charltonwebster plus there’s the visuals in the background. The red was the most obvious part but the more subtle background objects are interesting too.
That's exactly what he wants you to think. I remember one show many years ago where he was "influencing" people to draw a certain thing. Of course they had free choice to draw whatever they wanted. Derren was chatting to one lady saying things like "let an image sail through your mind" and "don't go overboard, just draw whatever you want". No shock to know that the lady drew a yacht (which Derren "guessed"). As he has said many times, all is not as it seems ☺️

This was the first video of Derren Brown in action that I ever saw. To this day, it still gives me chills. The planning, the experience needed to pull this off, and that he makes it look so effortless. It's freaking amazing.
another thing he does here in addition to suggesting things while talking is that he puts him in a suggestible state by interrupting the handshake quickly and instead of shaking his hand he puts it down on the table. The way this works is that unconsciously we know what we are doing when we shake someone's hand and by interrupting that unconscious action, it puts the person into a more unconscious state where they are more open to suggestion and more easily influenced by things they the don't consciously notice such as the bike themed room or the language derren uses to implant the idea of a bmx bike into his mind.
Did you fall for the ‘plandemic’? Because it was one massive mind control game done by MANY MANY people who know exactly how to play these tricks and have been planning it for many years. Most of the world was conned. And Pharma and the billionaires at the top who planned it have made bank and got off with their heinous crimes and now MILLIONS are sick and dying. But most people are going back to ‘normal’ thinking they knew exactly what was going on 😩
As others have said, I think it was a simple envelope switch and forged handwriting, and the "psychological tactics" were just for show. That said, I think it is entirely possible that Derren's techniques shown here could actually make someone feel at least a temporary sense of positivity and excitement about a bike. First he gets Simon to remember that feeling when he really wants something, which makes him experience it in part, and then anchors it to a touch on the arm. Then he uses the same touch on the arm to emphasise his embedded suggestions about bikes. So the arm touch will create both a feeling of positivity and excitement, and subconsciously elicit the idea of a bike in him. It's not unlike what adverts do when they show you images and music that are designed to make you feel good and then show their product at the end so you attach the feeling to the product.
I absolutely think creating a desire is possible. But erasing someone's memories about something he wished for is completely bogus. Especially if done within minutes.
It's real, and it can be done within minutes, however if it is it only lasts up to about fifteen minutes to half an hour. As for the original comment, he's a grown man. He wouldn't have written BMX bike and also in a later interview he remembered having written leather jacket.
@@nicksamuel8324 Pegg wrote "RED BMX" a gift he wanted as a child, given the parameters of what the TV show producers asked of him, I am sure it made sense. His original note was lifted or copied when he wrote it and the production team bought the bike and figured out the decor and script for the bit. The forged "leather jacket" note was substituted or revealed in place of Peggs actual note using standard magical methods. Hence his actual feeling of desire for the bike and confused indifference to a jacket... Nothing was planted in anybody's brain.
@@mrhammers78 The type of trick is described as "dual reality" or "dual plot" in the sense that the participant's perception of the events is different from the audience and this added layer of conceptual misdirection is enough to absolutely destroy your brain, buddy. It is a good presentation but has many precursors and variations in magic history! As a part-time baker and owner of a small watercraft I can tell you this with great confidence.
I keep coming back every once in a while to study this. This time it was to look at the touching done here, particularly when he laid his hand on the table. ~~~ But, now I'm looking at the props in the room. Lot's of circles in pairs. That reel-to-reel tape recorder has to be a prop (6:11). It's running, but I don't see any audio cables coming out of it.
@@crazyhiphopp Just in case you're still wondering, the title is not "How to Hypnotize" but "How to Hypnotize Simon Pegg" as in specifically Simon Pegg and not hypnotism in general.
+bob yenan He's taken in apprentices before, but only to abuse them in another experiment. He coerced them into committing robberies. Just don't trust Derren, period.
+bob yenan The trick is the interrupted handshake before he starts planting suggestions. The handshake is such a normal and second nature thing, that as soon as you mess with it the brain does a double take but has no time to process what happened because Derren's already launched into his speech. It also is a prerequisite of many of Derren's "hypnotic" techniques, in inverted commas because he doesn't call it hypnosis, and I don't know what you'd call it instead.
