Sorry about that. Back when I made this video the maximum length for a video was 8 minutes. That is why it is 7 minutes and 57 seconds long. I decided it would be fun to put everything in one video.
This is hardly a tutorial. It's incredibly basic and outdated. The majority of what's shown here as well as Vanessa Van Edward's content are irrelevant.
The funny thing is that when I made this video the maximum length for videos was 8 minutes :) That is why I spoke so fast. Sorry about that. I remade a better version of this tutorial called gestures and body language 2
I do my best :) If you want to control the types of videos I make send me requests. People often ask why I seem to only make programming tutorials. It's because that's what I get requests for. If you want more psych tutorials ask for them and I'll do my best to deliver. Thanks for subscribing :)
Most people aren't aware of the amount of manipulation that surrounds us including both psychological and physical. I use these techniques to avoid being manipulated, which it sounds like is exactly what you did. Good for you :)
after reading numerous books on body language and gestures I am not sure it pertains to everybody. one must factor in a persons culture and how they were raised. its very very subjective. I know whenever someone makes an observation about my mood or what I am feeling based on my body language, they are always wrong all of the time.
I redid this tutorial with tons of pictures based on your requests. Look for Gestures and Body Language 2 on my TH-cam channel. I hope you like it better :)
Might be interesting, but I couldn't get past the several grammatical errors on the screen. Several incorrect uses of apostrophes for words that are simply plural, not possessive.
I like this video, very informative. The only issue with this video, and is probably the worst part is that; the person speaking in it is almost speaking in the speed of light. It seems like he is either so nervous that he can not wait to get this over with or, really late somewhere. Educational videos need to be fully balanced to draw attention and the desire of wanting to understand and absorb the information instead of letting it pass right by us. that way they are introduced for people to understand and grasp. I found myself pausing and rewinding because I couldn't even hear some of the words, you are speaking that fast! The video is great and the information is very valuable, please have patience and try to breath through an introduction of data that way you might become even more informative and you might even be able to think about more ideas to share meanwhile. and it would also be easier to the person watching and listening, a slower voice tone is a softer and easier tone to the human ear. Thank you for this info, it helps a lot.
There's a lot of info in the video, it probably took a lot of time to put it all together, EVERYONE would want to get it over with fast. Also people don't have long attention spans, so short video's are a must. And I had no problems understanding anything he said, and english isn't even my main language.
You have no idea how much I appreciate the fact that people enjoy these videos. I remember the days when I made a video and only 10 people would watch it. It is very gratifying to have people that enjoy them :)
Thank you :) I do have everything written out on my website. If you go here newthinktank. com/2011/10/every-article/#psychology you can use a translator to translate maybe?
Yes if people aren't aware that they are being tested it works a large percentage of the time. I was part of an organization that tested thousands of people unknowingly and we came to the conclusion that it works. Even though a few studies say it doesn't I'm 110% convinced that it does :)
All I can say is that I have met thousands of people in my life. What I learned was that those people that we are supposed to dislike are very often very quick to show their best side only because I did not judged them. I have met many other people that society puts on a pedestal that didn't have a single redeeming quality. I value people purely based on whether they are kind to others. Nothing else has ever mattered to me :)
Yes I agree. I have commented numerous times here that base lining is extremely important. I think it is very important to practice these techniques on people before any judgements are made.
I can only tell you what I experienced. I worked for a company that crafted sales presentations for phone and in person sales. We were lucky enough to test this theory with regular office managers in hundreds of locations. The subjects were unaware that they were being tested at the time. Over 80% of the managers found they could tell when someone was lying based on eye movements. This fell in line with research that found 85% of people move their eyes in certain ways when making decisions
Yes I live in Pittsburgh :) youTube used to enforce short videos, but I've kind of adapted to always cover a bunch of data into each video. I'm glad you liked it
Thank you :) People do what they do because of about 30 decision making principles. I talk about them in other videos. They are all based of of past experiences. People normally do bad things when they have a very limited number of actions to pick from. I'm planning another video on this topic. Thanks for the request
Everything here is based off of research done in the US. I have been told that many things don't apply in other cultures. I'll cover other cultures if I come across enough information that I believe is legitimate
Thank you :) Yes I should have stated in the video that to get good at this you'll have to practice. I'm working on some practice videos now to help people. They'll be free of course.
