It's not fat, dude. It's power. 😂😂😂

It's not fat, dude. It's power. Lol.

but he does his superb tricks-illusions in a range of circumstances without needing to play a fake scientist card

Yep exactly what I was thinking! Stereotyping at its finest 😂

Go watch his vid on milgrim experiment & power of perceived authority. Or go watch "rule from the shadows: the psychology of power" if you want a complete understanding.

Just because he's a scientist doesn't mean he's blind.

He's smart after all.

LegendaryJx I called it before he picked it.

Natural selection says that he would do that.

lmaoo I know XD

I'm seeing him live in May, I cannot wait!!

@@Seetheebebe how was it?

Yes can smell it

Looks to me like he's about to play a demon in the original _Charmed_ TV show.

I was thinking the same thing.

No tattoos or wokery

@@jimbo4375 ⒻⓊⒸⓀ ⓄⒻⒻ!

Actually I was thinking you and I can get something going for the better of mankind and ☮️

I mean, people do use these techniques to start cults.

laser325 😂😂😂 miced up? What's that mean laser.....does it mean she's rough looking? Lol

laser325 lol....sorry i don't know but i was reading "minced up" 😂....you have a good set of eyes on you......I'm guessing they wouldn't mic everyone up. They must be all actors.....well spotted

I am sure they were all mic'd up...*shocker*

Who's the Daddy? Meeee toooo omg

None of them was miced up but all of them was mic'd up watch the whole show he talks to and does things to them all

It was to do with the coin surely? - Queen Beatrix of Holland

@@jonfromtheuk467 he manipulated him really earlie. at the moment the guy choosed the girl he already knew that it's a cap. it's a mix between cold reading and manipulation, very interesting

Both completely wrong

@@TheRobbieEffect Then please explain how it's done? You've responded to all these people telling them they're wrong, but I'm doubtful you actually know how it was done.

​@@rje613 I've binge watched a ton of Derren off and on for a decade and as I've gotten older I've stopped believing his spiel about manipulation or mind-reading or whatever. I think it's just magic tricks that he dresses up as some sorta psychological thing to throw people way off. He's amazing at it tho, but I think it's just magic tricks, not like reading someone's eyes and micro expressions i don't think that's possible to this extent

#busted

@Steven Baal 🤣🤣🤣🤦‍♂️ oops

🤣🤣🤣

Completely wrong

@@TheRobbieEffect You're being manipulated daily just from advertising. If you don't believe it, that makes you just even more susceptible to being manipulated in this way.

@@zaph1rax lol that is nothing to do with how this magician does his tricks. You are seriously deluded.

@@TheRobbieEffect Derren Brown is *not* a magician though.

@@lucasgrey9794 lol what?!!!? That is EXACTLY what he is. Are you on drugs?

lol...well spotted...you are right

I'll help you feel old, I'm Dutch and I never saw one in my life...

mullahviking you are perfect fodder for a medium. You make all the connections for him

You could make such an association with any letter.

I think the B reference was to get him thinking of B words for the next segment. "Up and Down" also might get you thinking in terms of baseball as in Three up, Three down. I might have missed others, but that's how he does it sometimes. He plants the idea there for you to find on your own and think it's yours.

Lol

The producers probably are responsible for that.

So Derren's best trick was convincing people he could plant ideas that complicated. You can influence people to be more likely to think of something in particular in certain scenarios, but you can't convince them to guess things like "blue baseball cap." I have a ton of respect as this might be an example of the greatest misdirection I've ever seen. Consider this: he has never been shy about showing how he "planted" an idea, so why in this example and this example only does he get rid of the audio? He says it's so people won't figure out how to do this, and he's telling the truth. It's just not for the reason he implies. I can't think of *exactly* how he did this effect, but I find it lots of fun to try to think of ways to reproduce. Heck, he's one of the reasons I got into magic/mental magic because I realized he was veiling these techniques with psychology in the same way old mentalists veiled them with spirituality.

Adam Bordelon these clips are from shows that aired over 10 year ago

What was this from? I've never seen it before. And I thought I'd seen all of his tv shows.

I don't remember which program sorry - I binged watched them all over a week or so, they're a bit of a blur!

thewiseturtle This was on his very first programme from 2000

You’re very wrong

@@TheRobbieEffect Then what does he do, magic props like mirrors, or stooges?

@@M4STERDJ he uses the exact same tools and gimmicks every magician uses. He just frames it as mentalism which fools most people. At the end of the day, he is a very talented magician. Nothing more.

@@TheRobbieEffect Some things arent doable with normal tools. Such as the invisible Man trick.

Given the nature of this trick I'd bet he could make it work 100% of the time, but he definitely didn't get it through "planting thoughts" or cold reading. Something obscure, like it being any object this person owns, would require some kind of control where he could have this information before or during the routine.

He's sold books on magic tricks in the past. Most magicians start by studying magic that way.

ukposts.info/have/v-deo/q3Wed4exrJuqpoU.html here you go.......

it's my fave

I saw that a long time ago. At first, I was stunned. But then I came up with a hypothesis about how Derren might have pulled that off. As I remember it, it wasn't just that he guessed what they subject had written on his paper, but that the guy didn't even remember that that was what he had written. The guy was, to the end, incredulous that "BMX bike" was what he had written on the paper. And this made me suspicious. He didn't even remember writing "BMX bike" on the paper. That just seemed too far-fetched. So my hypothesis is that, at some point, Derren got a hold of that paper without the man knowing it. (He is also a skilled pickpocket if I'm not mistaken. If he isn't, he could get a skilled pickpocket to do the job for him.) And replaced it with a piece of paper saying, "BMX bike." The rest is simple. I think Derren himself has said that sometimes part of the trick is leading the audience to believe he accomplishes a feat in one way, when in fact he is accomplishing it in another. And if he didn't say that, I still think he does. But he's still awesome!

