  • what is the point of making a dummy of his head being opened if he cannot see it?

  • There more footage I watch from Derren Browns shows, the more I begin to doubt it's true. Nethertheless, it's still bloody brilliant!

  • your show have changed my view of the human mind, thanks, it's beautiful :)

  • Derren doesn't need to use actors. The amount of shows he's done, don't you think one person would have come forward and blown it? He's not going to risk his reputation on a trick if he has to fake it.

  • That would freak me "the fuck" out.

  • cool.

  • Did you tell the guy that he was involved in this at the end?

  • @EnglandsAngelLand Never mind description tells all....

  • Oh God, all I could think of while I was watching that was "You're waiting for a train. You know where you hope it will take you..."

    Somebody get that man a spinning top pronto!

  • For the fools who are far too many to quote who think that is really his brain exposed please watch at 2:58, it was not intended to make YOU think it was real, it was intended for the subject to think he has been abducted and operated on, hence why he has a member of the public check his head for scars.

  • @peacenbkind oh and they have to tell him and put him back to normal after btw, This is just a clip that never got to be in the show so they never showed that part

  • @peacenbkind Why?

    If you apply to be on a derren brown show as a test subject or whatever what would you expect? Obviously in the terms and agreements the guy had to sign says that he allows this to happen, none of it is without permission really. Dont worry, he cant come and do this to you legally, youre safe :)

  • @peacenbkind He applied to be on the show months back like the others i think. but made him think he got rejected and wasnt part of it

  • Hi Derren,

    I suffer from really bad panic to the point where it destroys my life. I used to play semi-professional football, lead a fun and active life but when I was 19 I became obsessed with my heart after a bout of palpitations and now I'm 23 and I am too scared to exercise, I've quit playing football, I am too scared to go too far outside of my home town for fear of recurrent palpitations. Can you help me get my life back?

    Please LIKE so Derren can see this! I beg you :-(

  • @AjaxMonks You'll have better luck sending this message to Derren via his personal web page or his Facebook fan page.

  • @BrizyComics Hey, I have tried that too. It was a long shot but was worth a try huh. Thanks for the post :)

  • @AjaxMonks I'm not certainly Derren Brown but If You Truly want help. Look For Dr. Richard Bandler, he is the co-creator of Neuro-Linguistic Programming which is one of the strongest skills that Derren Brown uses to manipulate people. Now, if I tell you there is someone better than him, it would be Dr. Richard Bandler. Please, search on internet, or buy the book "Get the Life You Want" by Dr. Richard Bandler. You can bet he will fix ya

  • holy crap what type of contract do you sign for them to slice your scalp

  • At 0:47 this was filmed at the southern end of St John Street. You can see it on google maps if you search for "33 St. John Street City of London EC1M 4AY, google maps"". This is just down the road from where I work, bizarre!

  • I hope people realize the connection to the CIA mind experiments.

    they took in hookers, homeless, drug addicts etc to try medical experiments with f.ex lsd.

    or the so-called mental patients they abused and put into coma for over 60 days.

    it seems to me that derren is on a mission to explain us the reality we live under. I think its ultimately will be about the hypnotic state we go into while watching tv.

  • the girl in the 0:43 was like. Wait is Derren Brown. let get some picture with him

  • derren brown is such a g he's almost a h

  • as always- i love the music,

  • Thank fucking god they didn't really open his head up.

  • Staged or what man!

  • Derren Brown = The original Troll

  • what about the repercussions i mean knowing the world your in is just fake what i mean knowing that knowing nothing mattered knowing there is no real repercussions for your actions i mean if it were me when it finally dunned on me that its all fake i would probably kill someone to know what it felt like but without any repercussions for my actions

  • @Dimthegamer115 Well that's probably the difference between you (whose brain jumps straight to murder) and regular, non-psychopathic people. Regardless of who you "really were", and who you were being controlled to become, how do you justify the laws bending to change you? And do you really think that "I'm not actually this person, I'm being brainwashed" will be a valid defense? Would you feel that there would be no personal repercussions? Are guilt, remorse, shame not all repercussions?

