I've seen Derren live 3 times at different shows. Each time I've come away entertained, amazed and confounded. He is unique in his approach and style, and always, always engaging and warm.
One of our national treasures :)
This is hands down the most beautiful magic trick I've ever seen! As a retired musician & now practicing prestedigitator this one got a tear out of my eye...
What is that?
@@gypsygirl9 a slightly archaic term for magician...I believe it comes from the era in the mid 1800's when it was necessary to differentiate yourself as more of a charming sleight of hand performer rather than casting spells & summoning sprits
This is no where near the most beautiful piece of magic I've seen. That would have to go to Teller's shadow screen rose trick or Kim Young Min's award winning routine with sand, which turns me into a child every time I watch it, closely followed by Yann Fisch's cup and ball routine, just for the skill involved. There all well worth a watch. although Derren browns faith healing show is defiantly up there for me watching some one who's lived with pain, have a moment of relief even if its only a temporary and or a placebo fix is a beautiful thing and just goes to show that the real magic happens inside your own head
@@setamonkeytoy all good points but being someone who played music all my life makes me extra partial to this one...
@@setamonkeytoy I see where you’re coming from, in that they’re elegant and beautiful tricks, but this trick is something that creates such absolute wonder, and make you think “is this a trick, or can people just be so connected by music that is masquerades as some sort of impossibility.” Either way this trick is beautiful in my eyes (as another musician 😂) and I’m surprised I’ve never heard of it until now.
What most surprised me was how beautiful the random sound was and how it grew.
Instant chills! So powerful and absolutely amazing! As a multi musician for over two decades, I get caught off guard with music very easily. I have to admit, I cried watching the connection between them all. Thank you for doing such an amazing demonstration of human connectivity through music.
Watch it again. From 5:26, he starts emphasizing "D" words: "Don't let me see, Don't let this lot see, Don't let the camera see. When you're Done... carefully put it it face Down, writing side Down... Don't let anybody see..." Tricky Derren!
As far as Ode to Joy, though, I'm stumped. Unless it's simply the most common tune that's "traditional... or classical" that he suggests at 5:11.
The only problem with your solution is he picked his tune at 5:24 which is before Darren started all the D words. Your system would only work if he changed his original decision in between the time he thought of it and when he wrote it down.
Nah, all that is misdirection. Derren Brown's crew simply starts to softy play "Ode to Joy" via hidden mics in the midst of all the noise. Then the pros do the rest.
This was sooo beautiful. to give this man who doesn't play see just how his actual skill translates trough his emotion and movement of music by the expression of his face and eyes. He looked like we all do at our happiest moments, proud and thankful. This was great! And the same goes for the orchestra...They could also get the gratification of how receptive, musical and present they all were in the moment, together. Just wonderful!
I don't want to ruin the magic for you, but you do realize there's a trick, right?
It such a pleasure to watch people at work when it's something that person is really good at.
😊
Most of Derren's tricks seem unbelievable, but this one seems kind of straight forward - as soon as someone started to play a bit of Ode to Joy, the conductor nodded his head and gave positive reinforcement to that person who then played louder, causing others around this person to start playing it as well, until the tune spread across the entire orchestra. Had the conductor been facing away from the orchestra it would've been much more surprising (unless he happened to pick a piece they'd recently been working on).
my wife is a classical musician , she enjoyed watching this. One of her suggestions was the list that Darren had probably had~200 that weren't full classical pieces and probably another ~75 would be difficult to conduct under these circumstances so the conductor's eye would be drawn to about 25 possibilities. After that there would be clues based on was he looking at the violin section etc. If true still brilliant!
with the orchestra , as he picked a piece they would all know there is a chance one or more were actually playing a part of it so once he finds them the others will fall in quickly. My wife thought it would be much more difficult if the conductor had picked something less common
I agree, there's almost always a forced choice that appears to be a free choice. However, how the orchestra specifically started to play that, that part is still a bit mysterious based on how this was presented.
Or more difficult if each orchestra player was isolated in their own room & couldn’t be influenced by the ones around them.
And don't forget, Darren probably had lots of little, subliminal clues in and around the set also. We don't get to see those, but I'm betting the musicians were bombarded with subtle clues and hints all day!
