Actually i think its becouse the first time he hits he makes her draw something second answer anquestion so what i belive is its a trigger like when the table is slpped do something
He was using negative psychological pressure. Telling her things like "Don't press that button" or "Draw me another cat". He was trying to pressure her into focusing solely on the button and succumb to the urge to press the button instead of just leaving it alone.
I think so too, the contestant has to be easily suggestible. Derren kept pounding the table, and clicking his pen, imitating the sounds and gestures of pushing the button. So it wasn't just negative suggestion.
Bucket Of Randomness Neither would almost any other person, regardless of regression tactics. I’m pretty sure that they told her to push the button in advance
Here's an idea I didn't see mentioned in the comments. Perhaps, he convinced her that the cat would be electrocuted if she did not push the button. All of the distractions served to confuse her and by the time she's left alone she can't remember if the button kills the cat or prevents it from being killed. Countdowns are usually associated with something imminent and negative. In the final moments she's forced to make a decision about what she thought she heard. It's hard to pay attention when the stakes are high. A follow-up interview would have been interesting.
Agreed. It's likely there was some suggestion / hypnosis before she entered the room where he firmly inplants in her mind that she is to press the button at one second. He may have even said to ignore everything else once she enters the room. All this other stuff then becomes misdirection. It's a classic Derren trick to tell/suggest to the audience the method is one thing (clicking the pen, regression to childhood etc) when in reality it's something different. Film it a few times with different people and select the one it worked best with.
It’s a paid actor; they are just trying to show the psychological hypotheses of Darren Brown and others. Please don’t think this it wasn’t a paid actor
I feel like this would only work on a specific type of person susceptible to mind tricks like this. If I was in this situation I would just "well ok, I'll take this chair, drink my soda and chill for the 5 minutes"
(1) Give her squash instead of tea to make her feel like the childish one (2) Make her draw something like a child would (3) Make her remember being a child, and suggest being naughty and mischievous (4) Tell her that feeling is good, and she'll comply. (5) Indulge that feeling. She's now in a childlike state (6) Add pressure on her by adding the timer (7) Let her be alone with the cat (8) Her curiosity gets the better of her (9) Jackpot..?
ItsYuBBoi also, the way he says «dont press the button» before leaving And the constant pen clicking. Or smashing the table, as if he presses the button.
I wish I could do something like this. Watching other people, you think "Oh, it would be easy, just don't press it" but I wanna experience what the people in Derren's videos experience to see how I would react then
He regressed her back to a more mischievous and rebellious state, and left her alone with the command “whatever you do, don’t press the button” to linger in her mind
@@spurdosparde8197 Derren Brown doesn't fake his stuff. He does these experiments with hundreds of people, and very few of them actually succeed. After that, they just pick the best successful one for TV.
Do u see how hes clicking his pen, and slapping the table. He slapped the table to imitate a button there, and was clicking the pen to show her its satisfying
If I were on the show: Derren: "Remember, don't kill the kitten." Me: "OK." **WALKING OUT OF THE ROOM 5 MINUTES LATER WITH 500 POUNDS AND A NEW KITTEN**: "The fuck was that weirdos problem? "
i don’t understand. it’s so easy to not kill the kitten in the first place, but with money on the table as well? it just doesn’t make sense. this seems fake.
The orange squash was chosen as a very powerful sensory link to her childhood. Most adults don't drink squash, it's something most people were given as children. The same with the drawing. Even the way he was talking to her "do you want to write your name at the bottom as well? Then we know it's yours" - talking to her like a child. Her concentration is mainly on drawing, so she would be most succeptible to this influence. We are watching this situation detatched through video recording. She is in it, with no hindsight. Furthermore, she has probably been pre-selected through a previous series of tests to narrow down the most easily influenced people. This is not staged. It's real.
I would suggest that actually people of weak character would cave in. In the same sense some people can‘t stay on a diet while others keep mute for years.
Charlie Fiction I too have a problem about being too "tough". Once I saw a truck slamming in a pole, causing a fire burning the driver, for some odd reason I laughed at the burning man. Also, my dad told me that our house was on fire, I didn't even care, when I got home, to my suprised it was just a false alarm. Being too "tough" is a nightmare, I don't know what to feel or when to feel the right emotions. For example: I feel sad and I happy in an instance and without any apparent reason. Please tell me I'm not insane. P.S. I'm thick headed aswell :)
R3AP3R that’s not tough that’s emotionless. Tough means you have control over your emotions, so you don’t display them in times where you don’t need to, or having the will to keep moving or doing even if you have to fight your emotions
I'm sorry, I don't fully understand why she had the urge to push the button. I get that the power of suggestion is powerful, but it has its limits. You can't use suggestion to make person to do something that they are morally against doing. The girl clearly liked the kitten, so I don't see what made her disregard it. I was trying my best to play along and put myself in the place of her, but the only thing I could see that would manipulate me might be the timer, since it would trigger urgency, but I couldn't understand what else would make her want to push the button. At first, I thought he was using subliminal messaging through sound, but apparently there wasn't anything like that at play. I guess the only way to know is to actually be there.
"You can't use suggestion to make person to do something that they are morally against doing" Actually you can and it happens all the time. Are you always 100% of the time doing what you believe is morally correct? Has anyone ever convinced you to lie? Cheat? Etc.
Me in that situation: grab button, unplug it, throw it into the side of the box opposite the kitten, break glass further, grab kitten, out the door, go home, “hey mom, I got a free kitten”
Amy B he used negative psychology which is when you say don’t do something and they automatically want to do it. Like when you say to a child don’t touch that pen,even if they didn’t want to Touch the pen the child will want to touch that pen because they were told not to touch the pen and they are so focused on that not touching that pen . Well it’s the same with that woman he made her think of when she was bad as a kid and did something she wasn’t suppose to do. He made her feel that feeling again. Then he put a timer in the room, so then women’s mind automatically thinks to react before the timer goes down (press the button) and with her thinking don’t press the button over and over it cause her to push the button. so basically no matter how much we try and not do it our brain reacts before you