Gordon Bennett one thing that isnt brought up much is that derren basically did a snap induction before the subliminal messaging. take note of how he quickly disrupted the handshake then told him to listen. thats why that is when the music starts there too.
certain personalities are more susceptible than others. i'm sure darren knows off the bat which person it would have the greatest effect on and who would be a lackluster test subject
@@amorphousface2401 not the only one setup of two round objects mimicking bicycles. two red round things on the table, some round drawings above heads etc. from the entrance Simon was persuaded into thinking round objects subconsciously.
@@micomator Simon did write red BMX bike and they found out the answer .Derren then wrote that speech around that gift. They then forged his handwriting to say he originally wanted a leather jacket. He effectively Gaslighted Simon.
listen to what he's rambling about. When I 'Bi(ke)' gifts or presents. Get all 'Pumped up' and excited Would rather 'saddle' for something else don't want to re-'Cycle'. Very clever shit Derren
love how Darren implants the bike into his mind unconsciously, tapping his arm while saying "handle " and "X" and slipping the word bike in there if you listen Carefully! so simple but yet so affective
Broseph McJoseph he's absolutely right. Derren even has openly said that NLP isn't how he does his tricks - NLP doesn't work and derren himself is skeptical of it. Most of his stuff is based on traditional magician's tricks. Here he'll have switched the envelope like you've seen lots of magician's do. The way he presents his tricks are fantastic though.
He even regularly says that he achieves his effects through magic, showmanship and misdirection. He does occassionally use very mild forms of suggestion and psychology, as he also claims, but they are nowhere near reliable or powerful enough to be able to replicate what he does. The intimation of reliance on NLP, subliminal suggestion, and earth-shatteringly profound psychological insight IS the misdirection and the showmanship!
When you read the techniques, you find out that the actuAl trick is on the audience. Simon is awestruck because he DID write down that he wanted a BMX bike. How Derren got a hold of the note, replaced it with handwriting similar to Simon’s, and then staged a show for us to make it seem like he did all this influencing with the red, the words, all that showmanship, that is what Simon is gobsmacked about. You have to take Simon at his word that he is flabbergasted, but more about how Derren knew about his red bike, but also how he got the leather jacket note in his wallet. Probably with a bit of help from inside Simon’s circle,: wife, friend, girlfriend. As for the handwriting, Derren is sure to know excellent forgers. But what you learn about mentalists is that the big trick they pull is the showmanship, the better you are at that the better the audience experience. Just thinking that somehow Derren had the note lifted, got a duplicate forged but with the words leather jacket, buying a red bmx bike then setting up the room with all these hints, and taking a couple days to do that, certainly isn’t as cool as thinking he Influenced Simon to forget about what he wrote and replace his wish for a leather jacket for a BMX bike. That’s what make Derren a great performer.
I like your theory, but I'm not totally convinced. However, the fact that Simon said he's not interested in a leather jacket at all made me suspicious, even if he was still under some kind of hypnosis.
At risk of making myself sound like a dummy, when I first saw this I was so mesmerised by the performance that it went over my head, so when Simon said “I want a BMX bike” I thought that’s what he had actually told Derren originally he wanted. Then when they unwrapped it and it was a BMX I was like “where’s the trick? He wanted a BMX and he got him one?” And then I thought “wait why the fuck does Simon Pegg want a BMX?” And then it dawned on me I was the joke
@@30noir I don’t think you’re comprehending my stupidity when I first watched this haha. I thought Simon Pegg really did want a BMX and didn’t know why he’d written a leather jacket instead. I literally missed the entire point because I got carried away by DB’s performance and he convinced me Simon Pegg did, indeed, want the bike 😂
@@michaelkyle2150 Well, there are layers to this... You're saying that you missed the intended "hypno trick". You didn't realize what the setup and payoff were planned to be for a viewer of the show. However, even when one is following along properly, the "real trick" is the deceit Derren has played on all of us. Derren's Plan: - Convince the audience-- and Simon Pegg-- that Pegg originally wrote "leather jacket", but through subliminal suggestions over an extended period of time, Pegg now believes he originally wrote "BMX bike". Actual Trick: - Pegg did write "BMX bike". Derren's team simply swapped the note. All the subliminal stuff is complete nonsense.
