  • 6:55 :)) ♥

  • who is this joker?

  • Derren doesn't actually use hypnosis at all on Robbie. It's actually a trick that magicains usually do to themselves. The liquid that Derren rubben on Robbies arms was actually a type of rubbery cement. So all Derren has to do is put the needle against his arms and pinch the skin over the needles. As for the blood, that is contained in the black ball on the end of the needles.

  • wtf!?!?!

  • Damn! I thought this was Robin Williams.

  • poor robbie :( i hate it :(

  • Derren Brown is the best celebrity, he shows that we're all just humans!!

  • What the fuck was the point of this?

  • @chaos850 to show how easily you get brainwashed just by listening to music, watching music videos and movies, as well as hearing nursery rhymes as a child and even getting abused

  • cool presentation :) but hypnosis is not needed in this trick

  • Easily faked false skin

  • @jeansandluck if youve seen all his other work you would know thats not true

  • .....Derren Brown is a Psycho!!!

  • i know this trick

    

  • Very clever of Derren Brown, I must say. You might not get what this "stunt" means, but just the thought of the whole routine being real, even to the Robbie WIlliams himself, is the start of the trick.

  • wouldnt that be bleeding alot more? just alittle weird

  • This is a classic magic trick. The measked magician explained how it is done (can find in on YT). The needle doesn't even go into his skin. and the fake blood is at the bottom of the needle - see how he squeezes it to get it out, there's a tiny hole in the middle of the needle. As i said if you don't believe me search on YT.

  • this looks like a frankenstein movie...

  • aaahah!! aaaahh!! aaaah!!! sooooo squeeeemish!!!! eeeee!!!! Now I feel super queezy too!

  • I don't think he's using hypnosis, although that's probably what Derren Brown wants you to believe. I believe this is a trick done with skin folding, so it looks like the needle penetrates the skin but it never does. Derren probably keeps the skin folded by a powerful and quick adhesive. He makes Robbie sing the nursery rhyme to keep his mind distracted (form of misdirection).

  • no you dumb twats. he put a strong anestezsy on his arms as well as on the needles to completely numb his skin and the muscles as the needle goes in. kinda like a mosquetoes venom when they drink our blood. there venom numbs us comlpetely. assholes

  • oh, the silly people.

    it is not a magic trick, no camera trick etc. It's hypnotism. The needle did go through his arm.Very simple and with a very natural explanation. It is like anestezsy, his brain was hypnotized not to receive the signals the would have "made" it feel and register the pain.

    And no, there was nothing sexual about it there, unless you are a (weird) girl or a gay (even if you won't admit it) or bisexual guy...

    Btw, he really can't sing!

  • don't mislead the people. derren is using simple "skin cement" and he just temporarily bonded robbie's skin together around the needle so it appears it punctured the skin. it didn't. do a little search on it and watch how derren even "glues" it together, watch it carefully.

    i'm a big DB fan but let's not overexaggerate.

  • you are so wrong, i know a man, he can do the same thing, and im teling you its real, he can actually convince himself that he doesnt feel parts of his body, also uses temperature changes in those parts, here he just used hipnotic effect to make it easier for Robbie

  • right. derren is actually a time traveler and he's got magical powers.

    derren would actually laugh at the likes of you...he's brilliant and he'd have a great laugh if he heard you.

  • theres no magic, its a mind trick

  • you are correct!

  • it didn't go through his arms for fucks sake....just go and watch more of derren's stuff and google that needle arm cement trick and see for yourself.

    why do people insist on "magic"? what the hell...

  • isnt Derren ...you know..."go both ways" ????

  • you are wrong!

  • This was an illusion. It's a good one, it's been around for a long time.

  • Anybody else is feeling a slight sexual tension? :D

  • Sure, this whole scene clearly has homoerotic undertones: Derren is "crucifying" him. Indeed Robbie consciously makes it even more obvious with his end remark: "Perhaps Derren could come on tour with me and insert them." I'm sure he would like to.

  • hahahahaha 6:59

  • robbie williams I love You forever

  • Oh I dunno, seemed pretty entertaining to me.

    And ah yes, I think most of us with a brain realize it's a magic trick. (And we know the magician doesn't really cut the woman in half too!)

  • Hate to bust him on this one... but this is nothing more than an old magic trick dressed up... He uses misdirection, not so much of Robbie (who's not in on it) but of the watcher. I won't spoil the trick direct message me an i will give you proof.

    If he was putting it straight through he would not have needed the camera not to 'fly by' and would have shown the shot of the needle going through.

    He is still very talented, entertaining smart and clever man.

  • creepy

  • hes a lil scary i think O.o

  • fuck that would hurt

  • love that Robbie....

