Thank god he's not working in a job where judging distance is important. Doors in th UK are usually 6 foot 6 inches high. So his estimate was off by 100%
this is probably my favorite thing Derren's ever done. This and the Art Robbery. Not many people know that Derren runs a vast underground criminal enterprise via hypnosis and witchcraft.
This is absolutely my favorite, as well. As someone said in another comment, though, it seems like he's trying one-up himself each time he does something, which means that it would likely take longer to produce. I'd love to see new shows like this.
@@hypnotoad28 plot twist - he's been working on one for the past 10 years! the last show he ever does and its revealing how hes just some random dude who know nothings hes talking about.... that would be a crazy end to that, the greatest trickster in the world, making you think he's the greatest trickster in the world???? hmmm it sounds dumb but cool in my head xD
You can really see the relief in his eyes when he realizes it was all staged. This whole experience has probably scared the lot of them for life. Lol. At least hopefully.
It's a damn shame Derren hasn't brought any new tv stuff out for so long. If it wasn't for the constant reuploads on this channel you would have thought he retired.
I think he feels at this point everything he does has to one-up the last thing he did. I think it'd be fun if he just did small one-offs of calling up people during quarantine and playing little tricks on them just to be silly and amuse people. He'd only need one tweet on Twitter telling people to text their email addresses to him for release forms and zoom links to be sent, and he'd have all the volunteers he'd ever need from fans who'd be utterly delighted to get a call or zoom chat from him. :)
@@juniorjohnson5961 Got me imagining one of them approaching the security guy while holding a gun in one hand and rubbing their crotch furiously in the other 😆
He tells the full story when he went on joe rogans podcast, the basic idea is saying something that's completely out of context throws an attacker through a loop trying to understand what you've just said. His story is that he did some hypnotism gig, and then afterwards he was walking through a sketchy part of town, when a drunk guy started trying to fight him. So he said ''the wall outside my house is 4 foot high'' and continued saying things that are totally out of context with the situation, and it just confused the guy until he chilled out.
Honestly my heart goes out to the people who either gave up or got really really worried about the learner, then relieved when they saw him all fine.. I mean that must have been extremely distressing for sure
"Their belief that I might be secretly hypnotizing them, makes them feel like they are learning more, which is a trick employed by MANY speakers in this industry..." :)
LOL he probably felt guilty after the electric shock experiment , so him not following his impulse to rob the must have made him feel better about himself
Yes good point. I guess they would have just said "I don't know why I did it" or "I didn't think about it I just did it" because it was all Derren's subconscious conditioning that really made the decision for them
@@samwh.9611 Well they were also motivated by their own desire for money. Somebody who didn't have a strong desire to have a ton of money wouldn't have done it. So I'm sure they would be able to trace back their psychological experience to a degree that makes sense.
just now i've finished a 5-day marathon watching pretty much everything there is on derren brown. you are one of my favorite people on earth. and to see you just uploaded the very first video that got me hooked,i call this divine providence!
Only 62 comments. Wow...I would've expected thousands. Darren Brown is, in my opinion, one of the most powerful people on the planet..and one of the most effective. From paying for high dollar jewelry with blank pieces of paper, to training an average guy to place 2nd in a world class pub trivia competition in two weeks, to the advertisers and subliminal marketing....Darren is flawless in his overall execution and acheiving the end game. The grandmaster chess tournament was by far the best example of his genius. He a remarkable human being...
derren's one of the most powerful people on the planet? man, he really has you fooled doesn't he? use your brain for a second! if derren's stunts were real then you would be right, but there is a reason that magicians are NOT the most powerful people on the planet!
What an absolute classic. Watched this as a 19 year old, 22 now. What’s insane is, coming back to this with “wiser” eyes, even though i’ve not learned too much, and thought I’d forgotten this show, i’ve noticed so many of the workings in this in my own life, especially in the past 3 years
this just shows that the human brain is extremely fickle and when in the hands of a psychological genius and manipulator that many people can be taken control of. Its like a violation of the mind, knowing how it works, knowing how to program it like a computer, its very very scary.
