Very funny

liken00ther99 lol sometimes I wake up at like 4 and it’s so blurry that I am like oh crap better hurry then I realize and then I sleep in XD

Same, iget new job every day and get fired 😝😝

XD I see 9:11 (was an inside job a lot), 11:11, 2:34, etc. XD :3

Derren chooses the not so switched on people or people who are very nervous.

2 minutes 59 and 6.8 seconds = 3 minutes 5.8 seconds. Damn, you must be new to this counting business.

johnpetermalcolm he read the stopwatch wrong, you missed the point lol

He actually said 2.59 and 68 seconds, which = 4 minutes 7 seconds. Damn you must be new to this whole shit show.

johnpetermalcolm and then he ‘corrected’ himself and said 6.8 seconds, the point is that he read it wrong because the stopwatch said 68 hundredths of a second

Guess what you are not the only such person. I used to get up exactly at the time I had wanted to without an alarm. But unfortunately for me that talent didnt last long after I met a strange one similar to Darren. My life took a turn for the worse. And yes , I too am broke , unmarried, no kids no nothing!!! lol!!!

dang

Well, marriage is an absurd and statistical failure of a thing itself. Business contracts and often includes some debunked religion. Legal theft even occurs in cases of prenups (a paper that says well this didn't work but you cannot legally steal my stuff please). Around 70% of divorces are by women and many of the cases don't involve abuse. Around 85% of suicides are by males, the majority of homeless are males, the majority of hard drug users (around 3 million people die annually from alcohol and most are men), most job related accidents and deaths are by men. So, it's safe to say, you're doing great, as you said yourself, you're relaxed. Not paying a rigged child support forced charity system or anything of the sort. More people are realising how awful the world is and don't want children or marriage, especiallyyyy in such a non-vegan operated, purposely poor and unhealthy world. Scientists are saying humans will destroy themselves by 2050 instead of by 1000 years or so. All the wild fish will be gone by 2045 and then the even more unhealthy farm fish will be all that's left, according to major scientific sources. So on and so forth. Puppet presidents and JFK getting killed over trying to end the foreign "Federal" Reserve for the second time in American history, and trying to expose "secret societies" they he was apart of. Nixon's "temporary hold" on trading in gold and silver from 1971 that still exists today for our fake fiat money system. In the 80s, it was illegal for Americans to buy a lot of gold and silver, anywhere in the world. Liars on the left and right. Exposure on the left and right and people turn blind eyes and then just point to the other. Wishy-washy society. Around 36% of Americans are Centrists but only the two party dictatorship fascist tyrannical system wins, though multiple parties exist and it's just not two parties for many other nations. #RichDadPoorDad, the best seller in personal finances since its release in 1997, explains all that and more! So, yeah, you are doing good there! :D Keep it up. I'm on the same boat. Hehe.

Lool

Hell, even 59 and 6.8 seconds is impressive.

Indeed!

He’s that much of a stubborn fuck that he would have done 1 cat and dog, 2 cat and dog for as long as it bloody took.

@jcorb Funny almost all are cheats

LOL Been there done that.

lol

Couldn't agree more🤔

very soothing, especially with that ambient background sounds

I wouldn't even say "no homo" after sexing him the entire night

Wait for him to turn the page. Count until he turns the page again. It doesn't have to be an accurate count of seconds, just a consistent pace. Knowing how far you can count while he reads two pages, estimate the count to the passage you memorized. Count to there. Derren only had to be correct to within 5% of a page-turn interval to impress most people. A better reveal would have been to start saying the words he would just be reaching, as though reading through the guy's eyes.

You shouldn’t be so eager to accept his explanation. I am almost certain that’s not how he does it.

His explanation are total BS most if not all the time. It's just part of his tricks.

I think it's more than that. With speed reading courses and the ability to relax on command, it is possible for someone to memorise an entire book just by flipping the pages. I have no doubt Derren has this skill. So he just had to know the timing of his reader, and could have guessed any word on any page

I think he has a very good memory. An eidetic memory.

