@THE ONE look at the motives, please. Controlling a nation to keep companies in power, that's plausible. Controlling a nation to cover up serious crimes, also plausible. Controlling a nation to soften the moral impact of invasions in other countries, absolutely understandable. If you wanna go more subtle and less overt, how about just slowly conditioning people to be susceptible to control in general? That's one of the main functions of social media, and it's way more successful about it than any conspiracy theory could possibly be. So that reason's already taken - it would be entirely needless to duplicate. So - controlling a nation to suppose the world is a different shape to the shape it is? I always ask this question. What possible fucking reason would they do that for? Who gains from that? It's nonsense. It doesn't advantage anyone. There's no reason to conspire in order to make that happen. And that's how you sort the plausible conspiracy from the complete nonsense. Look at the motives. Look at the advantages. See who stands to gain, what they stand to gain, and whether they'd realistically notice or care about gaining it. It's a pretty simple filter. Nobody sets up deep conspiracies to control masses of people just for the kick of it, there's always a reason. Governments control their populaces as much as they can get away with, all the bloody time. But it tends not to be the kind of things that you make movie plots out of. It tends to be the kind of things that actually get them something.
@THE ONE I watch plenty of fiction, yes. I understand the concept of hiding things in plain sight. If you're talking about movies, the classic example would be the big fat cat corporate villain - deliberately consistently portrayed as cartoonishly over-the-top in fiction in order to keep people thinking of it as fiction with no basis in fact. And it's not any one particular studio telling any one particular movie "write it like this" - it's just the balance of averages on what stories do or don't get backed. That's how that happens. But there's a reason for that. There's a lot of money and power wrapped up in perpetuating capitalism. People have a lot to lose if that system ever changed to another (and the people that would gain from that shift of system aren't the ones with the power to choose which movies get made right now). That's the general nature of corruption. The incumbents always alter the rules in order to maintain their incumbency. What possible thing do they gain from people thinking the world is the wrong shape, though? The answer is nothing - nobody gains anything from that. There is no reason for it. So I will ask you again, not how they could do that, not are they capable of doing that, not have people ever done that for other reasons, and not even how they would hide it if they were doing it - the question is WHY would they do that. And it remains unanswered.
The real "Control A Nation" trick here was not sticking people to seats, it was making an entire audience at home stand up to prove they weren't stuck to their seats. That's control by misdirection. Genius. "This may not work on the internet" was also misdirection, to make the home viewer feel they were in for something purely directed to them, which they were; misdirection. The subliminal images were not in fact subliminal as they were visually perceptible meaning they were each present on screen for too many frames per second to be "subliminal", another misdirection, to sow the seed. When he brought up the guy earlier to choose a chair, a pen and number three blocks, he brought him up during a phase where the ambient lighting in the room was green, the table top was green and clearly the guy colour matched the chair. The pens were ordered in such a way as to cause him to choose a different colour, and given how it was presented to him, and his left-handedness, blue was a given result. The numbering of the blocks - watch it again.. Derren siad there are 3 blocks (touching the camer- side left bloc as he said "three") and you have to number them in any order you like from one , two , three ( on "one" he touched the middle block) and guess what , the guy followed his instructions to the letter. Replay and rewatch the subtle programming.
I absolutely agree with your comment, but the "subliminal" images were on the screen for just one frame. Of course, that doesn't invalidate your point at all. There was an audible beep sound accompanying them at times to draw your awareness to it.
thanks for telling me, waited for darren to explain the guy with the colours and blocks. i had 312 in mind too. I actually find it a bit more interesting when I know how its done.
The cleverest part of Derren's shows is how he gives you a false solution to his tricks, to make you feel smart for "getting it" while he seems like a master manipulator. I'm afraid the chair/pen trick is really a lot less impressive than it looks. An assistant is watching the cameras from backstage, and picks the blue pen, then writes the numbers onto a photograph of blank cubes, and puts the photo in an envelope together with a photo of a blue pen and a green chair. When Derren goes backstage to get the mic stands, they switch envelopes.
the funny thing is, if you're susceptible to hypnotism, then the only reason this won't work on the internet is purely due to that one line where he says it won't. otherwise, there's absolutely nothing different between internet playback and the TV broadcast, and if you're very susceptible to hypnotism then it will work.
Derren Brown is really out here trying to make us better people telling us we can move forward in life and encouraging us to be generous, empathetic and self aware
Does he? or is he now working for SAGE? Remember he made a Remain advert 5 years ago, quickly dropped when realised you dont use a well known hypnotist to push a political message
ahh, finally. the episode that terrified me as a kid, i watched it around friends and family the night it broadcasted live, and had never heard the name Derren Brown.I couldn't sleep that night, That creepy and eerie tone that played during the film that left a few friends glued down, haunted me. After that,as an early teenager,i became somewhat obsessed with his work, and slowly learned there was nothing to be afraid of, you are in control.. mostly. He honestly was one of my heroes, and still is. fondly look back on as an adult. the tone that plays during the film still feels so familiar to this day. I was always jealous it never worked on me.
