Derren must be the greatest magician alive, because not only he knew what country she would choose, but he also predicted something totally unpredictable: that she wouldn't choose a country at all.
its not magic its psychology
@@maciejizdebski6705 its not psychology its magic
@@damasek219 how can you tell
@@maciejizdebski6705 Wait, its psychology when you ask someone do something and they decide not to do it but to do something that is nothing of originally requested??? :D Weird. I mean, to answer a question of "name a country" would give a limited amount of answers to choose from. Well true, countries are still many, but the pool of answers to choose would be still limited. BUT. When the person answering the question decides to answer anything else BUT from the pool of limited answers, trying to guess correct beforehand from the pool of infinite answers would be.. Let me say, imo just magical.
@@maciejizdebski6705 As Derren himself repeatedly says in his various videos. Not forgetting that there is no such thing as magic!
Jeanie, AFRICA is a continent, not a country. Always enjoy Derren's shows.
But it's not a country 🤔
Indeed not. And I wonder why he didn't ask for a real country.
I'm thinking he was being polite. Not a good experience to call out a guest on a public stage.
It's not, but it's one of the most common answer to that question 😂 that's how he knew considering he eliminated the obvious countries. She was scrambling for an answer under pressure.
@@Owlsworthy huh?
They had someone sneak in that card after she said the answer
My exact thoughts immediately. Hehe. So many dumb people out there, like Sarah Palin and such.
It was very clever flashing the word "FORGET" across the walls for a split second several times throughout the show.
I gotta look back now. Haha.
Yeah, I saw it when I went back to around halfway into the video, and let some play. When they gave their eyes closed, I saw it flash "FORGET" on the right wall. Hehe ;p Thanks. 😅🤝🔥
Really? You serious Michael?
Ok obviously I'm going to rewatch this until?????
PLEASE! Any help on the approx' times on the "FORGET" subliminal across the screen? It's very much appreciated, in advance of your assistance 😊...
HNY Everyone! Hope you all have a great, happy, prosperous 2023 and you are blessed with great health 😊

This was the first one of Derrens specials I saw on tv. I had watched mind control, and have been amazed by every single thing I’ve seen him do. My favourite entertainer. ❤
Africa is a great country. Glad they recently elected Simon Cowell as PM.

@@JUST-UK-JAY Its just an illusion.
@@CARLIN4737 take it to AGT ....Not america
Great showmanship and very entertaining... I've seen a lot of Derren's shows, including when they were originally screened. For the first time, I can work out how most of this was done, but it doesn't make it any less enjoyable...and there is still one element in this show that I can't manage to explain with certainty..... but I'm not spoiling things for others! Brilliant entertainment from a great performer!
An absolutely brilliant special! So well done. Thanks for the video.
Great Roman senator memory technique, but the ending about forgetting is amazing
I only realized that I had seen this before when I saw the interviews at the end! BRILLIANCE!!!
03:04 “if the kitten comes at you, you just cat shit”
Afica isn't a country, its a continent!
I am a 3rd year doctoral student in Counseling Psychology and I am always showing your videos to the undergraduate psych classes I teach! I would love to see you live in person some day if you ever come to the United States to perform!
Do you also teach them that 90% of what you see are simple conjuring tricks made to look very impressive by omission of certain steps.
@@DanLyndon So true! And it's worrying that a 3rd year PhD student actually shows this in psych class! It's insane
I really, really, really hope you are lying
Relax y'all --- it's part of extra credit where students get to explain how they think key terms related to the broader topic 'perception' may connect to concepts in the video! I'm not saying that I'm using him as an example of magic, I'm giving an entertaining opportunity for students to tie what they are learning in class to something tangible. @@AlexanderJordan-sv7nm @CallousCoder. Maybe I can use these comments in another course I teach where we talk about 'cognitive biases' and 'assumptions'. It sounds like you have a very skewed perspective as to what I meant when I said I use the videos for class purposes.
See reply below. @@CallousCoder
I forgot about this show
He is a super ENTERTAINER, and I hope he returns on screen. 11.05.;23
The pain the backstage staff must’ve felt as they had to hand write “Africa” under the country section before discreetly slipping it under the brick while the audience is distracted.
Especially as Africa is not a country but a continent --- "misdirection means you can make an elephant disappear from a room and no one will see it happen" I believe that was Houdini --- a brilliant performer!
@@quovadis5908Not “especially”; that is the sole reason why it’s embarrassing lol. Not sure of your point.
@@lc1715 Simple point --- "especially" was because how could he mentally have fixed on the person choosing Africa (a continent) when he'd asked them to guess a country (hence agreement that someone was scribbling backstage and why he didn't instead correct them).
