Derren Brown disguised as clown

[CrutialProductions]

holy shit that was creepy.. imagine if a clown that looked like this with a black balloon just came up to you and said some type of horrible memory you never wanted to relive. Americans would think he is a Terrorist

[lycheesack]

What series is this from?

[putaspekpek]

he lloks like the IT clown

[LemonNation]

I honestly didn't recognize this as Derren at first. I thought they had found another person that was good at cold reading to do it.

[skywize]

Brown makes one baddass clown!... oddly familiar too... When he looks forward and his head is down, he looks like someone else... An actor in a film or show... British.

[kawadamark]

classic cold reading in the end. still, derren is amazing

[Guilmon470]

........ If I were the first lady I would've been horrified. XD

[philbio66]

does anyone know how he did this. this not like the cold readings that psychics do.

[willC801]

@philbio66

first he stalks them, then he finds them, then he films them.

[philbio66]

@willC801

what do you mean by stalk?

[LemonNation]

@philbio66 Are you sure you want to know how it's done? It makes the whole thing much less entertaining to figure out the "trick."

[philbio66]

@LemonNation

well....

[LemonNation]

@philbio66 Basically Derren is just using a variant of cold reading. He starts off much like your typical cold reader by saying ambiguous things and reading the reaction of the target to get more specific. But then he gets much more specific and makes seemingly impossible deductions. All he is doing here is confident guesswork. There are probably a hundred people he has tried this on (or more) and he simply selected the best reads from the lot. Those he "misread" he simply does not show you.

[philbio66]

@LemonNation

I understand how the cold read works and I understood how it worked for the guy. the questions were very ambiguous and there are many children who had traumatic childhood experiences in water. the woman however, didn't really give him anymore info other than answering yes. he had to have some other knowledge about women's bedrooms in order to get every question right.

[LemonNation]

"Pale wooden blinds and floors" is very ambiguous. What is "pale?" That could be a light brown, white, almost anything that isn't DARK which most floors and blinds are not. Plus, most blinds are wooden, as are many floors. The room color was a lucky guess, the two mirrors was an easy one for a girl's room, as were the black and white photos. Having so many guesses receive a positive hit immediately makes the effect more impressive, but in reality it is a combination of luck and ambiguity.

[philbio66]

@LemonNation

OK. I agree with your analogy. 

[tubofbologna]

@philbio66 : do you understand how to type in english? lol

[warsilver99]

lmao, I love this!

[Krejtaz]

Well, not the kind of person I would like to meet in a dark alley at night, telling you about accidents in your childhood...

[wederwoord]

Derren Brown is a scarry man :O

[mikedamat]

"I'm so scared I think this guy is going to kill me, maybe if I just say yes to everything he says he won't hurt me."

[wlasti]

3 LUB WIĘCEJ KAMER - niestety już to zdradza, że materiał jest przygotowywany wcześniej - również i aktorzy... czego się nie robi dla kasy...

[PoseidonKross2009]

I so feel sorry for the woman. lol! Derren just creeped the shit out of her

[dontsleepwithmywife1]

there is no tricks involed in this is just a stalker

[TheUsedMagician]

10 people have an ethnic throw on their white bed clothes

[Zantaer]

This is classic cold reading

[IDoNotBlameYou]

Love Derren, but he's eerie as hell with that languid shuffle and the black balloon just dragging behind him. Long black slits over eyes that don't appear to be there. JEEZ!!

[mouthyweasel]

When you're by a dude dressed like that in town called Crotch End, London.... it's time to run for the hills.

[tb049]

i never knew Derren stalked people... should be arrested

[djab2]

After watching this, I now hate clowns even more... x)

[9up246]

So long! HAHAAA!

holy shit that's so funny and scary

[drgnba07]

if i saw him on the street i whould sh!t in my pant s!!!!

[Hopeful71]

A lot of Derren's stuff defies my imagination but these street predictions are actually quiet simple. Stake out an area or a person that you have information about and then "randomly" approach them on film. Might takes some time, but with the power of editing it will seem amazing.

[Borisas88]

@Hopeful71 Yes, this seems like the rather simple solution for tricks like theese, however, I think Derren Brown is quite above those cheap tricks. Then again, maybe I'm just naive

[Amphibiot]

I don't have caulrophobia, ie. fear of clowns.

But that's the scariest clown i have ever seen.

[GingerNutter]

"So long HAHA!!" that just cracked me up.

[1dplover]

That is so freakin scary...I need to stop laughing XD

[cekinxxx]

soo looong... hahaha

[rotgertesla]

I'm not an expert at those things, but from what I understand from other video, he his making them say yes and he is saying pretty much anything (true or not)

[epit0me]

@rotgertesla it's called cold reading

[haunter90]

@rotgertesla not true :) he is generalising and checking certain responses the person is giving him , after that he's moving to more specific questions/affirmations :)

[Shuffleboy34]

freaky.. .__.

[karlkarlkarl1234]

That is one freaky clown, if he came near me I would run.

[123456Slick]

Clowns.... I HATE Clowns!