The young guy giving his shoes is an absolute gent, subliminal or not I think he is just so generous and considerate. Well done on another fantastic show Derren ❤😊
Makes me remember so well in Sheffield in the late 60’s local kids making magic shows in their own garages in our area near Abbeydale Rd - and being more than totally absorbed. More magical experiences I can’t remember until watching Derren as an adult. Wonderful memories - just recalled now.
This is acceptance hypnosis, basically he didn't do anything subliminally but telling you-you're going to get stuck and to just accept it. He made you feel like this is a sign of creativity, however its a basic principle that susceptible people open to the idea just do what he's asking. No trickery whatsoever.
I noticed three things; when derren is talking to her at the beginning he points upstairs and makes the shape of a giraffe with his arm and hand. When they’re looking at books there’s a big coloured surface with silhouettes of giraffes . . Then when they are riding up the escalator to the following floor you briefly see another giraffe . . She’s getting suggestions on every floor and derren is making sure she’s subliminally aware of all the giraffes with what he’s saying
In the performance with Joe, he had someone back stage with a selection of previously taken photos. As Joe selected the CHAIR, PEN, and the ORDER IN WHICH THE BLOCKS WOULD BE ARRANGED, the back stage helper would place the appropriate photo into the envelope as Joe was making his selections. When they went to retrieve the black stands, it didn't show Darren getting his stands that were conveniently placed just out of sight, THAT'S when he switched from the envelope that he was previously holding to the one that contained the correct selection of photos.
I remember watching this live on television, I did get stuck my seat. I remember following his instructions to a tee, and then listening and imagining what he was saying constantly. It worked for me, people in my house thought i was lying, but i genuinely was stuck to my seat.
i want to be susceptible to hypnosis, so i let it linger for a few seconds. each time i got close to moving, i felt the urge to let it linger a little more because i want it to be true. unfortunately, i am able to move whenever i like lol
you wont believe why is it!!! Because hypnosis, in this sense, DOESENT EXIST!! Wow! Crazy, right? Wait, what? Ppl on Derrens shows are just pretending? No way, they woldnt ever....
Kryptonite I feel the hypnosis but it’s not strong enough to make me not move but it makes me lose some energy and I don’t want to get up but if I want to I can get up so I think it works like 50 percent on me
It's no wonder people believe he really reads minds! I like Derren because I can never fully work out how he does it, or even where to start sometimes. Other magicians like Dynamo are easily figured out by eliminating the impossible and imagining the probable, and it's usually right, if elaborate. But Derren is different. I think it's because I'm not sure what's _'impossible'_ because I'm not a master of the mind. But make no mistake, Derren is a true living legend. (And I'm so glad I can watch these for free on YT!! Thanks Derren, hope you stay healthy & happy )🖖
33:58 Didn't anyone else notice that they deliberately made everything much quieter than before to make you turn the volume up? (So the audio in the recording would then be louder)
Derren should does this same thing for those of us who can only catch his show over the internet. that would be amazing to actually be a part of one of his shows that has already aired.
I'd honestly rather be stuck on a toilet than a chair. At least on the toilet you can go about your business whenever you'd like. Being stuck in a chair could eventually be problematic in that regard
I honestly didn't think it would work on me but I took a little bit more of an optimistic approach to this than I normally do for these types of things. Shortly after the film was over I noticed that it wasn't too difficult to move my back so I thought it didn't work but when I tried to get up I just simply couldn't. It wasn't until I took my hands and pushed down on the arm rests and basically forced my arse off the seat that I was able to get up. This was before you mentioned anything about playing a video that would help us get up.
I believe Derren may have one of the most in depth... practical understandings of the different ways the human brain can work. I hope that when he decides he's done performing he puts out a book describing what he understands and the reasons he thinks why these things happen (or prepares a book to release upon his death, if he feels he will never want to stop performing). I'm talking his understanding of hypnosis, religion, con artistry, and how these things work with some conjuring tricks (magic tricks) he's done. He's combined so many different things in such strange ways that while other humans may have an understanding of an individual principle, I feel he may be one of the only ones that understands the full or at least a larger potential of said principles.
By derren constantly repeating the number 19 to the subject at the beginning her mind automatically thinks of the number 19 and it becomes the center of attention for her and therefore she wants to keep that number
I noticed in the bit before that he kept saying “two” to her not sure of anything beyond that but I do think after watching him for about twenty one years I listen for numbers or similar when he talks to people.
I thought so too but to be fair I was purposefully looking out for them since I knew the topic of the video. Like the lottery thing it seems he's just offering a fake explanation.
the whole show is a setup. he practically opens with a complete description of what he wants viewers to think. i don't even particularly like this one because the metamessaging is so thick it becomes distracting. in fact, i enjoy the experiments more than the events as a whole for this reason. the events are just too loaded. it's hard to pay attention to _everything_ he wants the television audience to be doing. *if you want the most blatant example of what i'm talking about, find and watch "the gathering". he's got a gimmick in there that makes the whole show feel like you're trying to listen to an underwater conversation.
I'm going to watch his show in April so have been to watching lots of his older stuff. Thanks, I'll check that out. I get that he's saying what is going to happen so maybe the more influenced people will be 'tricked'. In this, it is pretty blatant which I guess is why not many people went for it. I particularly liked his show where he predicted which word on which page on which newspaper a member of the audience picked.