Ye, one of the simplest actually

Exactly what I thought, although Derren’s participant probably turned over more than just one page; the sequence was cut and edited to make it seem like a lot of time had passed and probably ‘glossed’ over a few of the participant’s page turns. But your reasoning stands the same: pick a group of words midway down a specific page of a two-fold of pages, work out the average time the participant takes to read a two-fold, and count the number of page turns from the starting point; form there, work out roughly the end point and voila.

What does NLP got anything to do with it

MrID36 oh ya

When he thumbed through the book he picked a spot and noted the page, listened to him turn the pages and counted.

ThatOneNerdGirl - Story checks out 👍🏻

ThatOneNerdGirl he didn't listen to him turn the page, he walked behind him probably on page 106/107 and then waited for 1 page turn

OP gets it. That's exactly the point.

Yeah I do hate you too because you are just plain wrong once again

That actually happens to me a lot when I need to be up for something specific (not work) - I very often wake up just minutes before the alarm goes off as if my body knows it's time to wake up. It's even happened when I forgot to set the alarm.

grose zero yesssss

literally

Hmmm

He quite openly looked at the book and what page the guy was up to. That does not explain how he would know the exact phrase he had reached at any time in the future but he got it right. People read at different speeds. Had DB read the whole of this book beforehand to know what was on that later page? Most of the explanations given in these comments are very naive.

He looked at the book before the timer started, he checked lets say 10 pages past his bookmark and remembered a couple words in the middle of the page, then as the timer was going on Derren just counted how many times he turned the page and waited a little until he would be around the middle of the last page.

looked a few pages ahead of where he was, counted the amount of buzzes between page turn to get an idea of what would be halfway through a page. If he even picked some words on the same page the guy would have been impressed and reacted in a way that would suggest to viewers Derren was spot on, the closer the better.

Catalicous Pie same

Ross Carlson I always get up before the alarm

Yeah, I'm exactly the same, even if I have a late night and would like a lie in, my body clock wakes me up a couple of minutes before I need to be up. It always amazed me but I just thought we could all do it! ......edit: I meant to reply to this comment 2 years ago but slept in!

@@randyedward5314 if u dont i have to kill myself

Cool J McCool ok...

Robin James Thanks... I commented about the video and it's context of time keeping. Sorry you didn't find it interesting. I just wanted to share my experience with the video. Thanks for taking interest in my comment, and thanks for being highly condescending with a small response, a talent and skill you have used well...

Cool J McCool yeah.

Robin James Again another lovely, and in depth reply, with a great insight of the understanding of the comment section, and it's use/function. Truly, a reply saying more than it means, and less than it implies. Fascinating, remarkable, inspirational. Rejoice, all those who need not say anything, but choose to with minimal effort, your saviour is here in the form of one word, a true genius, a martyr if you will, praise on to he, Sir Robin of James. When too many words do too much, say one, and more is said.

Cool J McCool sorry for being a dick but your responses have been so funny lol

No. No one has an infinite IQ. It is impossible for many reasons. Do you know what the word "literally" means?

Wow, 3 mistake in 1 silly comment... . Literally and infinite don't go together. . Infinite IQ makes no sense, literally, pun intended . IQ has little to do with this video; Derren Brown is smart, sure, but not necessarily super high IQ

Hugo Pelland wow you must be fun at parties

same

I think so. And a helper with a good zoom. At least it cannot be excluded in this setting. So having that in the back of the mind, it does not amaze me.

Like the time when he was in Vietnam?

D Seamus “like the time that a clock saved my life”

You nailed it. Lots of misdirection but a pretty simple trick.

Yup. He often talks about the power of suggestion in Psychology. Just by timing it so close to where he was at in the book, by saying the specific words and redirecting him to the middle of the page, most people validate the answer.

Steven Loitz also he used a very distinct phrase that many people might re-read a few times

you can hear him flip the pages, count page flips, wait a quarter of the time

Pretty much, yeah.