Most of this comes from law enforcement books I got off of EBay. I cross checked everything with other common books. I get into using negotiation tactics, decision making, etc. in other tutorials. The sales tutorial can work for any form of negotiation. I used to write sales scripts for the biggest telemarketing company so this stuff has been tested hundreds of thousands of times. Feel free to ask questions
Thank you :) Yes it completely changes the way you see other people. It almost made me feel like I was awake in a new way. If you combine this with knowledge on NLP it will really open up new doors. I'm very happy that you like it.
Yawning is very contagious. If you see someone yawn you instinctively yawn soon after. If 2 people have good rapport they mimic each others actions. Since this is a 2 way street and we can build good rapport by mirroring first this provides an easy way to get someone to mirror your action (a yawn) and immediately get them to mirror you. Does that help?
I worked with a company that analyzed how to use body language among other things to dramatically improve negotiations over 2 years. This is just the tip of the iceberg of what we discovered.
Basically everyone is different. Chances are very great that you are not maintaining uncomfortable eye contact because if you did people would tell you. Also you are correct that comfortable eye contact is considered to be a good thing. You also don't need to worry about most of what is in this video because less then 1% of people are even aware of body language on a conscious level. Sorry about any confusion I may have created :)
Thank you very much :) What your boss said was is terrible. I used to have terrible bosses as well, but who hasn't. One day I decided that my new goal in life was to never have a boss. It was amazing how a few years of hard work eliminated them from my life. Develop one great skill and you'll be done with them forever. I'm very happy you find my videos useful and I wish you the best!
I have no idea what all of the criticism is about. Brilliant clip, very easy to watch, great flow, mostly factual, proven subconscious reactions, and highly articulate. Nailed it brother.
Thank you :) All of this stuff comes from research I did on what applies in the United States only. I have been told many things are useful in other countries if you learn to baseline out or disregard certain things in other countries.
Thank you for taking the time to respond. I'll take a look at the books you listed. I want only to provide the best information. I however always had trouble with eye dilation, tonal changes, changing weight distribution, etc. because they can't be analyzed without equipment and a very good eye. I'm no expert, but I was able to work with experts in a very large study. I learned a great deal while teaching machines to do this work. I'll research everything further
As a homicide detective your videos are spot on and i regularly suggest them to up and coming officers to learn what is actually going on in a field interview.
I covered decision making principles in depth. I also showed how to use indirect hypnosis techniques to sell and negotiate. Yes, I love Derren Brown and I've seen all of his stuff :) Pretty much the only thing I haven't covered is hypnotic storytelling. I always felt weird about teaching it to just anyone. If you have ideas on videos, you should make them and maybe make a few bucks. I'd happily promote them for free if I like them
Thank you :) Yes I spent a great deal of time testing what you can accomplish with NLP. It definitely provides an excellent set of skills. I'm amazed more people don't know about it.
Hmm, a person reading extremely fast during a presentation indicates that he/she is bored and simply wants to get through the mundane task.
Back when I made this video TH-cam had a max length of 8 minutes for videos. That is why I was forced to talk so fast. Sorry if you didn't like it
Even if is from 2010 and you are talking fast, I like the style, it's a good presentation, congrats !
I think its perfect
Do 2 videos then
Antlerbob it’s a lot of information for me if he went slow I would become uninterested. But speaking faster keeps me engaged in what he is saying.
Sorry about that. Back when I made this video the maximum length for a video was 8 minutes. That is why it is 7 minutes and 57 seconds long. I decided it would be fun to put everything in one video.