Patrick Neave I am American and I understood this perfectly. Please don't assume that just because one person didn't understand that a whole country is stupid. Thank you.
Paul Chrisholm How dare you assume that I am stupid???? You don't know me, I can bet you don't know americans if you are agreeing with this Patrick Neave guy, so how can you know that I am stupid? For all you know, I could be the most successful person in America right now. Now, I'm not saying that I am, but I suggest that you don't go around accusing people of being what they aren't. I am not stupid. I do not want to start an argument; if you reply to this, I will not be responding.
I mean, (if the urge to rebel was so strong) why not just take the cat out of the box and then press the button? That'd be twice as rebellious, plus the cat would be fine. It's a win/win.
It'sArturs z She didn't want to see it die so much she pressed the button in 0.01 So she didn't want to kill it she wanted to play with her but she didn't want it die so she pressed it on the last second you see her crying she likes the kitten
Everybody has their own choices and mistake, who would not press the button for a 500 pounds, damn! Would hella press the button not even a minute. I sound like a piece a shit right? Now I'll say this. A button that would kill a kitten but a button that would end world hunger, both makes you a piece a shit since its about "LIVES".
I still can't understand why it is so hard not to press the button. I know about the tendency to think about the things you're trying to avoid thinking about (something like the ironic process theory, I dunno), but once it comes to hurting others or _doing_ something in general, I can't see why it is so hard not to! Thinking about something is waaay less controllable than actually doing it. Doing (or not doing) something is much easier to control. And I don't think that the clicking of the pen, the slamming on the table, the authoritative vibe, etc. are enough motives to do that.
Bucket I believe that it was because if the time went out it would kill that kitten idk i really wasnt listening all i knew she would get the momey if she didnt kill the lil kitty😍
I literally just searched the comments to see what happened because I have really bad anxiety and this scared the crap out of me. Why did I even choose to watch this.
2:44 i think around here is where Derren started hypnotizing her. It looks like she starts acting child-like from this point on; the giggling and fidgeting.
You dont want to but he psychologically pressures you into pushing the button. She seemed like she loved the kitten but she was curious enough to touch the button
+fatsamcastle intersting - if you read his books he is not 100% sure people can be hypnotised even though its what he started out doing. Its more being compliant in a suggestive state as the expectation of going to a hypnotist sets the scene etc
A random person that likes mEmEs I know but, I would want to keep it and, I wouldn’t have known so even if I didn’t it if they conducted the test again the cat might die.
Darren brown is an actual genius. He knows how to get in your head, and let the curiosity get the better of you. My god, what a fucked up show. (But in a good way.)
Sgt Pug Obviously you have never heard of, or learned about mental manipulation. He put thoughts in her head, and twisted them, so in some form she will do what he intends her to do. You can avoid this, but it takes strong mental stability and other functions in the brain that exceed the average. If you isolate yourself in a corner, you will worsen your situation
Elyas Gaming If you were clueless of what was going on you probably would have done it. I am not saying it is impossible to not kill the cat. But it takes strong mental fortitude.
Just A Person what Derren is doing is not manipulating the girl. She knew it was a show so she would’ve known he was trying to manipulate her therefore she would not press the button. Besides, derren has faked his shows before. This is either fake or she is mentally unstable.
I just.. I dont get it? Its just so simple. Just dont press it. Theres no logical reason to, no gain, and what he said to her I didn't find manipulating at all. It just doesnt make sense to me. Its not like theres even a threat that "oh if you dont kill the kitten something bad happens" no its so simple just dont press the dang button. Is this staged?
"In this box contains a cat. If you press this button, the kitten will receive an electric shock, killing it" Peluchin Entertainment: *Spams the button*
Yeah, except that's kind of the point. The whole video is focusing on how negative suggestion can affect such a resolve. You can tell that the lady loves animals, she broke down crying after she pushed the button, thinking she actually killed the kittens. She kept thinking, just like any other person with integrity, "I can't push that button, I'll kill something". However, we see how the guy, Derren Brown, uses that to his advantage when using negative suggestion on her.
Gossip Flick me as a cat lover, even the THOUGHT of someone risking a kittens life, it makes me very sad and puts a hole in my heart. That kitten is a beautiful creature and I would rather put myself in that box and have the button pressed, since I know what’s going on, vs the kitten who did nothing wrong at all.
It’s all about being in control of your thoughts and your actions. No one knows you better than you. It’s also having an awareness that actions come with consequences.
softie msp she didn't kill the kitten. I'm pretty sure this was a scientific test on how easy it is to psychologically bend someone's mind into doing something. It wasn't her fault nor his, and the kitten isn't dead.
I just finished reading a book on empathy, and having more power to be kinder to people as a result. The premise is that empathy causes us to be kinder and have understanding, that we are able to be kind to one another because we can feel their pain or at least understand the experience. In this instance, I find it extremely difficult to empathize with this woman’s situation. In no way whatsoever would I behave like this woman did. Under absolutely no circumstance, in this specific situation, would I have pushed that button. To me, it makes absolutely no sense at all, and for that reason I believe this video is either fake as f***, or this woman actually has some sort of antisocial tendency. I cannot rationalize this in my mind even after having have watched several times.
He literally describes how it happens in the end. It's unfortunate the lack of understanding of psychology, but it's done by design. We aren't taught how the mind works in school unless you want to go to college for it. Even then it's a washed down version of the truth, because the truth of the power of psychology is what keeps people under control. And those techniques are kept secret from the general mindless public.
I’m a dog person but if I was given a choice to kill a cat or not then hell no- it’s like killing a dog because both are loved in the same ways as people
I would never push that button for real