More than 5 years later now. Derren started the video with te suggestion and did a short induction before the film started. I have been a "trained" subject for years now and I recognize the techniques used. Short inductions never worked on me, until now. Thank you Derren.
The Giraffe trick is one of those tricks that will work on some but not all. He probably tried it with a number of people but just showed footage of the time it actually worked.
yeah no it isn't. it's a magic trick, he forces the giraffe on the audience member, it will work every time as long as derren performs the illusion correctly. if you seriously believe somebody can be influenced to such an extent by silly little subliminal messages that they barely noticed then you're gullible as fuck, and i've got some real estate on the moon that you might be interested in buying.
eKko0 Guys I’m sorry to break this to you but mentalism is nothing more than regular magic tricks that are dressed up to look like psychic powers. How about you do some googling on how to perform the tricks, and prepare yourself to have your illusion of derren’s mental techniques completely shattered. They are nothing more than traditional magic tricks.
@@MultiCheeseLouise youre right. The only problem is you and i have watched lots of darrens work so you and i have the idea of this. But not all people think alike. I bet youve been fooled and lied lots of times in your life by people who doesnt even know magic tricks, psychology or mentalism. Now can you understand what i want to say?
It's astonishing seeing this so long after its first release because subliminals and that kinda stuff are well known by now. I could move my arms and legs after a while but my butt was just stuck. After a a few minutes I managed to pull myself up a few inches but it was so hard and exhausting that I got pushed back again. It was such a crazy experience. As soon as I thought yeah I can pull myself up again I got sucked in again. Only managed a few millimeters and then it was too exhausting and I knew I had to wait longer :D
I don’t really know much about Darrin Brown or how he does his thing but what a nifty little trick this would be in the hands of our government. No more worrying about who the people are going to vote for In the next election, “they will vote for who we tell them to vote for” and so on.
@@jollyjapesinnorfolkandsuff2625 hard to believe isn't it and yet it's happening right in front of our eyes, shocking how easy it is to manipulate the masses
bloody likes is still 19 people .. the number he made you choose in2017 .. its now 2020 .. was tempted to like .. but cant do . it .. .. that would ruin the fun
I remember watching this on TV. At that time it didn't really work but it DID this time on the internet🤣! Is it because the computer screen resolution has improved a lot since? Maybe the TV screen was too small and I was sitting too far back then? I recently went to see Derren's latest SHOW and it was amazing!!!
Even tho I was aware of his tricks, I just let it sink in. The first time wasn't really powerfull, because I was distarcted by thinking about how it was done and it went away after few seconds. So I tried it for the second time, but fully concentrated on this and it was amazing. But then got bored, took deep breath and just stood up.
I've been stuck in my chair since last Christmas :| Number one, I do wish Derren had mentioned the studio is no longer taking phonecalls & number 2 (no pun) that I may have needed a colostomy bag.
I feel like it wasn't about the film, but rather what he was saying. Because Derren has achieved this in some other shows of his without a video. And by saying it won't work if you're watching on the Internet, that's what actually makes it not work. Also, some people in the studio weren't able move their hands/arms either. But it was assumed people at home would, because otherwise they couldn't make the call. So they didn't apply the suggestion to their hands, whereas some people in the studio did, as they didn't have plans to use them. Also, I feel like the very specific instructions on how to sit in the chair were not really there because the film is designed for that position or something, my guess is it's because some people are more susceptible to the suggestion (which is not designed for any precise position) and when it doesn't work on someone, they can think "oh, I probably did something wrong". And it won't affect you if you don't sit in that position on purpose simply because you don't expect it to affect you then. An other thing is, what if there's a sudden power outage that turns of the TV before he unsticks you? :D Well, my guess is that that situation would overpower the suggestion, because when you know eventually he's going to unstick you, you give in more and subconsciously there's not really any need to get up. When there is need, though, as otherwise it would seem you'd be stuck forever, you let go of the suggestion. That's just my guess, anyway. I still don't know how he does the speaking suggestion anyway, of course. :)
Also, I am really confused about the UV thing. How can that affect you if you can't physically perceive it? That way it's not perception without awareness, is it? I'd say it's done differently. (All of this is not an attempt to undermine Derren Brown's work at all, don't take me wrong, just trying to make sense of it ;). )
Also claimed it to be down to low resolution from a pc screen and that's why it won't work online, but the resolution on a pc screen is actually higher due to the manufacturer acknowledging that the viewing distance is shorter and therefore needs to be higher. In fact you will find your iphone or smart phone has an even higher resolution than your pc screen as the viewing distance is designed for an even shorter distance.
I knew she was going to pick the Giraffe when he pointed out the doll houses, infront of one of them was a giraffe and I thought "That's weird what kind of doll set has a giraffe" and then I started seeing giraffe print on the walls and stuff.