@@macnolds4145 Yeah, James McDonald Vicary, the person who discovered the power of “subliminal messages”, confessed that it was all bullshit that he made up.
So clever Derren, I love this method of hypnosis. But it made me want to buy Simon Pegg a bmx bike. He's my favorite actor. Hell, I'd get him the leather jacket too. Lol
Notice him touch him basically every time he says one of these subliminal words used in this conversation, which include but are not limited to: Spoke (we spoke on the phone) (0:23) (0:32) Ride (write down) 0:27 Bike (buy[k]gifts) 1:23 ([by c]reating) 1:47 Handle Bar (best way to handle, bar none) 1:28 Saddle (settle for) 1:31 Cycle, Two-tired (Recycle) 1:37 Pumped -up (1:52) BMX (they BeaM eXcitement) 1:57 (a nice car like a BM or an Xbox) 2:19 Extreme 2:08 At the end he says "you can have anything you like" and notice Bike rhyms with Like, that part could just be a coincidence but the rest is 100 percent not.
It's a technique called 'priming' that creates a subconscious recognition to stimuli. The touching simply reinforces the subtle indications, etching it further into the mind. It's associated significance allows it to be later drawn into the preconscious and then conscious mind when prompted to do so.
Here's a theory... Simon wrote down BMX. Derren and his team then over the week located and pilfered the note Simon wrote (they probably provided the envelope to make it easy to switch, as it looks very specific), and replaced it with a forged one saying "Leather Jacket" (forging handwriting isn't hard). Then went through the whole song and dance of the hypnotism routine with all the "subliminal imagery" in the background. Then Simon opens the letter and sees "Leather Jacket" and is amazed as can't remember writing it, he remembers writing BMX. Hehe, you know it would be the easiest way to do it. :)
PolyHero I'm amazed that no one else seems to be questioning the scenario given that Pegg repeatedly says that he wrote down 'BMX' to start with. Although kudos to Derren Brown for creating a scenario where a guy says he wrote down BMX and is then given one, and Derren says 'no you wrote down something different down' and everyone believes Derren instead of the first guy. Part of it stems from making an audience want to play the game. I worked out it was going to be a bike around the whole 'two tired' line. And I congratulated myself on being perceptive and clever. And that's what Brown wants. He wants his audience to have worked out his script and congratulate themselves on spotting the 'method', which keeps their mind off the real, somewhat more obvious conclusion, which is that Pegg is telling the truth, and the 'leather jacket' is a plant/switch/forgery.
@@chameleon_hypnosis Yes, DB is playing us, and faking out Simon by forging and the replacing the note. Always look for the weakest, most obvious element. The rest is excellent, determined showmanship.
1:22 always makes me jump bc i think that denial of a handshake is what startles simon pegg in the beginning and makes him flustered enough to be susceptible to suggestion after that. Man, Derren Brown is one charismatic dude.
I tell you what would have been _really_ spooky: If they would have asked Simon _before_ the talk about what he had written down on the paper. And I tell you why they didn't do it: because he would have said: _"BMX bike"_ It would have been even more impressive to film Pegg while he's writing on the paper. But they couldn't, because he wrote "BMX bike". And he had to do it 2 days in advance so they had time to swap the paper, buy the bike and prepare all the surrounding rubbish. To think that Derren Brown can mess up your mind from "something I would like for my birthday" to "I've got no need for it" (5:35) is ridiculous. And why would you think that no one on Earth can do the same trick although Brown explains how he did it? Because it's not possible. It's simple as that. This is Uri Geller-level piss take. They just changed the paper, like hundreds of magicians did before.
LOL. Just because youre a simpleton and cant grasp these techniques that can be taught and practiced by anyone, doesnt mean they arent legit. Youre just too lazy to research on NLP techniques. There is no "fake magic" involved here. Its just beyond your capacity to understand....thats a bit sad, tbh.
@@avidadolares PS: So tell me: why did he had to write it down 2 days ahead? It really takes out a lot of "magic" from this trick if you think about it. So maybe you should not start to actually think about it, because it really destroys the whole miracle.