​@@ssppeellll The guy had NOT written BMX bike on the paper, he'd written "little jacket"! that's the whole point! (there was NO paper with BMX bike written on it in the entire video), so can you please explain, WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT??!!!

@@childofvenus3781 lol *leather jacket, also yeah what the heck is the other guy talking about, he made a hypothesis on something that his mind completely made up loool

AcousticSong - Guitar & Co The "B" was never there. The guy looked like he was going for a "w". Derren got thst wrong but when you watch it back you can see he's going for a "wuh" with his mouth

The B was him subliminally placing the idea for a Blue Baseball cap

the queen on the coin is actually Juliana, according to some other commenter

This is the great part of Derren's brand of Mentalism. We see the explanation we want to see. Derren knew it was the coin so clearly he knew it was Queen Beatrix! Derren can implant the idea of a baseball cap from a single letter cause he's that good! Derren just made a mistake lip reading! This is why I love his technique. He gives people so many things they can latch to to make sense of what they can't explain.

my man

Becky C yeah. . Freezing

I can do the same by photo (or could in the past) what would you call that? Seeing whatever I intended to find out, what the place they live looks like (floor their room is at, color of the building walls) if there are pets around (saw a dog and it's color) if there are other people (saw a woman and a girl, described age and appearance), saw where the person is working at (works standing, in a different location often), saw the car they drive (very unusual round front, never seen that model, describe color). Everything was a hit. Some misses like saw a white van outside the house thought it's related to subgects work (didn't ring a bell) dont remember any other misses, unless dog lighter color, and the car not very dark green but black. They showed me a photo of the car first time I saw the model and the fron was indeed very round just as I saw it. Did it with multiple people in an online chat, did a ton of other related stuff, what do you call that? I'm not at all ready to dismiss the element of ISP in Derrens methods, that he doesn't necessarily have tobelieve.

"I can do the same by photo (or could in the past) what would you call that?" A lie

"plus people who make a living from psychic abilities often feel they have to produce results even when they have no fucking idea" very good point "a lie" very cute

Please take the man at his word on this; Derren Brown is not psychic.

He put a finger up her bum

he is telling about facial expressions and how the facial muscles move according to specific words. the man was trying to keep a poker face but when she mentioned "something related to sports..." his face reveals she is on the correct path.

He told her to describe a blue baseball cap

@@payambehtash7124 wrong. Its staged and he just told her what to draw. Why else would they mute it?

@@lomadurohaciendoand1 if it was staged they could do it in a more subtle way than telling her

Cold reading

Plus other things. Including actually pushing ideas onto people. I believe in these kinds of cases, he's planting those images (as in a baseball cap) into both of these folks' minds.

but it looks quite warm there?

Most of the new stuff on UKposts here is old. I've never seen this one before, though. It might have been a deleted scene from some older show, though.

Well, unless he’s magicked his hair back.

Yeah it is from the early 2000's he use to have a show on nearly every night on channel 4 back then

i mean come on now, look at the clothes people are wearing! look at the hairstyles! VERY obviously late 90s early 2000s :P

Definitely not cold reading. Cold readings depend on getting reactions and buy in from the person you are reading. You will never divine what a person is thinking of. You may be able to "reveal" that he owns a blue baseball cap, but not guess that that was what he was thinking about. There are other things not shown on screen at work here.

@@Rhewin bro how did he do it please teach me lol

Check 1:18. Mic goes in ear

Justin Blake you had slipped to the future

Maybe UKposts suggested it again. You watched this a couple of years ago. Remember the scientist in the white lab coat?

Maybe with the high number of people watching the video, it was always likely that at least one person watching would guess what the item would be. I was wrong with my thinking, even though I know I watched this before I couldn't remember what happened as it was years back. And as the one person watching it who guessed correctly, well done to you, but in reality it was always going to be guessed by someone watching.

He said... It's his ' BLACK BASEBALL CAP' you thick 😃

I see your point, LongGameValue, but no. It's very difficult to be objective about your own experiences. Observing someone else's experience puts one in a much more objective position. In a situation like this, the reader (Derren Brown) can guide the interaction based on how the subject responds at each point along the way. So if the subject gives a facial twitch or a slight movement of the hand (which is resting on Derren's hand), Derren can "read" that, and direct the next question or suggestion accordingly. And all the while, the researcher, because they are also the subject, is spending part of their attention on thinking about the questions and suggestions from the reader, and on trying NOT to show a response. That doesn't leave a lot of attention left over for objective observation. Does that make sense?

He is immortal. He also has a good makeup artist, I presume.

old!

If I could I would have done so already. Have I hinted to have an explanation?

Reading my 2nd comment now, it sounds a bit harsh. Sorry for that.

well he also has a camera right there, which is looking at what he selects, could that information be passed to Derren secretly and quickly ? very possibly. Is this the way it was done ? no idea ! Also the second part is even harder to understand unless he tried this 100`s of times with different groups...hmmm

Derren is very intelligent. He knows a number of items have to fit into the briefcase. As always he would have researched/tested what people would grab (we all have certain levels of similarity). He tested if it was sentimental through the length of ownership Q (who can answer so quickly without um's for some general household item) He can see the space limitations. He then narrows it down to something that fits inside closed hands- coins, broaches etc. He then cold reads to narrow down rough location & item type then goes with most likely. If scientist had given him a look of surprise when he said feeling 'b' I would have beem shocked if he hadnt said broach instead of coin.

memeandmyself The scientist was suppose to hear it
