  • LOL, "you never even mentioned the word foot, or errgh shoe".

    -.-" fake as fake can be.

  • At 5:15-5:17 you can hear Derren say "Can you both look at "foot". He says it in such a way it sounds like gibberish, but you can hear it.

  • @aphubler ur right!

  • I miss living in Europe, such great cultural diversity & travel opportunities are fantastic. By the way, great video Darren.

  • @seekperfection It's obvious how he does it - he is the antichrist prophesised in revelations. :) Gonna see him in MK on wed, can't wait! wwwDOTthechangeyourlifeblogDOT wordpressDOTcom

  • Derren is looking at her shoes. This is particularly evident at 6:32 - 6:34

  • Comment removed

  • derren you upper class snob,your shows are crap,anti climax to nothing but a yawn,here,read my mind then.Wrong! i said FUCK YOU YOUR NOT INTERESTING! TOSSER!

  • @lordnelson301 troll?

  • ive got it!!! if you go back to 3.29 Derren very sneakily when talking takes off his shoe and slaps judy with it!!!!!! man that took along time for me to figure out why he did that!!!

  • now i see why hes always saying "dont try to hep me out" coz it already has "help me out" in it

  • He said he's a huge Holmes fan, not shoes fan!

  • 4.18 it sounds like he says i'm a huge shoes fan! Also when he said about the map let me show you it sounded like 'let me shoe you' and when he was doing a map he said 'take half a step' making you think of your feet moving. Again with the map he said 'thinki about how you would get there- this makes you think of walking. As i was watching i noticed a few things. its about planting hints and words to associate with what you want them to think of.

  • @foreverparadise you are a genius!!

  • @don77frye Haha thanks. I am actually reading his book at the moment and am very interested in subliminal messaging and psychology so that helps!

  • It's not in his speech.

  • Yeah, man, why post only part of the video? Not to mention the fact that the title "How to Read Minds" is misleading, since that information is not given in the video. It should be named "Derren Brown Does Some Mind Tricks".

    Well, at least we didn't see Rick Ashley singing...

  • Choosing 'A' at the beginning, is probably because Derren said "it's A letter or the Alphabet", a few times over (in which the letter A is most prominent). Then when he said "it's not an R or a J", the letters "R J" will tend to pop up in her mind. To a British person (such as myself), the space between "R" and "J" tends to fill itself with an "A" because of the word "RAJ". To me, the letters "R" and "J" together are meaningless without the letter "A" in between!

  • Additionally, phonetically "R" in Derren's accent sounds like "ah" and "J" sounds like "A" with a "juh" at the beginning. So he's also hinting at "A" with the sounds of those two letters.

  • pause it at 0:46 nothings on the paper,no letter "A" just sayin haha maybe,its hard to see in this damn room,strange clouds

  • I <33 magic

    TMBsuperfan# ;D

  • omg HOW did he do this??? was hoping to see an EXPLANATION :(

  • inception wouldve been much easier if they had derren on the team

  • fucking wierd im from scotland, never been in london before so dont really know any roads but when he asked the question of a place in london bakers street instantly popped into my head.....

  • R & J rymes with A

  • @Lukewoodlive so do alot of things

  • @Lukewoodlive right, leaving only K as a rhyme, an unlikely pick for the first thing to come into your head. nicely done.

  • He subtly says "boot boot" watch again

  • derren brown just works with the power of suggestion it is not psychic. there was a guy on tv who is now a comedy actor who was asked to do the show that derren brown does before they got derren brown to do it. it is just subliminal words, very clever but that's all it is. and the person who is the one who gets the credit shouldn't be derren brown it should be the guy who taught him the 'tricks'.

  • @michelle88960

    What a stupid thing to say. You shouldn't get credit for something just because someone else taught you your skills? That way no one would ever get credit for anything you idiot.

    Derren is incredibly skilled and deserves full credit for the hard work he has put in to get as good as he is at this.

  • when he kept saying 'imagine' 'imagine' i thought of john lennon. i'm crap at this!

  • what...what am i supposed to see? cut off at the wrong moment Y.Y

  • @Burning0Lilac Everytime he turns back from richard towards judy, he stares for a split second at her boots, and his hand actions when he says bigger go to about the length of her boots so he focuses them more.

  • oh good lord. Right when he is about to explain how the boot things works the video cuts off :*(

  • I thought of boot!

