Does Derren Brown say that pastors and preachers use hypnosis to convert people? Isn't this really advanced hypnosis which would means that all preachers have to use years to learn how to create this illusion to be able to convince people?
@DDudemaister Well, Derren does admit he sometimes fails. So a person who seems receptive from the getgo would be better. I also believe this has more to do with "healers" than preachers, and most of the time you'll only need a couple of people to be "healed" for everyone else to see and believe (if they are already there, then they should be open). When a person believes so strongly that what they are doing is true and helping others, they might suggest that as well. There are many factors...
I would like to know more about how this was advertised. Was there a photo of Derren Brown? I know of Derren Brown & am from the USA. Even before I could say I knew him by name I saw mind control on the sci fi (The initials of the channel have changed) channel & found him again when I had access to the internet. This seems like a psychology test that boasts of how poorly done it is because all answers have the I am rubber your glue effect concerning all conversion.

These are some of the more stupid fucking atheist I have seen. I would love to see if someone convince of a god just by touching me, why leave? I have no investment in atheism I just go where the evidence takes me.
I am falling more and more madly in love with Derren Brown by the minute....it is killing me that he is gay :(. Like I would have a chance even if he was straight ahahahahaha. In my dreams betch!
Demons? Derren Brown is an atheist. What he's doing throughout this whole series is to show that these magical things that you've experienced are illusions. You've really gotta force your ignorance if you actually believe what you said.
@pr0kris Thanks. The bible also says that too the wisdom of God is foolish to world so I understand your anger against God and I dont hold it against you. I appreciaite you effort in trying to help me undersatnd my religion. Thank you for your concern.
Its called Entertainment folks and hes a magician if its set up thats exactly what it is...If you do not find it entertaining don't watch it its that simple...
All his videos are staged and fraudulent. He has you people believing in his abilities without even showing proof, pre-hypnosis, physical contact, or anything now, its quite pathetic. Miracles for Sale was the only one that seemed a bit credible because there wasnt magic tricks, Im sure there were fake storys & actors though still.
@XenovannHellwolf you are choosing not to believe your eyes, because that's what heavily indoctrinated people do. Brown is a professional mentalist who uses well-known psychological tricks and manipulation to achieve these demonstrations, there are no actors or camera tricks used. Consider that it'd take only ONE professional to step forward and debunk Derren's entire career, and that hasn't happened yet. you want to believe this is fake because you dislike the point he's making.
@XenovannHellwolf Agreed. People seem to be worshiping Derren Brown in the same way that they worship the people he's claiming to expose now. He's turning into a Kenneth Copeland disguised as James Randi. The only redemption for him would be to come out and admit all the stoogery and fakery his shows have used.
Honestly, this one was a little less impressive than the remote viewing one. It's just basic psychology and manipulation. Granted, he does it like a master, but I know several psych grad students who could pull this off too.
I don't get it... if you are an atheist whit strong believes that God do not egzists why you need to go to talk about it... isn't it a giant waste of time?
This whole thing looks ridiculous and staged. I can't help but feel that this whole thing is designed to make Atheists believe in Derren Brown instead of a religion =)
"I want you to know you´re gonna hurt yourself or anything like that, alright? I will catch you when this happens."
He´s effectively teilling the guy to let himself fall.
And if I didn´t know Derren Brown and how awesome he is, after that bit with the girl in the beginning I would have been on my feet, shouting: "You´re a liar and you´re either a liar as well or just insane." to him and the girl respectively.
Intense experiences from close proximity, pregnant meaningful silences and falling exercises....Oh my putative god; its a trust camp. He's conning a room full of people with stuff you'll find at a corporate retreat. Combine that with crowd selection and you've got a televangelist.
Part of the trick that Derren Brown uses is he knows these people are influenced easily. He put up flyers to a religious talk which means the people who came here are largely people who want to be influenced. He probably scouted the crowd and looked for the most susceptible person and try to influenced them so he could then slowly influence others. By judging reactions given by the crowd he just did what most religious leaders talking to the crowd do.
@magdalenaferu I dont think he made the man look into a mirror. I think he did it by making sounds. He deliberately shoveled his feet, so that the man knew there was movement of Derren. Then he stood still for a second and when he went forward with his hand towards the man, he shoveled one foot very heavily towards the man as well, to give the cue to fall. And the man indeed fell because of the words "I will catch you when this happens."
@magdalenaferu yes, you are correct. if you asked derren, he would probably tell you that. its all psychology, obviously for us the viewers too. doesnt change the fact that believing in some magical bearded man that gives a shit about you is insane.
I love Derren Brown's work, however this was tasteless!!! Just because he is Atheist doesn't mean he has to go around making a mockery of Jesus Christ. Christ didn't forcefully convert. He told the truth and allowed them to cross over on their own!!!
@Fastlan3 Derren didn't allow them to convert to Christianity via their own hearts, which is what Christ did.
