1.He chose a tall man to perform because women and short men can't be "pulled down" , they have low gravity center.

2.He chose a men who looked with admiration at him-so it will follow his orders.

3.He established control over him in conversation.

4. He singled him out standing in front of the class making him feel powerless.

5. He takes away his balance by standing up with his feet closed.

6. He orders him to fall:"i will catch you"

7.He placed the man in front of a mirror to see.

That first girl, she's so desperatly seeking for something and he knows it. It's kinda sad actually :(

I wonder if giving that woman a touch (or near touch?) stimulated a release of oxytocin. If so, her comparison to feeling a hug makes sense. Oxytocin makes people more trusting.

@DDudemaister Well, Derren does admit he sometimes fails. So a person who seems receptive from the getgo would be better. I also believe this has more to do with "healers" than preachers, and most of the time you'll only need a couple of people to be "healed" for everyone else to see and believe (if they are already there, then they should be open). When a person believes so strongly that what they are doing is true and helping others, they might suggest that as well. There are many factors...

Does Derren Brown say that pastors and preachers use hypnosis to convert people? Isn't this really advanced hypnosis which would means that all preachers have to use years to learn how to create this illusion to be able to convince people?

[Gripsock]

This is incredibly hard to do because hypnosis cannot break someones

moral or ethical code. The fact that their mind is trying to fight the suggestion

of religion just makes it seem more believable because they seem dumbfounded.

Derren is truly amazing.

@magdalenaferu yes, you are correct. if you asked derren, he would probably tell you that. its all psychology, obviously for us the viewers too. doesnt change the fact that believing in some magical bearded man that gives a shit about you is insane.

I would like to know more about how this was advertised. Was there a photo of Derren Brown? I know of Derren Brown & am from the USA. Even before I could say I knew him by name I saw mind control on the sci fi (The initials of the channel have changed) channel & found him again when I had access to the internet. This seems like a psychology test that boasts of how poorly done it is because all answers have the I am rubber your glue effect concerning all conversion.

Much like the old phrase and the REO song "Should I follow my head or follow my head or follow my heart" Emotions over analytical thought ---knowlege vs feelings
