Derren is 100% done with this guy but stays polite with him (despite dissing the guy a few, deserved, times). The guy talks and talks and talks but states no facts. "I know a boy who was born without eyeballs but can see better than you..." "I don't know his name." You'd think a guy would remember the name of someone that incredible...
He's a fraud and disgustingly Soviet. But it's so stupid to attack the whole country he came from. I work remotely and live in Ukraine with fantastic comfort, something that wouldn't be possible in UK with its hobbit like houses and restaurants. Also, I prefer to live in European and not Muslim culture, hehe
+LongLiveInspiration classic technique from derren, let the guy dig his own hole, he's making himself look like an idiot and can't say he's a victim because derren never did anything.
+LongLiveInspiration The only way you can treat a madman like this is with respect because otherwise they go crazy and you get nothing out of it. If you treat them with respect but keep on asking tough questions, you have no place to go.
I honestly always respect people like him of Dawkins for not snapping when they interview these morons. You know when as a kid there always was one little shit who would try and change the rules when they didn't suit him? This is what they become when they grow up.
That was just painful to watch. My only question is what this guy thought would possibly come from doing this show? Did he honestly believe he was going to fool Derren and get his endorsement?
How come the people that Derren asks, always pick on him and over react and treat him terribly? It makes it so obvious that they are fake. The smallest tiniest suggestion that something not real and they go crazy on Derren. You're so patient Derren!
"I can fly!" "Okay, fly then." "How dare you hurt my ego in that way!" I keep telling people that I am Superman, it's the truth. But I'm never going to show anyone. They should just believe me, and not hurt my feelings by asking me to prove it.
Derren's technique is very clever. I think he's being extremely polite on purpose. Frauds like this always try to get angry about something when they're put on the spot as a way of getting out of it. By being really polite he's forcing the guy to transparently invent something to get angry about.
Derren, I don't know if you're going to read that eventually or not, but I sure hope so: After Houdini, Randi and many other people, I think you are in a way taking the path of being a great help to humanity, one small step at a time. This video just looked like what Dawkins has done in "Enemy of reason". Thank you so much for giving people interested in magic a bit of critical thinking. (Even) As a skeptic myself -we like the term Zetetician in french, as it as not been stolen like it has been in the anglosaxon world-, I really enjoy your work. Sorry for the mistakes I probably have made.
I love Darren Brown's body language at 4:51 (the eye flutter, the deep breath, the shoulder lift): He's thinking "I'm getting frustrated and this guy is full of shit."
i think this interview clearly demonstrates the phenomenon of looking with the Eyes Wide Shut -- how a paradigm maintained and supported by reputation and an entrenched following on top of the backdrop of "common sense" which keeps one's reality in place -- can completely prevent seeing beyond it.
0:47 when someone says “if taking it more seriously I was aware before I was born and I picked this body” I would tell him you can’t be telling me that you’re serious after telling me that you picked the body you’re in now, you were aware before you were born and that you can levitate. And if you are serious I’d suggest that you are mentally ill
glenn miller exactly. that's an old russian sarcastic "smack-talk" if you will. i was kinda laughing when brown didnt understand, or at least pretended not to understand lol
Probably similar to the boy/girl who you were told cracked their skull by leaning back on a chair. Just a device to get you to believe something stupid.
I live in Russia... and i want to say thank you, oh, and i'm sorry for idiots like this, unfortunately as the educational system here got destroyed these charlatans got more and more powerful.
If you want to prove to people you have x-ray eyes, the simplest thing you can do is identify an item they put in a box without you seeing it, or is that just me being sane
No fucking class from this guy. At all. Derren was such a gentleman, what a delight. You couldn't tell from Bronnikov's body language, but his speech was pretty fucking obvious that he was a scammer and a liar. Once you're pressured for the truth, start talking about others to get your image out of it, become aggressive. Exactly what this man did. Kudos to Derren for being lovely to pieces of filth.
I think this was the man I saw some time ago on Russian talk-sow - he had brought with him a girl who, according his words, had learned to see when completely blindfolded. There was a skeptic who pointed out that, using big goggles to construct blindfold for small cild is sort of ..., then that she might have learned all cards and that "great teacher" are giving her signs, but it all went nowhere because auditorium was demanding to stop skeptic from torturing (?) poor child. Really, even if parents of that girl were not poor, they had payed significant sum of money. I suppose, if they wanted their child to become extraordinary, the money could have been spent on memory training (it is not easy to get in good schools) or maybe the kid hads any talents and extracurricular activities stopped being free of charge (unless there are many children in family) after disintegreation of the Soviet Union.