It's not real! You really think this works? The real trick of the show is making you believe Derren. They're paid actors. His gimmick is to make the audience believe that he is genuinely telling the truth when he's not. In reality the people "manipulated" know the truth but the audience are deceived thinking they know better. Clever, eh? Teller criticises him for deliberately deceiving the audience with pseudoscience babble. Look it up!
@@19822andy that's exactly why he's smart though. He manipulates the audience into believing it by making them think they are in on something, when that is quite the opposite of the truth
shop assistant: okay buddy we just saw you give em back the guy (i forgot his name): MY WALL ISN'T 4 FOOT HIGH! Shop assistant: I never asked that guy: i just thought that would work....
Holy shit, the guy at 28:20 has probably been sealed off from his emotions for so long, but they broke through. He reverted to a confused little boy for a minute
Derren, if you see this I would just like to say that my friends and I love your work. This episode is by far my favorite because you can feel the energy yourself. I hope to see new content after the pandemic, in the meantime I will be binge-watching your content. Keep up the fantastic work!
Beginning at 1:30 Derren explains that hypnosis cannot be used to force someone to do something that they would not normally do but in 2011 he proves that through hypnosis, a person can be hypnotized to be an assassin. This show, the Heist was filmed in 2006 and "The Assassin" was filmed in 2011.
Surely that just means that that person used in The Assassin would in some way subconsciously be able to assassinate someone given the right circumstances? Humans are deceptively immoral creatures
True. But given the ignoramus on one of Derren's other shows who thought Africa was a country, I'm not entirely surprised. Some people's level of general knowledge and awareness of the world is shocking.
One of the things I found the most interesting is... the chick who was familiar with the Milgrim experiment. She pretended not to be until the halfway point. So she essentially wanted to please and go along with the program. I wonder what made her stop at that point? One of the reasons why I theorize she wouldn't pretend to not know about the experiment and stop the shocking out of the gate is... then she wouldn't be selected for the heist, but the shocking got to the extreme where she was unwilling to pretend to be hurting someone to that degree because she knows how it will appear so she met the dilemma halfway. the vast majority of social experiment are flawed to varying degrees for that very reason. Even the original Milgrim experiment... with every subject there's going to be varying degrees of how much each person believes they are actually shocking another subject. Are those who stopped the shocking right away the most virtuous, or perhaps the most the gullible? I'm sure all subjects are toying with all possibilities and perhaps they conclude that even if there's a 5% chance that they're hurting someone they'll stop. Butt irregardless the blatant flaw in the Milgrim experiment is that it assumes that everyone 100% believes they are shocking someone and they proceed onwards. Obviously it's more difficult to pull off a genuine millgrim experiment these days, but even in the days of the original experiment all subjects knew that they were partaking in an experiment and within that experiment a man with a lab coat is telling them to go through with an alleged shocking, but he's not at all worried about it, should I be? The ideal goal would be for each subject to 100% believe they are shocking someone else, but that's an unknown variable in the milgrim experiment. And in terms of what that means when it comes to society at large? If one needs a social experiment to prove compliance and obedience to authority in a society then you're pretty unobservant and there's a good chance you blend in with that portion of society who obeys.
