Derren does an amazing job to describe exactly what he wants eloquently. It's a shame many people don't get his point, when he does everything to prove it.

[@ice7771]

Very good. More please.

[@themurge]

Ahhh I love Derren!

[@OpenLearn_OU]

@TraceurMeeka; Impressed. you're actually able to comprehend sarcasm. Good job.

[@hyperbeanify]

i have just noticed his 'tick' or"noddy thing" as he calls it

[@NordicMother]

Sorry to bother anyone but I cannot find 1/7...can anyone point me to it?

[@wrd7]

There are more short interviews with Derren coming soon...

[@NoJohnDoe]

uh,oh - this Shot-Reverse-Shot makes this whole thing kinda hard to follow - English is not my native language and I studied media - and I wonder if it only me that gets this "nervous" feeling about this short but very interesting interview.
I also wonder if Derren is not earning enough money anymore - or why he defers to give away techniques and background infos.
anyway. I enjoy watching Derren.

[@hyperbeanify]

0:49 not derren's best angle

[@RicardoPhoenixMentalismus]

[@nextblain]

[@Protean213]

@WhitbyStuff Self-important pedants?

[@jungyoumean]

they speak so quickly D

[@WhitbyStuff]

"Fake psychics". As opposed to what?

[@aky19832001]

I'm very careful as to what I let my self hear and see from Darren. His ability to send subliminal messages and thoughts are paralleled. Try to watch this with out looking at the video.

[@aky19832001]

@TraceurMeeka "It's pretty arrogant and bigoted to share this nonsense with other people" Its a subjective point of view. His show is based on misdirection, illusion, deceit intended to entertain people. I feel sorry for you, I shall pray that you find some light and intelligence asap.

[@Asidders]

No it isn't.