Perhaps he got the impression that DB wasn't really there to conduct an objective investigation but to find a flaw or disprove him. If that's what DB set out to do, then I don't blame the guy for refusing to playball.
You get defensive when you are trying to protect a vulnerability. Bronnikov was completely defensive in his approach. If you have the capability, you'd want the world to know. His reasons for not participating were incomprehensible.
He says to Derren that "you don't deal with proofs", while all he himself did was make grandiose claims and complain.. a lot. He said he knew he was entering into existence even prior to his birth. What does that even mean?? That's a clear indication of the type of person you're dealing with here. Why did he even agree to meet Derren? He was aware of him and his tv programme, so if he disliked Derren, his methods and his show, then why agree to meet and sit there and talk nonsense? Dude: "Yeah there's a town and in the town, there's this kid who was born without eyeballs, and he can see better than you." Derren: "Wowzers! That sounds amazing!! Could you maybe give me the kid's name, so that I can investigate it?" Dude: "Yeah no I don't think so, I forgot his name, but it's all real and proven!!" Derren: =/ Dude: "Oh yes. And in the next town you see, there's this other guy who was born without legs, and he's faster than Bolt." Derren: I think we're done here..
What a nasty bit of work..... Good for Derren remaining professional and polite throughout.... All the guy had to do was say “I see two handkerchiefs and a jar of thick cut marmalade!” We would have all be blown away if he was correct.....
The ONLY thing i hate about videos like this, despite it's value, is that a lot of people often come away from it convinced there is nothing out of the ordinary or "supernatural" out there, consider his work with mediums etc, fraudulent mediums give a false impression of the reality of near death research, that being, that the evidence for the continuation of consciousness is actually shockingly strong and consistent and yet some people might consider anything to do with the subject as some charlatan type deal.
Bronnikov started getting offended, he must have something to hide. His body language changed and started calling people names to try to direct Derren elsewhere in the conversation, Bronnikov knew he was had but kept yapping.
so let me get this straight... he is not proofing that the method works because Darren is not a scientist... but he doesn't want him to do an anti-commercial which is essentially proofing that it don't work... so he might as well have said this is a total *lie*.
You can't know if someone is lying without knowing specific bassline, and you need to soend a lot of time with that person. Darren is full of shit like all conmans out there, he sells fog nothing else.
Vyacheslav Bronnikov calls himself professional and says Derraen isn't serious was a load of crap to me. He has no idea what he was talking about and tried to move away from the question when all Derren wanted was proof it was real. I would not believe a single word that man said to me if he was trying to conivnce me to participate in this method.
Derren is such a gentleman
Derren is 100% done with this guy but stays polite with him (despite dissing the guy a few, deserved, times). The guy talks and talks and talks but states no facts.
"I know a boy who was born without eyeballs but can see better than you..."
"I don't know his name."
You'd think a guy would remember the name of someone that incredible...
anyone would remember that name, especially someone who "came consciously into his body" and claims to be overloaded with knowledge
jdphotos3run Its like jesus's disciples not remembering jesus's name after watching the stuff he apparently did, it just wouldn't happen.
Insults England for not knowing this new technology, yet his country looks like it's stuck in the 1980's.
He's a fraud and disgustingly Soviet. But it's so stupid to attack the whole country he came from. I work remotely and live in Ukraine with fantastic comfort, something that wouldn't be possible in UK with its hobbit like houses and restaurants. Also, I prefer to live in European and not Muslim culture, hehe
What a fake. I can't believe how awesome Derren treated this guy even though most people would've just laughed.
+LongLiveInspiration classic technique from derren, let the guy dig his own hole, he's making himself look like an idiot and can't say he's a victim because derren never did anything.
+LongLiveInspiration The only way you can treat a madman like this is with respect because otherwise they go crazy and you get nothing out of it. If you treat them with respect but keep on asking tough questions, you have no place to go.
Props to Derren for having some fucking class after those rude, bullshit responses
I honestly always respect people like him of Dawkins for not snapping when they interview these morons. You know when as a kid there always was one little shit who would try and change the rules when they didn't suit him? This is what they become when they grow up.
Darren Brown: Do you know his name, *grabs pen to write name*
haha fantasic
That was just painful to watch.
My only question is what this guy thought would possibly come from doing this show? Did he honestly believe he was going to fool Derren and get his endorsement?