  • You people question how Darren can hypnotize people so they can't feel needles in their arms; you're all idiots...

    Ths is a very simple trick dressed up to the 9s...

    Darren has taken misdirection to a whole new level...

    Fucking genius...

  • wtf

  • This was kind of a fail experiment.

  • Because of the plane flying by. It's too bad because before that plane flew so close overhead it was like he wasn't putting needles in his arms.

  • robbie thinks hes so cool

  • yep he got more than 250 millions and fuck all nice virgins isnt that cool?

  • he seems pretty cool to me

  • who is robbie williams????

  • musician, he did that music video where he removed his skin, pretty tight stuff. used to be in a brit boy band when he was younger if i remember correctly

  • that wasn't creepy at all

  • Ha! He looks like he's going to throw up. The bravado at the end was ridiculous after freaking out so much earlier, he should have just admitted that he didn't like it, That way he wouldn't look like a fool.

  • wow god damn....robbie williams sounds like a prat lol his voice is so high!

  • um, what the fuck was the point?

  • yeh seriously lol

  • He can't feel the pain.

  • how dull are people on here robbie wiliams thinks the needles are stuck in his arms but they are not ...thats the point they are not actually stuck in his arms..its an ILLUSION DUH.

  • is it possible your the der or is that an illusion,thats nothing compared to his other work bro he owns peoples subconscious,not that hard to believe again compared to the other shit he does

  • Kinda reminded me of sweenie todd.

  • magic neddles and a tube of rubber cement  and i could do that

  • Sorry Robbie. I just laughed. Mind you, Derren you could have damaged an already fragile mind.

     Good stuff.

  • I would love to torture celebrities?

  • get off the phone tyler

  • he's only in pain after he actually saw the needle in his arm

  • what?? i don't get this video!!

  • i dont get it either ..... lol it looked like he was in pain was he not supposed to fee lit i don't get it heheh! HELP!!

  • he was just getting freaked out, he wasn't in pain cause he didn't notice them until derren showed him

  • O ok thnx .:) wow!!

  • that would be so creepy to watch i hate needles

  • what was the point of this clip :S Looked like robbie felt the needles :S

  • why do thisss?!?!?????

  • buuuullllshit!!

  • um ... rubber cement?

  • rubber cement with tattoos on it?

  • that was a little creepy when he started singing with him and rubbing the needle

  • this is awsome but made me cringe i hate needles

  • when i saw this i stared to cry

  • Hahaha. It is an illusion. He was never puncured with the needles. I do this trick as well and I will tell you that even though you know its not real it makes you hurt because it looks real. I won't reveal the trick though, but you can find it on youtube if you look hard enough.

  • who ever thought it was real is stupid, it's a magic trick that even a child can do

  • Ever heard of OkeePa?

    This doesn't need to be unreal to be unrelevant.

    Though I like Darren Brown.

  • lol, you need transparent glue

  • you know this can also be done through hypnosis? and, after all derren brown IS a hypnotist... why would you think it was a magic trick when he's a hypnotist?

  • its not hypnotism its a psychological scientific process called NLP (neuro linguistic programming)

  • he uses the song as an anchor after he created disassosiation in the arms with hypnosis. When he starts singing again and the needles are pulled out he goes back to the original hypnotic state of disassosiation (excuxe any spelling mistakes)

  • @wfearn i agree that he may use some sort of hypnosis but its only to distract robbie so that he cant see what derrens doing. the needles dont actually go through his arms, he uses rubber cement to stick the skin around the needle, and the 'blood' you see comes from inside the needle. its hollow and the black ball at the end is actually rubber and can be squeezed so that 'blood' comes out, this trick was shown on "breaking the magicians code"

  • @thechadzilla he did another trick where he puts a needle through a guy after he hypnotizes him, the needle went through and he didn't feel a thing except a drop of blood. But it couldn't be fake cause he had a scar left on his arm after the trick.

  • lol, "see how they run, ow"

  • yeah that really pissed me off. lol

  • the airoplane fucked it up !

  • i pretty much think, the plane had something to do with the whole thing!

  • yeah me too!

  • god derren brown really is the devil personified :P:P he was obviously in so much pain when he was goin yeh he was like choking on it....well who wouldn't be in pain with two fucking knitting needles sticking out of them :p

  • i bet his teacher made him gay by accident using hypnosis and couldnt reverse it

  • Derren Brown is awesome

  • Wtf this is ducking wier like wtf.

  • Haha, Derren Brown could be a sleep medicine, except be a person, not a pill. There are no side effects :D

  • whats the point, i was waiting for somethin interesting to happen...