  • Aah back In the day of jumpy screens when paused :)

  • @5teampunker Omg a remote viewer is on to me

  • Hahahaha

  • Darren Brown in part of a group of very powerful psychics. They are deceiving people into believing that psychic powers do not exist. They chose to do this rather than have an all out psychic war. This will allow them to horde all the psychic powers to control the world. Every time he deceives someone, psychic powers are released from the victim and transferred to Darren. He uses tiny powerful mind beams through his eyes to perform his psychic feats which he says are just tricks.

  • @tshmcog haha are you joking?... thats the most fucked up paranoid comment i ever did see

  • @tshmcog Yes, yes he is.

  • @tshmcog We know where you live. If you continue to reveal our secrets we will come for you. You have been warned.

  • @5teampunker You may know where we live but we know what you're thinking.

  • Comment removed

  • @tshmcog ROFL you're stoned eh hehehehehehe

  • @tshmcog With that idea you could write an awesome fantasy novel and get stinking rich!

  • @tshmcog what are you smoking bro? i want that

  • @tshmcog Wow, that's just awesome. He's an evil genious with a tv show. I love it...

  • its not "A"n r or "A" j

  • Hopefully someone who actually knows can tell me, but would I be right in thinking that the key moment in this trick is at about 0:22 and involves a gesture?

  • He is a god amongst insects

  • freaks

  • Is that link safe?

  • its fake see the person left hand and also notices the right one from which he is giving the card the one he wrote that was on his left hand

  • cough cough shoeeeeeeeee.....

  • the ironic thing is, the video says ''how to read minds'' but there's not one part in the video that actually explains ''how'' to read minds......

  • 5:46 - 5:49 Derren Say "focus on something.... now" he looks down at the girs sheos and also points to her shoes. Also at 6:03 hes say "look" and pauses and then looks at the mans shoe, i also noticed he to shows the women the back of his hand and if you pause it it looks like he drew a diagnal line with the back of his hand to his other hand. some what looks like he is guiding her vision

  • Comment removed

  • That is clever.....

  • i guessed sherlock holmes before he answered it :-O

  • Pause at 6:39. Anyone else notice his right hand, particularly the index finger.

  • @jlporter171 I don't get it

  • @jlporter171 no what did you notice?

  • @jlporter171 No what am I supposed to notice?

  • @jlporter171 It's his left hand...

  • @jlporter171 Yes and he said at 7:13´ what it was what you where thinking´ an with his lefth hand point her boots again. i wanna lern this trick sooooo bad!!!!

  • @jlporter171 wtf? what does it matter what his hand looks like? the guys doing mind tricks, not card tricks

  • @TheBluntsucker He´s pointing at her boots....

  • @jlporter171 6:47 his right index as he's snapping. And how she thinks shoes and he thinks boots which is what the eachother are wearing. Derren also makes eye contact with their shoes several times.

  • the way he holds the envelope is so unnatural

  • I thought of D. Funny though, that letter also looks like a D, magician's choice?

  • Is it weird that i was thinking of Baker Street aswell....

  • @xkoenigseggx its a coincidence, if you thought of it, then you would comment on it, but 112,000 people were thinking of something else, and therefore we don't get 112,000 people saying they were thinking of Baker Street as well

  • Comment removed

  • She could easilly have said B

  • I just drank 3,5 liters of Monster Energy Drinks in the past 5 hours and now I think I can read minds and that I am paranormal and shit , so ... what's your fucking excuse??

  • R or J rhymes or resolves to A. Also he says A letter twice very direct.

  • the newsman is not "telling him" he is telling the newsman

  • This is A letter of the alphabet, A letter of the alphabet - who needs letters explained to them? Cute trick!

  • I guess we wont see.

  • this is dog shit

  • @foradored4 Just because you can't understand something doesn't mean its dog shit.

  • Very cool

  • and when he said build an image just before he coughs with his hands he makes the shape of a shoe -then he sneezes and says shoe at 5:39 a little later he says shoe string instead of huge screen

  • also he said huge screen --like shoe string

  • the thing he did at the end- when he sort of coughed I thing he said shoe

  • I'd like him to read my mind right now :-P

  • DB is clever, in that he wants us to think he is telling us how he does it, via "auto-suggestion", but that's a red herring - he is actually a very talented conjuror.

  • pronouncing judy as "shoe"dy.

    at around 6:40, Derren looks down at the shoes of the guy... I can find more signals but i cba..