I agree! I was kind of disappointed with the musical selection. I wish the conductor had picked something a bit less obvious. As a musician myself, I’ve always thought how this particular piece even sounds a bit like musical scales so I don’t think it would be that hard for the piece to pop into someone’s head and start playing it and then the conductor heard it and they all cued off of him after that.
It was still very nice to see the human dynamic between the orchestra and the conductor though :)
This brought tears to my eyes. Beautiful.
Derren is truly amazing.
meh
Gorgeously clever…utterly hats off to Mr Derren Brown
Brilliant, completely amazing.
A demonstration of the connection between the conductor and his orchestra.
Absolutely speachless!!!!!!
A trick of pure beauty.
That was AWESOME !!
Derren is a lovely but cheeky man. Conductor dressed smart expecting a fun evening only to be restrained in front of his orchestra.
Twosetviolin need to react to this!
Yes! Get it in the Subreddit!
Fascinating!
Yesss I love this episode!
I'm in tears...to me this clearly proves that all of us are united deep in our individual conscience as one, and with a little effort and clear intention us as humanity can create
Or like how easily we can be brainwashed as one… given over 20 percent of people are saying the same thing people just fall in line
Mind blowing 💯
Beautiful
I love it!!!
Quite simply astonishing. 😅
C4 have a jazz trio?
Niiiice
I thought Derren was going to step back and let Robin orchestrate with his head from silence to song. I was ready to see some potential whiplash 🤭
Beautiful orchestra Ouija board.
Woweeeeeeeeeeee just stunning. I wonder if it it was a clue when he said about playing scales
Yes indeed. It's a classic example of Derren's neurolinguistic programming.
The start of the orchestral piece could be one of Johnny Greenwood's films scores!
Music is a universal language but Derren can speak in alien
The mind can create the universe and the universe the mind.
Suggestion ? Very quiet music in the foyer when they arrived, key words hidden within signage.
There are many ways to influence a fairly small % of the orchestra, only a few were needed to start the piece.
Same applies to the conductor but he must see all of the suggestions which are in front of him before the show.
the only horror of this wonderful trick is that the song was cut short
Whoa
Possible video review for twoset violin?
Ok, detectives. It's a beautiful effect, but there are many ways to achieve it..
- For Part I, we know Derren has selected a specific person and prepared a specific collection of songs. Derren could have watched film of the conductor gesturing for a few specific, distinct pieces and memorized the hand movements.
- Furthermore, we don't get to see the pieces on the sheets Derren provides. He may have filled them with works that this specific conductor is unfamiliar with-- in fact, they could even be made up, but believable, nonsense. For example, Derren could write, "Gluck's Ophelia #4". Hence, the conductor has very few real selections.
- For Part II, Derren and his team have to sneak a peek at what the conductor writes. This can be achieved a million different ways.
- Also, ahead of time, they prepare hidden mics in the stage and quietly pump in the selected song as subtle background music over the orchestra's initial startup noise. Eventually, of course, these professional players will hear "Ode to Joy" within the chaos and adapt.
- Lastly, through the magic of video editing, any hiccups or small errors can be smoothed or deleted. It's possible, for example, that there were some misses or that it took a few tries for things to work out.
just scary af!
If I had to guess, I’d say he probably subtly played the music into the room while they were playing.
Yeah it was
if only passwords could be this simples
Einfach unglaublich.
Anyone else with me, curious as to what Darren's opinion is on our societies & governments behaviour respective of our common globally shared experience these days?
Very clever. Turn an orchestra into an ouija board.
He specifically says place the paper face down on the lectern, there's a reason for this, he could have said fold it up and put it in your pocket but no, it must be placed face down on the lectern (he instructs this twice).
The lectern has either a camera underneath it or some other way to view what he wrote. This is then relayed to one or two members of the orchestra who start it all off.
If not a stooge in orchestra, then it's being subtly played through a speaker at low volume somewhere hidden within the orchestra seats.
A simple but well delivered trick.
Sorry if I ruined the magic 😀
If you watch his shows, he explains some of his tricks. He doesn't use camera tricks or stooges, but he does do a lot of unseen work behind the scenes settings these things up.
My guess is that he already influenced everyone in the days leading up to this to favour this tune and the constant "D" reference was a cue.
