The guy who gives his shoes and socks... ouch the FEELS! Even though it was likely encouraged by the subliminals, it still takes a golden heart in the first place to do that. I love good people.
I definitely don't think he made anyone do anything that was outside of themselves. But you can't help everyone. How many homeless people do you see in your life? This experiment showed how deep our generosity runs. Most of us who are too generous learn to suppress the pocket-emptying urge because we can't afford it. Obviously plenty of people walked by without even glancing at him so no amount of subliminal suggestion changes a person's heart.
@@ronnieherd9247 Some of it is based on the fact that most people DON'T do as DB suggest they will. When he gets a hit, he shows it on his show. Just the kind of thing he makes fun of when talking about mediums an the like. Strange you should make a comment on something I said about this vid. I was watching it again as your comment came in. Hmmmmmmmm
@THE ONE look at the motives, please. Controlling a nation to keep companies in power, that's plausible. Controlling a nation to cover up serious crimes, also plausible. Controlling a nation to soften the moral impact of invasions in other countries, absolutely understandable. If you wanna go more subtle and less overt, how about just slowly conditioning people to be susceptible to control in general? That's one of the main functions of social media, and it's way more successful about it than any conspiracy theory could possibly be. So that reason's already taken - it would be entirely needless to duplicate. So - controlling a nation to suppose the world is a different shape to the shape it is? I always ask this question. What possible fucking reason would they do that for? Who gains from that? It's nonsense. It doesn't advantage anyone. There's no reason to conspire in order to make that happen. And that's how you sort the plausible conspiracy from the complete nonsense. Look at the motives. Look at the advantages. See who stands to gain, what they stand to gain, and whether they'd realistically notice or care about gaining it. It's a pretty simple filter. Nobody sets up deep conspiracies to control masses of people just for the kick of it, there's always a reason. Governments control their populaces as much as they can get away with, all the bloody time. But it tends not to be the kind of things that you make movie plots out of. It tends to be the kind of things that actually get them something.
@THE ONE I watch plenty of fiction, yes. I understand the concept of hiding things in plain sight. If you're talking about movies, the classic example would be the big fat cat corporate villain - deliberately consistently portrayed as cartoonishly over-the-top in fiction in order to keep people thinking of it as fiction with no basis in fact. And it's not any one particular studio telling any one particular movie "write it like this" - it's just the balance of averages on what stories do or don't get backed. That's how that happens. But there's a reason for that. There's a lot of money and power wrapped up in perpetuating capitalism. People have a lot to lose if that system ever changed to another (and the people that would gain from that shift of system aren't the ones with the power to choose which movies get made right now). That's the general nature of corruption. The incumbents always alter the rules in order to maintain their incumbency. What possible thing do they gain from people thinking the world is the wrong shape, though? The answer is nothing - nobody gains anything from that. There is no reason for it. So I will ask you again, not how they could do that, not are they capable of doing that, not have people ever done that for other reasons, and not even how they would hide it if they were doing it - the question is WHY would they do that. And it remains unanswered.
the funny thing is, if you're susceptible to hypnotism, then the only reason this won't work on the internet is purely due to that one line where he says it won't. otherwise, there's absolutely nothing different between internet playback and the TV broadcast, and if you're very susceptible to hypnotism then it will work.
ahh, finally. the episode that terrified me as a kid, i watched it around friends and family the night it broadcasted live, and had never heard the name Derren Brown.I couldn't sleep that night, That creepy and eerie tone that played during the film that left a few friends glued down, haunted me. After that,as an early teenager,i became somewhat obsessed with his work, and slowly learned there was nothing to be afraid of, you are in control.. mostly. He honestly was one of my heroes, and still is. fondly look back on as an adult. the tone that plays during the film still feels so familiar to this day. I was always jealous it never worked on me.