No doubt he is a genius and top of his game --- best showman since PT Barnum (and he admits to using misdirection). Truly brilliant man.
this show made me forget that I've been dead since 1982
I feel like the bangs were for shock inductions/pattern interrupts, where he gives a suggestions for amnesia, but it doesn't show in the video maybe. Just a theory, this man is amazing
" Give me the name of a country please , Not France Or the United States as that may be to obvious..... Africa ". !!!! OMG ... She gives him Africa !!!!!! and he still got it !!!!!
You are awesome Derren, nice cufflinks too legend.
But the end 😂😂 mind blowing mate.
Much respect for the hard work you do 👍👍
Africa is a continent, not a country. That woman should have been publicly ridiculed for that answer.
G W Bush said it was a country.
The world has become a much smaller place the past two decades. It was still a mistake back then, but a smaller one than it would be today.
Not that deep
Well, to be fair Derren made her say it. But yes, very annoying that it wasn’t addressed at all.
Derren obviously knew that it's not a country etc etc?
However I have to believe that he was being very polite and didn't want to humiliate the woman (a guest and volunteer on his live show) and rightly so IMO? Unlike Frank L! Who suggested that she should of been ridiculed, and publicly ridiculed also?
Different opinions are partly what the comments are for, and ideally without people being nasty?
Peace
For the first trick, she says Africa and triangle a long time before she picks the envelope, during which the table is hidden in the dark. One can easily imagine a printer, and a system to place the envelope quickly.
It would have been better if it said in the envelope Africa is a continent not a country
Best 480p upscaling I've never seen!!
Africa is my favourite country too 😆😆
My favourite country is Europe
@@shaunbarnett2972 Asia is also a great country to visit
The first tine I saw Derren I thought he was amazing; the greatest magician in the world! However the more I watch the more I see the obvious slight of hand stuff he does. For instance the thing of putting the envelope behind the brick...as if an assistant didn't have access to it back there in the dark. Still lots of what he does is incredible..but some is just so obvious.
A lot of it is very simple things like you just mentioned, but he distracts most people from guessing and that is the art.
From what I see, he used similar techniques as body language analysts and statement analysts
And he made all cabbies stand up. There were four in the audience. So it looked like he could have picked any of them at random. But he couldn’t have. Paul was a member of his team who had been pre selected and the route and everything planned out together before the show.
@@SummerMayDay How do you know
@@zeldagoblin It’s the only way to explain a trick of that intricacy.
Geography is hard. I don’t even know where triangle is
The way he guesses ppls names is so impressive .. not to mention everything really is
The audience are handpicked . His team has their names and their seat numbers....you really think he is guessing ? lol
Whos name did he guess?
@@catocross9542but he didn’t guess the audience members name he guessed a name she was thinking.
Genius, it's all about micro expressions and gaining access to the subconscious. I think for the final one, it was all about the explosion, not only was he able to catch (subconsciously) with his eye Sheperd's Bush Green written from behind, but also the shadow of the mic projected the "path" onto the map, not sure about Buckingham Palace, maybe cause of celebratory ceremonies, Bang, starts with a B?
This is from 2005 right? Nice to, ahh, see it again Derren
Thanks, it's a pet hate when people don't put the date on videos.

It's raining down Africas in the comments.
Guess I'll bless it.
He knew which envelope she would choose, made her second guess, third guess, a hundred times over, thinking that he could be lying to her, or telling her the truth to trick her, or possibly tricking her into thinking he's telling her the truth to trick her, until the whole problem was incomprehensible to her because there was that sort of loop of perceived trickery. It's not difficult to create a loop like that, I could give my brother right now a 50/50 chance and guide him into that loop of trickery. The difference is that my brother would give up on the loop, and the chance would still be 50/50. When dealing with Derren Brown, there is no chance. No matter where you give up on the loop and come out, he is there waiting.
I’m from the country of Asia but now I live in the country or Europe
Wow this is absolutely incredible, bravo maestro!
I would like clarity over why he allowed Africa as an answer and made it clear either he knew she'd make a mistake or not. Leaves more doubts than belief and a highlight of a great show by a negative.
I've just finished watching this show and all that I can remember before the interviews are a bang, a red light and some flashes. Reading the comments I can grab something else, but based on the interviews I guess he hypnotized people to forget the show? Did he? Because I'm a good subject and it wouldn't be the first time some of his tricks worked on me! 😅 I went to Showman and I was of those who forgot their names. Unfortunately I wasn't chosen to go on stage, my friend was luckier!