@@downenout8705 I do watch his shows and I disagree, look at when he predicted the lottery numbers it was a simple split screen. I know he does influence people subliminally, however I do not believe that is the case in this trick, which it is, a trick.
@@MrMarko4 Unfortunately unless by some remote chance he reads this and graces us with an answer, we won't know. However he did it, it was a great trick.
If you look very closely you can see that I have no clue what’s happening in the right hand corner
Young man, and I’m talking to Darren Brown. If you’re so good at figuring shit out exactly how old am I don’t go by my social media account
Love from india
To be unfair isn’t Beethoven 9th 4th movement the most famous piece of orchestra music ever.
Easy to recodnise if your neighbour is playing it, and play along.
As usual I put myself into the mind of the composer and thought of a piece, first thought was Beethoven 9th 4th movement aka “ode to joy”
Or maybe derren planted that decision in mine and the conductors head……
Oh btw: this symphony was first played in 1824 in Vienna. Got a massive boost from a clockwork orange among others…..
So by no means is it most famous because it’s the EU anthem. Personally I think it’s tasteless to take the most popular music on earth and lay claim to it so it will be forever associated with the EU.
They call it a national anthem while simultaneously claiming not to be nation just a club for free trade………..that has a flag, Supreme Court that can over rule our own countries highest court, coopted national anthem and maybe one day, an army…… but definitely not a country.
It’s just a free trade club, don’t all free trade clubs have songs,flag, super national powers and the potential to form an army.
Don’t let those racist brexit people fool you into believing you’re being slowly assimilated into a European superstate.
And even if we were, so what? German dominant European super states have always work out in the past. Losing your national right to self determination is certainly not worth having an argument over….
Am sure my great grandfathers +uncles who did some work in Europe back in the 40s would agree.
0:44 - Oh how quaint and a little bit dated this is now, a "CD collection". In 2022, CDs are now becoming like VCRs a thing of the past. Most listen to music online now. Just shows how far we have come in the 20 years Derren has been on Channel 4.
Why shake hands with the fellow? You're sitting next to him, so I don't believe you haven't already greeted him.
If they knew the song all they would need would be 1-2 plants in the orchestra to start playing & eventually the rest will be like “that sounds familiar” and start playing that then more will be like “oh I definitely believe everyone else is playing that” so then they’ll follow along as well.
This is called In Lakesh.
Sheet you not...
This has to be staged. Too crazy
Not really progressing.
So what does one say? 25 people got together to conspire to lie about this?
I really do hope that someday science will find a way to tap into these undercurrence of thought, influence and compulsion.
All this shows a person is that it happened. There's nothing to indicate why or how beyond intent and nothing to link the intent with the mass adherence to it.
I would like to hear commentary on this from a scientific perspective. I'm not concerned at all with any religious aspect of it, I was raised in that.
I’d love to believe this isn’t previous subconscious manipulation but it probably is. He’d probably played the tune in the background of each of these peoples lives all day
Could be a very simple trick. One way I could think of is that someone hidden behind the conductor could see what he was writing and then someone in the orchestra received the hint through an earpiece and started to play the melody. And then everybody else automatically joined in.
@@HarveyHirdHarmonics it wouldn’t be that i don’t think, not with derren anyway
@@vvvss-cx1vd yep, he's way more likely to have paid the local radio stations to play it all that morning or softly playing in the lobby as they were all arriving that day... something like that would be my guess.
@@vvvss-cx1vd Derren does use simple tricks. Like when he played chess against multiple players at once, he actually only played against one player and made all others play against each other. You never know with Derren what is actual mind tricks and what is cleverly hidden pocket trickery.
I’m actually disappointed in this trick!! Would be amazed if they played something genuinely obscure rather than the arguably the most recognizable classical melody of all time…he should conduct the experiment a second or third time and see if they ever reach the same results again
Also given how schneaky the bauld Derren can be, he might have primed the conductor and the group (without their knowledge) in the days leading up to this.
@@lmc4964 absolutely!! We know how mentalism works, it’s all about subtle mind manipulation haha. No shade I love Derren Brown but this wasn’t the ‘how is that possible’ moment I was hoping for
Meh.
