I like how Derren explained the BMX thing. We're living in the age of CGI and tricks don't impress us that much anymore, but when you explain it it's really interesting.
I kinda suspect that he really did want the BMX and the manipulation occurred when Derren got him to write leather jacket. I think you could suggest something strongly enough to make someone write something different down but I'm not sure Simon would have no recollection at all of writing down something he really wanted.
Absolutely fantastic! I tried the bmx thing on my Nan and I kept tapping her on the arm everytime that I shouted CAKE and I bought her a cake but unfortunately she wanted a shed...
And I tried it with my ex, but every time I'd tap her arm and say "just the car, that's enough", her divorce lawyer would slap my hand away, and yell "ALIMONY" in her ear. Too bad I didn't have Derren there to pat her lawyers arm and whisper "Jaguar XJ ..."
Notice how Darren reminded him about the feeling of finding the perfect thing, and once he was remembering that feeling he tapped his arm, that associated that feeling with the tap.
The tap that you guys are talking about comes from neurological linguistic programming and that tap is called an anchor a board-certified hypnotist can get that to work every time. And no it's not misdirection😊
The last trick with Stephen Fry: Derren was performing at a restaurant pre fame and did that trick for a table of patrons, one turned out to be a C4 producer. The rest is history 👍
Is it because he already flashed the King of Diamonds at Stephen Fry somehow earlier in the conversation? I.e. when he (derren) took a sip of his drink, or when the cards came out of the box?
@@warartco sort of, in pure effect he reveals completely how the trick he did for Stephen Fry was done, along with some other various tricks he's done off television. But yes he does generally tend to keep his tricks a secret.
So if I quote someone, I'm copying someone else who has qouted the same person? Surely I'm copying the person who I'm qouting. Haha, you really are thick.
Derren looks like a mind-reader, but he's not. He's actually a mind-writer. Whatever choice or thought you think you made on your own, Derren put it in there. Derren knows what card you selected because he made you choose that card. It's amazing, and I wish I could do that as well :) You think you have free will? Not around Derren :)
At around 20:31 - the last trick with Stephy Fry - if you watch Derren's right hand holding the cigarette, you can see him switch it out at the edge of the table for the real card.
I spottet that too, but i spotted something else too in that scene. Not that is has ANYTHING to do with the trick. But look at the the gentlemens right hand(The Actor on the left) at 18:50 as he reach out for the lighter he graps what looks to be a deck of cards, it could be just his cigaret pack. But then the question is. Whats the pack of marlboro doing on the table?
+Thomas Pedersen There was at least 2 takes of the whole scene that were edited together. You can tell, from how the props move on the table, over the multiple top-down shots. The first shot doesn't even have a cigarette pack on the table. I don't know what Stephen pulled out his pocket, but it was likely just his own cigarette pack, and he quickly realised there was still a pack on the table. Also notice how the card's pack moves across the table in the last two top-down shots. Not entirely sure why they did top-down shots in the first place. They're not super necessary... except to show the tricks inner workings - like the well timed top-down shot of Darren throwing the cigarette away. They would've edited that out, if they didn't want you to see it. All in all, there's so many cuts in the whole thing.
On the last choice, Derren loudly says "Yes!". Pretending it was about his process, but IMO he was prompting/suggesting to Steven too choose yes? He did! And I knew he would!
After listening to Steve Merchant on XFM for so, so long, I'm 100% certain he died a little inside during that trick, and I want to hug him because of it. The worst part is that Derren knew it too... Also, gender and sexuality aside, I imagine that everyone who sits across from Derren Brown both falls in love with and is terrified of him simultaneously. I feel both of those emotions just watching him onscreen.
@@ModernWelfareThree Haha, they just focused a lot on how...tight with money Steve is. I think the idea of losing even a pound kills him, so I honestly think Derren added in the money stakes just to mess with his mind.

I think Derren prefers to live on the happy side of life and doesn’t wanna go near that stuff.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you Derren for showing I am not weird or a bit psychic, but that it is my prior unknown mannerisms and observations that have caused impressions that fooled me into wondering if I had a gift even though I do not believe in that. Very refreshing and awesome! (Now I need to figure out this perpetual clock thing in my head)
I decided to memorize his patter and tried to match the exact physical touches and movements and it worked on 3 males it failed on the 2 females. Weird but has me intrigued hats for sure
astrol4b you’re warm- he goes to shake his hand and when he responds back to shake hands, something else happens instead to confuse the guys brain. Right after this the subliminal suggestions start and repeated various ways. Does the same on stage when a volunteer etc comes up if he wants to start controlling their thoughts. Amazing what can happen in a split second they’re not aware of.