You speak as an athiest. In order to accept any biblical reference, you must accept God's word (the bible) as truth. Otherwise, its pointless.
The bible speaks of the unpardonable sin. Christ didn't perform his miracles via magic, magick, or the occult. It was divinity(Heaven empowered). You have just spoken against the Holy Spirit.
Religion however is questionable. You don't have to have a denomination. You do have to believe in Christ. After much years of study, I have found that out! You have to believe that he died for our sins and rose three days later. Thats it!
I know there will be other religious comments from Christians. (I'm one by the ways)
But dude I'm telling you, thats all you need to believe. I think Derren as well as other athiests has been misinformed.
Talk about being questionable, where and how did you "find that out!"? Someone told you, or you thought of it yourself, and it made you feel good inside, yeah? Perhaps you witnessed something you feel is miracle?
Your conviction has nothing to do with the truth. What are the convictions of others, those that oppose your views?
If you can not be honest about the legitimacy of these questions you should be mocked as well. You don't find truth by breeding ignorance.
"GOD" had said in his last Holy Book which is the Quran when the subject came to Jesus Christ "Tell human, how come did you believe in your father Adam whom he was created with neither a father nor a mother and then you debate about Jesus Christ" in other words Jesus had a visible mother whom "GOD" had also spoken and pre- declared his visit to mother Mary by sending her Angel Gabriel to inform her about what she will be experiencing in his last Holy Book the Quran.
Derren Brown clearly has something that the average person doesn't. I'm not saying it's spiritual or supernatural, but he seems to be a master at mind-control.
@karlkarlkarl1234 Yep, he's a mentalist. Like Simon Baker in the TV series (just not quite *that* charming). Have you seen that stunt with the people raising their hands in the mall on cue?
That one with the guy falling is pretty weird, though. Of course he hinted at falling and everything ("I'm going to catch you") and made sure the man didn't stand solidly (putting his feet together), but the timing with the hand-motion was really impressive.
@GreyLabyrinthine I think the timing comes from Derren just seeing when he's going to fall, seeing he's about to fall and then doing the hand-motion.
Also I think Derren hasn't got any abilities normal persons don't have, I think in principle anyone could do what he does, some people would be better at it than others and it would take a lot of practice, it's just like anything else, like music or painting.
@WitteTroost I think so, too... and maybe there's also some luck in timing it? Hard to say.
I totally agree with you. Ever since The Mentalist and Lie To Me we really all know that it's maybe 5% inherited talent for "reading" people('s faces, body language etc.) and the rest is just regular training. Still, it's impressive to see someone so totally controlling and predicting and... playing people. He'd be an awesome poker player, and the best sales representative on earth :)
Don't think so. Don't underestimate the power of touch--especially if a person is lonely or feels cut off from people. There are studies that show we need touch more that we assume. We are hard wired social animals but modern social structures interfere with this. It's not surprising when some people feel an intense [platonic] emotional reaction from touch, they may assume something "otherwordly"...
They change their opinions because they are emotionally tricked just like all reliigous people. They also want to believe so badly that all it takes is a touch and some touchy emotional language and than they believe.
BLOCK your emotions. I know it sounds bad. BUT you need to block your emotions and use logic.. YOUR EMOTIONS SKEW LOGIC AND REALITY AND TRICK YOU INTO BELIEVING THE IRRATIONAL..!!!!!!!!! DON'T LET YOUR EMOTIONS FOOL YOU!
@bluewatermonster - it was about tricking the priest or whatever. the people you saw "change" were just in on it. they acted that way to give the priest the idea derren could really do these things. get it? tháts the trick. maybe some of the people there werent stooges but the girl and the guy were.
@bluewatermonster What does reason, desire, or any emotion have to do with belief? Is that why people take on any beliefs, and if so which beliefs? Can people self report why they belief what they believe? There are people who do not believe the left side of the world exists & will argue the point irrationally. Is there not an obvious reason to emotionally desire a belief that includes all of the world one sees?
@tekproxy fair enough.. but obviously you don't need to be familiar with another, particular atheist to be an atheist yourself.... btw, what is a lowbie anyway? i'm assuming it's comparable to a "noob".. any chance you can clarify for me?
This is so funny lol Why are these people switching their opinion on God? It's because they are ignorant, ignorant of religion, ignorant of Atheism, ignorant of it all. They are emotionally based, and so if you screw with their emotions you can change their opinion. Ironically, I learned in RELIGION long ago that you have to try and block your emotional impulses in favor of the facts, and I actually used that to escape religion lol.
To all who claim this is fake or contrived...you only think so because you dont understand his methods. It like when an illusionist does a trick and then fully explains his method; you think "wow, I cant believe how obvious it seems now" Although when Derren on the rare occasion does explain his methods, he usually does not tell the whole truth; why should he?
Ummm this is definitely demonic, the bible talks about how the devil disguises himself as something positive and edifying. The pastor makes me mad by not having a deep enough spiritual life to discern this.