The real "Control A Nation" trick here was not sticking people to seats, it was making an entire audience at home stand up to prove they weren't stuck to their seats. That's control by misdirection. Genius. "This may not work on the internet" was also misdirection, to make the home viewer feel they were in for something purely directed to them, which they were; misdirection. The subliminal images were not in fact subliminal as they were visually perceptible meaning they were each present on screen for too many frames per second to be "subliminal", another misdirection, to sow the seed. When he brought up the guy earlier to choose a chair, a pen and number three blocks, he brought him up during a phase where the ambient lighting in the room was green, the table top was green and clearly the guy colour matched the chair. The pens were ordered in such a way as to cause him to choose a different colour, and given how it was presented to him, and his left-handedness, blue was a given result. The numbering of the blocks - watch it again.. Derren siad there are 3 blocks (touching the camer- side left bloc as he said "three") and you have to number them in any order you like from one , two , three ( on "one" he touched the middle block) and guess what , the guy followed his instructions to the letter. Replay and rewatch the subtle programming.
I absolutely agree with your comment, but the "subliminal" images were on the screen for just one frame. Of course, that doesn't invalidate your point at all. There was an audible beep sound accompanying them at times to draw your awareness to it.
thanks for telling me, waited for darren to explain the guy with the colours and blocks. i had 312 in mind too. I actually find it a bit more interesting when I know how its done.
The cleverest part of Derren's shows is how he gives you a false solution to his tricks, to make you feel smart for "getting it" while he seems like a master manipulator. I'm afraid the chair/pen trick is really a lot less impressive than it looks. An assistant is watching the cameras from backstage, and picks the blue pen, then writes the numbers onto a photograph of blank cubes, and puts the photo in an envelope together with a photo of a blue pen and a green chair. When Derren goes backstage to get the mic stands, they switch envelopes.
Derren Brown is really out here trying to make us better people telling us we can move forward in life and encouraging us to be generous, empathetic and self aware
Does he? or is he now working for SAGE? Remember he made a Remain advert 5 years ago, quickly dropped when realised you dont use a well known hypnotist to push a political message
Makes me remember so well in Sheffield in the late 60’s local kids making magic shows in their own garages in our area near Abbeydale Rd - and being more than totally absorbed. More magical experiences I can’t remember until watching Derren as an adult. Wonderful memories - just recalled now.
This is acceptance hypnosis, basically he didn't do anything subliminally but telling you-you're going to get stuck and to just accept it. He made you feel like this is a sign of creativity, however its a basic principle that susceptible people open to the idea just do what he's asking. No trickery whatsoever.
In the performance with Joe, he had someone back stage with a selection of previously taken photos. As Joe selected the CHAIR, PEN, and the ORDER IN WHICH THE BLOCKS WOULD BE ARRANGED, the back stage helper would place the appropriate photo into the envelope as Joe was making his selections. When they went to retrieve the black stands, it didn't show Darren getting his stands that were conveniently placed just out of sight, THAT'S when he switched from the envelope that he was previously holding to the one that contained the correct selection of photos.
The young guy giving his shoes is an absolute gent, subliminal or not I think he is just so generous and considerate. Well done on another fantastic show Derren ❤😊
I'd honestly rather be stuck on a toilet than a chair. At least on the toilet you can go about your business whenever you'd like. Being stuck in a chair could eventually be problematic in that regard
33:58 Didn't anyone else notice that they deliberately made everything much quieter than before to make you turn the volume up? (So the audio in the recording would then be louder)
It's no wonder people believe he really reads minds! I like Derren because I can never fully work out how he does it, or even where to start sometimes. Other magicians like Dynamo are easily figured out by eliminating the impossible and imagining the probable, and it's usually right, if elaborate. But Derren is different. I think it's because I'm not sure what's _'impossible'_ because I'm not a master of the mind. But make no mistake, Derren is a true living legend. (And I'm so glad I can watch these for free on YT!! Thanks Derren, hope you stay healthy & happy )🖖
i want to be susceptible to hypnosis, so i let it linger for a few seconds. each time i got close to moving, i felt the urge to let it linger a little more because i want it to be true. unfortunately, i am able to move whenever i like lol
you wont believe why is it!!! Because hypnosis, in this sense, DOESENT EXIST!! Wow! Crazy, right? Wait, what? Ppl on Derrens shows are just pretending? No way, they woldnt ever....
Kryptonite I feel the hypnosis but it’s not strong enough to make me not move but it makes me lose some energy and I don’t want to get up but if I want to I can get up so I think it works like 50 percent on me
Derren should does this same thing for those of us who can only catch his show over the internet. that would be amazing to actually be a part of one of his shows that has already aired.