  • alot of derrens tricks are about pwa (perception without awareness) its so clever and simple yet so effective

  • It's much more simple than u are arguing about. As soon as she says the letter he delays for one second by saying 'A for Apple' ?

    During this second he uses a point under his thumbnail to write 'A' on the envelope. The envelope has tracing paper inside it. He immediately pulls his right hand away and hands her the envelope.

    If you notice the way he holds the envelope, he is using his four fingers as a solid base on which to write.

    Derron Brown is highly classy though.

  • @thecrookedman1 u dumb fuck

  • @thecrookedman1

    spot on mate - classic trick

  • @thecrookedman1 could be, but maybe he did use the power of suggestion because before he was just like.. think of A letter... so on...

  • Its an auto response command. Derren said "Think of a letter of the alphabet", the command was "Think of A". It is the same as if someone says to you "Don't think of an elephant" you automatically think of an elephant because the command "think of an elephant" is there.

  • 4:42 he looks like Simon Cowell :3

  • perception is the greatest tool a human has and most don't even know what it really is

  • He keeps looking at their shoes, and puts empathesis on works that begins with 'S' he says...

    'your going to SEND something across... pSychic ...put a big SCREEN in your head...and SLOWLY' and he pointed his arms towards their feet when he said think of an image.

    Just a theory

  • He forced her to say A with R or J, but I suspect he also wrote an A that could've looked vaguely like an B, C, D, . . . all at once.

  • @animals0feel1pain2 You blind? You didn't see the letter?

  • @20BCeltics What? Where? Give me the point in time he gives the letter

  • Has anyone actually ventured to purchase that book in the link? It seems pretty scam-ey.

  • Hes the man!

  • wow i was thinking of backer street as well while watching the video!

  • some people say derren is a devil but sometimes he does things that i literally think he is a devil

  • Richard Madeley thinks he's so cool.

  • Not that strange, ladies always think of boots.

  • "This is A letter of the Alphabet, A letter of the Alphabet"

  • the thing is people try to figure this stuff out when it would be impossible to

    its not magic or a scam its real

    he uses mind tricks to do all his stuff so i dont know why people try to figure it out

  • i picked a

  • The 'A' prediction is such a simple trick using a thumb pencil(swami). He asks what letter she was thinkin of writes it on paper using swami then hands her the paper. Reason, why write behind his back in first place? so he has reason for wonky A because it's not being easy to use a swami neatly. Why does he ask her prediction before handing over paper, because he writes it after he's told then hands her the paper. Sneeky addition using the envelope but all that takes is carbon copypaperinside

  • @charzy888 - I can see the carbon paper trick - modified thumb writer - but how did he get Baker st.???

  • @gomergilligan Not sure about that one, must be real magic!! :)

  • One thing about the A was that, with the excuse of having to write it behind his back (when for all we know it was prepared) the A was "badly" drawn, perhaps in such a way that it could also have been a "D", a "P", maybe an R, or perhaps even a U if reversed (he might claim the bar is a line to show which way up it is). Perhaps not the U. But anyway, it is possible to draw a figure that looks like more than one letter depending one which way it is presented, and to push the possible letters.

  • Oh, and by the way, I picked A, too

  • I've never seen such a strong psychology mind like Darren's....... I think he used to reading peoples mind whenever he passes by -.- LOL

  • @sizzycollette *** DERREN :)

  • I was playing Cranium recently w/ a group of friends belonging to my girlfriend. I never met any of them before. One of the challenges was for me and another guy to write down three things that came to mind when we looked at a word, and then to see if any one of the words matched with the other persons. Oddly, we matched all three with each other, and we'd never met before or anything. Does that play into stuff like this or? I seem to do stuff like that kinda routinely, and it freaks me out

  • @RyYajn If you're both looking at the same word then you're very likely to think of similar things.

  • ha! i thot of a pikachu :P

  • omg..i picked A too!!!!!

  • i would try and learn how to do this, but i'v smoked weed since i was 8 so it's near immposible

  • and as you (a shoe)... im gonna ask shoe

  • I thought of a boot as well... wth?

  • 05:23 Looking down he says "your going to send something across an image or a word" then he hits them at 05:27 with his amazing brain-implant stutter... see if you can find the words SHOE and BOO :)

  • The letter "A" was delivered into the mind of Judie at 0:17... "This is....*pause*" whats the usual phrase? "This is A..." ah ha... call me a genius, call me a monkey faced spam-gasm, but I'm right :)

  • "if you watch this tape back, and watch it second by second you will see" :|

    ...FFFUUUUU!!!