@notemetasconmigo06 This is not demonic, I wont disclose his methods; however I will say that what he does is no different from what happens daily in society. It is subliminal in nature, a trick not real magic since that does not exist. Even the man who falls backwards without being able to see Derren; if i told you what Derren really did, you would understand completely that its a trick of the mind; nothing spiritual in nature whatsoever. Btw after the demonstration he "undid" the conversion
does anyone know a video where he or anyone shows how these things are done? like the touching and making them fall or touching the cheek feeling thing? please reply to this.
@JobaDiniz well obviously it's fake and unless you have a video it's stupid to say reply saying no. Imagine how annoying it is if everyone responded saying no. Why not sit there and do something else instead of explaining the already obvious you jerk?
@OkWheresMyMonkey He's showing how people can be scammed into believing anything. The next step, if he were unscululous is to ask for a 'donation' that's how it works!
The thing is , he´s not trying to convince the group in his meeting but the priest behind it, therefor it´s plausible that the people he converts are the stooges and the rest of the people will follow because that is what people do.. They don´t want to stand out from the crowd
Can he manipulate anyone like that or does that only work on semi conscious people like the "YOU KNOW" girl. Also these atheists don't seem to be the type of people that gave much thought on why they don't believe.
This just shows us that derren brown is good at manipulating people, it doesn't prove that these religions are fake. Just because there are a lot of religion scams does not mean that there aren't people with these religions that truly have your best interest at heart and aren't scamming you for your money.
@MomoTheBellyDancer because of people like you. People who after seeing this are going to think or already thinking that every religion is out there to get your money and they all have bad intentions.
"People who after seeing this are going to think or already thinking that every religion is out there to get your money and they all have bad intentions. "
What religions crave most of all is power and money comes in very handy with that, thank you. Or do you think all those churches just build themselves?
@MomoTheBellyDancer the church isn't forcing anyone to give money, they want money for regular costs or to improve the church or sometimes for charities it isn't going to one person who gets rich of it. If there are churches (and i think there probably are) were all or a large portion of the money goes to one person than it probably is a scam and no not every church is a scam.
@MomoTheBellyDancer ''They use deceit and subterfuge for the same purpose, which boils down to the same.''
they aren't deceiving, in order to deceive one must consciously mislead you by telling stories that they don't even believe themselves but 99% DO BELIEVE IT"S TRUE and they use the money for what they said it is for. Yes there are scammers out there with scammers i mean people that don't believe the stories they are telling but you cant blame the whole religion for that.
@MomoTheBellyDancer ''Basically, they..'' a scam means deceiving people to get money, so not telling the trued to get money. It isn't proven that it's false, it is said to be false because of lack of evidence, but that doesn't mean that it couldn't be true. For example:
If you were born in the 50's and you had a older brother also born in the 50's, you can't prove that he is your real brother, it was told that he is your real brother, does that mean that he isn't your real brother(no prove),no
@MomoTheBellyDancer 'Basically, they are, since they can't provide evidence for any of their claims. '' and but there is prove. type in the youtube search bar : 'The Physical remains of Sodom and Gomorrah its the first clip
and you need to watch the whole thing to understand the evidence.
@sitecomable If you're concerned about people thinking in that manner after viewing these videos, then it seems to me that it's your responsibility to present some countervailing evidence, not to simply spam the same assertion over and over again.
@guysmiley00 it's very hard to prove with that a religion is true,i cant prove with physicalevidence that God is real you have to personally experience ityourself.All I can say is read the bible seriously,research the religion,maybe rent some books of people that have got historical evidence,archaeological evidence about biblical stories,sit down with your local vicar and have a serious conversation or talk to other religious people about there experienceYou can at least try it it won't harm you
and there are millions of people that are in the same situation as me, SO PLEASE DON'T BELIEVE THAT THAT ALL RELIGIONS ARE SCAMS OUT THERE TO TAKE YOUR MONEY.
I am a Christian (protestant) and my religion doesn't have a negative influence on my life at all.I go to church for FREE and no one is pressuring me to give money or to buy stuff, no one will treat you different if you don't give money. They will lovingly receive you wither your black,brown,white,etc and you can stay as long as you want the money that is given is just for maintenance costs and the rest of the money is given to charity. They will also show step by step were the money is going.
This just shows us that derren brown is good at manipulating people, it doesn't prove that these religions are fake. Just because there are a lot of religion scams does not mean that there aren't people with these religions that truly have your best interest at heart and aren't scamming you for your money.
No kidding. He evokes an emotional response, call them back into a time when they were imbued with one particular faith, and then use a semi-sensual touch to anchor them into that recall. Making dude fall and "I don't want to put words in your mouth"... Yeah, he's got the skills to talk Trump out of his AmEx Black Card.
You haven't lived with a bunch of salespeople and night-club owners who've tried reading Bandler and Grinder, and try their NLP seminars on you, have you?
I wonder if giving that woman a touch (or near touch?) stimulated a release of oxytocin. If so, her comparison to feeling a hug makes sense. Oxytocin makes people more trusting.