I remember watching this live on television, I did get stuck my seat. I remember following his instructions to a tee, and then listening and imagining what he was saying constantly. It worked for me, people in my house thought i was lying, but i genuinely was stuck to my seat.
I don’t really know much about Darrin Brown or how he does his thing but what a nifty little trick this would be in the hands of our government. No more worrying about who the people are going to vote for In the next election, “they will vote for who we tell them to vote for” and so on.
@@jollyjapesinnorfolkandsuff2625 hard to believe isn't it and yet it's happening right in front of our eyes, shocking how easy it is to manipulate the masses
I noticed three things; when derren is talking to her at the beginning he points upstairs and makes the shape of a giraffe with his arm and hand. When they’re looking at books there’s a big coloured surface with silhouettes of giraffes . . Then when they are riding up the escalator to the following floor you briefly see another giraffe . . She’s getting suggestions on every floor and derren is making sure she’s subliminally aware of all the giraffes with what he’s saying
I honestly didn't think it would work on me but I took a little bit more of an optimistic approach to this than I normally do for these types of things. Shortly after the film was over I noticed that it wasn't too difficult to move my back so I thought it didn't work but when I tried to get up I just simply couldn't. It wasn't until I took my hands and pushed down on the arm rests and basically forced my arse off the seat that I was able to get up. This was before you mentioned anything about playing a video that would help us get up.
By derren constantly repeating the number 19 to the subject at the beginning her mind automatically thinks of the number 19 and it becomes the center of attention for her and therefore she wants to keep that number
I noticed in the bit before that he kept saying “two” to her not sure of anything beyond that but I do think after watching him for about twenty one years I listen for numbers or similar when he talks to people.
More than 5 years later now. Derren started the video with te suggestion and did a short induction before the film started. I have been a "trained" subject for years now and I recognize the techniques used. Short inductions never worked on me, until now. Thank you Derren.
Even tho I was aware of his tricks, I just let it sink in. The first time wasn't really powerfull, because I was distarcted by thinking about how it was done and it went away after few seconds. So I tried it for the second time, but fully concentrated on this and it was amazing. But then got bored, took deep breath and just stood up.
I thought so too but to be fair I was purposefully looking out for them since I knew the topic of the video. Like the lottery thing it seems he's just offering a fake explanation.
the whole show is a setup. he practically opens with a complete description of what he wants viewers to think. i don't even particularly like this one because the metamessaging is so thick it becomes distracting. in fact, i enjoy the experiments more than the events as a whole for this reason. the events are just too loaded. it's hard to pay attention to _everything_ he wants the television audience to be doing. *if you want the most blatant example of what i'm talking about, find and watch "the gathering". he's got a gimmick in there that makes the whole show feel like you're trying to listen to an underwater conversation.
I'm going to watch his show in April so have been to watching lots of his older stuff. Thanks, I'll check that out. I get that he's saying what is going to happen so maybe the more influenced people will be 'tricked'. In this, it is pretty blatant which I guess is why not many people went for it. I particularly liked his show where he predicted which word on which page on which newspaper a member of the audience picked.
@@ArronMurray I didn't. But he got me on that people one. I closed my eyes to block myself from knowing who has the lose. And I went for the man with no. 19. And guess what.
Tom Scott introduced me to Derren Brown with his latest video, and I am honestly very glad he did. Derren Brown is amazing, and I would never have discovered him if it weren't for that one video Tom did about broadcasting laws.
It's astonishing seeing this so long after its first release because subliminals and that kinda stuff are well known by now. I could move my arms and legs after a while but my butt was just stuck. After a a few minutes I managed to pull myself up a few inches but it was so hard and exhausting that I got pushed back again. It was such a crazy experience. As soon as I thought yeah I can pull myself up again I got sucked in again. Only managed a few millimeters and then it was too exhausting and I knew I had to wait longer :D
bloody likes is still 19 people .. the number he made you choose in2017 .. its now 2020 .. was tempted to like .. but cant do . it .. .. that would ruin the fun
Your belief system creates a nervous response that makes you subconsiously focus on the heaviness of your butt. Then the same belief that you are stuck stops the impulse to get up.
