At 2:20 the owner pulls his hand back a bit, which means that he thought Derren will take it and run away.

That means that Derren never met him before and this isn't fake. :)

what the fuck is wrong with you haters? derren brown isn't a hoax, he's just really good at NLP. none of you even noticed the language he used.

1:03 - "It's okay, take it, take it" while talking about a subway.

1:37 - "It's good for you to take, so you can just take that and feel okay"

3:04 - "Take it, it's fine, it's fine, it's fine"

Fucking christ. I mean, just watch the video of him and Simon Pegg. He's good at using language to convince people to think a certain way.

@clancym1 It's hard to believe the second one was legitimate. Who wouldn't count $4500 as they are given it let alone notice the snow white paper? You have to be criminally retarded to take white paper and never look to count it.

I wonder if the hot dog seller did not fall for it because perhaps he is a not a native English speaker and therefore the suggestion to take it did not work as well on him?  But Derren is just amazing. It is a pleasure to watch him. One thinks that one would not fall for it but then one is not actually being put to the test.

@TranceWulf yeah actually i was screwing with people. its so easy to lie online. good day from NC

@N0GGINB0NKER you didn't simply say that YOU personally wouldn't fall for it, you said no one would. you don't have to be dumb to be susceptible to neuro-linguistic programming. clearly you have no knowledge of the subject.

[ubermensch826]

@Grejegando you have no idea what nlp is. why don't you read up on the literature first/do some research before you talk.

[N0GGINB0NKER]

@ubermensch826 I'm retarded for saying I wouldn't fall for this? If you think this is for real and that you would easily fall for it, then you're the retard. **Shoves cock in your mouth** "No take it. It's fine..."

[ubermensch826]

guy pissed: what is this??

derren: you know my dad's 65!

[ubermensch826]

@N0GGINB0NKER you are profoundly retarded.

[N0GGINB0NKER]

@jikos93 Nope. It's bullshit.

Theres no way I would think a BLANK sheet of WHITE PAPER is cash. Now I've had people try to tell me they gave me a 20 instead of a 5 or a 10, and in that situation I can see people falling for it, but not blank paper. Even glancing at it would reveal its fake.

The jewelry store bit is absolutely ridiculous. Theres NO WAY someone working a jewelry store isn't gonna pay attention to $4600 cash.

If you wanna say YOU would fall for it, fine.

[jikos93]

@N0GGINB0NKER nope, ive also worked at a cash register and your brain kind of picks up on things and creates shortcuts. simply put, you go through so many transactions every day there are many similar situations when giving change and receiving money and i can clearly see how this sort of repitition can confuse someone into doing something they're used to doing. derren brown did it very smart and calculated im sure he is capable of taking advantage of it in the way that HE DID.