LOL I'm not gonna tell you what's in the box because you're not a scientist? ha!
he sounds like a politician, doesn't answer the question and moves on to try and take it out on you a haha love you derren
Too true
Never trust anyone who sound and talks like a politician.
"Everything works inside of the brain"
So he's admitting it's bullshit?
How come the people that Derren asks, always pick on him and over react and treat him terribly? It makes it so obvious that they are fake. The smallest tiniest suggestion that something not real and they go crazy on Derren. You're so patient Derren!
That grammar though
He knows the human animal.
Derren, this kind of work is a tremendous public service. Thank you!!
"Can you see through the box" he replies "nah m8 th@s not science bro"
This is a LEVEL TEN Fraudster. A real champion of the scam.
Derren Brown you are such a dapper gentlemen, dealing with him so cooly. It must have been hard. :)
Derren Brown deserves more recognition for his work... Always loved his work and everything he does...
Wow! Derren is way more polite and patient in this interview than I would ever have been
Derren did the interview like a BOSS!
plot twist: the box contains the severed head of brad pitts wife
+Nathan Hudson WHAT'S IN THE BOX ?!?!
maybe waldo from wheres waldo was in the box its very possible.
What wife?
I can see the movie reference you did there
How dare Derren ask Bronnikov to tell him what's inside the box? It must have affronted the great man's ego to be doubted this way.
"I can fly!"
"Okay, fly then."
"How dare you hurt my ego in that way!"
I keep telling people that I am Superman, it's the truth. But I'm never going to show anyone. They should just believe me, and not hurt my feelings by asking me to prove it.
Juan Pretorius
You are not scientist
I cannot fly.
Juan Pretorius ok, here is a Kryptonite for you...
Aw Derren's so sweet, bless him. Few would have the patience to be that kind when faced with those kinds of responses!
how dare you ask me to demonstrate my powers!
what if a piece of paper is in the box; saying: "You are not a scientist and I will not participate in your circus."
"new technology" * points at his head* "it's all in here"
Bronnikov is a master of zone theory. Level 8 for sure.
I really think that derren had the right intention, this was a great interview!
4:43 "Crap... I'm running out of bullshit to spew..."
Derren's technique is very clever. I think he's being extremely polite on purpose. Frauds like this always try to get angry about something when they're put on the spot as a way of getting out of it. By being really polite he's forcing the guy to transparently invent something to get angry about.

Beautiful work! James Randi would be pleased.
0:47 when someone says “if taking it more seriously I was aware before I was born and I picked this body” I would tell him you can’t be telling me that you’re serious after telling me that you picked the body you’re in now, you were aware before you were born and that you can levitate. And if you are serious I’d suggest that you are mentally ill
I agree. In Russian all people agree with you.
Guys chill, not all Russians are like this.
Wiz Khalifa not true mann this guy is just rude as fu@k 😕 i have friends there they actually kind
Are there shoes in the box?
Bronnikov looks like he could be Carl Froch's dad
Lmao you could tell darren was getting pissed at the end. He kept a good amount of professionalism though.
Also the guy in Russia with no eyeballs who can see better than you and me with no name, he isn't real.
But he was born into not being real with full consciousness of not being real, so at least he's got that going for him.
jezaraknid314 You misunderstand, he doesn't exist, there is no such person.
i think he was trying to say that the boy can see better than derren meaning derren is blind / wake up kinda thing if you know what i mean
glenn miller exactly. that's an old russian sarcastic "smack-talk" if you will. i was kinda laughing when brown didnt understand, or at least pretended not to understand lol
Probably similar to the boy/girl who you were told cracked their skull by leaning back on a chair. Just a device to get you to believe something stupid.
Derren at end is like fuck it man get tf outta my face
Some of the translation from russian to english are very simplified - seems like somebody is trying to represent Bronnikov as a fool here.
That box, owned him so hard, laughing so hard right now. haha
i love how they can only do things in the right circumstances. you can either do it or not.
I live in Russia... and i want to say thank you, oh, and i'm sorry for idiots like this, unfortunately as the educational system here got destroyed these charlatans got more and more powerful.
"He's, how you say....fool of shit!"
lol Derren should invent a trick to see into the box and show it to Bronnikov... I'd love to see his face...
obvious fraud. probably deluded.
If you want to prove to people you have x-ray eyes, the simplest thing you can do is identify an item they put in a box without you seeing it, or is that just me being sane
I think it was impressive that Derren kept his cool with that man, I wouldnt have been able to
this guy must of done some serious disco biscuits hes still tripping balls
Artyom?