USE ILLUSTRATIONS INSTEAD OF JUST EXT
I dramatically improved on this video with Gestures and body Language 2. It is nothing but video and pictures. I hope you like it :)
This is the best body language tutorial I've seen yet! Good job Derek!
+Justin Short Thank you :)
This is hardly a tutorial. It's incredibly basic and outdated. The majority of what's shown here as well as Vanessa Van Edward's content are irrelevant.
The funny thing is that when I made this video the maximum length for videos was 8 minutes :) That is why I spoke so fast. Sorry about that. I remade a better version of this tutorial called gestures and body language 2
Some visuals would've made it way easier. Hard to visualise with some of the descriptions you used.
I do my best :) If you want to control the types of videos I make send me requests. People often ask why I seem to only make programming tutorials. It's because that's what I get requests for. If you want more psych tutorials ask for them and I'll do my best to deliver. Thanks for subscribing :)
Nice to see someone talking my comfortable speed, hard to find people like you these days
I do my best to not waste time
Derek Banas Same
Sorry you didn't like it. TH-cam used to limit the length of videos and I just adapted to make all my videos fast
I like it but can you use visual examples in the future please.
Most people aren't aware of the amount of manipulation that surrounds us including both psychological and physical. I use these techniques to avoid being manipulated, which it sounds like is exactly what you did. Good for you :)
might be troublesome but I wish there was some photos to represent what movements are which, it can be quite confusing for me
Gestures and Body Language 2 is nothing, but pictures. I made this years ago, before I figured out how to make better videos. Sorry you didn't like it
after reading numerous books on body language and gestures I am not sure it pertains to everybody. one must factor in a persons culture and how they were raised. its very very subjective. I know whenever someone makes an observation about my mood or what I am feeling based on my body language, they are always wrong all of the time.
agreed but nice to know how normal average people are and how they react to things
Thank you :) Feel free to leave tutorial requests
Simple and very informative, but pictures are needed!
I redid this tutorial with tons of pictures based on your requests. Look for Gestures and Body Language 2 on my TH-cam channel. I hope you like it better :)
Might be interesting, but I couldn't get past the several grammatical errors on the screen. Several incorrect uses of apostrophes for words that are simply plural, not possessive.
Thank you :) check out gestures and body language 2. It has tons of pictures. I plan on making more videos like this
Talk Slower please.
Hector Ortega on god i had to rewind so many times dude doesn't give us enough time to process what he's saying and jumps from subjet to subjet
That's a bit like Vsauce as well
Check out Gestures and Body Language 2 on my TH-cam channel. It is exactly what you asked for. It has tons of pictures and it is slower
In the video it shows that "the knee points towards what you don't prefer", while he says "what you do prefer".
The knee points towards what you don't prefer
Derek Banas Oh, ok. Thank you!
Valerie S No problem. Sorry about the mistake.
I have a ton of information on nlp on my TH-cam channel and my site. Aside from that there are a ton of books
Great video,Very interesting, and if you go a little slow it will be much better to understand
Thank you :) Sorry about the speed

This finally gives me an excuse to look at legs.
That's funny :)
All hoot girls are hereeee => twitter.com/ca08c2b4ff607b5e2/status/801992405775826944 Gestures aaaand Body Languagee Tutorial
Yes absolutely. We are measuring discomfort. The goal is to see if the discomfort level increases after they answer a question
Good but it would be better with pictures
Thank you :) Here it is with pictures and video th-cam.com/video/czFBARHgp68/w-d-xo.html
You have no idea how much I appreciate the fact that people enjoy these videos. I remember the days when I made a video and only 10 people would watch it. It is very gratifying to have people that enjoy them :)
What the hell man, do you know everything? Nice video, congrats :)
Thank you :) I do have everything written out on my website. If you go here newthinktank. com/2011/10/every-article/#psychology you can use a translator to translate maybe?
Why are you talking so fast?