Might be reading too far into this, but I find it fascinating how he so casually adds in clauses and phrases that remove legal and societal suspicion/panic. So, the mention that children under a certain age should not watch if there is not an adult with them lessens the chance of a parent finding out about this after and being mad and threatening action. I think saying that it will not work if posted on the internet (fun fact: v wrong lol) convinces internet viewers that it won't work for them, therefore already having them believe immunity creates that 'immunity' to it, and also, it seems to me like a preventative measure were the video to become viral, it would dissipate panic regarding its effects to those who do not know what went on fully. No one could reasonably then press concerns about it if they saw it on the internet and thought it dangerous, because the programme said it is not supposed to effect them at all. Finally, and most interesting to me, when he confirms with the woman that she is not hypnotized. It diffuses suspicion from hypnosis to participants, firstly, but I think more importantly, it serves to act as a statement that turns people away from panicking or becoming angry with the programme for broadcasting hypnosis on television. In confirming the lack of hypnosis (even though there was very much of it), but framing it as a question to an audience member (rather than lying and telling the participants they are not affected by hypnosis, which could actually cause legal trouble if incorrect?) the programme is able to brand itself as something that would not cause outrage or concern in both viewers and the general public. I don't know much about law so this may be wrong, but I am fond of how all of this was thought through, yet weaved seamlessly into the 'magic' effect of the 'film.'
I've seen the special before, and I know what happens. Before, it didn't work, but this time I went in with an open mind and wanted it to work, and it did. I couldn't move my hands from my lap or my feet from the floor.
I'm been watching Derren Brown very closely and figuring out how it works and I'm very good at psychology. I figured he would get the green chair since the prominent colour in the room is green I then guess he chose the blue pen possibly due to the blue chair but close to green. Then i guessed he would write 3 1 2 as its quite common for people chose this as it would be "difficult" to guess because people subconsciously think by disrupting 1 2 3 no one will guess. I'm quite good at this type of thing and often confused my friends by asking them to pick between a square, circle or triangle and get them to think of it. I'll then say okay so you are thinking of a square, circle or triangle and the word they are thinking of when you mention it, there is a slight change im facial expression because it shows interest and they eventually go into a pattern after yoy guess over and over again because they try to switch it up to something you won't guess but its easy to understand once you get it. Its fun!
I watched the video on 0.25 speed, continuously pausing and un pausing. I eventually found the image then looked in the comments and found this. I feel slightly stupid now, having wasted some time.
@@RogerCRocha He said Two to or too far too many times. He was stacking it in her favour by telling her number two was a win. Pity she read the signs for 19 instead.
I was sitting on the bus as I watched this, and I almost missed my stop! The driver was very understanding tho, and held the bus for a few minutes to get myself un-stuck.
@@ArronMurray I didn't. But he got me on that people one. I closed my eyes to block myself from knowing who has the lose. And I went for the man with no. 19. And guess what.
Tom Scott introduced me to Derren Brown with his latest video, and I am honestly very glad he did. Derren Brown is amazing, and I would never have discovered him if it weren't for that one video Tom did about broadcasting laws.
It worked for me on my iPhone 5s. It felt like the muscles I needed to push myself up off the seat weren't responding to my commands. Mostly in my thighs, and when I tried to lift my feet it couldn't lift them very high or very easily. Alone at home on my love seat.
The lose thing he does by repeating the word "two". What this implies is the second person along. Out of twenty, that's either 19, or number 2. Since he eliminated them in blocks of five he simply convinced her to get rid of 1-5 early on by pushing the notion of "lets eliminate 5 people so, that could be 1-5, or whatever". Eventually he says "two" so much, it just implies the second person - which is not the end person. Also at the end he says "you've eliminated 18 now you're eliminating the 19th", which should imply to get rid of number 19, but since that would be two obvious she goes for the number 20.
Your belief system creates a nervous response that makes you subconsiously focus on the heaviness of your butt. Then the same belief that you are stuck stops the impulse to get up.
The guy who gives his shoes and socks... ouch the FEELS! Even though it was likely encouraged by the subliminals, it still takes a golden heart in the first place to do that. I love good people.
I definitely don't think he made anyone do anything that was outside of themselves. But you can't help everyone. How many homeless people do you see in your life?

Well shite....
The young guy giving his shoes is an absolute gent, subliminal or not I think he is just so generous and considerate. Well done on another fantastic show Derren ❤😊
Makes me remember so well in Sheffield in the late 60’s local kids making magic shows in their own garages in our area near Abbeydale Rd - and being more than totally absorbed. More magical experiences I can’t remember until watching Derren as an adult. Wonderful memories - just recalled now.

Teacher: So, what does everyone want to be when they're older
Me: Proffesional homeless man
"if this gets posted on the internet" Derren him self posts it XD
Derren
Maybe, or just someone from Channel 4 running his account.
It still worked for me.
This is the plan, if you know you have no choice better control both sides, one can't lose controlling both sides
@@RonioFOX ... What?
I remember watching this episode years ago... its hilarious looking back at how much hype this got. Love this guys work!
Me 2,,derren brown is a legend,!!!
Did it work at home for you?
This is acceptance hypnosis, basically he didn't do anything subliminally but telling you-you're going to get stuck and to just accept it. He made you feel like this is a sign of creativity, however its a basic principle that susceptible people open to the idea just do what he's asking. No trickery whatsoever.
but it worked. so it was trickery. The suggestion itself and the relevant lack of it means that it is, by principle, a trick.
I don't like how Derren Brown misleads people regarding Psychology. He uses no psychology.
Thank you for your insight, "Zodiak Killers".
Doesn't mean its that which works.
I will explain it to you like this, now you see....................