"You can't use suggestion to make person to do something that they are morally against doing" Actually you can and it happens all the time. Are you always 100% of the time doing what you believe is morally correct? Has anyone ever convinced you to lie? Cheat? Etc.
Peer pressure
Perhaps she felt it was her duty? I feel bad… mentally weak or not knowledgeable perhaps
If this guy wanted to become a killer we’re FUCKED
baar haha true
baar he is gonna convince us to kill ourselves
True
Watch him convince us to kill ourselves
😂😂
Me in that situation: grab button, unplug it, throw it into the side of the box opposite the kitten, break glass further, grab kitten, out the door, go home, “hey mom, I got a free kitten”
you could've won the money and bought two kittens.
If u break the Glass u can Hurt the kitten
Yeah break that glass and seriously injure the cat
Lol
😂😂😂😂❤❤
I’m confused on how this game works, can someone explain it to me!?
Amy B he used negative psychology which is when you say don’t do something and they automatically want to do it. Like when you say to a child don’t touch that pen,even if they didn’t want to Touch the pen the child will want to touch that pen because they were told not to touch the pen and they are so focused on that not touching that pen . Well it’s the same with that woman he made her think of when she was bad as a kid and did something she wasn’t suppose to do. He made her feel that feeling again. Then he put a timer in the room, so then women’s mind automatically thinks to react before the timer goes down (press the button) and with her thinking don’t press the button over and over it cause her to push the button. so basically no matter how much we try and not do it our brain reacts before you
@@hazelhunt4362 Thanks.
Nathan Andrade no problem
@@hazelhunt4362 Would that work with any random person or was she special?
PonyPlays2014 I don’t think it would work for everyone because everyone thinks differently but it should work with most people
you can tell at one point she knew she was gonna press the button but played with the kitten to make it happy before she "killed it"
Yeah. Such betrayal.
I would never push that button, I love 🐈

