    This guy renews my "faith" in the human capacity for reason. No other magic/mentalist shows have had me as thoroughly engaged, intellectually and emotionally.
    a bit on edge about the ethics of some of his psychological experiments on Netflix... lol but valuable to know what kinds of pressures can influence a real person to attempt murder in cold blood...
    And great stage presence too !

      I think you have lost it dude. Seems your notions of reality aren't stable and you're so gullible and foolish to think someone would take another life through basic suggestion/manipulation. Let's face the facts, he hasn't said anything extraordinary here, clearly he thinks he's more than he is. Not a psychological genius but a dullard, just like yourself.

      @@1cyanideghost wooooooooooah. Someone's in a poopy mood.
      (fyi the comment was referencing Darren Brown's show The Push, and others. not his statements in this video.)
      I'm sincerely sorry to say you're demonstrably incorrect about human susceptibility to manipulation even to the point of murder (see The Push, or learn about Nazi death camps).
      it's not exactly clear what triggered your insult tantrum here, but you sound very angrily rude and hostile. has anyone ever pointed that out? I don't think it's necessary, and there's prob healthier ways you could manage whatever has you so worked up.
      Hope you enjoy a better weekend, offline mr. ghost ✌️

      @@anthonypc1 I've come across similar highly cynical and critical ghosts on other such videos on RUclips. Somehow they are 100% convinced these shows are entirely scripted where everyone from the crew to the audience are "in on it" to make a complete fool of the viewer. And these hyper rationalists tend to get incensed if you hint otherwise.
      Myself, I'm somewhat in the middle ground. I find some of the more outlandish tricks to be too complex to successfully pull off without some behind the scenes manipulations we aren't shown.

    his voice is intentionally hypnotic w how he stresses the deep ness of his voice on certain words that are descriptive as well as using the pace of each sentence to ease you into the trance. Trance sounds heavy and complicated but we go in and out of them all day and actually it’s quite relaxing when you get into them. For example... driving a route you take every week is done almost wo paying attention. Ever finish a trip and end up home like whoa i’m here already?! or how did I get here.. Also beware of NLP and those skilled in using them. look that up! it might save you from a future manipulation by an unsavory character

    When I was younger I don't think any of this would have worked on me but now I fully appreciate how disorientating situations can be, where you look back and wonder why you weren't able to process something properly, why you did or didn't do X, Y, Z. I believe I used to not be suggestable but have become increasingly suggestable. It's almost as if part of my personality has gone away, I'm not as actively bothered about keeping track of things any more. I used to be very anxious but as that has subsisded other 'sharpness' has also subsided. It's not worrying, it's just strange.

    3:10 Derren’s talking
    3:15 he’s realised he’s set himself up for a naughty joke.
    3:16 he remembers where he is and what type of video it is and chooses to leave the joke unsaid, that why he pauses before saying position.
    Because it sounds potentially dirty, but in this context people will take it at face value instead of seeing double entendres.

    00:05 🎩 *Magicians, skilled in applied psychology, are often called upon to test psychic claims due to their understanding of how deception works.*
    00:32 🔄 *Magicians manipulate conscious and non-conscious processes, using techniques like false shuffling to control the outcome of tricks.*
    01:00 🧠 *Magicians can implant false memories during tricks, influencing the narrative and perception of the audience.*
    01:52 🌀 *Magicians utilize rapid hypnotic induction techniques, capitalizing on audience bafflement to enhance suggestibility.*
    02:21 🗣️ *Bafflement makes individuals hyper-suggestible; magicians, like politicians, leverage this to guide perceptions.*
    03:13 💤 *Magicians exploit their powerful position on stage to induce hypnosis, using techniques like interrupting handshakes to bypass conscious filters.*
    04:12 🤹 *Magicians continuously balance conscious and unconscious elements, filtering for suggestibility to shape the audience's experience.*