The film just made me realize how dirty my monitor is.
ha ha ha ha ha
Windex is a life changing experience for us nerds. You forget the richness of colours.
Haha, same here xD
All i could focus on was the cracks in my screen lol
Derren: And the video will start... Nnnn-
RUclips: Big Macs now delivered to your door! Doo doo doo doo doo....
yeah i got an ad the second that happened
The add I got was the sausage burrito from McDonald 😂😂
A truly amazing trick would be getting me OUT of my seat!
Also love the word "try" as it's mentioned in another video how it's used to reinforce failure
Control the Food, Control the People!
Rinse and repeat throughout history.

I knew 100% she would pick the giraffe. I'm so proud that I knew what to look for. I guess I've watched too much Derren Brown.
Jungbeck
Or maybe his trick worked on you too and you just don't realise ;)
I was thinking giraffe too right as he went to the doll section, he tricked us lol
I saw a frog puppet and said that 😂 but yeah I knew she'd say giraffe
I noticed three things; when derren is talking to her at the beginning he points upstairs and makes the shape of a giraffe with his arm and hand. When they’re looking at books there’s a big coloured surface with silhouettes of giraffes . .
Then when they are riding up the escalator to the following floor you briefly see another giraffe . . She’s getting suggestions on every floor and derren is making sure she’s subliminally aware of all the giraffes with what he’s saying
@@4231jerome yeah that’s what he said
In the performance with Joe, he had someone back stage with a selection of previously taken photos. As Joe selected the CHAIR, PEN, and the ORDER IN WHICH THE BLOCKS WOULD BE ARRANGED, the back stage helper would place the appropriate photo into the envelope as Joe was making his selections. When they went to retrieve the black stands, it didn't show Darren getting his stands that were conveniently placed just out of sight, THAT'S when he switched from the envelope that he was previously holding to the one that contained the correct selection of photos.
I remember watching this live on television, I did get stuck my seat. I remember following his instructions to a tee, and then listening and imagining what he was saying constantly. It worked for me, people in my house thought i was lying, but i genuinely was stuck to my seat.
i think you are lieing - otherwise you would still be stuck to your seat from watching it on youtube
@@akyak333 read my comment again 😂
I love how the concept of this TV show is literally the concept of all TV shows ever made.
i want to be susceptible to hypnosis, so i let it linger for a few seconds. each time i got close to moving, i felt the urge to let it linger a little more because i want it to be true. unfortunately, i am able to move whenever i like lol
He did say it won't work at lower resolutions.
Kryptonite Has was
I was watching it intermittently while eating and suddenly I found my palm to be very sticky.
you wont believe why is it!!!
Because hypnosis, in this sense, DOESENT EXIST!!
Wow! Crazy, right?
Wait, what? Ppl on Derrens shows are just pretending? No way, they woldnt ever....
Kryptonite I feel the hypnosis but it’s not strong enough to make me not move but it makes me lose some energy and I don’t want to get up but if I want to I can get up so I think it works like 50 percent on me
It's no wonder people believe he really reads minds! I like Derren because I can never fully work out how he does it, or even where to start sometimes. Other magicians like Dynamo are easily figured out by eliminating the impossible and imagining the probable, and it's usually right, if elaborate. But Derren is different. I think it's because I'm not sure what's _'impossible'_ because I'm not a master of the mind. But make no mistake, Derren is a true living legend. (And I'm so glad I can watch these for free on YT!! Thanks Derren, hope you stay healthy & happy )🖖
33:58 Didn't anyone else notice that they deliberately made everything much quieter than before to make you turn the volume up? (So the audio in the recording would then be louder)
andyjmwm yes it happens in all of the 30 mins + videos of his i dont know why tho
Most TVs have an automatic Volume Leveller that you can enable in settings via the menu.
Derren should does this same thing for those of us who can only catch his show over the internet. that would be amazing to actually be a part of one of his shows that has already aired.
Don't watch if you're taking a dump!!!!
Mikey Rothenberg xD
This would of been helpful before i started to drop some bombs.
I'd honestly rather be stuck on a toilet than a chair. At least on the toilet you can go about your business whenever you'd like. Being stuck in a chair could eventually be problematic in that regard
We need derren brown to do this again I did it as a kid and it worked! It was so good ❤
Your belief system stops your impulses, which is odd.
Anyone else feel immediately heavier after he said he will literally stick us to our seats?
I was so scared watching this live as a kid. I love Derren but he freaks me out so much!
I honestly didn't think it would work on me but I took a little bit more of an optimistic approach to this than I normally do for these types of things. Shortly after the film was over I noticed that it wasn't too difficult to move my back so I thought it didn't work but when I tried to get up I just simply couldn't. It wasn't until I took my hands and pushed down on the arm rests and basically forced my arse off the seat that I was able to get up. This was before you mentioned anything about playing a video that would help us get up.
I believe Derren may have one of the most in depth... practical understandings of the different ways the human brain can work. I hope that when he decides he's done performing he puts out a book describing what he understands and the reasons he thinks why these things happen (or prepares a book to release upon his death, if he feels he will never want to stop performing). I'm talking his understanding of hypnosis, religion, con artistry, and how these things work with some conjuring tricks (magic tricks) he's done. He's combined so many different things in such strange ways that while other humans may have an understanding of an individual principle, I feel he may be one of the only ones that understands the full or at least a larger potential of said principles.