One thing I love about DB is he never takes shit from people. He utilizes NLP to get people to do exactly what he wants them to do! He's in control! That said, my fave guests were Pegg and Fry. Marvelous reactions.
I just got in a sort of trance watching this video and paying attention to the details. I really thought I was around 5 minutes or less in the video and I was at 16 minutes...
I kinda of got into a trance, too. I was about half way through the video when I realised it was about 20 minutes in and not 5 minutes in. It's really strange how that happens, isn't it??
"Best thing is to ignore them for now, really." I've never immediately fallen in love with a throwaway line so easily. It immediately told me "therefore I need to pay attention to them.... except, no, he actually wants me to focus on them, that 's why he said that, they are a decoy.... except maybe *that's* what he wants me to..." This is some reverse psychology bullcrap, I'm sure, and I'm interested.
@@campbte85 The last one is an original. It's called "Smoke" and the method is explained in his first book "Pure Effect". Unfortunately, the book has been out of print for over a decade and the cheapest copy on Amazon is over £100, so I don't know it.
The thing he did with Simon Pegg is called a snap induction, most people think of hypnosis as the swinging watch and you are getting very sleepy, but that's not necessary. When someone reaches out to shake your hand your automatic response is to put your hand out too, you don't have to think, "oh this person is putting out their hand for me to shake I'd better do the same" it's just automatic, but when something other than what you're expecting happens like them grabbing your wrist your brain doesn't know how to react and boom you're in a hypotonic state.(a bit of an oversimplification, but there's plenty of videos on TH-cam on snap induction if you're interested)
i saw the bmx thing coming from a mile away. if anyone knows/remembers white collar, there was episode with real and fake diamonds and the mc had to convince someone to only check out the real gems by wearing a certain color of tie and using that kind of wordplay. really amazing to see it happen with real people tho
It's amazing how you believe everything Brown says about his magical abilities without considering the validity. The guy is an entertainer - most of the stuff he says is complete and utter bullshit.
@@director6799 The issue is not the existence of the concept of suggestibility, the issue is whether or not the narratives presented on Brown's specials are real or fake, or a mixture of the two, and if it is the latter, then how much?
For the Americans out there, the well known people are: That guy from Dr. Who and Bridesmaids(?) That guy from Ricky Gervais stuff That guy from the new Star Trek stuff That well known guy And that guy you recognize from BBC, seems like a nice bloke.
Card, card, card, card, _ _ _ _ _, Brilliant! Or, did Steven impress upon me? I thought his card would be the 10d...I am utterly floored by Derren's seamless mastery.
I'm just curious what age groups watch Derren Brown. Comment the number that has your age group in it. 1-(0-12) 2-(13-18) 3-(19-25) 4-(26-30) 5-(31-45) 6-(46-50) 7-(51+)
Sometimes it is. But for the most part he likes to troll. Like at the end of "Something Wicked this Way Comes" he gives an explanation to the audience how it all worked and it's OBVIOUSSLY bullshit. But it's still pretty funny. Most magicians distract you during a trick, so you pay attention to all the wrong things. Darren just takes it a step further by distracting you even after the trick is over.
bullsquid42 All he does is suggestion and psychological tricks to confuse or implant a "victim" with something. He's a complete master at covering his tracks.
He does that too. But he also uses many classic techniques like sleight of hand. It's a combination of a whole bunch of skills, and in other videos he sais that too. Psychology is a great tool but not a very reliable one. It works for like the thing with the red bike, but in most other cases there's more to it. The human brain is too complex to get an exact result every time. With the red bike he uses a lot of effort and the entire room decoration just to get a single, simple and visual thought. That works. But you can't make someone think of a specific card or number with just a few scentences. It's too abstract and there's no emotional component to it. So there he often uses classical magician's tools or sometimes just plain math. But it's the fact that he's a master in so many fields that makes him amazing and his tricks almost impossible to figure out.
