I think i saw this episode he got a girl to press a button to kill a cat within 1 hour. with like 5 seconds left she pressed the button. Dont worry the cat was fine it was a trick through this.
I would not have done this. I was a very anxious child and I literally thought going to school was the End of the world and that getting told off was a death sentence.I didn't trust people. So, if I got told not to open it I probably would have not opened it, just in case.
I might try this at work...Obviously telling the children to DO their work doesn't get them to do it...maybe I'll say "Don't do your handwriting..it shouldn't be done anyway! "
They must have picked pretty forward outgoing kids for this though because I was the shyest kid on the face of the planet and if a complete stranger told me not to press the red button, I would not have pressed the red button.
this is so funny the way he laughs, and how awfull the kids are at lieing '' A hand came out and pressed the red button'' and hes jus like ....right... -_-
i keep going over it, never fails to make me laugh. :)
for some reason reverse psycology doesn't work on me... i'm serious i would have waited for hours on end for derren to come back because i wouldn't be pressing the button. but that's probably because most people on the internet are more mature than the kids.
@nemesis0778 yes, its all to do with ages - thats why Derren was appealing to Laurens childhood when he got her to "electrocute" the kitten - she needed to be in that childish, mischievous state
there wouldn't be many adults, teenagers or atleast older children that would press the button under the circumstances in this video
Please, Darren Brown is as smart as anyone else but he has studied the right courses at college. He has got lucky with the media but Please................. he is not a genius but a student who got lucky. There are many more out there who do all the research but dont have the fame!!!
@p4cm4n182 You are right, nothing to compare. But research has shown that the percentage of children pressing the button, is about 50% lower than the children who has been told not to open it (See the book: 59 seconds; think a little change a lot). Because when people tell children not to do something, children think that that is really what they want to do, because else these people would not talk so serious and be so strict. Don't know if it will work for adults...
if i would have to qualities from 2 people in the world it would be derren browns ability to understand minds and paul ekmans ability to understand and read emotions
i noticed while watching this on 4od that teh trick or treat thing is faked... he already decided wather they r gonna be tricked or if they r going to be treared the cards with trick or treat on it or exactly the same, if you tip the treat card upside down it says trick... so clever
@kebbs56 I've noticed when i comes to young girls or old women he gives them a treat because he probably assumes that they can't handle a trick but in the 2nd series the cards are different where the words are printed so they wont look the same upside down.
this reminds me when i was in my teens i couldnt smoke cigs, and i would because of the feeling that it isnt allowed, now that i can legally do it, i dont.
this is just an example of banning stuff from people i.e banning young people from drinking alcohol, by banning stuff like that from people, it makes it more attractive to do so. :-) Derren Brown = genius :-)
@mickety2001 fuck off you dumb cunt they where about 6 leave them alone not all kids are bad. your probly one of those people who think all teenagers do is walk around with a kknife and a video phone stabbing everyone laughing going "haha this'll go on youtube" yor such a cunt
@jarvinator100 I agree with you. Kids are just more gullible and curious when they're younger. They're only learning - it's not as if the box is electrified, is it?
look, this man is a ledged. He spent his entire life studying. Give him a break, he's brilliant at what he does and those who don't believe are just pesimistic.
no you dont. I started watching some of Derren Brown's stuff a few years ago, began mirroring people, and within about a month of practice I could tell what emotions people around me were feeling with extreme accuracy. You dont have to be a genius to do things like this, it's natural human mechanics. Look up Rapport if you want to learn things like this.
he doesnt claim to be a psychic and he denounces anything and anyone who claims to be psychic
he's just incredibly smart and understands and can read people on a mental level, what he proves really is that we are all pretty much the same on a sub-conscious level
@Smitamas101, i love derren brown so much and recently went to see him live :) he did an impression of stewie because someone in the audience was called stewie :P but i recently found out that he has done it at all the other concerts and to be honest i doubt that at every gig there is someone called stewie :| he must of got them to pretend to be called stewie which is making me think that he is fake :( if he asked him to do that what else has he asked people to do for him ?
@xrandomgirl13x of course its possible, we never really know what goes on behind the scenes, just because he says no one helps him doesnt necessarily make it true
maybe for something like a joke like that he could get away with it, its only a little joke probably to soften up the audience... or it could be part of his subliminal prepping for the audience, i guess we'll never know ;P
@xrandomgirl13x He did the same thing when I went to see him...There was a box where everyone could put questions during an interval and write his name on the front...He would then tell something about the person from their handwriting. Each time he got one he said was definitely a teenage boy, and it said "Why are you a wanker" :p
To be honest though I think they're just joke opportunities to keep audience attention...Even if I did think he used stooges etc then I doubt he'd be so careless.
@Smitamas101 EXACTLY what I think. He's psychologist I would say. That describes him better than a Psychic. He is very educated in Psychology, and uses it to make awesome 'mind' effects.
@carbint2 No he's a magician. Yes he knows psychology... but anything involving "mind reading" or anything like that would be inherently unpredictable. Something like this is a simple trick and is one of the FEW examples where Derren doesn't use any other kind of trickery. (Though there may have been children who didn't press the button who were cut out). Only the simple psychological tricks work. The rest is sometimes clever, sometimes very obvious, magic.
@Smitamas101 Quote from Derren Brown: " am often dishonest in my techniques, but always honest about my dishonesty.". " I happily admit cheating, as it's all part of the game. I hope some of the fun for the viewer comes from not knowing what's real and what isn't. I am an entertainer first and foremost". After he predicted the national lottery we knew that he had to cheat. Just makes you wonder which of his tricks are real and which arent.
i wish people would lighten up about darren brown and stop trying to decided if hes fake or real, fact of teh matter is what he dose is very very entertaining and he is very good at it, so just enjoy it, dont worry about how or if its possible, just enjoy it
Quite true, the reason this 'negative suggestion' works is because when you say "Don't open the box", the command "Open the box" is hidden within the sentence.
It's the same reason people will look down when you say "Don't look down". Effectively, you're giving them the command to look down which they pick up on at a subconscious level.
I guess it's logical - we don't always read "if, is, at, and, a, don't, want" etc on a conscious level (i.e. it's filtered to space room for conscious data).
In actual fact, as a child when you are told "not to do something", it is usually something you want to do. As a child grows into this habit of learning, the opposite also applies. When told "not to do" something, subconsciously the mind things, "Well, if I'm being told NOT to do it, I must WANT to do it". Therefore, the child does what ever they have been told not to do. This also links it to adults.
The bible needs burning, everyone last one. Show me a 'god' and ill believe otherwise, until then fuck you dumb cunts who believe in something never seen.
reason is, You make the rest of us atheist's look bad by acting like a child. You dont have proof that he dosent exist do you? You do not understand why people believe in such things. So please stop with the name calling etc. just make yourself look bad.
Half of that doesn't even make sense so i'll strip the bad spelling and inaccurate sentence making, from what you said. And i'll reply with "It's my opinion, i dislike god believers because if you believe in him, you're a fucking moron." Don't like it, don't read it.