We can't know the REAL person involved but his character as portrayed here is precisely the character of the police and military men: They will be as evil as they can safely get away with being. He is not a risk taker. He is, in his own words, "a good doggie". And like other dogs, he is only too happy to avenge himself against his braver and smarter betters when sanctioned by the Law (Human or Divine). The 3 characters at the end all thought for themselves. The Security Guy had no humane qualms about shocking someone possibly to death just a few liability concerns. Frump Hair may have passed on the security van for any number of reasons but his disappointment at not being able to torture somebody to death when Officialdom sanctions it is telling, as I said before. Though, again, I would remind you that we saw a television show. I am referring to the character on the show, not the person supposedly portrayed by the character. The balding fellow did nothing wrong at the end more than anyone else. Besides, it sounded like he was the only person who got talk back from the security guard on the floor. And it goes without saying that every single woman went all the way through to the end. Nobody should be surprised. Most of us persecute people whom are rumored to think for themselves. After all, some of them dress funny, many act awkwardly. Some even say things out loud that we all know are true but none of us say. What kind of person would say something like that out loud? Well, an odd person to be sure. A scary person. Not. One. Of. Us. And if authority says that it's good to get rid of them then we'll breathe the sigh of relief as we throw them off the cliff. We tend to imagine that most of the evil comes from people who think for themselves. Because, after all, who else would rob a security van except for someone who thinks for himself? .... Oh, that's right. Anybody who's social circle reinforces for him or her that it is okay to rob a security van That's who. In 1933 there was one man in Germany who thought for himself and spoke up bravely when he disagreed with official morality. And there were tens of millions of good German citizens and law-abiding patriots. How many people did Hitler kill vs how many people did good loyal and law abiding and ethical German patriots kill? Hitler killed no one. The tens of thousands of German men, women and children employed in keeping the accounting books and distributing the dolls to good German homes, and rhe mothers who acceoted thise dolls and gave them to their daughters..... THEY are the killers. And all they needed was permission. It's people who DO reflexively obey their sociey's cultural rules who do most of the hurt --- every single day. But they are the majority And the great thing about being part of the ruling majority is that at no moment in history were they ever wrong.
When you want a few player to help you with your setups in GTA 5 however somebody disconnects after you have robbed the whole place and all you need to do is drive away.
The guy at the end said he was a, ‘good person’, regarding a limit applied at the stealing of sweets, versus stealing from the Bank of England, and yet it was noted he was the one who gave out the shocks to others’, most easily. So, given that the difference in the two is responsibility and detriment based - as in, with the shocks, the detriment (pain) was not Dannys’ to deal with and the responsibility FOR that detriment, he was informed was not and would not be, on him either. Stealing from the Bank of England, the potential detriments of, and responsibility for, would lie squarely and only, on Danny’s shoulders, so ‘good’ and ‘bad’ only come into it, with regards to thoughts FOR, the SELF. I haven’t seen this re-do of the Milgram experiment; it’s mint 👌🏼🥳😁
Darren Brown is a wonderful entertainer. Always watch his stuff with a big grin on my face. I'm not sure if it's on youtube but he did one where he got people to LITERALLY push someone off a building to their death to save themselves from getting in trouble it's mind blowing. I found it it's called "the push" watch THAT ONE!
And the final twist in the story: it was not actually about the guillablity of the participants: it was about the guillablity of the viewers the whole time!
I remember I visited a job centre, the staff were concerned about the amount of suicides that were accruing when claimants had their benefits stopped but could not see the link themselves.
One of derrens best projects this certainly up there with others just love the way he planned it all out and choose the subjects the way he did and then use the subliminal messages to get them to do that kind of act of course i would never do a thing like that but its just fascinating how he did it with out them knowing about it and props too to the guy in the milgrim experiment who acted the shouting out very well done to him sounded like the real thing when he was doing it scary stuff but loved it and also the stuntman as the guard did a great job as well credit to derren and to them all on that one and the way danny runs into the post in hes heist nearly winding himself in the process lol
my mind is still in utter confusion about the fact is, how did they know to get their gun out by looking at a ‘professional looking security guard’ carrying some cases? like how did they look at him n think right imma go for this guy
i think you missed the entire point of the show then :P EVERYTHING derren did to them was building up towards that moment - everything. i feel like you just skipped to the robbery part and ignored the rest? :P
How about this... This entire video is a movie, full of actors, and with a real heist approach. The thing is even if this isnt real, it serves as entertainment, and that i think is the point.
