    Lol its a joke.

  • Derren Brown is a mutant called Mesmero :P

  • i seen this!!!!!!!!!!! haha some bits are well funni lol xox

  • WTF... an add!! Really!.. wtf!

  • Do Governments use autosuggestion to influence?

    Would, for instance a middle-class, privately educated leader with strong religious (and therefore supernatural) beliefs be an easy subject? Perhaps by an ittinerant world power wanting to go into a dubious war for instance? Just a thought - well if it's that easy?

  • i actually had quite a weird responce, i'm a guy and going through my teenage years and hadn't cried for about 4 years. and watching that,

    afterwards i cried my eyes out when it flashed and all the clearing tones

    and i couldn't stop, was a scary experience, didn't stick me though

  • Clues in the title guys!.. It should read 'How to Con the Nation' . As it's all part and parcel of several programmes transmitted by channel 4 over the past decade that have been fake (for example, remember Space Cadets anyone?...and there's more...). I think Channel 4 have been inspired in part by BBC 1's Ghostwatch programme from 1992. I think they have made it their mission to create some 'fake' programmes and see just how easy it is for the media to con large members of the public!

  • @harryhillstvfart its not just large members of the public who were conned, i sort of believed it too - and i think of myself as small for my age, and average weight.

  • I just find it hilarious that people are getting so uppity about it. I got stuck, it was fun. The end.

  • im scrd im on the website lol

  • wow you guys write some long arse dumb comments please fuck off to some loner club please and not here. i think hes fit lol.

  • i neva got stuck!!!

  • why do people need to find reasurance that there isnt something out there in the human mind that can control another human, fear? i think so. u really think derren brown would predict the lottery numbers on the 3 second delay from sky tv to normal tv.. i think hes a bit more intelligent than that.. the whole nation is watching that.. and him knowing how fantastic the human brain is, he would know that people would figure this out straight away. he knows where not stupid..so he wouldnt do that!

  • No, what's stupid is observing something that seems inexplicable and then ruling out the simplest explanation. In the lottery case, the simple explanation is: camera trick. For sure? No, but FAR more probable than anything knowing the numbers before the draw.

    But his followers rule trickery out because if it were true, it would not impress them, and they want to be impressed, because they want to believe all the babble about the unexplored potential of the human mind, etc.

  • Brown's genius is in his uncanny ability to play on these desires and convince his audience that they're in on some secret, when in fact all he does are cheap magic tricks.

    Why do so many people buy it? Because it's so much more appealing to think that a human COULD memorise a dictionary, or COULD beat a casino every time, etc.. It's a much more powerful mental image than smoke and mirrors. Good on him for capitalising on that, but I do grow sick of hearing about it. It's not THAT incredible.

  • I remember seeing him beat a Blackjack table, for example. He claimed he was counting cards and that's how he did it. And people believe him.

    But counting cards only gives you a slight edge - it only pays off in the very long run. Plus he spiced it up with a lot of bullshit, too. Like, at one point he had 11 against a 5 and he tried to play it like doubling was somehow a very risky thing to do. But you ALWAYS double on 11 against 5, that's just basic Blackjack strategy.

    Such a twat sometimes.

  • @nickietreacle ah, but that is most likely what he wants you to think, you have ruled that out as an explanation in your mind, that's how it works.

  • he reiterates over and over again that he uses no secret psychological power and he frequently calls himself a con man.

  • sucky sucky. dee dee no !!!!!

  • hes amazing! he can "predict" the lotery by sayin what the numbers are just after they were on telly!

  • Yes u know what - I can't blame you for saying that. Ever since the Lottery trick, using nothing more than a camera trick. I feel every show I watch is a con.

    That's why I liked him, the things he did I thought there was a technique he used in psychology but now I can't help thinking, ahh he has payed them to do that.

  • isis117 learn to spell

  • hes a money stealing arsehole makes you call in to the show and steals your money its accutly balls. who ever claims they have gotten stcuk has a weak mind and is influence by bull shit easly

  • you only got stuck if you watched the adverts because he rigged the ads with hundreds of subliminal messages

  • You only got stuck if you beleived that it would happen :P It was sugegstion - placebo ^.^

  • i didnt get stuck and i watched the adverts and the whole twice and still nothing but yea there was subliminal messaging

  • ur a n idiot

  • isis117 :~ well it's an easy way to get money isn't it lol. DB is a genius!!