Patrick Neave oh shut the fuck up
Patrick Neave assuming he’s an american lol
Patrick Neave I am American and I understood this perfectly. Please don't assume that just because one person didn't understand that a whole country is stupid. Thank you.
Paul Chrisholm How dare you assume that I am stupid???? You don't know me, I can bet you don't know americans if you are agreeing with this Patrick Neave guy, so how can you know that I am stupid? For all you know, I could be the most successful person in America right now. Now, I'm not saying that I am, but I suggest that you don't go around accusing people of being what they aren't. I am not stupid. I do not want to start an argument; if you reply to this, I will not be responding.
I mean, (if the urge to rebel was so strong) why not just take the cat out of the box and then press the button? That'd be twice as rebellious, plus the cat would be fine.
It's a win/win.
because thats not what the producers wrote
Because its staged 🤦🏻♂️

dawg the kitten is too cute fr 💀
ye but i still dont get what actually made her press that… like i know the tricks but no way that works on a real human not a drone like here
Omg my heart !!!! I was so angry at her when she pressed the button.
It'sArturs z She didn't want to see it die so much she pressed the button in 0.01 So she didn't want to kill it she wanted to play with her but she didn't want it die so she pressed it on the last second you see her crying she likes the kitten
??? the kitten wouldnt die... SHE killed the kitten. if she letted the kitten live, it would've survived.
i mean it did live, but still
the cat didnt die tho
It'sArturs a I would not do it cus I like my kitty cat

you dont understand lmao
You had one job: Don't kill the kitten. ONE JOB.
the job was actually to kill the kitten
Nope! The job was to not kill the kitten! Killing the kitten kills the kitten! She failed!
But that job didn't give her pay
killing it did
Everybody has their own choices and mistake, who would not press the button for a 500 pounds, damn! Would hella press the button not even a minute. I sound like a piece a shit right? Now I'll say this. A button that would kill a kitten but a button that would end world hunger, both makes you a piece a shit since its about "LIVES".
Neurotic not a job. More of a test
I still can't understand why it is so hard not to press the button. I know about the tendency to think about the things you're trying to avoid thinking about (something like the ironic process theory, I dunno), but once it comes to hurting others or _doing_ something in general, I can't see why it is so hard not to! Thinking about something is waaay less controllable than actually doing it. Doing (or not doing) something is much easier to control. And I don't think that the clicking of the pen, the slamming on the table, the authoritative vibe, etc. are enough motives to do that.
Anyone see the sticky note on the box said 0001 and she pressed it at 00:01?
Kirkcel Nuts wait... fake news
That's the number of the kitten's box. That means she killed 9998 kittens prior and still fell for it one last time.

Omg so true 🤣
everything he said to her while she drew the second cat made it sound like she was being babied. he's actually the smartest I swear.
For real. Making her feel like a guilty child.
That cat is like "Yo, why you crying babe?"
She literally could have waited just *ONE MORE SECOND!*

Ikr all her friends would hate her lmao
I would say one more year
ItzDay do you watch Nick eh 30 he says what a weenie.
Bucket I believe that it was because if the time went out it would kill that kitten idk i really wasnt listening all i knew she would get the momey if she didnt kill the lil kitty😍
I literally just searched the comments to see what happened because I have really bad anxiety and this scared the crap out of me. Why did I even choose to watch this.
Well it was just a psychological test, the electricity was not connected to the kitten and it was safe!

2:44 i think around here is where Derren started hypnotizing her. It looks like she starts acting child-like from this point on; the giggling and fidgeting.
Why would someone kill a kitten!!?? I like = ❤ to cats xx
You dont want to but he psychologically pressures you into pushing the button. She seemed like she loved the kitten but she was curious enough to touch the button
@@maddylovesjokes3913 true

I've never believed I can be hypnotized, but wish derren could try
+fatsamcastle intersting - if you read his books he is not 100% sure people can be hypnotised even though its what he started out doing. Its more being compliant in a suggestive state as the expectation of going to a hypnotist sets the scene etc