@youweechup, a 'drop' means he physically dropped the card, in his lap. Stephen Fry begins at about 18:30. He had it on the table and dropped it. He then switched it for something else.
you mean when he was smoking ? yeah i know 100% how the fry trick is done from start to finish, doesnt really involve a card drop though, so thats why im confused.
Poorly worded on my part. He dropped the cigarette and had the card palmed, my mistake. I don't know how he pushed the idea of King of Hearts though. I would guess he 'pushed' the idea and showed the card, then palmed it while reaching for a cigarette. It's a great illusion. I think the camera person, the angle was the only reason I was able to catch it. I love Derren, just love that guy!
yeah its a great trick, the thing that elevates it is Derrens showmanship as is the case with all of his material, its one thing to be able to do it, but to do it REALLY well takes that extra something.
Yes, but he asked him something, of he had to say "no", and he said it with a delay and without being so sure of, as he would be if he wanted to say no for the card. That's why he changed it.
I watched this years ago but I came back to watch it again. As I was watching it, I said 7 of clubs, 10 of clubs, jack of hearts. Strange. Didn't get them quite right but the last one was spot on for me.
Aah I know that one. It's a classic misdirection. You see, the trick really isn't making the sausage appear in your mouth. The real trick is making you believe it's just a sausage. :D
At 5:56 I feel like he planted a clue when he said Yes I am going to change that implying that is yes and that he was going to change that to a No. This might be a negative suggestion that Steve would refuse to believe thinking it was an attempt to throw him off and that is maybe why also refused to change his mind later on.
The first one is fairly simple I believe. It is, we the audience, that are being tricked into thinking that Matt doesn’t know what the cards are and is being asked to think of 3 cards. What is actually happening is massive change in perception between what happened and what we think is happening. Imagine there were 2 different tricks filmed. One trick featured Matt knowing what the cards were and had a part where he was asked to recall them. That is what we are seeing. We think Matt is being asked to randomly choose 3 cards. But what was going on was Matt was being asked to remember his 1st, 2nd and 3rd cards that were face down whilst Darren was confusing him. The other trick would be very similar but featured different elements such as Matt shuffling the cards randomly. Then elements from these two different tricks are edited together to form a seemingly impossible trick. Notice the keys and pen move positions throughout. Since the two tricks are similar and both good in their own right, once it is broadcast Matt will have forgotten the details and think it looked how it happened. He would have been told only 1 of tricks would be chosen for broadcast whereas it’s elements from both tricks spliced together to form the impossible
They note was replaced, so obviously they read it. Duh. The subliminal nonsense is just his trademark he uses in many of his tricks and never has anything to do with the trick itself. It's just the "bullshit" explanation.
The BMX is quite easy to figure out. I actually guessed way before the reveal. He talks really quickly but in there I heard the words handle and bar almost together, and "beaming with excitement" (b-m-x) very early on. Once you hear the first clue the rest fly in from all directions.
I stopped it at 13:09 and IDK if Brown further reveals how he did it, but honest to God, this is the first time I have seen this particular stunt of his and I guessed he was going to say BMX bike because as I was watching it it became obvious to me that he was using NLP and each time Brown tapped him on the arm or wherever, it was to punch up a particular word or part of a word he was saying. I took note of what those words were as it was going along. I also noticed that he was not just babbling nonsense as he held his other hand to the table. He was locking him in and slightly hypnotizing him, and giving him the very clear suggestion that no matter what he had written down on that piece of paper beforehand, what he REALLY wanted was a BMX tat he had been suggesting to him rater overtly. e hypnotized him into simply believing that that overcame whatever he actually wanted. And then, if you notice, he taps him again and says a few key words to snap him out of the trance just prior to opening the envelope, leaving him with the resonating feeling (or in this case, post-hypnotic suggestion) that indeed he wanted a BMX all along. Just read up on NLP and hypnotism. Any of this can be easily done and is all the time. (Despite beliefs that one cannot be hypnotized against one's will). You most certainly can.....and are.