  • Its the premium rate phone company which is set up by Channel 4 or the Company that makes the show, not Derren.

  • did'nt get stuck ;(

  • This didn't work for me :L

  • my grandmother watched it and stuck to her chair, then the cooking in the kitches set the house on fire and she couldt move, needless to say she burned alive...thanks derren!

  • idiot! that is so not true

  • Derren Brown will take over the world. Soon Obama will be making cups of tea for him Gordon Brown will be wiping his arse.

  • LOL

  • LOL

  • @kingofthekop0151 ROFLMAO !!!

  • i didnt get stuck to my chair =]

  • shiiiiiiiit am still stuk to my sofa i got shit to do

  • Sue him! I can't go to work because Derren Brown glued my arse to my chair!

  • cmon Derren its out of order this, a jokes a jokes ive been stuk here long enuf now.

  • True.

  • no , sorry , i dont like him. i think its becos he smug, big headed knob. he is good though, some of his tricks are very blaine like. ive changed my mind , i quite like him. no changed my mind again, i hate him the smug git. i think hes playing with me head. aaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrggggggg.

  • i got fckin scared wen i got stuck on the chair and couldnt get up but it was fckin siik

  • which episode is it pls is it this one?

  • I used to love derren but these last few shows have been rubbish. I keep expecting him to get to the last show and then you find out it was all part of some massive really clever trick like in his live show. I cant believe hes being so boring. it just aint him.

  • Lol anyway its was so so fake i was actully about to cry with laughter it was so funny when me and my family and friends were in the living room doing it =] still i like watching it its a laugh

  • The whole thing was fake. I don't know anyone it worked on, and twice through the program were subliminal messages, after he said they weren't.

    What is this guy on?

  • Thats the point, my good man LOL

    I saw them it was a guy sitting on a chair being roped.

    I was terrfied

    and then i got glued.

    Im like -.-

  • When Derren said to the girl Giraffe, she touched her ear.

  • His programmes are really confusing but its cool anyway I still watch it every week.

  • he is boring

  • he did kinda control all who watched it even if we didnt get stuck to our seats. he got us trying

  • haha, maybe that was his trick :) He literally had the whole nation glued to their seats for 1 minute while they watched that video

  • BRAINWASH

  • word up

  • what a pile of fucking horse shit

  • I cant believe that this worked on me i was completly stuck to my sofa

  • i done this but i just went realli dizzy tho

  • me & my bf done it TWICE! it worked BOTH times!

  • i mist it :(

  • but its not on 4 od anymore is it ??

  • yeah, it still is on 4OD

  • NLP

  • i tried it, waste of time

  • :::Sighs::: I wish I hadnt been sat on my fridge when I watched this...

  • lol, what are you talking about, now you can survive eating food, the rest of us are doomed to a slow death watching bad quality tv shows and movies

  • I saw this on TV

  • It worked - amazing. I was literally glued to my chair...how the hell did he do that!!!!

    Ks

  • i missed it :(

  • shit....am stuck to ma seat

  • the whole point of this was not to make you stick to your seat, but to convince you to do it to yourself. if you don't belive it will work, then it won't. you had to be able to convince yourself that you would stick so you make yourself do it

  • Exactly. Its like when you have to get up for work in the morning. You just lie there knowing that you need to get up but your brain just keeps you there. you toy with yourself as to how long you can stay there.

    Im sure theres some fancy name for it.

  • yep its a well known psychological relaxation technique the video was almost not necessary as this can be down by talkin alone. the brain releases a signal what is known as alpha waves extremely similar to those released during deep sleep

  • Ye thats the sort of technical side of what I was trying to say lol. The mind certainly is very interesting, would love to have a job studying it.

  • yea the brain releases much more stronger alpha waves during deep sleep to keep the body paralysed so that u dont injury yourself during sleep. uses a signal instead of chemical paralysis coz it can be turned of eaier and quicker so u can get up fast say if u are attacked during sleep or somethin. can go wrong in some people resulting in known as sleep paralysis. sounds interestin but believe me when u gotta write a thousands of word on it in essay it sucks lol

  • It makes me laugh when people complain about people hating on videos, asking why you watch them if you dont like them. On that bases why would anyone watch documentaries on the holocaust, 9/11, or Derren Brown control the nation?