By derren constantly repeating the number 19 to the subject at the beginning her mind automatically thinks of the number 19 and it becomes the center of attention for her and therefore she wants to keep that number
I noticed in the bit before that he kept saying “two” to her not sure of anything beyond that but I do think after watching him for about twenty one years I listen for numbers or similar when he talks to people.
I'm guessing the images of the guy who was tied up flashing on every now and again were red herrings?
yup too long to actually work
I hope so, they were bloody obvious
I thought so too but to be fair I was purposefully looking out for them since I knew the topic of the video. Like the lottery thing it seems he's just offering a fake explanation.
the whole show is a setup. he practically opens with a complete description of what he wants viewers to think. i don't even particularly like this one because the metamessaging is so thick it becomes distracting. in fact, i enjoy the experiments more than the events as a whole for this reason. the events are just too loaded. it's hard to pay attention to _everything_ he wants the television audience to be doing.
*if you want the most blatant example of what i'm talking about, find and watch "the gathering". he's got a gimmick in there that makes the whole show feel like you're trying to listen to an underwater conversation.
I'm going to watch his show in April so have been to watching lots of his older stuff. Thanks, I'll check that out. I get that he's saying what is going to happen so maybe the more influenced people will be 'tricked'. In this, it is pretty blatant which I guess is why not many people went for it. I particularly liked his show where he predicted which word on which page on which newspaper a member of the audience picked.
+Derren Brown This may sound blatant at first but I think that the controlling part was that you made us watch the video regardless of outcome!
More than 5 years later now. Derren started the video with te suggestion and did a short induction before the film started. I have been a "trained" subject for years now and I recognize the techniques used. Short inductions never worked on me, until now. Thank you Derren.
The Giraffe trick is one of those tricks that will work on some but not all. He probably tried it with a number of people but just showed footage of the time it actually worked.
yeah no it isn't. it's a magic trick, he forces the giraffe on the audience member, it will work every time as long as derren performs the illusion correctly. if you seriously believe somebody can be influenced to such an extent by silly little subliminal messages that they barely noticed then you're gullible as fuck, and i've got some real estate on the moon that you might be interested in buying.
@@MultiCheeseLouise if derren performs the illusion on the correct people* btw how much for the real estate?
@@MultiCheeseLouise you give people way to much credit
eKko0 Guys I’m sorry to break this to you but mentalism is nothing more than regular magic tricks that are dressed up to look like psychic powers. How about you do some googling on how to perform the tricks, and prepare yourself to have your illusion of derren’s mental techniques completely shattered. They are nothing more than traditional magic tricks.
@@MultiCheeseLouise youre right. The only problem is you and i have watched lots of darrens work so you and i have the idea of this. But not all people think alike. I bet youve been fooled and lied lots of times in your life by people who doesnt even know magic tricks, psychology or mentalism. Now can you understand what i want to say?
This was an interesting, informative. Video here….. REALLY REALLY SERIOUSLY LIKED THIS ONE. Hugs Derren
YOOOOOOOO It actually worked for me for like 10 seconds that was the weirdest and coolest experience I have ever had 😳
It's astonishing seeing this so long after its first release because subliminals and that kinda stuff are well known by now. I could move my arms and legs after a while but my butt was just stuck. After a a few minutes I managed to pull myself up a few inches but it was so hard and exhausting that I got pushed back again. It was such a crazy experience. As soon as I thought yeah I can pull myself up again I got sucked in again. Only managed a few millimeters and then it was too exhausting and I knew I had to wait longer :D
didn't work on me
How long did it take before you could get up?
Some might say that since the invent of TV, entire families have been stuck in front of it ever since
hastily made rotating lines? flashes when you're not supposed to? placebo lying effect? perfect!
I believe about as much in Derren Brown's events not being staged, as much as I do in
James VanPraagh being a psychic.
I don’t really know much about Darrin Brown or how he does his thing but what a nifty little trick this would be in the hands of our government. No more worrying about who the people are going to vote for In the next election, “they will vote for who we tell them to vote for” and so on.
Along with "they will wear a mask, have the jab, bang pots on Thursday nights, accede to a vaxpass to go for a pint...." ;-)
@@jollyjapesinnorfolkandsuff2625 hard to believe isn't it and yet it's happening right in front of our eyes, shocking how easy it is to manipulate the masses
I been three years and I’m still stuck in my chair. I’m starting to get concerned now.
Please tell me how you managed 3 years without drinking water. I'd love to know how.
@@GirGir183 no
It's been five years, and I still can't get up. Please, Darren, TURN IT OFF!
With the number trick just think of a number from 1 to 20 before derren tricks you and you almost certainly going to win.
bloody likes is still 19 people .. the number he made you choose in2017 .. its now 2020 .. was tempted to like .. but cant do . it .. .. that would ruin the fun
@@davidmckwan6847 wow nice one
He gives a disclaimer but knows everyone is still gonna watch
I remember watching this on TV. At that time it didn't really work but it DID this time on the internet🤣! Is it because the computer screen resolution has improved a lot since? Maybe the TV screen was too small and I was sitting too far back then?
