Well spotted Sir! You really do have a keen eye for spotting actor's? Brilliant!
@@eyesopen66 why can nobody on RUclips take a fucking joke? Idiot
AshManzarek I think that person did get the joke and responded with another lmao but not sure
AshManzarek r/whooooosh
@@eyesopen66, actors, no need for an apostrophe. Idiot.
Oh thank god. No cancer money after all.
bullsquid42 he probably still donated he's a good guy
While performing the trick, he hypnotised the audience into donating $100 each.
It's such a bizarre thing at that point he knew 100% the trick had worked, why make a spectacle of it.
@@stitch626123because it's his job?
I'm sure he wound up donating it anyway. But I think it would have made it more exciting if he had said that he would donate if the trick does work so that everyone would have an extra reason to celebrate and to feel more invested during the countdown.
Incredible and heart-warming ovation for not donating to cancer.
What do u mean. Was he running a scam or something???
@@crossbearer6453 nah it's because he said he'd donate 10k if it failed but it worked
He did donate…
Ok Mr grumpy
@@onlyme219 ?
I think the most amazing trick Derren has ever done is that he's successfully convinced us all he's not psychic.
I hope youre joking.

It was a joke. So yes.

He certainly would have walked that way.... Not a joke!!!!
Omg BEST TRICK EVER. How did Derren Brown's hair magically appear on Martin Freeman's face!?!?!?!?!!!!!!
Brock Didenko I know this comment was from like a year ago, but fuck me did it make me laugh 😂
lmfao!
I like his look better now. I am not gay but I am comfortable with my sexuality and he gets more handsome every year.
I literally lol'ed
What does that mean? 'I am not gay but I am comfortable with my sexuality'? Surely that just means, 'I'm not a homophobe'.
Easily my favourite illusionist, carries himself well, very original, dresses his acts up but doesn't over do it.
But what about Paul Daniels?
Youpie Curry dead
Yeah Derren is the best. Anyone who doesn't like him is a total deadbeat.
derren is fantastic but i can understand if hes not someones cup of tea
Original? That is a David Blaine trick he has done a million times.
i like how he acts amazed and happy at the end, even though he already knows well before that the trick is coming together perfectly
+Daniel Sims Stating the obvious but... it's part of the trick. That's what he does every time: pretend stuff.

i’ve never seen martin laugh like this, i swear to god, i love him
6:56 - surely I can’t be the only one to imagine Derren saying “hello Amanda, I want to play a game” in his best Jigsaw voice!
Look at the suspense and surprise he has built into this card trick, something every magician has to learn
I think it was Blackstone who said, "If you have 100 ways of forcing a card and one way of revealing it, you have one trick; if you have one way of forcing it and 100 ways of revealing it, you have 100 tricks."
Derren Brown is 99% magician, and 99% showman.
198% person, for sure
i always find myself not asking how he does his tricks because honestly i dont care. he could have a wholedeck of 4Hs and i wouldnt care. Its his presentation. His performance and his reputation as a mind reading nutcase that always makes the tricks incredible.
he kind of told the woman to pick number 9(look back at how he emphasizes the number nine in the story) and she picked 43, which is 52-9. He got lucky and he is good with psychology.
He prolly had a plan b but I bet this time he got hte easy way out.
I dont think he had his entire performance based on luck, it was part of the trick
43 was plan A - long term memory
9 was plan b - short term memory
SEriously lol???
He didn't tell the story until a while after she'd picked the number.
Missed this last night. Because you have made this readily available to watch, I will donate a tenner right now!!
Anyone that doubts Derren Brown (and i know of a few cynics myself) should see his stage shows - the end routine of Svengali, for instance, is amazing - also the telephone number at the end of Infamous. Watching them on TV or RUclips is impressive; watching them at the theatre is mind-blowing.