  • Lol, Derren Brown can be so creepy "Cut off their tail with a carving knife" as he get's the second needle ready, in that fighting tone of a psycho serial killer :P ...I don't think I'll be singing this to my little sister again for a while, lol.

    Haha, Robbie Williams tryin to be a big man at the end, yet when he saw the needles he looked close to tears.

    Derren Brown is bloody awesome, I love this scene so much!

  • Wow, he is like a psyco killer.

    "three blind mice..."

    *rubs needles*

  • It's amusing how Derren Brown can make a simple magician's trick look like some form of psychological manipulation.

    Always entertaining.

  • by far the darkest of derren yet

  • god it makes me giggle when Robbie doesn't want to admit how much that f*ckin hurts

  • About time somebody tortured that guy! LOL

  • lol yeah haha

  • Robbie is a faggot

  • which one of is albums is this song on?

  • Lol.. He got something to tell at home

  • I don't think Robbie's reaction is important here, though I don't think he is faking: he is not under hypnosis, but being where he was, chained, singing that song, and having a freek working on your arms, while your eyes are shut, can do a lot to a man's imagination; The great thing about this performance is the unique use he found out for that ilusion, which when seen on stage- a needle through a magician's arm- isnt even half as powerfull as when done to a suggested spectator

  • I think this one should win an award of some kind

  • Robbies a pussy

  • This is retarded. Its so fake! For one, the guy isn't under hypnosis at all, hes just going with the act. Second, assuming the needles are even going through his skin, it doesn't hurt that bad, its no different than getting your blood taken. This video is worth less than nothing.

  • 3 blind mice... oww... its uncomfortable.. i dont think this worked as well as derren wanted it to if im honest....iv seen him do stuff like this that go alot better....

  • I tried mindreadingexposed... it's nowhere close to Derren's stuff

  • wow Derren puts a guy in trance in seconds; only a true master of psychology can do that

  • this is similar to another trick which derren did,

    imagine you are cuttin some vegtables, and you cut yourself but you dont notice that youve cut yourself, you feel no pain, as far as you know theres no cut however when you do see the cut thats when it actually starts to hurt

  • Sterf af robbie!

  • "See how they run..au..they all.." xD

  • lmao thats neat

  • Robbie was scared shitless! hahaha

  • wow

  • there's no blood dripping?

  • this man is off the chain! love it....

  • Great performance of Harry Anderson's needle through the arm. Bravo.

  • ouch! that looks PAINFUL to me. Poor Robbie, OMG and derren is mad! Robbie is also crazy cause he acceptd it

  • Well you panic when you see that there's two needles penetrated through your both arms. It's about knowing and not knowing. If you don't know something, it's not going to be scary. And of course in the hypnosis you concentrate in one thing, and here it's the peaceful song and Derren's voice. It's just amazing.

  • robbie wouldn't have felt any pain if he hadn't panicked.

  • You wouldn't think it from this...but he is the most successful singer after Brittany and madonna

  • The Europe's most famous singer. Also known as the greates singer in south of America (mexico, brazil, argentina...) in south of Africa and in Asia. And people use to call him "mister Entertainment" cause is the GREATEST ENTERTAINNER ON STAGE AND EVERYWHERE.

  • oh. maybe ill listen to him one day

  • He's a singer!

  • yeah, robbie was in a hypnotic state, off course!!! Bullshit! He just was playing with the whole thing, to be nice to derren brown. Poor Rob, hope this Derren show doesn´t go on, derren is just totaly incompetent and scary.

  • thank you very much for the lyrics bigguyliam!!!!

  • I just found out about Derren Brown as he is being televised now in the U.S. This stunt with RW is really difficult to watch! Why on earth did Robbie agree to do it! It's insane! I'd agree that it wasn't in the best taste, and quite pointless.

  • maybe putting the needles through his eyes would have been more fun than what he did. masive derren brown fan but... this seemed pointless

  • poor Rob!!

    can someone wite the song, please? I´m spanish. I don´t understand it. But it seems for children.

  • Seems to me liek Derren Brown panics a little when blood starts coming out of the arm... What exactly is the trick supposed be btw? Robbie Williams is obviously in pain... If I stick needles through someone's arms would that be considered a trick? Sorry Derren, I'm a fan but this trick sucks.

  • Nope, all part of the trick. The needles never were in Robbies arms. I know this one an dI think I have said enough.

  • ok, this is the most funniest yet scariest thing I have ever seen. and that Robbie--I just wanna take him home and take care of his wounds!

  • can i tell u sumthing people

    IF U THINK DERREN IF A FUCKING FAKE, STOP WATCHING HIS VIDIOS AND GET A LIFE

  • wow, derren looks like he is enjoying himself when he puts the needles through robs arms, amazing how he can get away with being a sadist!! im sooo jealous, lol. especially when theres a little blood...