[mrsnoogle]

the first one he could have easily gotten his 'helpers' to look in the girls window while she was away. The second had veerrryyyy broad open ended situations. "Running away from something?" ummm..... no! "grass?" umm.... no! "water".....yes! one out of three isnt that good. next up, "Dad?" ummmm.... no! "brother?"....yes! thats less then a %50 hit rate overall!!

[WARPALORPA]

@mrsnoogle actually he was with his dad not his brother

[mauri33234]

Derren Clown xD

[MrJhasseL]

First chick was mad hot

[doctamic]

i think the comments was funnier then the clip, i gatta buy this guys videos

[Bobstew68]

This is Derren Brown? o.o I could never have expected him to say something like that "so long, HAHAHA!" at the end, nor walk like that.

[Leadman1989]

LOVE this the music makes it complete XD

[MeandmagiC]

lol at what the guys says at the end.....

"fucking hell"

[uncreativeranter]

they were set up pranks by friends you idiots!

[howlerkos]

@uncreativeranter

It was cold reading and generics. Lots of people have bad experiences with water when young.

I know. I have someone like that as a boyfriend, and hes a loser and studies it. xD butilovehimlul

[Bardock772]

this mixed with heath ledgers joker would be epic win (already was epic win)

[Unguidedone]

that black balloon that is dragging behind him really makes darren seem like a crazy clown lololol

[zeyn10]

I would be scared shitless if I was the girl...

[DevilsPicturebook]

The new Charlie Chaplin!

[djmindtwister]

hahahaha :D Genius !

[Bulletpierce]

I know this trick, for the girl he says she has purple walls and probaly in london purple is a popular color for girls and dont people usually have mirrors in there room and sleep on their sides?. and as for the other guy, a lot of people nearly drowned when they were kids an ran into a lot of trouble

[Leadman1989]

@Bulletpierce

that's the point it's called cold reading he throws out facts and reads their reactions... notice how he said brother but it was dad and no one noticed

also he said.... grass? so if it wasn't he would have flipped it

[YuneShik]

derren brown looks like an epic iconic figure in this. kindof like how the joker is, but not quite in that way.

[naibafp]

first one: NLP drive by...

[elelegido877]

Muybuenosu personaje, y el trabajo ke realizo pra ello

[CyberOxinc]

your know the first women was like STALKER!

[Serpent257]

Most people have experienced childhood trauma with water.

I have a feeling.

When you were younger, you tried to learn to play a musical instrument, but you gave it up. That was when you wore your hair longer and when that friend from school died. Your house number has a "2" in it. Many people give lip service to the idea of true love, but you really believe in true love. Love is stronger than death, yes? You don't quite understand what that means, but you know that it's true, yes?

[Snyzeru]

@Serpent257 no

FAIL

[maplesyrupgl]

@Serpent257 No. My hair was shorter when I was younger, none of my friends from school died and true love is utter bullshit.

[Bobstew68]

@Serpent257 I never gave up my musical instrument (and never played one I gave up later), my hair wasn't longer back then, no friend from school has ever died, we don't have house numbers and I'm above average skeptical about true love. This is all honest and straightforward, I'm not twisting anything to make you seem more wrong. My point is, even if there were a few hits in there, the odds they'd all be right are very small.

[hypnotisedbabe]

Love Derren, but the clown get-up scares the CRAP out of me. I think I would piss myself if I saw a clown on the street and they started telling me what my bedroom looked like...

[tebe2k]

The guy does not need to be in on this at all. It wouldn't be hard for any good magician to replicate these. Derren is much better than all of them though!

[penspinner]

I admit that Derren Brown is a genius but im kinda skeptical on the second guy . I think that he may be in on this . Notice how at 1:47 how he gives a quick glace at the camera then immediately shifts his eyes away ? Im just saying . . .

[Houstnou]

The way Derren proves that the supernatural or superpowers don't exist in his shows is great, he uses the same techniques that those who claim to have superpowers and does it better. This in my opinion is even more mindblowing than actually having supernatural powers since it then would be easy to use them. The level of how he mastered psychology, cold reading, suggestion is out of this world but then again not really out of this world. Respect.

[YourEveryDayJackAss]

Wow, I actually think Derren looks somewhat badass with the clown get up

[izaatmusic]

wow.. can make a really good movie out of this.. a hypnotizing serial killer clown

[jimole226]

did anyone else hear him say fucking hell at 3:00

[DJFiscus]

Next up ladies and gentleman, Derren Clown! er, Brown.

[FrozenCoils]

@DJFiscus

XD

[emielfvisser]

Derren slept with the blonde girl, and was a classmate of the guy with the black hair.

Or he is psychic ;)

[SaviourSole]

@emielfvisser

I think you got that backward... ;D

[Cosmicalex13]

This would make for a good movie plot. Kinda IT like but withh more meaning.

[gb389]

dude, derren brown could totally be a comic book super villain,

[caviper1]

Derren Brown is IT

[Elegia3000]

Can anyone explain how he gets this information?

[thaluszka1]

Freaky clown prank

[Nestordv88]

i bet shes gonna buy a gun thinking this foos been stocking hahaah

[jonashaglund]

@Nestordv88 Like a christmas stocking?

