[angelwhite]

There are no subtitles, there was no explanation...

[mekkabon]

@angelwhite there are subtitles, but they're effing hard to see.

[warchife6]

Thanks god he is an entertainer. If I was him, I would use if for pure EVIL MIND CONTROL!

[mv3x1]

@warchife6 same id say there alot of people out there who do

[grkmalaka12]

@warchife6 Given the opportunity.

[SonofRanbo]

its a scam

[shannow77]

This isn't an explanation at all. I'd suggest looking up a method used in mentalism and stage magic called "multiple reality" or "dual reality" to get a better idea of what might actually be going on here. ;)

[Sk8ronweed16]

LOL left hand up

[kidnapped]

How can the bottom floor of this mall be so more crowded then the top floor? too much people around. Some actors among them are certain.

[couturexlove1]

does the end of this video sound like twilight music or is it just me?

[bigcheesy95]

somebody made a terrible investment by paying all these actors just to not get that famous.

[Mortenen]

@bigcheesy95 Hah, you would have been the very first to raise your arm I would guess.

[bigcheesy95]

@Mortenen for 50 bucks, yeah id raise the shit out of my arm.

[Mortenen]

@bigcheesy95 No money. Just pwnd by Derren the wizard.

[natepepin09]

Part of this is exploiting some of the people who are susceptible to this. A big part is the playing it for 30 minutes. And the major part of the trick is that people will follow what everyone else is doing around them. These people aren't affected by the subliminal message, but they are affected by all the other people random raising their hand.

[PiranhaJaw22]

that's frightening. 

[jombo567]

They're all students. No normal fatties. 

[tybash]

at 1:21, he's like "I AM GOD!

[riethc]

They're all pod-people! ahhh!

[723cielo]

omg these people are sleeping in the mall

[JiggaNiggaFigga]

Man it is scary... People are so easily manipulated look --> Third Reich....

 Horror...

[Maartenn100]

When we watch this video, we all should raise our arms. Did you?

[vivace737]

this didn't really need an explanation.. .

[purpkush308]

this is qiet eay to do like u just gotta get it over them and confuse them witch there not thinking about wat there getting givin or somthing like that they try and help u wat u asked n shit and its easy but hes a profeshinal

[HalfwayHouse12a]

1:19, dude has his left arm up. Hah.

[marcuswest]

I hope Derren never gets to play the game "Lemmings"

[ryandonz]

i didnt put my hand up and i heard him talking

[AssJuicenNowa]

1. Maybe you are not open for suggestion, not every person can be hypnotized so easily...

2. (and more importantly) - You weren't prepped as the customers were... They had been listening to half an hour of NLP embedded commands and subliminal suggestions before Derren took the mic and made the final and definitate command to raise their arms... :)

[AssJuicenNowa]

Or did you mean that you were actually in the mall that day, and nothing happened...?

If so, I will refer to 1. ;)

[Guysers]

@ryandonz Ofcourse you didn't because it's in our conscious, we are watching this video knowing that something's gonna happen. If you're walking around in that mall, it only goes into your subconscious.

[Ru55ianGrim]

@ryandonz because there was a pre-recording of him talking that lasted 30 min thruout the mall dumbass.

[xzillo40]

i couldnt see the subtitles...