Cynics? Brown doesn't pretend to actually have magical powers. He is very open and honest that what he is doing is performing tricks and illusions. He actually is very outspoken against people (like David Blaine and stage psychics) who pretend to actually be doing supernatural things.
kgt7500 I know, you're preaching to the converted, but i know people who're convinced that he uses stooges and that members of the audience that come on stage are planted there..... i know that's nonsense and i'm a huge fan, but there are always cynics in life.
***** Wally? For what? For knowing people who are cynical? I think Derren's great, I've been to see him live twice.... if you see fit to come on RUclips and insult people, at least explain yourself.
I started to write a really long reply, but i honestly can't be arsed..... you sir are the dingle berry, so go and play with your yo-yo, or whatever it is that keeps you happy
***** i know you are, but what am i.... lol (not playing anymore)
Original plan:
- Blue deck is mostly 4 of hearts cards
- Red deck he places 4 of hearts at position 43 cards from front, 9 cards from back
- derren choose subject who will be veneurable to impression
- derren's team expose woman to the number 43 throughout the week e.g. at her work, at home, in emails
- woman chooses 43 as her number
Backup plan:
- there are 9 steps up to the stage,
- he tells story about when he was 9
- he can turn the pack over and count the other way if she takes the short term number, instead of the long term number
- 52 - 9 = 43
Fool!
Kim T I guessed nine lol, as he said to guess a number
Whilst I like your thinking, if he counted 9 cards back from the end of the deck, he would reach card 44, not 43.
52, 51, 50, 49, 48, 47, 46, 45, 44
Ollie Heath and this is where he interrupted to jump one card ahead when they reach the 27th card he interrupts to say "what was that 28?" And carries on from there
No he doesn't.
"The only woman I'd turn for" 😂
Today i learned Derren Brown was gay
Was wondering if I had imagined that
Waiting for Sherlock to appear at the comment section and explain everything...or will he?
I'd say no one can even hazard a guess at this point.
Derren = OP
Martins laugh was so cute :,)))) I’m deadd
A very clever man. If you listen very carefully to what he is saying he often repeats the words 'free and for' and during his story telling he also repeats the number nine.
He is the master of deception with comedy he has you laughing so hard you don't see what is going on a national treasure for sure!
Crazy how one out of every 52 people in the comments also picked 43!! What are the odds!!
HAH! Well said ;)
The odds are actually higher than 1 in 52. Most people don't pick 1 or 52. 13 is an unpopular number. Odd numbers are picked more than even numbers. Numbers divisable by 10 are less popular as well.
It's super awesome and I greatly admire this guy! However, he likely used his story about when he was 9 years old to influence Amanda's answer, and all of our ideas about how it should be 43, since 52-9=43. Very well done though
Lydia Bechtel - nope, Amanda was paid to say 43.
I picked 12 lol
Thank you for uploading this, I somehow missed it on the night.
the music choreography is either diabolically ingenious or out of pure chance perfect
I loved the way he mentioned Benedict
Paula Alvarado
Oh? What did you love about it?
well he is 43 years old. at that time.
Derren that's the first time I've heard u swear 😂 so funny. Love u Derren!
Amanda's face at the end is the best! Lol that was pretty much my reaction too.
she is acting you fool
Love this ACAAN variation. Nice one Darren....as per usall great showmanship. ... love the way you and old idea abd come up with original way of presenting it.
Martin should be named the next "Epic Beard Man"
It's a very nice beard, but not what most would call "epic", especially in America.
Bilbo should have suddenly vanished using his magic ring. That would have put Brown firmly in his place
You can see the 4 of hearts push in his spread...its masterful
The card is deceptively forced from a deck which have 90% same cards,
And the number is a result of some pre-show work.