I recently went to see Derren's latest SHOW and it was amazing!!!
It may have worked because you saw it before and repetition is a basic form of hypnosis.
The film starts now.....
RUclips goes ahead to play ads
Well done. Now i need to download something from the app store
Funny how D. Brown put on an Irish accent when he played the homeless fellow.
he looked exactly like my mum and dads friend it was trippy
Even tho I was aware of his tricks, I just let it sink in. The first time wasn't really powerfull, because I was distarcted by thinking about how it was done and it went away after few seconds. So I tried it for the second time, but fully concentrated on this and it was amazing. But then got bored, took deep breath and just stood up.
I've been stuck in my chair since last Christmas :| Number one, I do wish Derren had mentioned the studio is no longer taking phonecalls & number 2 (no pun) that I may have needed a colostomy bag.
I Will take this to heart. We need change and Im The Savior but not yet seen.... 😊
I feel like it wasn't about the film, but rather what he was saying. Because Derren has achieved this in some other shows of his without a video. And by saying it won't work if you're watching on the Internet, that's what actually makes it not work. Also, some people in the studio weren't able move their hands/arms either. But it was assumed people at home would, because otherwise they couldn't make the call. So they didn't apply the suggestion to their hands, whereas some people in the studio did, as they didn't have plans to use them. Also, I feel like the very specific instructions on how to sit in the chair were not really there because the film is designed for that position or something, my guess is it's because some people are more susceptible to the suggestion (which is not designed for any precise position) and when it doesn't work on someone, they can think "oh, I probably did something wrong". And it won't affect you if you don't sit in that position on purpose simply because you don't expect it to affect you then. An other thing is, what if there's a sudden power outage that turns of the TV before he unsticks you? :D Well, my guess is that that situation would overpower the suggestion, because when you know eventually he's going to unstick you, you give in more and subconsciously there's not really any need to get up. When there is need, though, as otherwise it would seem you'd be stuck forever, you let go of the suggestion.
That's just my guess, anyway. I still don't know how he does the speaking suggestion anyway, of course. :)
Also, I am really confused about the UV thing. How can that affect you if you can't physically perceive it? That way it's not perception without awareness, is it? I'd say it's done differently.
(All of this is not an attempt to undermine Derren Brown's work at all, don't take me wrong, just trying to make sense of it ;). )
The UV light showing the invisible ink is just for entertainment.
Also claimed it to be down to low resolution from a pc screen and that's why it won't work online, but the resolution on a pc screen is actually higher due to the manufacturer acknowledging that the viewing distance is shorter and therefore needs to be higher. In fact you will find your iphone or smart phone has an even higher resolution than your pc screen as the viewing distance is designed for an even shorter distance.
I saw a live show of Paul Daniels in London about 30 years ago. He had audience members on stage who couldn't get up from their chairs.
Im 10 min in and green is everywhere.
You can only achieve what your mind can conceive.
Imagine the fire alarm goes off when they’re all ‘stuck’ to their seats
Although I was able to stand up my legs felt very weak and I slumped back into my seat almost immediately. My legs felt like they were made of jelly.
Only 6 minutes in and Darren has emphasised "TWO" more than a few times, I wonder if that will come up 🤔😂
Weazla I wondered the same thing!!
Govmnts of the world now, "Hold my beer"
i got stuck for like 30 seconds, intensly insane
*walks over to me* Derren: “ What’s it feel like to not being able to move” Me: “Oh I just didn’t want to get up”
You know if Derren has Kids he'd use this on them to stop them running around
I knew she was going to pick the Giraffe when he pointed out the doll houses, infront of one of them was a giraffe and I thought "That's weird what kind of doll set has a giraffe" and then I started seeing giraffe print on the walls and stuff.
Guns man, Hi terry here, remember me?? I was the guy you made love to in London. Hows the herpes treating you? much love Dennis xx
Andy aka Rudolf Hessiansack ?
Okay but imagine they went to all that effort to make her pick a giraffe and she picks a dolphin lmao
Help step-Derren, I'm stuck...
38:32 He said that there'd be no flashing subliminals, but there have been at least two so far.
Also it's a shame he didn't post it at 1080p
Every time he flashed the picture of the can strapped to the chair it scared the shit out of me
Can I be laying down caussee I'm really comfortable.
It wasn't the song that influenced Joe, it was the giraffe movie, it subliminally impacted him just because of his name.
Might be reading too far into this, but I find it fascinating how he so casually adds in clauses and phrases that remove legal and societal suspicion/panic. So, the mention that children under a certain age should not watch if there is not an adult with them lessens the chance of a parent finding out about this after and being mad and threatening action. I think saying that it will not work if posted on the internet (fun fact: v wrong lol) convinces internet viewers that it won't work for them, therefore already having them believe immunity creates that 'immunity' to it, and also, it seems to me like a preventative measure were the video to become viral, it would dissipate panic regarding its effects to those who do not know what went on fully. No one could reasonably then press concerns about it if they saw it on the internet and thought it dangerous, because the programme said it is not supposed to effect them at all. Finally, and most interesting to me, when he confirms with the woman that she is not hypnotized. It diffuses suspicion from hypnosis to participants, firstly, but I think more importantly, it serves to act as a statement that turns people away from panicking or becoming angry with the programme for broadcasting hypnosis on television. In confirming the lack of hypnosis (even though there was very much of it), but framing it as a question to an audience member (rather than lying and telling the participants they are not affected by hypnosis, which could actually cause legal trouble if incorrect?) the programme is able to brand itself as something that would not cause outrage or concern in both viewers and the general public. I don't know much about law so this may be wrong, but I am fond of how all of this was thought through, yet weaved seamlessly into the 'magic' effect of the 'film.'
