This was very very interesting. Having seen many of Derren's videos on subliminal messaging and unconsciousness, I actually did manage to predict some of what he was going to do.

Notice how he briefly demonstrates the sign he wants his opponent to make just before starting each game.

0:34 and briefly 0:40 - scissors

1:15 - stone

1:51 - paper

2:19 - scissors

As for the others, I didn't catch.

Amazing how he does it so naturally!

Fun. Fast talk and confidence key.

First, he lures his opponent by gesturing the opening move he wants them to make while emphasizing how good he is at the game. Note the scissors he gestures with victim one and the way he waves his hand in the paper sign while saying victory.

Second, these victims helplessly mimic his last play (thinking he is so good) while he simply chooses the next one to beat his last play.

I'd like to see if he could predict the next play after intentionally losing.

@alexhogendoorn essentially I think that's the case. Another factor that's important is I think he is even choosing to play people who don't know how to play, hence are more likely to copy his previous move, or to mimic his starting gesture. Overall when it comes to videoed tricks like these, they can film a whole bunch of times, and then only choose the ones where he succeeds, makes him look better than he really is.

@MMurchie

Thanks for telling, I have also found one:

1:06 scissors (his hand is waving at that time.)

@MMurchie he's been practicing his whole life, of course he's good.

How do u play this is it like rock, paper, scissors

[FelixR1991]

he's always a fraction of a second later. Knowing Derren (not personally ofcourse) he uses this split second to see if he was correct. keep watching closely. its like .2 of a second.