That is it! There are even quite easy ways to do some of the "magic" parts! But no one will believe you because they are here because they are convinced that they can hypnotize women not here because of an interest in stage magic or mentalism. Fake NLP gurus use Darren Brown to peddle their rapey wares.
One see's the art with a slight understanding of some common techniques, a few are mixed well here to produce the "magic" effect & a strong effect on Simon.... Beautifully planned & executed as always, a real perfectionist :D.
Damn that's a good catch. That would mean literally everything he said and every movement he did was all for the mental trick to work. I notice he touches his shoulder at certain points, maybe to train him. Good catch
There is so many little things he does to convince people. Notice he often does tiny little nods. Barely noticable but they are there and they often open people up to suggestion because nodding is a very positive gesture. Its the universal gesture for yes in many countries and languages. And yes is often a relaxing term because it suggests good things while no is a refusal. Then you'll notice he always connects physically with people, often by touching their arm or their shoulder. Humans enjoy contact especially if its limited and subtle. Not too much to be intimate, but a friendly touch to indicate friendship and thus, trust. its a relaxing technique design to put his "target" at ease which opens them up further to suggestion. It also acts as a trigger, if he wants to recreate that feeling of trust, he performs the same touch to force their brain to recall that feeling.
At what point did Simon ask himself what on earth he wanted a childs bmx for? Assuming he is not still wandering around under the belief that is exactly what he wanted. So powerful.
yes i see it's like ear worm. good.. i caught myself sometimes humming tunes from yonks ago,, i be thinking why when I don't really like the song. If I relax and think about it.. it played somewhere n public.
+Saint Barthélemy "bar none" "what to 'saddle' for" "reCYCLE the same 'two-tired' bottles of wine" "they get all sort of pumped up" "they BEAM the EXcitement for it" "that feeling is so extreme" "even if they said 'I want X', a really nice car, like a BM or an Xbox"
I like the title of this video - "How to" suggests it's teaching you to do it yourself, like you spend the next 20 years trying to bump into Simon Pegg for that one moment "At last! I knew it was worth the effort!"
Why do you think millions upon millions of dollars are spent on advertising. If it didnt work they wouldnt keep using it. DB just takes it to a different level.
@@avidadolares Question back: why should everyone spend millions on advertising if it's so simple to mess with people's minds? It's been a while since I last bought something because of advertising (I'm pretty aware of that because I'm not buying too much stuff anyway... and the food I buy usually is either not branded by a company or I buy things I know for a long time). But I have to admit that I like to buy stuff which looks nice. So the package and product designers kind of mess with my mind... well... just "kind of", because I'm pretty aware of it.
OMG... i was looking 4 this kinda stuff 4 soooo long... *-* .... AMAEZING!!!! and even an explanation to it omg god...

XDDD.. im so happy right now... ty u 4 this knowlege so much.. ;D
Word of caution to derren's friends. He asks you to hang out before your birthday and he's changed his floor plan for some weird ass art or something, he's up to some shit.
+Varun Seth 5:45 "if you found your self wanting a bmx, this might be why" i was simply commenting on that, wondering if it did actually lead anyone to want one, because it didn't make me in any way....
+Kieran Kelly The answer is 'no', because that's not really how he did it. Derren's distanced himself from the NLP thing lately because people were getting interested in replicating the kind of thing he does and were investing a lot of time and money into it but it doesn't actually work; at least, not to this level. It's a magic trick with a neat twist to it.
It's not fake, I don't think he's ever used plants. But it's also not what he claims in the shows. He does mostly traditional magic tricks. Here I imagine he switched the envelopes like a lot of magicians do. It's fun the way he presents his stuff implying how he does it but it's misdirection and for the audience. Similarly if you watch Something Wicked This Way Comes he does a similar 'explanation' at the end of his show but it's not true. It's just really well done magic tricks.
@@woc5767 Obviously the explanation at the end of Something Wicked is just for show and it's just a magic trick, but in this case I think it's a fairly clearcut suggestion routine and does operate the way Derren says it does. Having that much control over the person, the room, the language. It's not implausible that hypnosis and suggestion techniques could achieve this result by any means.