Darren brown is an actual genius. He knows how to get in your head, and let the curiosity get the better of you. My god, what a fucked up show. (But in a good way.)
Tes
The producers and writers know how to make it realistic apparently
This should be such an easy challenge, if you're feeling tempted, just step away into a corner and then think about something else, my gosh
but the other option is so tempting
Sgt Pug Obviously you have never heard of, or learned about mental manipulation. He put thoughts in her head, and twisted them, so in some form she will do what he intends her to do. You can avoid this, but it takes strong mental stability and other functions in the brain that exceed the average. If you isolate yourself in a corner, you will worsen your situation
Just A Person I wouldn’t kill a cat for anything. I am a animal lover and a zoo keeper. I am a professional with big cats especially.
Elyas Gaming If you were clueless of what was going on you probably would have done it. I am not saying it is impossible to not kill the cat. But it takes strong mental fortitude.
Just A Person what Derren is doing is not manipulating the girl. She knew it was a show so she would’ve known he was trying to manipulate her therefore she would not press the button. Besides, derren has faked his shows before. This is either fake or she is mentally unstable.
I just.. I dont get it? Its just so simple. Just dont press it. Theres no logical reason to, no gain, and what he said to her I didn't find manipulating at all. It just doesnt make sense to me. Its not like theres even a threat that "oh if you dont kill the kitten something bad happens" no its so simple just dont press the dang button. Is this staged?
Chad Eats Pasta I don't know either it makes no sense
Chad Eats Pasta i'm pretty sure it's staged

No dude dont, this woman felt bad for it, that bitch Mathias KILLED the kitten! He killed it with a wooden spoon!
"In this box contains a cat. If you press this button, the kitten will receive an electric shock, killing it"
Peluchin Entertainment: *Spams the button*
They keep saying "When you push the button." and "This will be the 5th time." stuff like that their just pushing it in.
Its called Manipulation

I would kill it

+Niazkilam 98 i almost cried like a baby ;( cuz i thought it was going to die ;'(
Meow! 😺
Me too
***** wun wike =1 prayer for cat ;(
If I had to do this I would NEVER press the button even if it was tempting.
I would never do that what the heck oh my god
I would immediately kill that piece of shit
Oh, sure. That's what the lady thought too.
Yeah, except that's kind of the point. The whole video is focusing on how negative suggestion can affect such a resolve. You can tell that the lady loves animals, she broke down crying after she pushed the button, thinking she actually killed the kittens. She kept thinking, just like any other person with integrity, "I can't push that button, I'll kill something". However, we see how the guy, Derren Brown, uses that to his advantage when using negative suggestion on her.
Gossip Flick me as a cat lover, even the THOUGHT of someone risking a kittens life, it makes me very sad and puts a hole in my heart. That kitten is a beautiful creature and I would rather put myself in that box and have the button pressed, since I know what’s going on, vs the kitten who did nothing wrong at all.
Only a weak minded individual would be manipulated into pressing that button.
The Xenomorphian but you wouldn’t press the button because you’re petting the kitten.
True
It’s all about being in control of your thoughts and your actions. No one knows you better than you. It’s also having an awareness that actions come with consequences.
people pay for animal abuse all the time though simply because it's deemed normal by society
Is this saw lmao wtf
Silver Wolf hi
omg you a meme maker
Animal saw
Saw but with the hardest choices
This is totally jigsaw ya
im actually crying, weather she killed the poor baby or not, this whole idea that the cat is even just in the box is awful
softie msp she didn't kill the kitten. I'm pretty sure this was a scientific test on how easy it is to psychologically bend someone's mind into doing something. It wasn't her fault nor his, and the kitten isn't dead.
Wait, you don’t like how the cat was in a box?
I am crying cause of your poor grammar. 😢😭😭🤧

I just finished reading a book on empathy, and having more power to be kinder to people as a result. The premise is that empathy causes us to be kinder and have understanding, that we are able to be kind to one another because we can feel their pain or at least understand the experience. In this instance, I find it extremely difficult to empathize with this woman’s situation. In no way whatsoever would I behave like this woman did. Under absolutely no circumstance, in this specific situation, would I have pushed that button. To me, it makes absolutely no sense at all, and for that reason I believe this video is either fake as f***, or this woman actually has some sort of antisocial tendency. I cannot rationalize this in my mind even after having have watched several times.
who was the author of that book?

He literally describes how it happens in the end. It's unfortunate the lack of understanding of psychology, but it's done by design. We aren't taught how the mind works in school unless you want to go to college for it. Even then it's a washed down version of the truth, because the truth of the power of psychology is what keeps people under control. And those techniques are kept secret from the general mindless public.