he never said anything close to "hypnosis doesn't really exist"... besides, saying "hypnosis doesn't exist" is like saying "the sky doesn't exist". you can literally hypnotize yourself :P
YOU ARE SO BRILLIANT DERREN…. Your talent & skills are God GIVEN with conversational tactics…. You have such a gift at a psychological approach. Your intense content is not only mind blowing but your intriguing & I find myself mesmerized. While I sit glued to all your videos. Hugs hugs hugs hugs

He is not a risk taker. He is, in his own words, "a good doggie". And like other dogs, he is only too happy to avenge himself against his braver and smarter betters when sanctioned by the Law (Human or Divine).
The 3 characters at the end all thought for themselves. The Security Guy had no humane qualms about shocking someone possibly to death just a few liability concerns. Frump Hair may have passed on the security van for any number of reasons but his disappointment at not being able to torture somebody to death when Officialdom sanctions it is telling, as I said before. Though, again, I would remind you that we saw a television show. I am referring to the character on the show, not the person supposedly portrayed by the character. The balding fellow did nothing wrong at the end more than anyone else. Besides, it sounded like he was the only person who got talk back from the security guard on the floor.
And it goes without saying that every single woman went all the way through to the end.
Nobody should be surprised.
Most of us persecute people whom are rumored to think for themselves. After all, some of them dress funny, many act awkwardly. Some even say things out loud that we all know are true but none of us say. What kind of person would say something like that out loud?
Well, an odd person to be sure. A scary person. Not. One. Of. Us. And if authority says that it's good to get rid of them then we'll breathe the sigh of relief as we throw them off the cliff.
We tend to imagine that most of the evil comes from people who think for themselves. Because, after all, who else would rob a security van except for someone who thinks for himself? .... Oh, that's right. Anybody who's social circle reinforces for him or her that it is okay to rob a security van That's who.
In 1933 there was one man in Germany who thought for himself and spoke up bravely when he disagreed with official morality. And there were tens of millions of good German citizens and law-abiding patriots.
How many people did Hitler kill vs how many people did good loyal and law abiding and ethical German patriots kill?
Hitler killed no one.
The tens of thousands of German men, women and children employed in keeping the accounting books and distributing the dolls to good German homes, and rhe mothers who acceoted thise dolls and gave them to their daughters.....
THEY are the killers.
And all they needed was permission.
It's people who DO reflexively obey their sociey's cultural rules who do most of the hurt --- every single day.
But they are the majority
And the great thing about being part of the ruling majority is that at no moment in history were they ever wrong.
When you want a few player to help you with your setups in GTA 5 however somebody disconnects after you have robbed the whole place and all you need to do is drive away.
The guy at the end said he was a, ‘good person’, regarding a limit applied at the stealing of sweets, versus stealing from the Bank of England, and yet it was noted he was the one who gave out the shocks to others’, most easily. So, given that the difference in the two is responsibility and detriment based - as in, with the shocks, the detriment (pain) was not Dannys’ to deal with and the responsibility FOR that detriment, he was informed was not and would not be, on him either. Stealing from the Bank of England, the potential detriments of, and responsibility for, would lie squarely and only, on Danny’s shoulders, so ‘good’ and ‘bad’ only come into it, with regards to thoughts FOR, the SELF.
I haven’t seen this re-do of the Milgram experiment; it’s mint 👌🏼🥳😁
Darren Brown is a wonderful entertainer. Always watch his stuff with a big grin on my face. I'm not sure if it's on youtube but he did one where he got people to LITERALLY push someone off a building to their death to save themselves from getting in trouble it's mind blowing. I found it it's called "the push" watch THAT ONE!
Hope you all enjoyed that. 💚💚💚💚 Now go steal some sweets.
And the final twist in the story: it was not actually about the guillablity of the participants: it was about the guillablity of the viewers the whole time!