Mental-Magicians call this method "dual reality": Unfortunately he just somehow switched the paper inside the envelope, and had to fake the handwriting, thats basically it! ...but well performed, so it looks like true mentalism!
Simon was hypnostised before or at 1:21' , then the suggestions were put on his mind cleverly after that. You must watch the video of Derren bought many things then pay with blank pappers. Then you'll know the process of how they were done. At the end of this video, Simon was still hypnostised until several minuites later when he got out of the door.
I always wonder if the explanation for how he does the “trick” is actually just misdirection, & has absolutely nothing to do with how it’s really done. If all of the BMX wordplay is just a ruse.
I like how he says "I've got no need for a leather jacket" with SUCH sincerity, to convince us (and himself) that he would never have written that.... but does not realize he has NO NEED FOR A BMX BIKE EITHER!
huh? but he didn''t want a leather jacket. he wanted a bike....
i know this is 4 years old but using your logic his christmas wish should have been "food and water" lmao
I definitely noticed how many times Derren used the term "useless". Simon was definitely being told to forget anything else as a useless thing.
It's not that deep. He never wrote leather jacket and they knew he wrote bmx bike. The rest was just for show.

@@CarlDidur well done, you’re 100%. Wrong.
@@mrhammers78 The type of trick is described as "dual reality" or "dual plot" in the sense that the participant's perception of the events is different from the audience and this added layer of conceptual misdirection is enough to absolutely destroy your brain, buddy. It is a good presentation but has many precursors and variations in magic history! As a part-time baker and owner of a small watercraft I can tell you this with great confidence.
I keep coming back every once in a while to study this. This time it was to look at the touching done here, particularly when he laid his hand on the table. ~~~ But, now I'm looking at the props in the room. Lot's of circles in pairs.

+bob yenan He's taken in apprentices before, but only to abuse them in another experiment. He coerced them into committing robberies. Just don't trust Derren, period.
Andrew Brown Sign me up Mr Brown
+bob yenan Learn embedded suggestion NLP, but do some good with it, be ethical.
LFOVCF yeah ethics are paramount
+bob yenan The trick is the interrupted handshake before he starts planting suggestions. The handshake is such a normal and second nature thing, that as soon as you mess with it the brain does a double take but has no time to process what happened because Derren's already launched into his speech. It also is a prerequisite of many of Derren's "hypnotic" techniques, in inverted commas because he doesn't call it hypnosis, and I don't know what you'd call it instead.
Manipulation through hidden puns. Bro this is brilliant 😁
i would think this is fake but i can't accept that simon would be in on it
It's all subliminal, Derren does it a lot
Its magic, X does it a lot
Obviously. It's not like he is an actor who....i don't know....can act?
Gordon Bennett one thing that isnt brought up much is that derren basically did a snap induction before the subliminal messaging. take note of how he quickly disrupted the handshake then told him to listen. thats why that is when the music starts there too.
certain personalities are more susceptible than others. i'm sure darren knows off the bat which person it would have the greatest effect on and who would be a lackluster test subject
why am I realy happy after waching this 😂😂

Simon admitted at the end that he would play along. 😂
The real deception is when he convinces the audience that NLP was the reason this worked and not the standard tricks a magician employs.
Samuel Smith what makes you say that
Broseph McJoseph he's absolutely right. Derren even has openly said that NLP isn't how he does his tricks - NLP doesn't work and derren himself is skeptical of it. Most of his stuff is based on traditional magician's tricks. Here he'll have switched the envelope like you've seen lots of magician's do. The way he presents his tricks are fantastic though.
Finally someone gets it
He even regularly says that he achieves his effects through magic, showmanship and misdirection. He does occassionally use very mild forms of suggestion and psychology, as he also claims, but they are nowhere near reliable or powerful enough to be able to replicate what he does. The intimation of reliance on NLP, subliminal suggestion, and earth-shatteringly profound psychological insight IS the misdirection and the showmanship!
What dud he use on the thing with the kitten in the cage?