  • tbh i've never been hypnotised so i have no idea if it is real or not, i dunno if that guy is an actor or not but derren brown seems quite legit. he tells us it is not being psychic but really just understanding how the human mind works

  • They must have told him. Surely?

  • Thumbs up if you scratched the top of your head to check it wasn't open after this =P

  • This, video is a example of weakness, this,

    is why I have trained myself to the the best of MY ability to resist. Acts that may be suggestive, hypnotically, to me. In a way I now have a slight paranoia about my actions and way of speaking when in conversation. But from this disadvantage comes the ability to observe and respond in a hypnotically resisting way. Though I feel that anyone, including myself, is still very suggest able if the 'hypnotist' knows what their doing. I said THE twice in th

  • inception :O

  • This is why we love Derren.

  • Mind = Blown.

  • A Clockwork Orange?

    

  • ... Aaaand this would be why I am never applying to be on a Derren Brown programme. ;D

  • @HarlequinRaven if u do, he will mentally scar u lol

  • This would shit me right up!

  • You see the woman goes up to him and says "you need to keep your head still" and it's supposed to be something he's hearing a nurse say on the opperating table

  • Derren Brown is amazing, but I don't think I'd want him getting within 50 feet of me, haha.

  • *Derren runs in front and take magazine* Man: Hey! Wait a minute, Aren't you....

    Derren: Sleep....

    Man: Naaaaw craaaap.....ZzZzZzZz

    *After some time under hypnosis and back on the street*

    Man: I think someone's opened my head...

    'That's Derren for yah!' XD

  • Derren Brown BLOWS my fucking Mind!

  • Comment removed

  • omg. his braces. this man is just perfect.

  • What a f*ckin mindf*ck... I love it.

  • is it ironic that hes wearing superdry and being brainwashed? ;)

  • 3:43

    "I think someone's opened my head. Can you close it pleez?

    "Too sorry, mate. Forgot my needle home!

    lol

  • @betaversion089 What does it matter? This is the problem with people like you nowadays. Everything has to be dissected and complained about.

    Where's your imagination? Why can't you allow yourself to be amazed?

    What Derren does is fantastic. He comes up with these fascinating situations and re enacts them on screen for entertainment.

    Why does it matter if it's real?

    Allow yourself to have an imagination, and I can assure you, your perception of the world will be blown wide open.

  • @spid3rB4t rather obvious that he uses the same old actors nothing to dissect. how can i be amazed by something that isn't even real, if i try to enjoy it then i will just be lying to myself. Just because i don't like it doesn't mean i don't have an imagination, don't try to just make up random shit.

  • @betaversion089

    Most of television is fake. Soaps, dramas, fictional movies... The majority of programmes involve actors/actresses in a situation that never really happened. So if you can't be amazed or enjoy something that isn't real, then do you mean to tell me you don't watch ANY of that stuff?

    And, with that in mind, why did you even come onto the video? Was it just to moan about it? Seems like you DO need a bit of imagination.

    I wasn't making up anything, and it certainly wasn't random.

  • @spid3rB4t I know most of TV is fake but they dont try to say that its real do they. Darren Brown says he can do this when clearly these people are actors, which was my case from the start, nothing to do with imagination??? its just people who are easily convinced that buy this shit and your one of them. you seem to associate everything with me not having an imagination, it's tv it doesn't need someone to have imagination to watch it.

  • @betaversion089 But the thing is... there is nothing clear about it. How do YOU know that these people are actors? You don't. That's why you have no imagination. Because you sit there in your arrogance and spout of these accusations that you can't back up. :L

  • @betaversion089 If you have ever even taken the time to watch one of his shows fully, you would understand that he always say ' No actors or stooges were used in the show,' you're just being bitter because you can't understand it.

  • @spid3rB4t Thank you, thank you. I wish i could scream that in every hater's face. Thank you.