  • People are saying "this was no trick, he's using the old needle-through-arm-using-glue effect" but that's what made it so amazing, he convinced Robbie that it hurt.

    Actually, I think I'm wrong. =S

  • Its in the title all "trick of the mind" exactly wht it does!

  • that wasnt even a trick, its was just showing you how those Mauri guys in Africa do it hahaha with fucing Jam jars in their lips and alloy wheels in their ears like Hardcore kids hahaha

  • oooh DB is amazing. Haha and the little slip-up at the end...

  • did darren get off from that?

  • Its probably just concentration, while he concentrates on the nursery rhyme he didnt feel the pain, then after he was clearly in pain and discomfort

  • Rubber cement on the swabs, which would stick to the skin and *not* the metal. At 4:06 and 4:46 you can see him pinch the skin together over the needle. As for the blood, it was in the bulb at the bottom of the needle. You see him squeeze at 6:12, it comes out of a hole in the side of the needle that he places under the folded skin.

  • Not much of a trick in my opinion. It obviously did hurt Robbie and you could see blood. I can´t say I´m impressed...

  • I think Robbie was supposed to go in to a hipnotic state which he clearly didn't. (I think he was taking the piss by putting his head down, on par for Rob.)

    Points:

    The only reason it was aired is because he managed to lure Rob.

    Those needles would've hurt about that much.

  • Derren should've/did realise Rob wasn't under. He chose to stay po-faced when he should have improvised.

    Any sadism redirected or justified against boybands from Brown was misplaced. We all know Rob's made of god juice so the lesser Brown is left looking like a complete tw4t.

    The only reason I even looked this up here was for a quick lol at comments about an apparently incompetent Derren Brown.

  • eh...who can tell me what is it all about?!i can't understand...it's chilling...i can hardly proceed with this vid...i'm still chilling now...i hate the stuff!o my rob...it's embarassing me= =|||

  • Wow! He even sings nursery rhymes like crap. What makes him think he could tackle We Are the Champions?

  • Derren should be wearing gloves, very unclean.

  • doesn't go in man...

  • i was expecting somthin clever but he just stuck needles through his arms

  • Yep, they go through the skin.

  • there's something quite creepy about the sound of the nursery rhyme in contrast to the background music...and the lyrics :S

  • they are sterile needles that go through the arm , the gel is a numbing gel - the reason they dont show them going in from the front is because ,it would to much of horrific image for television. though darren brown is a con artist

  • It's probably not numbing gel, it's far, far more likely to be preparing the area (cleaning).

  • Derren Brown is a great performer but it's a shame to pretend to use no gimmick, whereas in this trick he uses a very old trick called needle tru arm using rubber glue. In the original (better quallity) video, you even see the glue reflecting the light. Several tricks he does are just bullshit. Very deceiptive.

  • Could you please explain the old glue needle trick thingie???

  • It's an old sideshow trick. The performer basically rubs rubber cement on the needle and sticks it to the outside of the arm. The skin then gets folded over the needle and a small amount of fake blood is pumped out from a small hole in the needle to complete the effect.

  • It's all in the performance. :o)

  • Indeed. Though I am sure Derren would willingly admit that.

  • It's actually glue.

    The glue held the skin around the needle, that's why they don't show it going through the arm, but shot from behind.

  • the only way for the skin to be around the needle is if the needle actually went through the skin.also, if it were glue, the needles would stick, which you could plainly see the needles going in and out of the skin. oh, and don't forget about the bit of blood on his left arm as he started to mentally struggle with it. still think it's glue?

  • I don't think he would risk sticking needles in him if they didn't talk about that in some way before.

  • lol, I thought that Robbie was gona spak em as soon as released he's arms, then again it did look awesome

  • wow!

  • Lol your idiots, "If you don't see it then it doesn't hurt" lmao morons. tell your friend to randomly stab you in the back with a Knife, you wont see it, and then in turn (atleast by your theory) you wont feel it. let me know how it goes.

    HAHA morons.

  • Awesome and so hilariously sinister. - The airoplanes are the triggers for mr Williams and at least half of it is hypnotising us, the big D in the backround - the music, his sinister act. Makes hitchcock look like a baby

  • yeah it's just a mental trick. Pain is the bodys way of telling something's wrong so pain is just in your head. He created a distraction with the song and by other ways of manipulating.

    And the blood thingie is easy to explain. See how his hands are hanging? The straps shrink the main artery in the arms and therefore lessers the bloodflow where the needles were put. Also there was a bit of blood.
