So many people in the comments that simply don't understand how this works. I feel for you guys, I really do. He shows you how he forced the song into his head through out the day and you're still calling them actors and stooges. Funny.
Except that all it takes is 10 seconds of Safety Dance or any other catchy stick in your heard song shortly before Derren approaches him and the whole "trick" is moot. For a lot of Derren's stuff, the trick is making you think its a trick.
Right but all those things are very convenient and easy to fake. Plus as said below, any other song could take that out of his immediate memory. He'd also have to know the song, and the producer wasn't doing a very good job of whistling. I bet if this experiment was repeated it would have like a 60% chance of working.
It's actually a good thing that we can't read each other's minds because we'd probably be appalled and devastated at what we found; mainly at the (moral and intellectual) shallowness of the average person's thoughts and what that means for humanity. But that shallowness is what makes people so easy to influence.
I think the exact opposite, if given everyone has the ability, we would find solace that were not alone and everyone has thoughts from the profound to thoughts of the extremely shallow. what makes people able to be influenced is a millions different things. One as, im going ahead and guessing by the nature of your comment, you whom I believe believes yourself to be intellectual has to see the irony in your own comment on the shallowness of it, hope you can handle this as a lot of people wouldnt be able to, take care
I think at first we'd all be horrified but as everyone came to terms with the fact that everyone's brains are screwed up in some way it would probably be more beneficial than not.
It would be a stepping stone onto asking why we have the thoughts we have. For instance everybody would know how many sexual thoughts and what exact kind of sexual thoughts were had and by which people and at what stage in life. The negative/inappropriate thoughts of the supposed more educated/decent people would be revealed. We would then want to remove negative sexual references from tv/internet media and we'd then see the rates of rape and other negative sexual behaviour decline.
6 yrs on, but what the heck. I think if we could hear each other's thoughts it would be gibberish. We don't think very similarly to the way we speak imo. Odd words and disconnected phrases, sometimes conflicting, and layered on top of one another. Sometimes we might be rehearsing something we intend to say, or replay something we did say, so it "sounds" like we have an intelligible inner voice, but even then that's just a top layer. There's more thinking going on under that, at a lower volume. Really look at how you think, you might find, as I have, its mostly just impulses, instincts, fears, desires, and emotions that we try to make sense of. Like a decision-maker presiding over a meeting and taking suggestions on what to do from round a table of barely-known and often untrustworthy advisors.
that explains the classic: oh! i was thinking of that song you humming! thing. somewhere earlier in the day we were together listening to that tune without even realize, and it stuck in our brains.
+CJ Rocky I had Bitter Sweet Symphony in my head too. However I think this is just because Derren has used this song before when performing the same type of stunt.
We did something similar to this to a guy i used to work with. I am a software engineer so we as a group installed a very simple app that looks through a bunch of photos of coca cola cans and logos and flashed them on the screen for 1 or 2 frames of the monitor every so often. The guy we did it with eventually bought one after never having bought one before. He genuinely didn't know why he had the urge. As odd as it is, it works and it is how marketing is done when done well :-)
Oh. It was through the use of suggestion. At first I thought you were able to read his lips subconsciously while he was playing the song in his mind. Cool & Unique Motion Picture.
I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he also talked to his partner beforehand to help plan the whole thing, including working out where he works, where he would be going etc so that he could plant people in the right places and at the right times, and of course also work out what songs he knows relatively well.
If you wanna learn an amazing mentalism trick and look like a real mindreader, than watch the performance of this crazy guy here: ruclips.net/video/kx5qlNJBH0I/видео.html
What if the subject didn't know the name of the song or had never heard the song before all the subconscious environmental influences? He could have heard other songs throughout the day of which he knew the names. One is probably more likely to remember, in this case a song, when the song is listened to involuntarily, if one has had prior exposure to it, and moreover knows the name of it.
my bad is very good at this and I also very good at summing up a strangers character just by looking at them for a while. although he can't 'read' my mind, he said I'm a one track mind and the first thought that comes to my head I stick with it..... he's said that why I'm very bad with people, I don't think past my first thought or don't ask/think about why people do what they do.....
This is brilliant!!......it basically said Darren didnt read his mind but he planted and idea or brainwashed him without him knowing it, thats what you call guerrilla marketing
Hey derren. Love your work and how you debunk the mysticism...i actually enjoy studying psychology, metaphyics and quantum physics....anyway could you plz recommend some materials for me to browse plz. I stopped trying to learn all the terminologies and keep focused on understanding what is called phenomena. Thank you
Metaphysics is horseshit. Get a degree in physics if you want to learn legitimate quantum physics - a lot of math and has nothing to do with the universe delivering all you desire
Dang, that's sneaky! I don't know most popular songs so they could follow me around all day whistling whatever they want, but what will be stuck in my head is the Coffin Dance. 🤣🤣🤣 That's a well known tune, right? 😂
I am not naïve enough to believe that Derren Brown is posting these videos himself, and I suspect that they are being posted in his name by a lower-level employee (perhaps an intern) of his manager's firm. Nevertheless, I have a suggestion for him (them). For the title of a show, he should use *The Wonders of the Invisible World*. I didn't think that up, and the title is in the public domain. It's the title of a book by Cotton Mather; his account of how, under his prosecution, 14 women, 5 men and 2 dogs were publicly executed by hanging in Salem, Massachusetts, in 1692, for the crime of witchcraft.
This guy must've been selected at least a couple days in advance, and then they did background on him, maybe even got access to his home and friends to find out what music tastes he enjoys. If that had happened to me, they probably would've done something from the 80's.
You know, once at work, when a coworker was giving us the night's tasks and asked if there were any questions, my old manager, totally unprompted, said, "Does that make sense, John?" I think she asked me in particular because of all the times I didn't understand previous tasks and demonstrated my slow, limited learning ability. That was the night I struggled and delayed getting something for a coworker and the said manager had to help me find it. I think she thinks I'm...well, whatever is a nice, more respectful word for "stupid," since she surely wouldn't use or think that mean word, especially consciously. Would that explain her "random" question to _me that night, no one else? That she thinks I'm slow?
Can someone explain to me how some mentalist can say to someone to think of a name and they think for example about their dog's name and he can just guess it without any tricks?