@Normal Misha Because then you have to explain how someone can forge both his handwriting and signature well enough to fool him while he's looking for anything to explain what could have happened, not to mention switch it into his wallet without him noticing
What he says when he's talking to him is epic.....he says words in a way to make things sound like bike and other things about said bike it's fuckin EPIC
What separates Derren Brown from literally every other magician on the planet is that he absolutely insists on showing the audience how he does his tricks as he's doing them, the clearest example is the sharp camera cuts to Simon Peggs arm every time he taps it, I didn't quite get what it was but I knew it was going to be something that ended in 'x'
9:44 "even though two days before they said "I want x" what ever that is, or a really nice car like a BM - or a X-box , something like that. Something they really wanted" lel
That's so smart! Overstimulate the brain to the point when it doesn't know what to focus at, then you make a tap on the arm for everything you want him to pick up! That extra bit of stimulation makes your brain focus on the above average activity on those certain point, it's like flash driving your brain to make some parts of your binary brain more active. You litterally overload the brain to overload it a bit more to make certain things stick out... Omg i will try to learn this! This is pure genious!
AXELmetroidFAN also going for the handshake but breaking it midway through interrupts brain patterns and makes you docile and suggestible, and he also said "by creating" near when he did it, and it sounded like he said bike instead
I know this is an old comment, but I noticed that and I was wondering if anyone else noticed. I read the comments to find out and I can't believe it took so many comments to find someone else who caught it. LOL
The trick with Stephen Fry is one of the most wonderful pieces of showmanship I've seen. Personally I'd prefer if Derren didn't explain exactly how he does it because I feel it breaks the spell (tho I can see others feel differently).
Matt Lucas cards were forced using NLP: 1) 6 of Clubs ---- DB says "pop up into your head" while making the shape of a playing card club with his hands! Then he asks him to remember the worst character he played which is Sir Bernard Stateley that ran for only SIX ten minute shows. Matt's talked before about this. As a comedy show actor you're judge by the networks on how many shows a series can run for so SIX is the most important number to him and is directly tied his character being a flop 2) 4 of clubs ---- DB moves on quick to keep the connection to the last card and while pointing at something solid "keys" nice K sound for cards and clubs, (NLP solid = firm choice = same as before), at the same time he's point he re-enforces it with "very interesting".. NLP pathway locked!.. now he asks what the 2nd card is.. not the NEXT card, but the second card, so he's basically asking tell me a card that is two more that the last one. At this point he's not expecting Matt to answer and almost messes it up cos most people would say 8 of clubs being two more than six but then when he pushes the keys and says you can have those "back" he's trying to switch it to six, however Matt actually says the number four before he stops him but after he says "back' so he quickly shift again to say "oh no i actually do need them".. aka stay with that answer. 3) jack of diamonds --- This ones pretty easy... DB starts off my asking him to confirm that these cards are coming "right out the top of your head as I'm talking to you right now", (plant cards with heads) He then puts those other cards together and pauses, slows down his speech to separate them from the LAST card. Ok the Jack is not LAST but close to the end of the deck to so head, end-of-deck.. King, Queen or Jack... ok so he knows Matt is Jewish and very proud of it and he laughs when Matt mentions Jesus cos it links in nicely to the Jewish question.. J being Jesus and Jewish and Jack, he says "right now" twice more and then asks if he's "Jewish, religiously so or not so religiously so", right then it's Jack and what suit... well the biggest Jewish RELIGIOUS symbol is the Star of David that looks a lot like a Diamond ( more so that any other suite anyway). DONE!

From the bottom of my heart, thank you Derren for showing I am not weird or a bit psychic, but that it is my prior unknown mannerisms and observations that have caused impressions that fooled me into wondering if I had a gift even though I do not believe in that. Very refreshing and awesome! (Now I need to figure out this perpetual clock thing in my head)
I'd like to hear more about your gift, Sir.
This is Ericsonian taken to the ultimate extreme! His ability to read and manipulate is unparalleled. I was Mesmerised! Great presentation.

hello fellow KP addict !!! :) i know that phrase from anywhere haha
haha im glad to see KP can bring people together.
'KP Looks After Me'
If you really want to check if someone is blindfolded, pretend to slap, / punch them and if they flinch. HOORAY! They're not blindfolded.
That's actually a good idea, although I imagine it's a trick that only works once on a magician / performer that uses a fake blindfold.
Or just actually punch them, that's my choice!
Yup!
@@gravesbroderick And if they dodge, they could see through the blindfold?
When Derren was asking simon "Are you sure, did you want .. questions" I was like "hey, stop bullying the nerd."
That tape recorder in the back in Simon Pegg's one is such an indication that he's trying to influence wheels turning
I love getting the occasional glimpse into how all this stuff works, like the red spots on the package containing the bike
I decided to memorize his patter and tried to match the exact physical touches and movements and it worked on 3 males it failed on the 2 females. Weird but has me intrigued hats for sure
2 females failed for BMX?