"GOD" had said in his last Holy Book which is the Quran when the subject came to Jesus Christ "Tell human, how come did you believe in your father Adam whom he was created with neither a father nor a mother and then you debate about Jesus Christ" in other words Jesus had a visible mother whom "GOD" had also spoken and pre- declared his visit to mother Mary by sending her Angel Gabriel to inform her about what she will be experiencing in his last Holy Book the Quran.

Derren Brown clearly has something that the average person doesn't. I'm not saying it's spiritual or supernatural, but he seems to be a master at mind-control.
karlkarlkarl1234 1 year ago
@karlkarlkarl1234 Yep, he's a mentalist. Like Simon Baker in the TV series (just not quite *that* charming). Have you seen that stunt with the people raising their hands in the mall on cue?
That one with the guy falling is pretty weird, though. Of course he hinted at falling and everything ("I'm going to catch you") and made sure the man didn't stand solidly (putting his feet together), but the timing with the hand-motion was really impressive.
GreyLabyrinthine 1 year ago
@GreyLabyrinthine I think the timing comes from Derren just seeing when he's going to fall, seeing he's about to fall and then doing the hand-motion.
Also I think Derren hasn't got any abilities normal persons don't have, I think in principle anyone could do what he does, some people would be better at it than others and it would take a lot of practice, it's just like anything else, like music or painting.
WitteTroost 1 year ago
@WitteTroost I think so, too... and maybe there's also some luck in timing it? Hard to say.
I totally agree with you. Ever since The Mentalist and Lie To Me we really all know that it's maybe 5% inherited talent for "reading" people('s faces, body language etc.) and the rest is just regular training. Still, it's impressive to see someone so totally controlling and predicting and... playing people. He'd be an awesome poker player, and the best sales representative on earth :)

Don't think so. Don't underestimate the power of touch--especially if a person is lonely or feels cut off from people. There are studies that show we need touch more that we assume. We are hard wired social animals but modern social structures interfere with this. It's not surprising when some people feel an intense [platonic] emotional reaction from touch, they may assume something "otherwordly"...