No fucking class from this guy. At all. Derren was such a gentleman, what a delight. You couldn't tell from Bronnikov's body language, but his speech was pretty fucking obvious that he was a scammer and a liar. Once you're pressured for the truth, start talking about others to get your image out of it, become aggressive. Exactly what this man did. Kudos to Derren for being lovely to pieces of filth.
I prefer the Sean Lock and Jon Richardson version of “carrot in the box”
Soviet Union he said? Wow, that's some old school hostility.
I think this was the man I saw some time ago on Russian talk-sow - he had brought with him a girl who, according his words, had learned to see when completely blindfolded. There was a skeptic who pointed out that, using big goggles to construct blindfold for small cild is sort of ..., then that she might have learned all cards and that "great teacher" are giving her signs, but it all went nowhere because auditorium was demanding to stop skeptic from torturing (?) poor child.

"new technology software, scientific psychological human development" sounds legit bro.
Perhaps he got the impression that DB wasn't really there to conduct an objective investigation but to find a flaw or disprove him. If that's what DB set out to do, then I don't blame the guy for refusing to playball.
It is annoying to hear translation when you speak Russian.
You get defensive when you are trying to protect a vulnerability. Bronnikov was completely defensive in his approach. If you have the capability, you'd want the world to know. His reasons for not participating were incomprehensible.
This Bronnikov guy seems pretty legit.

Derren: =/
Dude: "Oh yes. And in the next town you see, there's this other guy who was born without legs, and he's faster than Bolt."
Derren: I think we're done here..
This seems like a guy with a good lawyer
he chose this body consciously...why?
Lol
What show is this from?
Ya know, people way back in ancient times who had elongated skulls were considered demi gods.
What a nasty bit of work..... Good for Derren remaining professional and polite throughout.... All the guy had to do was say “I see two handkerchiefs and a jar of thick cut marmalade!” We would have all be blown away if he was correct.....
I wish I was as intelligent as Derren, top guy.
big shout out to prokhor zhakharov for the translation
Hes got a bigger ego than Putin...
Amazing.
The person doing the voice translation sounds a lot like the narrator from Metro 2033. I think it's the same person.
The ONLY thing i hate about videos like this, despite it's value, is that a lot of people often come away from it convinced there is nothing out of the ordinary or "supernatural" out there, consider his work with mediums etc, fraudulent mediums give a false impression of the reality of near death research, that being, that the evidence for the continuation of consciousness is actually shockingly strong and consistent and yet some people might consider anything to do with the subject as some charlatan type deal.
seems a lot lost in translation?
So very sad. But Brown keeps his cool.
What's in the boooooooooox?!?
They are real Psychic, for you can see young Doctor Strange at 8:11
Bronnikov started getting offended, he must have something to hide. His body language changed and started calling people names to try to direct Derren elsewhere in the conversation, Bronnikov knew he was had but kept yapping.
what does level 6 mean
Derren Brown is f*cking excellent.
level 6? no prob im prestige 3 in cod
Don't blame the guy, he's probably terrified of disappearing if he says anything bad
derren i feel ur pain i really do not like disrespect and you R really enduring
wait how do they understand each other
What was in the box? the 7 of diamonds playing card...
so let me get this straight... he is not proofing that the method works because Darren is not a scientist... but he doesn't want him to do an anti-commercial which is essentially proofing that it don't work... so he might as well have said this is a total *lie*.
8:41 LOL!!!
He had 12 t shirts???
I love this guy, dr. Bronnikov. What a fantastic answer to this braggart...
Such class
The box was lined with lead.
first thing first-check him if he's drunk
WHAT WAS IN THE DAMN BOX.....? was it a book?
Hés like politician responding another question !
When someone immediately becomes aggressive and defensive, you know they're full of shit.
i can see what is inside the box - can you?
Adam Smith
ah mum jokes.
Derren, with the knowledge of how to spot lies, was probably laughing inside
You can't know if someone is lying without knowing specific bassline, and you need to soend a lot of time with that person. Darren is full of shit like all conmans out there, he sells fog nothing else.
sorry derren, just reviewing some of your old videos xD
When his response to why he couldn't do the box thing was "you aren't real scientist" you know it's all bullshit"
Man, that translator surely sounds like Artiom from Metro 2033 :P
could that guy use his magic powers to bring his eyebrows back
Vyacheslav Bronnikov calls himself professional and says Derraen isn't serious was a load of crap to me. He has no idea what he was talking about and tried to move away from the question when all Derren wanted was proof it was real.