  • @spid3rB4t You seem like those people who are gullible and just accept anything they are told with simple/no explanations. It's not allowing yourself to have an open mind, it's being a bit sceptical, this does not limit your imagination. This is non-fiction therefore relating it to soap/dramas as you did is irrelevant.

    Personally, I don't find watching things that claim to be non-fiction and trying to believe it's real thus deceiving myself, entertaining at all.

  • @spid3rB4t Like religion?

  • @unholyjebus What about it?

  • @spid3rB4t Can't be bothered explaining it. Just think about it.

  • @unholyjebus I don't like to assume.

  • @spid3rB4t I suppose when you assume, you make an "ass" out of "u" and "me".

  • @unholyjebus I was thinking of that saying when I said that. Haha xD

  • @spid3rB4t it is real, sorry, just sayin.

  • @vishaldeb123 I'm not saying it is, I'm not saying it isn't. The whole point in his show is that we are to be amazed by it. It achieves just that for so many people. I don't think it should matter.

  • i used toreally like derren brown the stuff he did was awsome...like the subliminal message one or the bank robbery but ever since he did that shit with the lottery all the stuff he does just scares the fuck outta me -_-

  • This is why I love Derren Brown: he takes physicology to the next level! :)

  • can someone convince this is real, ciz i think its totally fake

  • This man is taking punk'd to the next level.

  • Its funny that Derren can just go and abduct people like that

  • Are you sure thats not Matt Lucas?

  • i'd let Derren do literally anything to me, that sounds sexual, but I wouldn't mind that either, even if he is gay..

  • @betaversion089 how do you know?

  • @betaversion089 what makes you say that?

  • i think it was on channel 4 does anyone know if it is viewable on 4od yet?

  • @rainybritania097 It starts on friday at 9 on channel 4 :)

  • @PuzzledSoap oh brilliant! thank you so much i can't wait !!

  • beautiful pattern interrupt

  • Sorry... That was meant for @ribinoct76 .

  • @JAAshard ....nah not really...they applied for the show... And hey always have an independent psychologist make sure they are all good afterwards...

  • My brother still has one of those masks from seeing the show.

  • Comment removed

  • looks like a great way to fuck up someones mind and life all in the name of TV ratings.

  • cant wait for tomorrow!

  • OOOOOOOOOOOOOOH I Can't wait!

  • I can't wait.

  • This skit wasn't very entertaining.

  • All of this on Friday's episode of "Derren Brown scares the living shit out of someone then claims there's no psychological after effects"!

  • @ChocCoveredRhinos You'd think his skills in unsuggesting were equally as adequate...

  • Such a brilliant mind fuck! Love it!

  • I want to know the criteria of finding someone highly suggestible, because this may be a genetic clue to human behavior in a population.

  • @truvelocity you know this is what i find most fascinating. how suggestible r ppl? i find it interesting that he kind of talks to ppls subconscious. yet admits he is a skeptic of such things as autosuggestion. he is brilliant at what he does. we should be thankful he works for entertainment and not some religion that wants us to fight for them. at least he has a healthy sense of humour.. and is kind to his victims making sure they r deprogrammed after the show.. lol

  • @codeXenigma Derren is thoughtful about safety. I imagine that Derren's production team has hired staff that are good at screening highly suggestible people and Derren just has to do the rest; He may select the 1% out of the 10% that is the most suggestible. Thus, it explains that there is a percentage of people like that in any given population, which can cross over to cult followers. Interesting. There's so much to learn.

  • @truvelocity o i don't doubt they cover the health and safety aspects. its interesting that some ppl r more suggestible than others.. i'm pleased he shares his gifts and doesn't play the wizard of oz. i think he gets more respect for being open and sharing his research. he seems to be exploring it rather than jus playing. it makes u wonder though how suggestions work. why and such is interesting. not to exploit but to better understand the subconscious mind. i like how he shows the deprogramming

  • @codeXenigma What I find perturbing, are the few people who accuse Derren of being disingenuous when he shares how he does a trick in detail. I guess you can't win 'em all.