I want a hat for some reason
Did you do the weird hand gesture in the beginning? Because it's supposed to induce a trance.
Hmmm....hats.....
astrol4b you’re warm- he goes to shake his hand and when he responds back to shake hands, something else happens instead to confuse the guys brain. Right after this the subliminal suggestions start and repeated various ways. Does the same on stage when a volunteer etc comes up if he wants to start controlling their thoughts. Amazing what can happen in a split second they’re not aware of.
Thanks for the upload Derren (or rather Derren's minions), never fails to amaze me!
One thing I love about DB is he never takes shit from people. He utilizes NLP to get people to do exactly what he wants them to do! He's in control!
That said, my fave guests were Pegg and Fry. Marvelous reactions.
Derren, I think your magic has followed me in my personal life. Teach me more. Thank you!!
I just got in a sort of trance watching this video and paying attention to the details. I really thought I was around 5 minutes or less in the video and I was at 16 minutes...
I just realized when I accidentaly touched the reproduction bar...
I kinda of got into a trance, too. I was about half way through the video when I realised it was about 20 minutes in and not 5 minutes in. It's really strange how that happens, isn't it??
@Monica Merino fuck off
Yup, I was thinking I have watched 8-10 minutes and I was at 19.😅
seen derren live twice and his show is mind blowing
People don't realise how good of a painter DERREN BROWN is..
"Best thing is to ignore them for now, really."
I've never immediately fallen in love with a throwaway line so easily.
It immediately told me "therefore I need to pay attention to them.... except, no, he actually wants me to focus on them, that 's why he said that, they are a decoy.... except maybe *that's* what he wants me to..." This is some reverse psychology bullcrap, I'm sure, and I'm interested.
That card one at the end... amazing
Is that final "mind read" an original? If not... Anyone know the name of it (not how it is done of course)
@@campbte85 The last one is an original. It's called "Smoke" and the method is explained in his first book "Pure Effect". Unfortunately, the book has been out of print for over a decade and the cheapest copy on Amazon is over £100, so I don't know it.
The thing he did with Simon Pegg is called a snap induction, most people think of hypnosis as the swinging watch and you are getting very sleepy, but that's not necessary. When someone reaches out to shake your hand your automatic response is to put your hand out too, you don't have to think, "oh this person is putting out their hand for me to shake I'd better do the same" it's just automatic, but when something other than what you're expecting happens like them grabbing your wrist your brain doesn't know how to react and boom you're in a hypotonic state.(a bit of an oversimplification, but there's plenty of videos on TH-cam on snap induction if you're interested)
Derren is one scary dude 😂
15:50 can anyone tell me the source of this music, please?
video starts at 0:00 thank me later
mccall gamer overused comment.
Drowning Oreo true
overused reaction to a simple youtube comment
Overuse of overuse multiple exponentially. AH HAH!
Kenny McCall lmao 😂😂
i saw the bmx thing coming from a mile away. if anyone knows/remembers white collar, there was episode with real and fake diamonds and the mc had to convince someone to only check out the real gems by wearing a certain color of tie and using that kind of wordplay. really amazing to see it happen with real people tho
ita amazing how the human brain works and most of us havnt a clue lol
It's amazing how you believe everything Brown says about his magical abilities without considering the validity. The guy is an entertainer - most of the stuff he says is complete and utter bullshit.
ajnode True, he says he likes to mix magic and psychology, still cool though and he tricks people
@@ajnode its called neuro linguistics
@@director6799 The issue is not the existence of the concept of suggestibility, the issue is whether or not the narratives presented on Brown's specials are real or fake, or a mixture of the two, and if it is the latter, then how much?
He's inspired by some psychological stuff, like creating false memories, but he takes it too far that it's nowhere near believeable.
Frist trick is just a beauty.
5:58 "YES.. I'm gonna change that, for that" I see what you did there Derren :)
Misdirection rather than suggestion, am i right?
He purposely emphasised ‘yes’ as a red herring to Steve would pick it.
The first segment, HOW did Derren know which cards he picked, since it was obviously picked completely at random?
For the Americans out there, the well known people are:
That guy from Dr. Who and Bridesmaids(?)