Oh my God that is so amazing and terrifying experiment i ever seen
Darren Brown is Real life Processor.
18:45 honestly that's the chillest shop assistant I've ever seen. What happened to "we ALWAYS prosecute shoplifters"?
So glad someone managed to resist! Colour me impressed (especially as he managed to "kill" someone quite happily in the Derren/Milgram experiment!)
I remember I visited a job centre, the staff were concerned about the amount of suicides that were accruing when claimants had their benefits stopped but could not see the link themselves.
One of derrens best projects this certainly up there with others just love the way he planned it all out and choose the subjects the way he did and then use the subliminal messages to get them to do that kind of act of course i would never do a thing like that but its just fascinating how he did it with out them knowing about it and props too to the guy in the milgrim experiment who acted the shouting out very well done to him sounded like the real thing when he was doing it scary stuff but loved it and also the stuntman as the guard did a great job as well credit to derren and to them all on that one and the way danny runs into the post in hes heist nearly winding himself in the process lol
Hello Derren!
Love watching your shows. Is it possible to get that motivative state at home? If it is could someone tell how.
35:45 - "everything should now be in place"
cuts to next scene
playing 'Everything In Its Right Place' by Radiohead
This show just makes me appreciate how good utopias (uk) writing was.
“What if we just ban people in suits tonight?” Yes
This is what commercials are doing to you on a subtle level. It's the American dream
"You aint gonna do it, short arse bloke like you" was that really necessary mate? 🤣
just finished watching netflix "the push". you got yourself a big fan derren, gonna be on a binge watching spree today haha 😂
It would've been funny if, at the end, they were like "and now we're charging you with attempted armed robbery".
"You bastard Derren" most true words spoken
36:57 welcome to your final motivation session. What are those two huge money containers you have there.. not buying it.
This reminds me of that man who hypnotised his cell mate in prison to do heists for him after they got out
It took me awhile to notice but look at exit sign underneath the painting with the green van has been subtly turned into the word Excited
Imagine using that as defense in court ? Derren told me to do it !
Shit it’s so stressful to see them shoplift jesus
I am thinking Derren as Professor in money heist..
And all others stealing but without knowing anything...
my mind is still in utter confusion about the fact is, how did they know to get their gun out by looking at a ‘professional looking security guard’ carrying some cases? like how did they look at him n think right imma go for this guy
If you've ever worked in a shop or any other business that works with cash, you know what a cash carrier looks like
i think you missed the entire point of the show then :P EVERYTHING derren did to them was building up towards that moment - everything. i feel like you just skipped to the robbery part and ignored the rest? :P
How about this... This entire video is a movie, full of actors, and with a real heist approach.
The thing is even if this isnt real, it serves as entertainment, and that i think is the point.
It's not the Voltage which kiIIs, its the Current. Static electricity is 1000s of Volts, but has barely any current. ⚡
He didn’t want his daughter seeing him do anything criminal ‘on TV’
Fake tried it on my 99 yr old nan she didn’t come home with 20 grand
Was worth a try
Darren’s experiments are always so diverse
Hahaha
Darren Brown: "hypnosis doesn't really exist"
Also Darren Brown: has people laying in a dome under flashing lights, telling people what to think. 🤔
he never said anything close to "hypnosis doesn't really exist"... besides, saying "hypnosis doesn't exist" is like saying "the sky doesn't exist". you can literally hypnotize yourself :P
Derren Brown needs to make a comeback to channel 4
derren actually inspires me. maybe i can amount to something like him and take up an interesting job? hmmmm
YOU ARE SO BRILLIANT DERREN…. Your talent & skills are God GIVEN with conversational tactics…. You have such a gift at a psychological approach. Your intense content is not only mind blowing but your intriguing & I find myself mesmerized. While I sit glued to all your videos. Hugs hugs hugs hugs
43:29
Ouch! That looked kinda painful! 😂😂😂