@@elephantgrass631 I would do this, too, to be honest.
so if Derren ever reads my mind, I know that he's been following me all day... that's great

You don't need to hack into someone's dream to do inception.
You just need to hire Derren Brown
I fu**ing love this man's work! Great job Derren, keep it up!
haha
@@maisiethedog5182 whats funny
I love how the sweet and shy Derren totally cons everyone, not in a scary way, just with music :)
Derren proves to me that his kind of magic is real and it astounds me every time.
Derren proved it to you the same way Peter Jackson proved Middle-Earth is real
I had twinkle twinkle little star
same
2 words: your profile.
Or was it ABC, or was it bah bah black sheep? Can you whistle it?
What a rush, for both of them right when the smiles starts to break, damn I want that feeling!
That's the same trick they use in the movie Focus. ....they program the marks mind by telling him what to think.....absolutely AMAZING
that explains the classic: oh! i was thinking of that song you humming! thing.
somewhere earlier in the day we were together listening to that tune without even realize, and it stuck in our brains.
strange i had the same band but different song
i had bittersweet symphony in my head
+CJ Rocky I had Bitter Sweet Symphony in my head too. However I think this is just because Derren has used this song before when performing the same type of stunt.
I did too.
Advertisers know this. Sometimes it's nice just to go somewhere quiet and not have your head infected by sounds and imagery.
It would be interesting to see how that would work on me, since I don't know that song.
An excellent ressource for Mentalism is Implanting, got it.
The thumbnail looks like he's desperately trying not to laugh when someone just farted in a business meeting
Underrated Comment 😂😂😂
This scared the shit out of my, because I was honestly thinking of The Verve - Bittersweet Symphony.

Good song choice
Oh. It was through the use of suggestion. At first I thought you were able to read his lips subconsciously while he was playing the song in his mind. Cool & Unique Motion Picture.
Wouldn't work on me. Haven't heard that song.
he was trying to get the tune into the guy's head all day
Yeah but what if the person didn't know of the song or didn't know the name of it?
He was using a song very popular at the time. You guys are idiots.
I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he also talked to his partner beforehand to help plan the whole thing, including working out where he works, where he would be going etc so that he could plant people in the right places and at the right times, and of course also work out what songs he knows relatively well.