When i made this video TH-cam videos had a time limit
Derek Banas I like the fast pace everything else out there is too slow
oldsoul247 I do my best to make original videos. I'm glad you enjoy them.
Sorry Gestures and Body Language 2 is easier to understand if you are still interested :)
It's just purely words no actual demonstration.I would suggest an actual demonstration on this video so that learning would really occur.
Thank you :) I also cover this stuff with a ton of pictures and videos in Gestures and Body Language 2. I hope you like it
you are so fast although your presentation is wow
wambua nichodemus Thank you :)
You are correct that judgements shouldn't be made based on just one sign. They should be looked at as a group. Your points further reenforce that
THIS THIGN SHOULD BE REMOVED WHAT IF ONE DAY ROBOTS OR ALIENS USE THIS TO MIMIC HUMAN BEHAVIOUR THIS IS BAFD omg
***** That's funny :) Maybe they already have?
we will never know!! O_O
cuz that's not already happening 😎
^ says the robot.
***** is a robot and he is just saying those things so that no one will expect him
Yes if people aren't aware that they are being tested it works a large percentage of the time. I was part of an organization that tested thousands of people unknowingly and we came to the conclusion that it works. Even though a few studies say it doesn't I'm 110% convinced that it does :)
great presentation but you are soo fast...makes it boring to listen to end
fauziya zubairu I agree, the information was interesting for the first 2 minutes.. Then fastly got boring and I lost interest in the monotone clip.
I learned all this stuff while employed by a marketing company. We read and tested pretty much every book we could find.
Im now a junior Derren Brown lmao
Thank you :) Because of requests I received, I made another video called Gestures and Body Language 2 that is slower and has more pictures.
Went through everything too fast, and did not explain gestures in detail
Here is Gestures and Body Language 2 : th-cam.com/video/czFBARHgp68/w-d-xo.html
It is much better
Thank you :) A new psychology series is coming very soon on hypnotic storytelling
Gestures and Body Language 2 shows the pictures for this th-cam.com/video/czFBARHgp68/w-d-xo.html
You're very welcome :) Thanks for taking the time to say you liked it. I appreciate that
All I can say is that I have met thousands of people in my life. What I learned was that those people that we are supposed to dislike are very often very quick to show their best side only because I did not judged them. I have met many other people that society puts on a pedestal that didn't have a single redeeming quality. I value people purely based on whether they are kind to others. Nothing else has ever mattered to me :)
Yes I agree. I have commented numerous times here that base lining is extremely important. I think it is very important to practice these techniques on people before any judgements are made.
Sorry about that. TH-cam used to have maximum length requirements. Gestures and body language 2 is easier to follow
Trust what is written in the presentation. We turn the soft part of our body towards that which we feel is safer, or that which we prefer
Check out gestures and body language 2. You'll prefer it. I made it much more understandable
I can only tell you what I experienced. I worked for a company that crafted sales presentations for phone and in person sales. We were lucky enough to test this theory with regular office managers in hundreds of locations. The subjects were unaware that they were being tested at the time. Over 80% of the managers found they could tell when someone was lying based on eye movements.

Yes I live in Pittsburgh :) youTube used to enforce short videos, but I've kind of adapted to always cover a bunch of data into each video. I'm glad you liked it
Thank you :) Feel free to send me a direct message using TH-cam, or send me an email derekbanas@verizon.net. I'll do my best to help
Thank you :) People do what they do because of about 30 decision making principles. I talk about them in other videos. They are all based of of past experiences.

You are correct. People expose the soft parts of their body towards the people they prefer or feel safe towards..
Take a look at my indirect hypnosis videos. You may like this one th-cam.com/video/c0KCmCnO9W8/w-d-xo.html
Thank you :) I do my best to cover original stuff. I'm glad you like it
Thank you :) Yes I should have stated in the video that to get good at this you'll have to practice. I'm working on some practice videos now to help people. They'll be free of course.
You're very kind to say so :) I very much enjoy making the videos and I'm amazed that people all over the world are watching them.