The Africa thing has been bugging me ever since this was aired. Every few months since 2005 it will creep its way into my thoughts and make me wince. I’m not sure what annoys me more, that she said Africa in the first place, that Derren didn’t correct her or that he PREDICTED it
what was the very quick flashes of the word "FOOT" about? i dont know if any one else see them
It says forget. It's based on a principal that stimuli (such as the word "forget") can be flashed on a screen and the viewer can take that into their subconscious without their awareness. It's a way for some viewers to have the experience of forgetting parts and it kind of got me to forget a little bit for second it's a weird feeling! Very interesting!
Reece shearsmith is bloody awesome
The silly comments are ridiculous. "He's not clever, he's doing xyz" , "The staff are writing stuff and planting it", "He's hand picking that audience" You guys are giving me "hold my beer" vibes . He's happy to tell you he uses misdirection, suggestion, showmanship, sleight of hand. It's as though you've decided he's trying to pretend it's magic. He's an entertainer, and he's great at it.
you're giving "giving "giving vibes" vibes" vibes
@@ndf3 Read my mind, come on
Henrietta --- read Cialidini "Influence". Commitment / Consistency is very powerful as someone makes you commit before many, you will not want to change your mind.
There is more than magic, there is a thing that is beyond magic it is therefore beyond human thinking, as there is no word for it
Errm. Its dark to the left of the podium whete she got the letter with the triangle Africa etc. Enough time for someone to fill in the space.
Yup. That one was easy. It's just the rest of the show!
😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
I REALLY DONT THINK THAT YOU COULD PUT ME UNDER ANY OF YOUR MIND CONTROLS. I WOULD LOVE THE CHALLENGE. I LIVE IN CALIFORNIA U. S.
THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS, Carlos ✝️🙏❤️😊❗️
I really don't think the you will ever have the chance to prove it, because first of all you should catch his attention, Mr nobody. So take your challenge and go find a b class hypnotist, which is closer to your level,in order to be his hypno chimp,if of course you convince even him that you worth his wile!!! Ha ha ha 🤣😂😂 lunatics who are starving for attention are not interesting subjects, unless they have a lot of money...
Proof, ladies and gentlemen, that you should never change your mind!

Amazing how he predicted Africa even though it’s not a country 7:06 💡
It especially bugs me that Jeanie chose "Africa". ( It's not a country. Africa is a continent. )
But she didn't 'choose' it, it's power of suggestion so she had no real choice.
I swear I already saw that show 🤔
I am pretty sure FORGET show up 15:40 and once before that. 11:05 as well.
Misdirection, misdirection, misdirection 😊
15:42 The word "FORGET" shows on screen. I noticed it at live framerate and had to go back and play by frame to double check I was indeed getting subliminal messages lol.
First time I noticed it was when Reece Shearsmith came out at around 11:15.
It was also at 27:45 at the far right on the yellow wall
superb!
I knew she would pick the triangle. And I knew the girl Charlie would write 45 even though I wasnt watching what was happening just listening. So something is going on lol
In other Specials, he’s shown that he finds ways to manipulate the environment to influence peoples decisions. He did a special ones where he guessed what toys someone would pick from a giant toy store. Guessing that the person would pick a big stuffed giraffe. Afterwards he showed that while that person walked into the toy store they were a lot of long objects, and I think even pictures of giraffes in the entrance and that played a role in influencing the ladies choice of a stuffed giraffe. He did another special where he put certain things along the way while a person was driving home or something that he knew, would influence some of the things that person would do during his show. He also did one special where he made people draw a picture halfway through the show. At the end he had everyone show their drawings and it was a bunch of drawings of circles. I remember halfway through the show I drew a circle and it freaking blew my mind when I saw it as well. So he does a lot of psychological manipulation.
Weirdly the whole time I was thinking choose the tick envelope, I just knew somehow. Though obviously I'm not there live going through what she's gone through so maybe it would be different in real life.
I think a lot of people want to know what happens when you are dead, things they will ask god if there is one….Not me, I want to know how Derrin does it.
Africa is not a country,its a continent!👍
A very old principle described in 13 steps to Mentalism by Corinda ¿Is it original ? or made in Chams Store... 😅 Have a nice day from California Magic Castle
i’ll bet darren is a nightmare opponent in poker 😅
27:07 I saw some word there went on there for a flash
I think ive seen this before 17 years ago !!! Can we have some new material please.
damn, complaining about a free video on youtube, you know there is more hours of video on this site than there is hours in a human lifetime, I'm sure you'll find something if you look
What's up with the flashing message on screen? 15:42
Stop trying to make me forget!