"Two-Tired" bottle of wine, I see what you did there derren
When you read the techniques, you find out that the actuAl trick is on the audience. Simon is awestruck because he DID write down that he wanted a BMX bike. How Derren got a hold of the note, replaced it with handwriting similar to Simon’s, and then staged a show for us to make it seem like he did all this influencing with the red, the words, all that showmanship, that is what Simon is gobsmacked about. You have to take Simon at his word that he is flabbergasted, but more about how Derren knew about his red bike, but also how he got the leather jacket note in his wallet. Probably with a bit of help from inside Simon’s circle,: wife, friend, girlfriend. As for the handwriting, Derren is sure to know excellent forgers. But what you learn about mentalists is that the big trick they pull is the showmanship, the better you are at that the better the audience experience. Just thinking that somehow Derren had the note lifted, got a duplicate forged but with the words leather jacket, buying a red bmx bike then setting up the room with all these hints, and taking a couple days to do that, certainly isn’t as cool as thinking he Influenced Simon to forget about what he wrote and replace his wish for a leather jacket for a BMX bike. That’s what make Derren a great performer.
Correct. This is the true method and true trick.
It's a pattern interrupt
I like your theory, but I'm not totally convinced. However, the fact that Simon said he's not interested in a leather jacket at all made me suspicious, even if he was still under some kind of hypnosis.

@laser325 Underrated comment
At risk of making myself sound like a dummy, when I first saw this I was so mesmerised by the performance that it went over my head, so when Simon said “I want a BMX bike” I thought that’s what he had actually told Derren originally he wanted. Then when they unwrapped it and it was a BMX I was like “where’s the trick? He wanted a BMX and he got him one?” And then I thought “wait why the fuck does Simon Pegg want a BMX?” And then it dawned on me I was the joke
He didn't 'originally' tell him. He kept it a secret. Though the real trick might have been in replacing that envelope.
@@30noir I don’t think you’re comprehending my stupidity when I first watched this haha. I thought Simon Pegg really did want a BMX and didn’t know why he’d written a leather jacket instead. I literally missed the entire point because I got carried away by DB’s performance and he convinced me Simon Pegg did, indeed, want the bike 😂
@@michaelkyle2150 Well, there are layers to this...
You're saying that you missed the intended "hypno trick". You didn't realize what the setup and payoff were planned to be for a viewer of the show. However, even when one is following along properly, the "real trick" is the deceit Derren has played on all of us.
Derren's Plan:
- Convince the audience-- and Simon Pegg-- that Pegg originally wrote "leather jacket", but through subliminal suggestions over an extended period of time, Pegg now believes he originally wrote "BMX bike".
Actual Trick:
- Pegg did write "BMX bike". Derren's team simply swapped the note. All the subliminal stuff is complete nonsense.
@@macnolds4145 Yeah, James McDonald Vicary, the person who discovered the power of “subliminal messages”, confessed that it was all bullshit that he made up.
So clever Derren, I love this method of hypnosis.
But it made me want to buy Simon Pegg a bmx bike. He's my favorite actor. Hell, I'd get him the leather jacket too. Lol
Notice him touch him basically every time he says one of these subliminal words used in this conversation, which include but are not limited to:
Spoke
(we spoke on the phone) (0:23) (0:32)
Ride
(write down) 0:27
Bike
(buy[k]gifts) 1:23
([by c]reating) 1:47
Handle Bar
(best way to handle, bar none) 1:28
Saddle
(settle for) 1:31
Cycle, Two-tired
(Recycle) 1:37
Pumped -up (1:52)
BMX
(they BeaM eXcitement) 1:57
(a nice car like a BM or an Xbox) 2:19
Extreme 2:08
At the end he says "you can have anything you like" and notice Bike rhyms with Like, that part could just be a coincidence but the rest is 100 percent not.
It's a technique called 'priming' that creates a subconscious recognition to stimuli. The touching simply reinforces the subtle indications, etching it further into the mind. It's associated significance allows it to be later drawn into the preconscious and then conscious mind when prompted to do so.
This is one of his best videos!!!!