That guy from Ricky Gervais stuff
That guy from the new Star Trek stuff
That well known guy
And that guy you recognize from BBC, seems like a nice bloke.
The British Psychiatrist from Bones...
Oh I wish I could hear karls thoughts on the Steven one. Especially when he bought the money out
Is it just me or is Derren completely smitten with Stephen Fry? He looks at him like he fell in love with him.
I think anyone would be
The 2 of them are Queers
Card, card, card, card, _ _ _ _ _, Brilliant! Or, did Steven impress upon me? I thought his card would be the 10d...I am utterly floored by Derren's seamless mastery.
0:00 Agent 47 Really let himself go.
What music at 15:38 ? Tell me please....
Not sure, but the composers are Tom and Rachel Morrison. Probably copyright protected by Channel 4 so we'll never get access to it.

The Stephen Fry one was boss.
Just realized there is a diamomd shape on the table that fry is sitting, and the card beside the king of hearts is a diamond
I wish someone would look at me the way Derren looks at Steven :P
As Mr. Fry said... ‘quite brilliant’. Thanks so much.
8:50 It's the handshake thing he talked about on Joe Rogan!
14:51 Eyyy! Its LaFayette of the Quenchingly McQuaffen brothers!
20:30 watch derren's right hand as he switches the cigaret for a burnt king of hearts.
I wish these always explained how he does these things. I can tell a lot, but not always. The BMX bike trick was hilarious.
True fact.Darren was Hogwarts top student until Harry arrived
I love Stephen Fry's reaction. "Fuck off!" Lovely.
I'm just curious what age groups watch Derren Brown. Comment the number that has your age group in it.

I'm just curious if Derren Brown has a specific audience that watches him, although he is entertaining for most ages.
that is so true
Your incredible Derren Brown! Some day I hope we’ll meet!
You already have. You just don’t remember it 😂
5:40 eyes bulging with imagined riches.
im sure that when derren explains the how its not but it is convincing and plausible
There's just one question - how?!
I just know one thing: The tricks never work the way he "explains" them ^^
But I kinda love that he's such a troll.
bullsquid42 They do, it's just he's completely mastered it. It's not AS simple as he makes it, but his stuff is just suggestion.
Sometimes it is. But for the most part he likes to troll. Like at the end of "Something Wicked this Way Comes" he gives an explanation to the audience how it all worked and it's OBVIOUSSLY bullshit. But it's still pretty funny.
Most magicians distract you during a trick, so you pay attention to all the wrong things. Darren just takes it a step further by distracting you even after the trick is over.
bullsquid42 All he does is suggestion and psychological tricks to confuse or implant a "victim" with something. He's a complete master at covering his tracks.
He does that too. But he also uses many classic techniques like sleight of hand. It's a combination of a whole bunch of skills, and in other videos he sais that too. Psychology is a great tool but not a very reliable one. It works for like the thing with the red bike, but in most other cases there's more to it. The human brain is too complex to get an exact result every time. With the red bike he uses a lot of effort and the entire room decoration just to get a single, simple and visual thought. That works.
But you can't make someone think of a specific card or number with just a few scentences. It's too abstract and there's no emotional component to it. So there he often uses classical magician's tools or sometimes just plain math. But it's the fact that he's a master in so many fields that makes him amazing and his tricks almost impossible to figure out.
With Fry I saw where he made the drop, but I still can't figure out how he did the push. I've seen this about a dozen times, and I still love it.
"drop" ?
@youweechup, a 'drop' means he physically dropped the card, in his lap. Stephen Fry begins at about 18:30.
He had it on the table and dropped it. He then switched it for something else.
you mean when he was smoking ? yeah i know 100% how the fry trick is done from start to finish, doesnt really involve a card drop though, so thats why im confused.
Poorly worded on my part. He dropped the cigarette and had the card palmed, my mistake. I don't know how he pushed the idea of King of Hearts though. I would guess he 'pushed' the idea and showed the card, then palmed it while reaching for a cigarette. It's a great illusion. I think the camera person, the angle was the only reason I was able to catch it. I love Derren, just love that guy!
yeah its a great trick, the thing that elevates it is Derrens showmanship as is the case with all of his material, its one thing to be able to do it, but to do it REALLY well takes that extra something.