Hats off Derren Brown
What I love about Derren Brown is that his brand of magic "seems" real. You can find "revealed" videos all over RUclips explaining how various magic tricks were done. Derren Brown's magic is different. It defies that kind of explanation. If you watch a lot of Derren Brown, you'll notice that very often his tricks aren't quite perfect - which enhances the illusion that it's not magic. When predicting 3 or 4 cards, and all of them are right except for one - and that one is just the wrong suit or one number off. The audience then believes that it IS really mentalism. He's a genius. It's magic with a "mentalist" angle. His explanation that he plants ideas into people's head is just part of the theater. I don't believe it. It simply wouldn't work often enough to be reliable. Even if 20% of the people didn't take his suggestion, that's failing an awful lot.
Hahah why are you frustated so much about Derrens Tricks?
I know how its done, he's clearly an alien & just uses extraterrestrial powers on everyone. omg so obvious
👌 😆
This was amazing
Reminds me to make a donation to Cancer Research, so the trick worked on many levels. Nice one, Derren.
Lol soundtrack from Saw
Well, they like paying games so....
Do you know the name of the soundtrack?
hello zepp i think??
thank you!
and it was perfectly placed on time, person who edited this video is genius. the start is right, both the start of the song and the start of the counting, in the end culmination was matched perfectly too - the song and the trick ended just at perfect time. you must to search for a song for a long time to find such a good fit. or there is easier way - to make shorter version of the song, but i hope this one was 100 percent original and it just fitted perfectly (with magic of editor :D)
Penn & Teller where you at?
the saw music gave me the chills
my fav by far
Martin was 43 years old at the time. I wonder if maybe that's how Derren knew she would pick 43? Craziness.
maybe? in that case the deck would have been a false deck, maybe he switched it out. so the trick itself would have been a combination of mentalism and sleight of hand
I felt SO strongly that she was thinking of 43 as she was walking up to the stage
Amazing! Thanks for posting.
if i was martin freeman i wouldve just shocked them all and slipped the ring on and dissapeared.
Even if all of the first deck were 4Hs, it may not have been 43 cards in (Amanda could've picked any number between 1 and 52). All the cards in the second deck had to be a proper set as we seen her turning each one over. So assuming the first deck was a random, complete set and that 43 was a number that Amanda randomly picked out, I've no idea how he done this. If you ever get the chance, go see him live! (And don't look for spoilers before hand)
"Carefully!"
"I knooOOOWWW!!""
the best part in the video is the saw soundtack. gooese bumps😁
"...and the only woman I'd ever turn for"
Awwwwww
the only woman I'd turn FOUR ... brainwashing occured..
O god I love her reaction 😂
"And the old woman I'd turn for" absolute fucking legend Derren :D
Phew. Almost had to donate.

And Derren Brown yet again finds a way to keep his money xD
INCREDIBLE
It's amazing how he managed to make his speech come out before his lips moved... incredible.
martin's laugh is beautiful
I thought of 43 too!!
Lots of four of hearts in that 1st deck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He only shows a few😊
Bravo.!!
Why was the SAW score playing? Lol. "I wanna play a game."
The key moment in this trick, which was edited out of the TV broadcast, is when Amanda reveals her number for the first time shortly after stepping onto the stage - a stagehand then knows which one of fifty-two possible decks they should place on the table to be bought out.
Each of the fifty-two decks would be made of up of the same card, with perhaps 7-10 indifferent cards - it’s the indifferent cards that Martin sees, which is enough to convince him the deck is ordinary.
Derren’s long, emotive story - a story which may be entirely fabricated - is what helps cause earlier events to be forgotten, particularly those which are not perceived as being significant at the time (i.e. the first reveal of the number).
Well done
@ Well thats how it was done. And he gave the home audience no chance of guessing how.
Not even remotely close David.
Dave Phillips...I just rewatched the clip a few times after reading your guess at how it was done..and I think you got it sir!..I know a few comments here say you are wrong, and not being a magician myself and just enjoying the mechanics of it, you certainly have shown one way of doing this..if there is a better way then I'd love to know..but my guess is that nobody is telling
Ah thank you
Awesome!
