Derren is in Blackpool or "Las Vegas" of Britain apparently as he says. Works on 2/3 of people he approached. Derren is making people give their wallet, car keys, house keys...everything to him.

Trick of the Mind
Season 2, Episode 2

I've attached also a clip where he doesn't succeed (in the end).

ENJOY my friends!

    that is true. russian scam is based on confusion and subconcious order.

    when you are confused you are looking for answer in your environment. if you are alone, the only thing you can think about is darrens subconcious order "can i grab your wallet" but, whenever you r with frineds, u can look for information with them and the order is weaker.

    sorry for my terrible english. i hope you understood

  • Look at the guy in the backround at 2:20. He's like WTF?

  • He failed the last one on purpose. Nice acting, Derren.

  • The second one was practically the same thing, pacing/leading "It is down there", "That's the tower over there", "You'll be happy to give that to me", then, since the guy wasn't quite there yet, Derren gave him a handshake interrupt, one more pace during the interrupt, hands him the bottle and leads for the stuff. He paces some more and walks away.

  • This was done with a nested loop (to start), non-verbal pacing (the entire time), then from here on out it was PACE PACE PACE LEAD. The first lead is the suggestion "you'll be happy to give that to me". Then PACE PACE PACE LEAD, the second lead "Can I [just give that] just grab your wallet off you?" contained an embedded command in the bracket. That second lead combined a technique (Reciprocation, from Cialdini's Influence Page 18). Then he paces twice more to keep his guard down and walks away

  • iam sorry, but i don t get it, are those people really that stupid, i wouldnt give any thing if somewone asks the way

  • @ommerl thanks for the explanation. i thought women are smarter:))

  • @entehrend It's not actors. You'd be suprised how hard it would be to make a televisionshow and manage to fake it without no one in the staff outing it. Plus, I've met several mentalists who can do it. Just because it's entertaining, and you've never experienced it, it doesn't mean it's fake. Widen your horizon mate.