I vastly improved on this tutorial in Gestures and Body Language 2 because of input I received on this video
Yes that is called mirroring. People mirror others that they like all of the time. It is very common and it happens naturally
I agree. It is always important to baseline and not immediately judge someone
Most of this comes from law enforcement books I got off of EBay. I cross checked everything with other common books. I get into using negotiation tactics, decision making, etc. in other tutorials. The sales tutorial can work for any form of negotiation. I used to write sales scripts for the biggest telemarketing company so this stuff has been tested hundreds of thousands of times. Feel free to ask questions
Thank you :) I improved on this in Gestures and Body Language 2. It is nothing but pictures
Thank you :) It is just an overly animated type of body language. They tend to have high self esteem and are easily excited
Thank you :) Yes it completely changes the way you see other people. It almost made me feel like I was awake in a new way. If you combine this with knowledge on NLP it will really open up new doors. I'm very happy that you like it.
That is an important point. You should never make judgements on just one sign. Look for a combination of signs before making judgements
That is a great position because you are both open and aggressive while at the same time completely protected
Yawning is very contagious. If you see someone yawn you instinctively yawn soon after. If 2 people have good rapport they mimic each others actions. Since this is a 2 way street and we can build good rapport by mirroring first this provides an easy way to get someone to mirror your action (a yawn) and immediately get them to mirror you.

You also don't need to worry about most of what is in this video because less then 1% of people are even aware of body language on a conscious level. Sorry about any confusion I may have created :)
Thank you :) I always notice that the best actors use the proper eye accessing clues. Acting was one thing I could never do. I wish you the best
Yes which is a form of honesty. I think I need to cover this topic in more depth. You are all making fabulous points.
Thank you very much :) What your boss said was is terrible. I used to have terrible bosses as well, but who hasn't. One day I decided that my new goal in life was to never have a boss. It was amazing how a few years of hard work eliminated them from my life. Develop one great skill and you'll be done with them forever. I'm very happy you find my videos useful and I wish you the best!
Thank you :) I love being one of the few people making fast videos
I have no idea what all of the criticism is about. Brilliant clip, very easy to watch, great flow, mostly factual, proven subconscious reactions, and highly articulate.
Nailed it brother.
I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for the kind words :)
You're very welcome :) I'm glad you liked it
People often laugh when they are nervous and are trying to break the tension. I always liked this sign because normally only nice people do this
Great presentation.
If it’s too fast, stop take notes, rewind. That’s the beauty of a video!
Thank you very much :)
Thank you :) All of this stuff comes from research I did on what applies in the United States only. I have been told many things are useful in other countries if you learn to baseline out or disregard certain things in other countries.
I completely understand as a person that is not that comfortable with my looks. I don't know many people that think they are perfect :)
Definitely possible. I should have emphasized the importance of baselining people before jumping to conclusions.
Thank you for taking the time to respond. I'll take a look at the books you listed. I want only to provide the best information. I however always had trouble with eye dilation, tonal changes, changing weight distribution, etc. because they can't be analyzed without equipment and a very good eye.

As a homicide detective your videos are spot on and i regularly suggest them to up and coming officers to learn what is actually going on in a field interview.
Not a silly question at all. Everything is from your perspective. So your left and your right is correct
I demonstrate it in Gestures and body Language 2. Sorry I didn't use a picture to describe it here
You're very welcome :) Once you learn this stuff you'll be able to communicate on a whole new level
I used these techniques just today to spot that a car salesman was lying to me. It saved my wife a lot of money and trouble down the road :)
That is why it is very important to baseline and establish good rapport before you analyze someone
You're very welcome :) Thanks for the nice compliment
I covered decision making principles in depth. I also showed how to use indirect hypnosis techniques to sell and negotiate. Yes, I love Derren Brown and I've seen all of his stuff :) Pretty much the only thing I haven't covered is hypnotic storytelling. I always felt weird about teaching it to just anyone.