  • lololololol i watched this and i stood up and was like "well he fucked that up" and i went and took a piss...

  • Well making some people get up and take a piss was a sideeffect he mentioned - so you were part of group B.

  • Can i just ask you all why you clicked on this video if you hate him?

  • Im waiting for the episode where he disappears up his own arse, fucking cunt.

  • good point there sambo

    i haven't watched it (the show)and honestly don't intend to - the only thing that pushes me is my curiosity but i'd rather stay away from shit like this - it stinks.

  • Biggest cunt in the universe

  • You people are fools, for ANYONE who watched his show did exactly as he wanted, control the nation simply by watching, did you really think you would be stuck, did you really think he was playing a trick the agenda was to get as many 'views'.

    All those who watched his show are easily puppets capable of being manipulated in anyway, enjoy your pointless pitiful life as a statistic :P idiots,..

    Same methods used by governments and elites.

  • you really are fucking retarded. it worked on two people who i was with, including one as cynnical as you

  • again, puppets who watched the show, already added to his winnings zzz, guess you are the retarded one.

    Go back to being a sheep, I have an agenda to complete and could not have done it without blind insects like you or your cynical boyfriend

  • shut the fuck up, Your not more important then anyone else here. Realise it.

  • Actually I am far greater than any of you pitiful pointless humans, perhaps you should realise what and who is controlling you, face it you and many others are pawns in the elites master plans.

    Now run along on your benefits or 'freedom' you call work ;), there is much that needs to be done which cannot be done without your indirect slavery to continue.

  • says the little girl whos favourite video is 'fat cat sits and watches TV'. Genius!

  • wow, the way you talk sounds a great deal like myself.

  • ermm cool I guess XD

  • Fail

  • wow. I would have thought people like you would have died out over the years...

  • in a way he did control us by not by gluing us to the seats but by getting us to stand up without us telling us to

  • Comment removed

  • CON MAN

  • it almost worked on me if that line thing played for longer but it didnt

  • This guy is a cunt.

  • ha ha you stole my comment. His voice just makes me want to punch him (and im not even vioent)

  • i watched it all but nothingg happend to me (N):(

  • Where did you watch it though, on your sofa? :p

    Stay there for however long it was excluding any ads C4 may have put on?

  • Open your minds  (",)

  • people were "glued" because of something called demand characteristics

  • The last one didn't work on me but I'm gonna tune in to the next one - its something completely different and new to anything else on tv

  • I get really pissed at people who say this is 'fake' or that they can 'debunk' his work. He's a magician, of course its all trickery that's the point. The fact he can put on amazing illusions enables the audience to gaze in wonder and ask themselves how the heck he did it.

  • I agree, but he's still full of shit, anyway. Even though he is good.

  • The guy is a magician!

    he act serious because that's how he rolls man.

  • This is all a load of made up crap. Live audience... That's a lie. They probably pay them to tell everyone it is live and they just set things up. You can't really control the nation. If you are led into believing it, that is your fault. Oh no, I can't get up. Try standing up, it worked for my entire family of 8.

  • I got stuck =P

  • He managed to get about 4 million people to all stand up at the same time without directly telling them to. I'd call that "controlling the nation".

  • lol, yeah that's true.

  • My boyfriend did this three times, and it worked, in fact, worked too well as he didn't respond to the commands that were played after the video and i ended up having to talk to him and tell him to relax etc. So creepy... we were all pretty drunk at the time and we were just saying nonsense at him and he was convinced he managed to talk back but all he was doing was clicking his teeth at us, he didn't even blink his eyes....

  • me and 5 other people were watching this, so we sat down and wathced, did exactly as he said and then bahahaha lmao got the fuck up and turned over the channel, what a load of shizzer.

  • maybe if ur not aware then it works

  • same here but worked for 2 of my mates

  • while watching this i just burst out laughing started laughing so much i was crying i found it soooo funny and after i was laughing thinking about the spinning lines for about 20 mins but now im fine i didnt watch the live show i recorded it :)

  • he snorts coke

  • This never worked on me, but perhaps it was because i watched it in fear, the wavy lines really creeped me out.