Why didn't Martin ask to shuffle? I would have. DB: Brilliant!
You beautiful beautiful bearded man
Andy Jones - It's OK that you're gay.
He says "lovely to meet you".... he appeared in another of his shows years ago!
...and the night before when they had dinner together 🤔👍
his predicyion of the lottery numbers was best
her reaction was priceless 😂
aah derren did this trick during infamous- i thought he wouldnt shout 'fuck you andrew gaffney' again but he did :D
Out of interest, was the number also 43?
I can't fucking believe this but i thought of 43 too.... Genuinely said it in my mind when he said think of a number between 1-52.. Im astonished.
He pushed it to you when he explained the story. He was NINE!!! years old 43=52-9
lol fuck that... But really, how did he do that
i thought of 45..
There are only a few numbers that people will pick between 1-50 the vast majority of the time. He just then needs to somehow suggest it was a 4 and 3, which I have no idea how he did that.
its a 1 in 53 chance... not that incredible
The cab driver from Sherlock taught D this
Carefully!
Look it. Ahh!
Me: dead
2:10 he does a fake cut. Could indicate that the first 5 or so cards are random and the rest are the same? Furthermore, at 2:14 he directs him to hold his finger above the main cluster of cards (including where the random ones are) and tells him to bring his finger along the deck, indirectly making him not choose the random cards. Doesn't account for the rest of the trick, but just my 2 sense
2 cents dude haha
+Opomax Lol, do people ever read?😂😂
Not true
Yea, it’s clearly the case . Second part of the trick is number suggestion
yes, u are right. there was no sleight of hand there. He just had to make the move, so most chances are he wont point the first random cards. But even if he did, he would change his mind with talking like"are you sure u want this one?because it is the top one and maybe i accidentally saw it". U have to be ready for both scenarios
43 was what i chose
derrens hand goes under table when martin picks his card
Darren and the SAW theme. Double whammy
I am almost certain based on the way he handled the first (blue) deck that that after 12 or so cards on the bottom, it was all 4 of hearts. 1:58 he did not shuffle the bottom 1/3rd or so of the deck into the rest when he shuffled. 2:07 he only shows us the bottom 10 cards (the part he didn't shuffle into the rest). 2:10 he did a false cut which left the part of the deck he showed us up right at the beginning of the spread, where the spread was much denser. 2:15 his gesture for telling martin how to choose a card made it clear not to stop right at the beginning.
as for the 43 part, this is my guess. I bet when he gave them the envelope (may or may not actually been a week before) he privately told her something like _"think of any number between one and 52, whatever number you choose, in the show later, a card randomly selected by Martin will be at that location. what number do you want?"_ . he impresses upon her that this is her number for the trick. he then sets up a deck with the 4 of hearts at that location. she doesn't feel like a stooge, because the trick is still very impressive to her because martin apparently chose a card randomly. at 5:33 notice how Daren does not say "think of any number between one and 52" he says "you have in your mind a number between 1 and 52".
yes. that's how ACAAN is usually done. I think you are right
he says you have a number already in your mind at 5:34 because he asked her to think of one earlier
even if the only the first 12 were different he didn't pick one in the first 12 so that's wrong
and he shuffles the blue deck at the start
joey pigott you don't understand what I was saying. he showed the first 12 or so cards to be unique, but past that I think it was all the same card. reread my comment, I go into some depth.
but yeah, I may be wrong about the 'think of a number thing'.
saw music 😂
That laugh at 4:52
Yep. Done for the week.
@PAULINA CASTRO its nice to meet another Freemaniac:)
Omg we watched this today in class and I wasn't paying attention until I heard the music and I was like what why do I know that song and now I know it's from the saw movies! yaas
I picked 43 as well. Wonder how he does it. I've seen some of his shows and he usually end it by explaining why people pick the numbers he wants them to pick.