  • @mmin3s I was sad enough to do it and I think I found it out. At 5:23 when he is telling Richard what to do he says "what-i'd like you to do".....but if you listen VERY CAREFULLY he actually says "BOOT" not "what-i'd like you to do"- 5:23 check :P

  • @derrenlegendbrown good theory,youre right!

  • @mmin3s i dont get it? :/ could someone explain please

  • @mmin3s what it mean what will we see? please explain in which minutes..

  • He's using a thumb writer- thats why he says he going to write it behind his back because it looks messy. See how awkwardly he is holding the envelope, there must be someway of writing through the envelope

  • @willthemagician

    Oh, of course, an enveloped lined with carbon paper!

    We don't actually see him continuously after Judy says A, and we see him stroking the back of his neck so he may even have used a pointed instrument of some kind.

  • i think its something to do with him controlling the conversation immediate as he demands the woman not to think of R or J and the man not to think where he met the woman.

  • No matter how he does it, derren brown is amazing, he says that everything is a trick.. And some of the stuff he does even though based on some simple framework is extremely clever.. He is brilliant

  • 7:05 - 7:07 Because they certainly wasn't looking at what to put/say...

    

  • oh fucking please

  • Derren Brown - the man who uses non-mentalist tricks to fake mentalism.

    Quite clever, in an annoying sort of way.

  • Darren uses his mind tricks to pick up chicks

  • @FacingWorlds He's gay actually

  • @ollytennant ha so he is, but he is a very awesome gay !

  • why do all psychics mumble at some point?

  • A sorry

  • No it was think of  A Letter.

    King of like saying think of the letter S

  • tried doing this with my mates and one of them thought of a pen and one thought of an xbox. aint I a genius? they thought of a simillar thing!

  • As he points to where they should look (forehead), he's pointing at the opposite person's shoes with his other hand.

  • that bloke constant. 'ok' 'Yep' 'yes' 'fine' STFU Derren don't want you talking!!

  • he became gay after he readed his mind

  • @InFrondOfyou looooooooooooooooool

  • he should try and use his powers to lose his virginity...what say ye?

  • @emile235 you should use yours to don't blow every dude you see.

  • There so annoying!! Derren tries to talk but they interrupt him. Either way, incredible as always Derren :D

  • I love how pissed off Derren looks by their constant interruptions

  • its the R and J they make the A sound

  • @fulleylove14 No. He said, "This is a letter....this is a letter."

  • @fulleylove14 yeh but if u listen to her she says she thought of A before he said R and J

  • mentalism isn't NLP but simple tricks

  • special card which is impressed by the pressing of the nail on it

  • i want you to think of (A) letter...

    A SUBLIMINAL MESSAGE,

    So Obvious

  • @nikitamathilda subliminal messages are bollocks

  • Derren uses a lot more traditional conjuring techniques and props when not on his Channel 4 show (when he doesn't use his disclaimer). He has used props on stage freely available from magic suppliers, suggesting that's it's his other techniques, and mixes them in. He comes from a traditional conjuring background.

    Believe it or not, producing a scrawled prediction which has been placed in an envelope is a traditional conjuring effect, performed exactly as here, but it is a traditional trick.

  • Rickard and Jude and he says not r or j that leaves a 

  • @Hi675445  wrong

  • r a j that why it was am a

  • When he got him to send a picture to judy i thought of a bear and it ended up as boots. Close???

  • @WWEManiacs619 weird .. i thought of a bear too.. hmm #seriously

  • Part of the first trick is the aaa sound in R and Ay sound in Jay. He also says this is a letter of the A-lph-A-bet. Which it is - a common letter in the word Alphabet. He is also unconsiously telling her the answer too the question "THIS IS A.... letter of the alphabet". I picked up those clues but theres probly more :)

  • Also, When he says "Not r or j" your mind finds "ay" in "jay" and thinks "a"

  • It IS an old trick. But he is slick at suggestion and misdirection. People want to believe in the psychology so think it's his language that is subconsciously persuading her but it's not. It's simply a nib on his thumb(@.24) and as she says it he quickly writes it on the outside with carbon inside printing it. The other 2are more tricky though.

  • I thought of A and baker street

  • that was rubbish