They change their opinions because they are emotionally tricked just like all reliigous people. They also want to believe so badly that all it takes is a touch and some touchy emotional language and than they believe.
BLOCK your emotions. I know it sounds bad. BUT you need to block your emotions and use logic.. YOUR EMOTIONS SKEW LOGIC AND REALITY AND TRICK YOU INTO BELIEVING THE IRRATIONAL..!!!!!!!!! DON'T LET YOUR EMOTIONS FOOL YOU!

@bluewatermonster - it was about tricking the priest or whatever. the people you saw "change" were just in on it. they acted that way to give the priest the idea derren could really do these things. get it? tháts the trick. maybe some of the people there werent stooges but the girl and the guy were.

@bluewatermonster What does reason, desire, or any emotion have to do with belief? Is that why people take on any beliefs, and if so which beliefs? Can people self report why they belief what they believe? There are people who do not believe the left side of the world exists & will argue the point irrationally. Is there not an obvious reason to emotionally desire a belief that includes all of the world one sees?

This is so funny lol Why are these people switching their opinion on God? It's because they are ignorant, ignorant of religion, ignorant of Atheism, ignorant of it all. They are emotionally based, and so if you screw with their emotions you can change their opinion. Ironically, I learned in RELIGION long ago that you have to try and block your emotional impulses in favor of the facts, and I actually used that to escape religion lol.

To all who claim this is fake or contrived...you only think so because you dont understand his methods. It like when an illusionist does a trick and then fully explains his method; you think "wow, I cant believe how obvious it seems now" Although when Derren on the rare occasion does explain his methods, he usually does not tell the whole truth; why should he?

Ummm this is definitely demonic, the bible talks about how the devil disguises himself as something positive and edifying. The pastor makes me mad by not having a deep enough spiritual life to discern this.
notemetasconmigo06 1 year ago
@notemetasconmigo06 This is not demonic, I wont disclose his methods; however I will say that what he does is no different from what happens daily in society. It is subliminal in nature, a trick not real magic since that does not exist. Even the man who falls backwards without being able to see Derren; if i told you what Derren really did, you would understand completely that its a trick of the mind; nothing spiritual in nature whatsoever. Btw after the demonstration he "undid" the conversion

What religions crave most of all is power and money comes in very handy with that, thank you. Or do you think all those churches just build themselves?
MomoTheBellyDancer 1 year ago
@MomoTheBellyDancer the church isn't forcing anyone to give money, they want money for regular costs or to improve the church or sometimes for charities it isn't going to one person who gets rich of it. If there are churches (and i think there probably are) were all or a large portion of the money goes to one person than it probably is a scam and no not every church is a scam.

"the church isn't forcing anyone to give money"
They use deceit and subterfuge for the same purpose, which boils down to the same.
"not every church is a scam"
Basically, they are, since they can't provide evidence for any of their claims.
MomoTheBellyDancer 1 year ago
@MomoTheBellyDancer ''They use deceit and subterfuge for the same purpose, which boils down to the same.''
they aren't deceiving, in order to deceive one must consciously mislead you by telling stories that they don't even believe themselves but 99% DO BELIEVE IT"S TRUE and they use the money for what they said it is for. Yes there are scammers out there with scammers i mean people that don't believe the stories they are telling but you cant blame the whole religion for that.
luh69p 1 year ago
@MomoTheBellyDancer ''Basically, they..'' a scam means deceiving people to get money, so not telling the trued to get money. It isn't proven that it's false, it is said to be false because of lack of evidence, but that doesn't mean that it couldn't be true. For example:
If you were born in the 50's and you had a older brother also born in the 50's, you can't prove that he is your real brother, it was told that he is your real brother, does that mean that he isn't your real brother(no prove),no

I am a Christian (protestant) and my religion doesn't have a negative influence on my life at all.I go to church for FREE and no one is pressuring me to give money or to buy stuff, no one will treat you different if you don't give money. They will lovingly receive you wither your black,brown,white,etc and you can stay as long as you want the money that is given is just for maintenance costs and the rest of the money is given to charity. They will also show step by step were the money is going.