All very convincing except the 4 and 5 scribbles. But overall a magnificent presentation.
how wasnt the 4 and 5 impressive when the phone nr from the other dude also was 4 and 5.. there was no other form those scibbles could be iff u where looking for numbers
@Vugen18 @Bryan Walker I am watching this at home for the first time…when he did that particular trick I decided to think of a number too…I thought of …45
It made me wonder if maybe that is a number that for some reason we automatically think of.
@@Vugen18 There was no way, imo, that second scribble could be considered a 5. She had drawn two closed loops, one on top of the other, so if you were going to call it a number, the only one you could say is 8. Realistically, it didn’t look like a number at all, since the loops weren’t very round or symmetrical, but they were closed loops nevertheless, which an 8 has two of and a 5 has none of.
But Derren simply had to suggest it was a 5 while claiming the audience thought it was a 5 as well, and suddenly it seemed reasonable. No one actually agreed with that to start, he just said “you think that as well” while looking at the audience and nodding, and of course he’s great at what he does so it sounded natural and as if people had made that suggestion to him, rather than him making the suggestion and just claiming others agreed, which is what actually happened.
Anyone know when was this filmed?
2005
When Africa was a country.
name a country
"africa"
...
"emotional damage"
Since when has Africa been a country? Good to see that school wasn't a complete waste of time...jeez
The paper had Africa written on it, so he psychically got her to give the wrong answer
An assistant writes whatever they say onto the card....you really think he is going to leave something like that up to chance. You can't make people pick answers, that's the illusion he wants you to believe.
@DerrenBrown Please please Please come to Melbourne and have my friend Dom of VisibleInk do your Posters and help organise All stage and extra hands and Roadies, as he is brilliant and has been doing Stage Performance Poster Signage for decades here and the darn Covid Lockdowns in Melbourne were the longest in the world....

Country of Africa on the continent of... Um... What?!
The addle-headed new king needs to knight this guy!!!!!!!!!
Debbie and Charlie.
Africa used to be a country back then I think, love this show!
What? No
😂😂 yes the days of the country of Africa
You'd be surprised how many people think it's a country
With a Ghanaian father this really annoys me😂
Back to the times of the Roman Empire what is now Tunisia and Algeria is actually a country iirc (It could also be just a province) called Africa . That’s where the name for the continent comes from.
👍🏽😎👍🏽
Don’t breathe too hard there’s bad asbestos in here 🤣
Poor Reese wasn’t allowed to watch the performance
Africa is a continent not a country how did he anticipate they would also be stupid?
I thought of 48
africa is a continent...well done lady lol
vaughn and triangles. HE JUST MAKES ME A PIZZA.
Toto
Im pretty sure she chooses triangle because the tree shapes are set up in a triangle.
Isn’t Christian at 19:28 that interviewer that pisses people off?
He should have said "I knew you were going to choose Africa, but as we all know its a continent and not a country. Try again."
Wait- Africa isn't a country??
Pretty good considering Africa isn't even a country.
name a country: Africa lol next country would be ... Europe?
it isnt fair.
Africa is not even country in the first place
Africa is not a country Derren...
lose the triangle.
Afrika is NOT a country. It's a continent.

Africa is a continent, not a country!
Africa isnt a country?
as if Africa is a country lol
africa is not a country LOL
AFRICA... nope, not a country.
Africa is not a country.
the country Africa.how interesting.at least he' just racist and not homophobic
How do you know he is racist. People make mistakes and sometimes are not just properly informed. Why would you jump to conclusion.
Here we go with the race card.
What an unhinged reaction. For starters, why would he be the racist when it was the woman who said it? And if he predicted someone would say it, all it proves is some people's ignorance of geography or more likely that people panic under the spotlight and just blurt out a location. Some foreign people don't know the difference between the UK and the individual nations comprising it or how any of that works. Does that make them racist? Of course not. And obviously he's not homophobic, he's literally gay. Muppet.
Henrietta was silly. It was clearly in the other envelope, why didn't she change her choice to take the money? Was she stubborn or just dumb?
I believe that by pretending to forget her name at the beginning, he ensured that she would never be swayed by anything he said even if it appeared to be in her favor. I don't think Derren actually makes those kinds of mistakes and believe they all are purposeful. I can't figure out how switching to the mouse picture was purposeful, though.
@@zetteharbourcoach3859 it was the fact that he was correct by NOT changing the picture, ergo she would be correct by not changing her envelope choice
@@dancurtis8476 Great spot.