What madness is this?!!😮
The Steven merchant yes no game was simple psychology & word play, still impressive seeing it put into action so effortlessly
mat lucas is adorable.
no. just no.
haha the one with Simon Pegg, bike gifts, handle bar none, to saddle. It's crazy how powerful suggestion is.
did anyone notice that Steve got the last one right he said it would be yes and it was
Yes, but he asked him something, of he had to say "no", and he said it with a delay and without being so sure of, as he would be if he wanted to say no for the card. That's why he changed it.
Wow Darren where are you not seeing you in ages
He'll convince anyone who's willing to keep listening to him, failing to walk away...
I watched this years ago but I came back to watch it again. As I was watching it, I said 7 of clubs, 10 of clubs, jack of hearts. Strange. Didn't get them quite right but the last one was spot on for me.
Same plus I hope he's got newer Episodes becaise I'll be binge watching them all day
.
Derren once made a sausage appear in my mouth
Aah I know that one. It's a classic misdirection. You see, the trick really isn't making the sausage appear in your mouth. The real trick is making you believe it's just a sausage. :D
:-D
The real trick was making him think it was his idea
- "Don't try to bend the sausage, it's impossible,
Instead try to realize the truth
- What truth?
- There is no sausage"
@@primalpunk2958 genuinely lol.
At 5:56 I feel like he planted a clue when he said Yes I am going to change that implying that is yes and that he was going to change that to a No. This might be a negative suggestion that Steve would refuse to believe thinking it was an attempt to throw him off and that is maybe why also refused to change his mind later on.
20:34 now thats some quick hands!
The first one is fairly simple I believe. It is, we the audience, that are being tricked into thinking that Matt doesn’t know what the cards are and is being asked to think of 3 cards. What is actually happening is massive change in perception between what happened and what we think is happening. Imagine there were 2 different tricks filmed. One trick featured Matt knowing what the cards were and had a part where he was asked to recall them. That is what we are seeing. We think Matt is being asked to randomly choose 3 cards. But what was going on was Matt was being asked to remember his 1st, 2nd and 3rd cards that were face down whilst Darren was confusing him. The other trick would be very similar but featured different elements such as Matt shuffling the cards randomly. Then elements from these two different tricks are edited together to form a seemingly impossible trick. Notice the keys and pen move positions throughout. Since the two tricks are similar and both good in their own right, once it is broadcast Matt will have forgotten the details and think it looked how it happened. He would have been told only 1 of tricks would be chosen for broadcast whereas it’s elements from both tricks spliced together to form the impossible
OMG MATT LUCAS!
i'm sorry but for me it did not conclude in the stephen merchant cliip. could somebody tell me which card it was?
The BMX thing really shows you how advertising can sneakliy get you to buy what they want you to...
They note was replaced, so obviously they read it. Duh. The subliminal nonsense is just his trademark he uses in many of his tricks and never has anything to do with the trick itself. It's just the "bullshit" explanation.
The BMX is quite easy to figure out. I actually guessed way before the reveal. He talks really quickly but in there I heard the words handle and bar almost together, and "beaming with excitement" (b-m-x) very early on. Once you hear the first clue the rest fly in from all directions.
I stopped it at 13:09 and IDK if Brown further reveals how he did it, but honest to God, this is the first time I have seen this particular stunt of his and I guessed he was going to say BMX bike because as I was watching it it became obvious to me that he was using NLP and each time Brown tapped him on the arm or wherever, it was to punch up a particular word or part of a word he was saying. I took note of what those words were as it was going along. I also noticed that he was not just babbling nonsense as he held his other hand to the table. He was locking him in and slightly hypnotizing him, and giving him the very clear suggestion that no matter what he had written down on that piece of paper beforehand, what he REALLY wanted was a BMX tat he had been suggesting to him rater overtly. e hypnotized him into simply believing that that overcame whatever he actually wanted. And then, if you notice, he taps him again and says a few key words to snap him out of the trance just prior to opening the envelope, leaving him with the resonating feeling (or in this case, post-hypnotic suggestion) that indeed he wanted a BMX all along. Just read up on NLP and hypnotism. Any of this can be easily done and is all the time. (Despite beliefs that one cannot be hypnotized against one's will). You most certainly can.....and are.
He had written his signature over the flap of the small envelope.