Here's a theory... Simon wrote down BMX. Derren and his team then over the week located and pilfered the note Simon wrote (they probably provided the envelope to make it easy to switch, as it looks very specific), and replaced it with a forged one saying "Leather Jacket" (forging handwriting isn't hard). Then went through the whole song and dance of the hypnotism routine with all the "subliminal imagery" in the background. Then Simon opens the letter and sees "Leather Jacket" and is amazed as can't remember writing it, he remembers writing BMX. Hehe, you know it would be the easiest way to do it. :)
PolyHero I'm amazed that no one else seems to be questioning the scenario given that Pegg repeatedly says that he wrote down 'BMX' to start with.
Although kudos to Derren Brown for creating a scenario where a guy says he wrote down BMX and is then given one, and Derren says 'no you wrote down something different down' and everyone believes Derren instead of the first guy.
Part of it stems from making an audience want to play the game. I worked out it was going to be a bike around the whole 'two tired' line. And I congratulated myself on being perceptive and clever. And that's what Brown wants. He wants his audience to have worked out his script and congratulate themselves on spotting the 'method', which keeps their mind off the real, somewhat more obvious conclusion, which is that Pegg is telling the truth, and the 'leather jacket' is a plant/switch/forgery.
This makes a lot less sense than simply influencing his thought through unconscious suggestion...
Did yall miss the part where hes talking about completely replacing the memory and the feeling of getting exactly what you wanted
"Simply" You pretentious twat.
@@chameleon_hypnosis Yes, DB is playing us, and faking out Simon by forging and the replacing the note. Always look for the weakest, most obvious element. The rest is excellent, determined showmanship.

FOUND IT AFTER 6 MONTS OF SEARCHING! Victor Malloy - Different time
1:22 always makes me jump bc i think that denial of a handshake is what startles simon pegg in the beginning and makes him flustered enough to be susceptible to suggestion after that. Man, Derren Brown is one charismatic dude.
He is also "anchoring" with the forceful hand gesture right as he says "he BIKES gifts...". Its part of an NLP technique.
@@avidadolares he is a pickpocket and magician. You NLP dudes are hopeless...
I tell you what would have been _really_ spooky: If they would have asked Simon _before_ the talk about what he had written down on the paper. And I tell you why they didn't do it: because he would have said: _"BMX bike"_
It would have been even more impressive to film Pegg while he's writing on the paper. But they couldn't, because he wrote "BMX bike". And he had to do it 2 days in advance so they had time to swap the paper, buy the bike and prepare all the surrounding rubbish.
To think that Derren Brown can mess up your mind from "something I would like for my birthday" to "I've got no need for it" (5:35) is ridiculous. And why would you think that no one on Earth can do the same trick although Brown explains how he did it? Because it's not possible. It's simple as that. This is Uri Geller-level piss take.
They just changed the paper, like hundreds of magicians did before.
LOL. Just because youre a simpleton and cant grasp these techniques that can be taught and practiced by anyone, doesnt mean they arent legit. Youre just too lazy to research on NLP techniques. There is no "fake magic" involved here. Its just beyond your capacity to understand....thats a bit sad, tbh.
@@avidadolares I guess you're the one who should do some research on NLP. (but something scientific, please - not the usual internet mumbo jumbo)
@@avidadolares PS: So tell me: why did he had to write it down 2 days ahead? It really takes out a lot of "magic" from this trick if you think about it. So maybe you should not start to actually think about it, because it really destroys the whole miracle.
That is it! There are even quite easy ways to do some of the "magic" parts! But no one will believe you because they are here because they are convinced that they can hypnotize women not here because of an interest in stage magic or mentalism. Fake NLP gurus use Darren Brown to peddle their rapey wares.
@@avidadolares Keep trying! Best of luck!
One see's the art with a slight understanding of some common techniques, a few are mixed well here to produce the "magic" effect & a strong effect on Simon.... Beautifully planned & executed as always, a real perfectionist :D.
loved the pattern interruption at 5:52
Damn that's a good catch. That would mean literally everything he said and every movement he did was all for the mental trick to work. I notice he touches his shoulder at certain points, maybe to train him. Good catch
There is so many little things he does to convince people. Notice he often does tiny little nods. Barely noticable but they are there and they often open people up to suggestion because nodding is a very positive gesture. Its the universal gesture for yes in many countries and languages. And yes is often a relaxing term because it suggests good things while no is a refusal.