[skippydave83]

holy crap he looks like pennywise, i freakin hate clowns. so scary. btw, yes ALL psychics are full of shit. I give respect for ppl being smart enough to cold read but all that respect is removed by them fooling idiots into believing its real

[OriginMSD]

Cold reading = epic clown pwnage.

[TheSpoonFedFukWit]

So Long!!! Ahah.

[JUANCHITO007]

ESO ES MENTIRA

[crzyyak]

[aJDfMDl]

[flameknight7]

[Zato1chi]

[ukijhu97]

@Zato1chi lol no shit

[Chris3836]

He opens the lock to your mind opens the door. see's memories flying around your mind and reaches out for one, grabs it tight and tells you your past.

[snowstorm9091moua]

Clowns are funny

[jahabdank]

I would not call it fake. It is cold reading mastery. I wish I could do it as well as he does ;-)

[funkykiwi2309]

I may have returned to stab that clown before he came through my bedroom again and ate my brains

[Lateralus03]

This strikes pure, genuine terror in the deepest depths of my heart.

[catstalker1]

Fake Fake Fake,  Cold readings

[jahabdank]

@catstalker1 well - it is not fake, it is a beautifully used skill - but true - cold reading. It is aspecially visible with the second person.

[shabalabarubaduckied]

[JOsheeTalks]

LMFAO!!!!! the end

[southsydney]

[Wyzenhu]

[krenoime2]

[dycarbon1]

holy crap derren is creepy as a clown!

[serratop]

if they are not actors, he must have got some information from friends and he knew how to find them. we did do that with ppl, it is very funny

[RedEyesAndAKillaHigh]

[BRILUVZANTHONY]

@RedEyesAndAKillaHigh hahahahahahahahah!

[Riyun72]

Now that woman thinks she has a stalking clown.

[fknugly222]

He's a voyeur.

[trouserskittensol]

I freakin love his balloon XD so sad

[1212625bear]

Maybe all the people said yes to make him go away...

[faiz434]

LOL the guy wanted to shake his hands but instead he say  "SO LONG" LOL

[astrangeone]

Scary! I'd shit myself if someone stopped me doing that type of "cold reading" to me.

[dannorange]

EMO THE CLOWN!!!!! RUN

[TriplePalindromous]

"SO LONG! HAHAHA!"

that was frikken creepy.

[stretchedcanvas]

How creepy would that be!!

[Royerskater1015]

Lol I love it how the black balloon just dangles on the floor...

[iscaredu]

me too lol it makes it look more creepy lol

[Soukougnan]

/cries

i hate clowns so much. if he'd tried to chat with me dressed like that, i'd just start screaming.

[VerifyVolatile]

This freaked me the fuck out.

[stageillusionist]

SO LONG!!! <3 hahaha

[Meixafuhellzman2]

SO LONG, HAHAHA!!

hahahaha

[deadhorseman]

lol. Those people were in on it obviously

[hikaruuiokai03]

freakn scary!! so long!

[thestash16]

this is very common with "psychics" some "readings" are "good" and more "accurate" than others, because the demons they communicate with only have a limited knowledge about certain people.

[hossrex]

Or... it was fake.

Either way.

[Royerskater1015]

NLP is a science...it can be proven that he used the power of suggestion to misguide her....but it only works for a short period of time, hence "so long.."

[hossrex]

Do some research on Occam's Razor before you start throwing science around.

It's television.

Are you in the practice of believing everything you see on television just because the person on the television told you to believe him? If he's using Neuro Linguistic Programming on anyone, it's the audience, so they'll suspend the OBVIOUS disbelief that SHOULD accompany the viewing of material like this.

If David Copperfield did this, would you believe him?

Whats the difference?

[Royerskater1015]

Actually I don't believe everything he tells me...most of the tricks he uses on his series' don't work on me because of my attention to detail on EVERYTHING (language, tone, and body language). This is why hypnotism would never work on me. Trust me, I question everything. Even my own government and existence. Btw will do research, I've heard that term before but never really pushed myself to find out...

[TupacX2Pak]

Well this is kinda a stupid comment. "I question everything."...."Never really pushed myself to find out..."

Thats some nice logic you have there. By the way, who dosn't question the government?

[Royerskater1015]

idk...but rite now im even questioning your existence......lets just say im a schizoid schizotypal person...

[jdawg4294]

Republicans, when their in power.............

[smaakaker]

"Trust me, I question everything. Even my own government and existence."

Congratulations!!! Youre like MOST OTHERS!!!!

[Royerskater1015]

Would of been funnier if you said i was human...

[Remagoen]

Your attention to detail can be manipulated against you, you know.

[F1dgets]

SO LONG HAHAH!!

[zachzachasdasd]

wow it's barack obama in london!

[stupidguyaabbcc]

he almost looks like the clown from "It"

[kvstreet]

i love the end the man's face priceless

[IzPrez]

scary! if someone draws a picture of this and its legit... PLEASE send it to me. PLEASE PLEASE i want a pic of this creepy clown (cartoon version)!!! please thanx?

[naturalhigh527]

[Dimi000]
