...) People who go to such a thing, are somehow open to it, else they would not go. They just want some prove. But what sort of prove is it that Derren shows up with?
@douma4000 That's not Darren's point. His point is in the minister's view, and in beliefs. That's just part of the trick. (Also part of the trick is going with the flow. Once people see it, they go with it.)

God gave this world FREE WILL. Much of the bad things in this world, is not Gods fault. Much of it is caused by MAN. The pollution to this world we've done, causes many birth defects and illnesses. For example: Pork is a widely consumed meat / product. Many people eat it without question. But did you know the Bible says not to eat it, because it is unhealthy for us to eat. Science has proven that many animals sweet out toxins. Pigs can not sweet... so the toxins are stored in their fat.
If god is the only reason we have free will, how is it free? Pigs are fairly healthy to eat too, there are many different ideas for why the ancient jews considered them unholy. Some even claim its because pigs sound eerily similiar to humans when they are butchered (their screams) and many cannibals say pig and human taste similiar. Thats not even to mention some of parasites one can obtain by eating pork that isn't properly cooked.
So Atheists just need love? When the definition of ideals and love falter in their minds, is why God does not exist. I knew he was gonna' catch that guy @ 4:28, way before the set up. He's giving the man what he needs emotionally. Its not tricks, it's insight and observations on people. I've had that gift always. Now I understand myself better, and understand others even more. I know Darren does not believe in God, but I do. Tricking others either direction is wrong. Teaching 2 empower is just.
@VothicX Do you mind if i bring up a few questions? Don't you think religion is just essentially a coping mechanism? And like that guy says, if it works for some then it's fine. However, on the notion of free will - supposedly, god created humans w/ free will - we're made of tiny cells and particles who make us up as a whole, don't these things essentially have free will, isn't that why some ppl have diseases? come on people, it's really easy to explain.

I find it strange that he can so easily touch people on the head and they don't try and stop him or look surprised. Human brain is amazing.

Hmm... those people weren't atheists for the right reasons. The reasons they gave for being non theists were quite weak.

I hope he deprograms them afterward or at the very least de-converts some nutter religious types to balance things out.

When you stand with your feet together, it's easier to fall back, rather than our normal standing stance.

Hmmm anyone notice that he told the guy that "he'll be safe that he'll catch him" planted the suggestion of falling in the guy's mind...really good.