Then you'll notice he always connects physically with people, often by touching their arm or their shoulder. Humans enjoy contact especially if its limited and subtle. Not too much to be intimate, but a friendly touch to indicate friendship and thus, trust. its a relaxing technique design to put his "target" at ease which opens them up further to suggestion. It also acts as a trigger, if he wants to recreate that feeling of trust, he performs the same touch to force their brain to recall that feeling.
Was there a reason he took Simon's hand then put it down fast like that?
It's a method to throw off the brain because hand shakes are so automatic that it's easier to implant suggestions
Put him in a trance, switch the note and cut the video?

At what point did Simon ask himself what on earth he wanted a childs bmx for? Assuming he is not still wandering around under the belief that is exactly what he wanted. So powerful.
He genuinely did want a red BMX, a gift he never got as a child but wanted. So he is indeed still "wandering around" thinking that.

@@avidadolares Question back: why should everyone spend millions on advertising if it's so simple to mess with people's minds?
It's been a while since I last bought something because of advertising (I'm pretty aware of that because I'm not buying too much stuff anyway... and the food I buy usually is either not branded by a company or I buy things I know for a long time). But I have to admit that I like to buy stuff which looks nice. So the package and product designers kind of mess with my mind... well... just "kind of", because I'm pretty aware of it.

+Kieran Kelly The answer is 'no', because that's not really how he did it. Derren's distanced himself from the NLP thing lately because people were getting interested in replicating the kind of thing he does and were investing a lot of time and money into it but it doesn't actually work; at least, not to this level. It's a magic trick with a neat twist to it.
+Kieran Kelly i'm gonna say no because... hypnotism is bullshit and simon pegg(actor) hurts his own credibility by making this seem authentic
+Varun Seth A tap on the shoulder? What, you think Derren has a magic touch or something? Everything else you said is important.
+HashbeanSC2 do you really think Derren would risk Simon leaking the story: "Derren got me to act for him, he told me to say "BMX"
You are a genius , I'm a hypnotist project and this reinforces what I think inductions do not need all those movements and outdated standards.
sigh....
I can't believe so many people think this is fake, along with everything else Darren does.
It's not fake, I don't think he's ever used plants. But it's also not what he claims in the shows. He does mostly traditional magic tricks. Here I imagine he switched the envelopes like a lot of magicians do. It's fun the way he presents his stuff implying how he does it but it's misdirection and for the audience. Similarly if you watch Something Wicked This Way Comes he does a similar 'explanation' at the end of his show but it's not true. It's just really well done magic tricks.
@@woc5767 he switched an envelope he hasn't seen before?
@@acex222 😂 he switched an envelope he told you he hasn’t seen before… 🤔
@@woc5767 Obviously the explanation at the end of Something Wicked is just for show and it's just a magic trick, but in this case I think it's a fairly clearcut suggestion routine and does operate the way Derren says it does. Having that much control over the person, the room, the language. It's not implausible that hypnosis and suggestion techniques could achieve this result by any means.
Hey can Somebody Tell Me the Name of the Song from the beginning please?
Mental-Magicians call this method "dual reality": Unfortunately he just somehow switched the paper inside the envelope, and had to fake the handwriting, thats basically it! ...but well performed, so it looks like true mentalism!
the moment he said saddle, i knew he was trying to make him think of a bike
The trick might be that they somehow found out he wrote BMX, and the envelope was somehow switched. Then the script was written for the BMX.
Does this work?
a BM or an Xbox... was when I sussed, very close call but Pegg was easy meat by then!
The interesting thing is whether you would have sussed it had Derren done the handshake induction on you :p
Simon was hypnostised before or at 1:21' , then the suggestions were put on his mind cleverly after that. You must watch the video of Derren bought many things then pay with blank pappers. Then you'll know the process of how they were done. At the end of this video, Simon was still hypnostised until several minuites later when he got out of the door.
I always wonder if the explanation for how he does the “trick” is actually just misdirection, & has absolutely nothing to do with how it’s really done. If all of the BMX wordplay is just a ruse.
@Rebelpreneurs with Dayna Lisa It is absolutely a ruse! Why would a magician tell you? NLP doesn't work...
@Rebelpreneurs with Dayna Lisa it literally isn't NLP