59k views so far, a number between 1 and 52. I'd imagine a lot of people also picked 43. Personally I chose 36 ; o)
***** .. but I still wonder how he did this one, as he usually explains his tricks.
There is a way he can implant a memory in his volunteer and it's simple subconscious influence association. It's the same thing marketers and advertisement works but on a much more detailed and personal scale, he truly is a master of psychology and manipulation. Watch his BMX video with the explanation.
***** Oi, be nice. Just because someone doesn't know some facts, does not make them stupid.
- And you haven't come up with any answers to my 'question', so keep it low, mate.
*****
You're right, he'd be a pastor/faith healer instead.
Awe her number was Martin's Age 😊
and derren's age :)
I was about to like this, but that would make it 44 likes. So... y'know.
Some and unlike this so theike count will be 43
What an amazing trick. So much fun to watch a magician perform.
He’s amazing
So he showed Martin only 10 cards in the deck. I think the other 42 were 4 of hearts so he could easily force that card on him. No idea bout the rest...
Why did he pocket the 4 of hearts that freeman had?
Freeman's a well known playing card thief
To then place it in the deck via slight of hand at position number 43.
@@tommygalbally239 Except he never touched the deck amd it was ina box anyway,
i want the same intro but for benedict "and here's the father of your children-martin freeman"

Anyone got a link for the exact soundtrack used at the beginning
I know it's the SAW theme but I love this version
so sad they split 😰
Bernie 4 life bruv who split
@@Patrick-pi7ng Amanda and Martin
For the life of me I can't think of a third possibility: Either it's magic, or it's a setup.
Slight of hand. He took the 4 of hearts from Martin and pocketed it, and then placed it in the deck (which was edited out) into position 43 - which is still bloody hard to do especially without anyone seeing it, but definitely the only way this could have been done.
@@tommygalbally239 but she says 43 at 5:36, and the whole room is watching the deck from that moment.
@@TimCrinion there are a few suspicious cuts though. But hey, I can barely play poker so I’m no expert!! 😂
Every card apart from the top few he showed Martin at the beginning is the 4 of hearts
And?
they were such a nice couple..so sad. Great video!
i think martin looks really handsome with that beard
The first deck is made up of 90% 4 of hearts. There are a few mixed cards at the bottom of the deck. He keeps them there with a fake cut and uneven shuffle. He does another fake cut right before he spreads them out. Watch it frame by frame. There is always an 8 of clubs on the bottom. He has the guy pick a 4 by bypassing the mixed cards which get laid down first by having him move his finger from beginning to end, bypassing the mixed cards into the 4 of hearts section of the deck. He even places the mixed cards first and close together to discourage the choosing of one. That is only half of the trick.
He is also social engineering. The wife told him 43 before hand because he proposed the grift to her as a little bit of fun at her husband's expense for the benefit of cancer. Who would say no? He even pokes some fun at Martin at the beginning to maintain the spirit of this being a little trick on her husband.
The deck he sent to her and told her not to open was stacked from the beginning. Most magicians have a full card deck stack order they use regularly memorized. Once he knew which number she picked he new the card at the 43 position, then filled 90% of the first deck with that card (4 of hearts).
Martin picks the 4 of hearts because it's basically the only choice in the first deck, which in turn, is the card indexed at the 43rd position when they count up in the "sealed" stacked deck.
Everyone involved besides Darren is amazed by some part of the process, so to them it is still magic.
You can clearly see at 2:11 that darren palm cuts the pack before spreading them for Martin to pick, giving martin no chance to pick anything but the half deck or so of 4 of hearts ...
great trick though.. superb.
Lol at the ‘Saw’ music tho.
Anyone else going to talk about the use of “Hello Zepp” from Saw? What a perfect choice for a Derren Brown show.
I'm sure it's much more complicated, but I kinda want to think that there she is, looking at Arthur Dent, can't say "42," so she goes one number higher.
pamayimmalachim that’s brilliant. I hadn’t thought of that.