  • @truvelocity hahaha no like the casino trick. i watched the experiment tonight.. the trick with the pin number and shoe and wondered how much of these shows r editing magic ; )

    ahhh its healthy to wonder and question. he is after all only human

  • I'm scared now. Or, I already was, now just a little more.

  • Fake and gay.

  • I AM SO EXCITED!!!!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • I love that look on his face when he has put on the white coat. I can imagine him loving the idea of poking around in someone's head for real for a change, lol.

  • Don't you have to shave someone's head before brain surgery?

  • Was the detail in the skull cap really needed? It's not like he'd see it.

  • @Capnbritish

    Notice the mirror above his head...

  • Does anyone know how I could watch this if i'm in Canada?

  • @DNeufeld24 subscribe to the 4od channels,they put them up almost immediately after

  • @eamisagomey thank you

  • @DNeufeld24 yes, but I don't know if I want to say on here. I don't want the person that I go to getting in trouble! How would I watch it then?

  • I'm crazy excited :D again derren never fails to amaze me.

  • watch?v=u22mphQsn5s&feature=re­lated

  • watch this & WAKE UP People

    watch?v=uupPpopZ0mo&feature=re­lated

  • I wish i could do even a sliver of what Derren does...

  • derren, i have the feeling you're just the teeniest bit messed up in the head :P

  • Well bloody hell im excited now!!!!

  • HOLY CRAP FIRST EPISODE THE ASSASIN

  • Oh my god how can i watch this in the U.S?!?!!

  • I cannot wait, it has been far too long!

  • owh i see its not on yet ... DOH!

  • ummm why isnt the episode on 4od for ps3 ? what day and time was this on ?

  • @mattage991 Its on this Friday, you haven't missed it :)

  • This may be a stupid question but... What happened? All I got was that he abducted some bloke and did a fake brain op on him, he woke up half way through, they put him back to sleep,he shoves the bloke back to the same place on the street he was on before being abducted and then said bloke doesn't remember anything?

  • @NathanR38 - As someone who has been put into a 'trance' by Derren before at one of his live shows, I can believe that Tony would be just a bit dazed by what was going on around him, rather that going all ninja on them! When you 'wake up' you just feel a bit groggy and confused and it takes a couple of minutes to get back to normal and alert.

  • That seemed like acting there @ 2:41 , I'm sure if Tony wasn't he'd be going "WHAT THE F**K ARE YOU GUYS DOING TO ME? GET THE F**K OFF OF ME! I'M CALLING THE POLICE!!" *Ninja punches*. Maybe. That's just my opinion.

  • @NathanR38 He's just been completely relaxed (by Derren Brown no less), and not really told to 'wake up'...he's still in a very relaxed state / light trance which would be visible after hypnosis. Therefore a huge / alert reaction wouldn't be expected. Also, Derren's said to him tons of times as they wheeled him there "you'll be completely comfortable and safe"...at the back of his mind, however hypnotic amnesia he's been given, he can see those words effectively as a post-hypnotic suggestion.

  • @Whogopenguin Thanks for explaining that to me.

  • somebody whispers at 0:09 ! whats he saying ?

  • Comment removed

  • Derren, I have always loved your work and have the utmost respect for you. But holy shit, man--have you gone too far on this one?!

  • @BrizyComics Why? It's not like he actually operated on him. Plus Derren always makes sure that the person is fine afterwards and if he had any problems with it he wouldn't have signed the waiver to allow the footage to be used. I think this looks amazing and a very interesting experiment in to just how much we are influenced every day despite thinking we are using free will.

  • @Stump2502 I know, I am constantly amazed at the extensive precautions he takes and the very careful screening process of his contestants and volunteers. I just have so much empathy for the subjects that I cannot help but imagine what I would do in their shoes--and in this case, I suspect I would completely flip out. But rest assured, I will not miss this series.

  • @BrizyComics Check out Zombie Shooter!

  • @dubdefuje Yes, I've seen it.

  • EXCITEMENT

  • this video made me feel sick :/

  • i really thought you just took a man off the street and started operating on his brain haha