Derren himself says that what he does isn't supernatural and whatnot.

Quite true, the reason this 'negative suggestion' works is because when you say "Don't open the box", the command "Open the box" is hidden within the sentence.
It's the same reason people will look down when you say "Don't look down". Effectively, you're giving them the command to look down which they pick up on at a subconscious level.

I guess it's logical - we don't always read "if, is, at, and, a, don't, want" etc on a conscious level (i.e. it's filtered to space room for conscious data).

Actually, you are not quite there.
In actual fact, as a child when you are told "not to do something", it is usually something you want to do. As a child grows into this habit of learning, the opposite also applies. When told "not to do" something, subconsciously the mind things, "Well, if I'm being told NOT to do it, I must WANT to do it". Therefore, the child does what ever they have been told not to do. This also links it to adults.

your making drastic and ill prepared arguements. I do not believe but please, dont act like an idiot.

Why do i need to prepare an argument? I'm simply stating anyone who believes in god is a brain dead spastic 'cause they have no proof.
smithy2365 2 years ago
reason is, You make the rest of us atheist's look bad by acting like a child. You dont have proof that he dosent exist do you? You do not understand why people believe in such things. So please stop with the name calling etc. just make yourself look bad.

Half of that doesn't even make sense so i'll strip the bad spelling and inaccurate sentence making, from what you said. And i'll reply with "It's my opinion, i dislike god believers because if you believe in him, you're a fucking moron." Don't like it, don't read it.