+Tristan Viranyi They probably made sure he knew that song.
Any male that age in Britain knows that song, although Wonderwall by Oasis would have been a safer bet
Tristan Viranyi if it fails it is not shown
Lewis Morrison Not any.
That’s why he uses actors.
Hi Derren Brown,
Could you tell us how you can work out the number somebody is thinking off by making them say it out loud ?
thanks
my bad is very good at this and I also very good at summing up a strangers character just by looking at them for a while. although he can't 'read' my mind, he said I'm a one track mind and the first thought that comes to my head I stick with it..... he's said that why I'm very bad with people, I don't think past my first thought or don't ask/think about why people do what they do.....
Reminds me of the film “Focus”
I had bittersweet symphony.
very strange :P
lol :P
Thanks for your Educational Videos.
I swell I’m a mind reader sometimes 😂
Good talent to have
Just me who wishes they could have a full cover of this?
I'm glad I'm sat on the toilet 🚽 watching this, just in case there's some other thing derran slipped into the video that I was unaware of 😂
I had "We didn't star the Fire" by Billy Joel
Me too! 😂
Of course it has to be a common song, one that the person already knows of. And the whistles were meant to trigger a "recall" plus a "conditioning"
Remember people..its just tv.
thats weirs i was thinking about bittersweet symphony
Me too. For real.
If anyone has the chance to go to his live tour, definitely go

Spooky
I was thinking Bruno Mars. Uptown funk. And now you are too
maybe he didnt want to be rude and just said it was he didnt seem too convinced
Dang, that's sneaky! I don't know most popular songs so they could follow me around all day whistling whatever they want, but what will be stuck in my head is the Coffin Dance. 🤣🤣🤣 That's a well known tune, right? 😂
If you spend too much time on RUclips.
I always thought someone was doing this to me for years
This is some focus shit right here
anyone else think this version of the song is pretty nice
When Derren Brown isn’t busy He reads the5e comment5...Hello Mr.Brown!

"Reading" someones mind and "How to read" someones mind are very different things.
does this actually work. How come nobody tries to think of something he couldn't possibly guess.

Hi sir .i am from india.any book for reading minds.
name of this series?
Can someone explain to me how some mentalist can say to someone to think of a name and they think for example about their dog's name and he can just guess it without any tricks?
Well I guess it depends on who u ask, if Lucifer is evil or not.
what is the name of this music?
I thought I had seen all of Derren's shows, but I don't recall watching this. Where is this from?
you were hypnothized relax
+KnightKu quite sure it's from the experiments - the secret of luck
+Alex Stock Thanks! I actually did watch that, but must have forgotten this segment.
+KnightKu no problem :) It's at the very beginning and quite unrelated to the rest of it, maybe that explains it
I was thinking of walking on sunshine
So you stalk them then make them, think they just thought of something even though it has be there subconsciously all day.
I was thinking of the song "happy birthday".
Wonder if he can help with phobias
Where is the end
Weird thing is, when he said think of a tune, I thought The Verves other extremely famous song Bitter Sweet Symphony
Me too.
it kinda looks like the thing will smith did in the movie "focus"
I chose hit me baby one more time
is that Del Boy in the background?
So reading people's minds is fake
I was thinking of Bittersweet Symphony by The Verve.....
Me too.
How does he know exactly where this guy is going to be before the show?
Who watch the movie focus? It is exactly the same
Thats the Balham Bowls club!
Derren brown knows the secret.

Here we see a rare creature named Derren stalking its prey
I knew that's what he did lol I remember it from the movie focus
Wtf I had The Verve too but bitter sweet symphony!
So what happens if this guy coincidentally didn't know the name of the song, or hadn't heard it ever before?
I was thinking of the Mario theme tune
I clicked on this thinking "Welp a manwitch has gotten onto the internet." But I was pleasantly surprised.
I was thinking "little brown jug" or whatever that very old song was