@Normal Misha Because then you have to explain how someone can forge both his handwriting and signature well enough to fool him while he's looking for anything to explain what could have happened, not to mention switch it into his wallet without him noticing
What he says when he's talking to him is epic.....he says words in a way to make things sound like bike and other things about said bike it's fuckin EPIC
What separates Derren Brown from literally every other magician on the planet is that he absolutely insists on showing the audience how he does his tricks as he's doing them, the clearest example is the sharp camera cuts to Simon Peggs arm every time he taps it, I didn't quite get what it was but I knew it was going to be something that ended in 'x'
100% not the first time martin kemp has blindfolded somebody ....
He is so elegant.
the second guy looks crazy
It's wheatley from portal 2. He's also the writing partner of ricky gervais
Weird...when he was with Simon Pegg, I was thinking of a bike because of the wheels turning within Simon's view and all the circles everywhere.
9:44 "even though two days before they said "I want x" what ever that is, or a really nice car like a BM - or a X-box , something like that. Something they really wanted" lel
That's so smart! Overstimulate the brain to the point when it doesn't know what to focus at, then you make a tap on the arm for everything you want him to pick up! That extra bit of stimulation makes your brain focus on the above average activity on those certain point, it's like flash driving your brain to make some parts of your binary brain more active. You litterally overload the brain to overload it a bit more to make certain things stick out... Omg i will try to learn this! This is pure genious!
AXELmetroidFAN also going for the handshake but breaking it midway through interrupts brain patterns and makes you docile and suggestible, and he also said "by creating" near when he did it, and it sounded like he said bike instead
I legit had a bmx bike in my head too when he was rambling on about how he "bikes" gift
12:10 that awkward moment when you miss out the r in leather 😂😂
Se7en 7 well spotted !
I know this is an old comment, but I noticed that and I was wondering if anyone else noticed. I read the comments to find out and I can't believe it took so many comments to find someone else who caught it. LOL
The trick with Stephen Fry is one of the most wonderful pieces of showmanship I've seen. Personally I'd prefer if Derren didn't explain exactly how he does it because I feel it breaks the spell (tho I can see others feel differently).
Matt Lucas cards were forced using NLP:
1) 6 of Clubs ---- DB says "pop up into your head" while making the shape of a playing card club with his hands!
Then he asks him to remember the worst character he played which is Sir Bernard Stateley that ran for only SIX ten minute shows. Matt's talked before about this. As a comedy show actor you're judge by the networks on how many shows a series can run for so SIX is the most important number to him and is directly tied his character being a flop
2) 4 of clubs ---- DB moves on quick to keep the connection to the last card and while pointing at something solid "keys" nice K sound for cards and clubs, (NLP solid = firm choice = same as before), at the same time he's point he re-enforces it with "very interesting".. NLP pathway locked!.. now he asks what the 2nd card is.. not the NEXT card, but the second card, so he's basically asking tell me a card that is two more that the last one. At this point he's not expecting Matt to answer and almost messes it up cos most people would say 8 of clubs being two more than six but then when he pushes the keys and says you can have those "back" he's trying to switch it to six, however Matt actually says the number four before he stops him but after he says "back' so he quickly shift again to say "oh no i actually do need them".. aka stay with that answer.
3) jack of diamonds --- This ones pretty easy... DB starts off my asking him to confirm that these cards are coming "right out the top of your head as I'm talking to you right now", (plant cards with heads) He then puts those other cards together and pauses, slows down his speech to separate them from the LAST card. Ok the Jack is not LAST but close to the end of the deck to so head, end-of-deck.. King, Queen or Jack... ok so he knows Matt is Jewish and very proud of it and he laughs when Matt mentions Jesus cos it links in nicely to the Jewish question.. J being Jesus and Jewish and Jack, he says "right now" twice more and then asks if he's "Jewish, religiously so or not so religiously so", right then it's Jack and what suit... well the biggest Jewish RELIGIOUS symbol is the Star of David that looks a lot like a Diamond ( more so that any other suite anyway).
DONE!
i don't think this is how it is done
i think he uses selight of hand at 0:39. he gets one wrong on purpose to make it look more realistic
@@jorrgfromage9929 yep i saw the same and am here wondering if anyone else spotted it
Matt Lucas didn't put him " Under...." LMFAO 😂
Karl Pilkington PLEASE
He messed with Karl once and tried to guess the number Karl was thinking of and Derren got it wrong
Anyone know the name of the tune that plays when Steve looks for an item to choose?