  • i just spunked in a giraffes eye socket....wooops

  • worked on a friend of mine, saw it but no one else i knew

  • Dude it didnt work on anyone xD

  • yeah people because if you watched it on TV derren brown specifically said that this hynotism will NOT WORK on a lower resolution, 'which means it cannot work on video-sharing websites.' his very own words. so it won't work on the internet, sorry guys. just watch it on friday again and there'll be another one on.

  • what if you had a high def computer screen, u know the ones u can watch movies on

  • It's on again on friday?

    yay

  • i really wanted it to work on me but it didnt :(:(

  • Derren Brownies how to control the idiots..and the dumb blonds who need no one to control them..prepare to be an idiot and follow a command like a stupid masochist obidient slave

  • it only works on the tv as derren brown said it doesn't work if you watch it over the internet..

  • When i tryed it i got up... but my brother didn't :P i just kept punching him and he couldn't get me :D lmao

  • looool

  • search N.L.P... that's how he does it, well sort of

  • didnt work on me! I wished it did...but i think its all made up!

  • Exactly it honestly didn't work

  • It didn't work on me I really wanted it to work but only my hands stuck and when I stood up it made my hands move again

  • hey guys i...... i can't get up help! xD

  • He definetly does not "read minds" but rather puts suggestions into peoples minds.

    Example:

    He asked a women to draw something on a page "just let a few ideas SAIL into your mind" low and behold she drew a boat and derren guessed correctly.

    now, thats hardly deep psychology is it?

  • he got the result he wanted so stfu his a master :) you couldnt do it

  • I never claimed i could do anything, i was just demonstrating to someone that derrens techniques aren't necessarily as sophisticated as he makes them out to be on his show. Derren even admits this himself, im not saying it to debunk his work. The program was once under the science section on the c4 listings, and derren had it removed and put under entertainment. I'm actually a big fan of derren, i have his books and his DVD's, so your attempt at insulting me was really infutille and unecessary.

  • Well it worked on me. I was amazed. Mind you, it didnt help having my fat dog of a girlfriend sat on my lap.

  • My friends dad was gonna ring up and say he was stuck and a man broke into his house and is now stealing his stuff

    Fucking wish he was put through to the phone calls lol

  • lol broke into his house, thats daylight robbery, unlucky

  • 9/10

  • He cant read peoples minds by their eyes, thats impossible. Its just a magic trick dressed up as deep psychology.

  • A magic trick? Care to explain what you mean by that? Anyway, if you watch, you can see people's eyelashes flicker, he probably checks there eye lashes and how much they flicker and determines from that. I don't know, it's just an educated guess.

  • How can you determin whats on a persons mind by how many times their eyeflashes flicker? so if theyre thinking of a bunny rabbit they flicker 3 times and if theyre thinking of a horse 5 times?

    Come on, thats not educated guess.Whatever derrens explantions he has for doing these tricks on the show are absolute bullsht. Even derren says so himself in his book.

    Ifyou knew really how he did those things you would be really disappointed, because most of it is just well known magic trcks.

  • No, as in emotions. Example: Thinking of a fierce Tiger or Lion then there will be loads of flickering, thinking of a cute bunny rabbit or kitty then less flickering. That was my educated guess, anyway, how do you except how he 'reads peoples minds', Sherlock?

  • you can actually tell what/how people are thinking by the direction of eyes, it is part of NLP, however you coudln't read minds from it.

  • It worked on me!!

    I also had a tiny poo and urinated...

    I now have an erection and a side parting?

    The other people around me spontaneously combusted? The music that was played during the hypnotic film is now telling me that I have to bake scones and watch the Titanic film? I have also become dependant on cotton wool and farm machinery pictures..

    All in all a weird experience

    cheers DAZ

  • OMG r u dumm he clearly says that it wont work on the WAIST OF TIME downloading it to youtube in the first place !!! Gods Sake

  • Yes.

  • I got up and shouted " HA TAKE THAT DERREN BROWN YOU MUG"

  • Worked for me, i was really scared!

  • i couldn't move but then i realised my son had been using the superglue lol

  • it didn't work for anyone in my family but i didn't sacrifice anything lik