I've seen the special before, and I know what happens. Before, it didn't work, but this time I went in with an open mind and wanted it to work, and it did. I couldn't move my hands from my lap or my feet from the floor.
I'm been watching Derren Brown very closely and figuring out how it works and I'm very good at psychology. I figured he would get the green chair since the prominent colour in the room is green I then guess he chose the blue pen possibly due to the blue chair but close to green. Then i guessed he would write 3 1 2 as its quite common for people chose this as it would be "difficult" to guess because people subconsciously think by disrupting 1 2 3 no one will guess. I'm quite good at this type of thing and often confused my friends by asking them to pick between a square, circle or triangle and get them to think of it. I'll then say okay so you are thinking of a square, circle or triangle and the word they are thinking of when you mention it, there is a slight change im facial expression because it shows interest and they eventually go into a pattern after yoy guess over and over again because they try to switch it up to something you won't guess but its easy to understand once you get it. Its fun!
WHY CAN'T I WORD THINGS CORRECTLY, this sounds like a load of shite. Sorry idk how to word this right so i get it if you are confused
So wonderful - I wish we had this charity suggestion display here in NY
The flash at 35:49 is a cartoon of a man tied to a chair...
I watched the video on 0.25 speed, continuously pausing and un pausing. I eventually found the image then looked in the comments and found this. I feel slightly stupid now, having wasted some time.
and at 37:50
Nice catch.
PWA perhaps it started popping before he mentioned about the tv thing
You're supposed to notice that. It's perceptible.
The real "magic" here isn't in the film, but in the stage hypnosis techniques. That's all this is.
NEVER PLAY POKER WITH THIS MAN
Wait till 2021, that is how it is REALLY done.
Another excellent presentation.

"You'll win on 19" Oh Derren you sly devil.
He doesn't say that at all. He says you need to eliminate 19 people.
He says "19" about five times. Although "your odds are 19 to 1" surely sound like "19 to win".
@@RogerCRocha He said Two to or too far too many times. He was stacking it in her favour by telling her number two was a win. Pity she read the signs for 19 instead.
10 months later and I'm still stuck here....
I was sitting on the bus as I watched this, and I almost missed my stop! The driver was very understanding tho, and held the bus for a few minutes to get myself un-stuck.
Welcome to MS peeps! That’s my normal day 🤷🏻♀️
"Insert who came from Tom Scott here"
Me. Did you stick to the floor?
Yup me
@@ArronMurray I didn't. But he got me on that people one. I closed my eyes to block myself from knowing who has the lose. And I went for the man with no. 19.
And guess what.
I watch his vids but just found this on recommended
Tom Scott introduced me to Derren Brown with his latest video, and I am honestly very glad he did. Derren Brown is amazing, and I would never have discovered him if it weren't for that one video Tom did about broadcasting laws.
It worked for me on my iPhone 5s. It felt like the muscles I needed to push myself up off the seat weren't responding to my commands. Mostly in my thighs, and when I tried to lift my feet it couldn't lift them very high or very easily. Alone at home on my love seat.
Yeah my feet felt like they were magnetised to the ground, and I couldn't push myself up from my seat.
The lose thing he does by repeating the word "two". What this implies is the second person along. Out of twenty, that's either 19, or number 2. Since he eliminated them in blocks of five he simply convinced her to get rid of 1-5 early on by pushing the notion of "lets eliminate 5 people so, that could be 1-5, or whatever". Eventually he says "two" so much, it just implies the second person - which is not the end person. Also at the end he says "you've eliminated 18 now you're eliminating the 19th", which should imply to get rid of number 19, but since that would be two obvious she goes for the number 20.
I noticed the "two" thing too! So interesting, isn't it!
Your belief system creates a nervous response that makes you subconsiously focus on the heaviness of your butt. Then the same belief that you are stuck stops the impulse to get up.
Correct. It's fascinating, though, how a mind can be controlled by suggestion.
at 25:00 for exactly 2 frames there is a very fake looking green glare coming from his ring.
Woah.. Well spotted
Legends say they are still stuck
The real reason we clapped for the NHS in Lockdown I, Covid Year 2020.
It worked perfectly for me.
There was a flash and for like a quarter of second there was a pic of a dude bound to a chair
Barnaby Steed yes and it was well before the actual film
YOU DON'T SAY.
It was also played with a sound, so I believe we were meant to notice it.
The priming started well before that the interval bit with the couple being pulled towards their sofa by gravity for example.
Yep
I’ve been stuck for 4yrs now…I’m not fine
Media do it everyday
"Don't move your head outside the circle."
"Now try to get up." :P
If Derren Brown ever asks you if it was really a free choice, the answer is always no
I actually was stuck to my seat but before the white lines a image flashed up when derren was talking