The Giraffe trick is one of those tricks that will work on some but not all. He probably tried it with a number of people but just showed footage of the time it actually worked.
yeah no it isn't. it's a magic trick, he forces the giraffe on the audience member, it will work every time as long as derren performs the illusion correctly. if you seriously believe somebody can be influenced to such an extent by silly little subliminal messages that they barely noticed then you're gullible as fuck, and i've got some real estate on the moon that you might be interested in buying.
eKko0 Guys I’m sorry to break this to you but mentalism is nothing more than regular magic tricks that are dressed up to look like psychic powers. How about you do some googling on how to perform the tricks, and prepare yourself to have your illusion of derren’s mental techniques completely shattered. They are nothing more than traditional magic tricks.
@@MultiCheeseLouise youre right. The only problem is you and i have watched lots of darrens work so you and i have the idea of this. But not all people think alike. I bet youve been fooled and lied lots of times in your life by people who doesnt even know magic tricks, psychology or mentalism. Now can you understand what i want to say?
I believe Derren may have one of the most in depth... practical understandings of the different ways the human brain can work. I hope that when he decides he's done performing he puts out a book describing what he understands and the reasons he thinks why these things happen (or prepares a book to release upon his death, if he feels he will never want to stop performing). I'm talking his understanding of hypnosis, religion, con artistry, and how these things work with some conjuring tricks (magic tricks) he's done. He's combined so many different things in such strange ways that while other humans may have an understanding of an individual principle, I feel he may be one of the only ones that understands the full or at least a larger potential of said principles.
I've seen the special before, and I know what happens. Before, it didn't work, but this time I went in with an open mind and wanted it to work, and it did. I couldn't move my hands from my lap or my feet from the floor.
I knew she was going to pick the Giraffe when he pointed out the doll houses, infront of one of them was a giraffe and I thought "That's weird what kind of doll set has a giraffe" and then I started seeing giraffe print on the walls and stuff.
I remember watching this on TV. At that time it didn't really work but it DID this time on the internet🤣! Is it because the computer screen resolution has improved a lot since? Maybe the TV screen was too small and I was sitting too far back then? I recently went to see Derren's latest SHOW and it was amazing!!!
I've been stuck in my chair since last Christmas :| Number one, I do wish Derren had mentioned the studio is no longer taking phonecalls & number 2 (no pun) that I may have needed a colostomy bag.
I was sitting on the bus as I watched this, and I almost missed my stop! The driver was very understanding tho, and held the bus for a few minutes to get myself un-stuck.
It worked for me on my iPhone 5s. It felt like the muscles I needed to push myself up off the seat weren't responding to my commands. Mostly in my thighs, and when I tried to lift my feet it couldn't lift them very high or very easily. Alone at home on my love seat.
I feel like it wasn't about the film, but rather what he was saying. Because Derren has achieved this in some other shows of his without a video. And by saying it won't work if you're watching on the Internet, that's what actually makes it not work. Also, some people in the studio weren't able move their hands/arms either. But it was assumed people at home would, because otherwise they couldn't make the call. So they didn't apply the suggestion to their hands, whereas some people in the studio did, as they didn't have plans to use them. Also, I feel like the very specific instructions on how to sit in the chair were not really there because the film is designed for that position or something, my guess is it's because some people are more susceptible to the suggestion (which is not designed for any precise position) and when it doesn't work on someone, they can think "oh, I probably did something wrong". And it won't affect you if you don't sit in that position on purpose simply because you don't expect it to affect you then. An other thing is, what if there's a sudden power outage that turns of the TV before he unsticks you? :D Well, my guess is that that situation would overpower the suggestion, because when you know eventually he's going to unstick you, you give in more and subconsciously there's not really any need to get up. When there is need, though, as otherwise it would seem you'd be stuck forever, you let go of the suggestion. That's just my guess, anyway. I still don't know how he does the speaking suggestion anyway, of course. :)
Also, I am really confused about the UV thing. How can that affect you if you can't physically perceive it? That way it's not perception without awareness, is it? I'd say it's done differently. (All of this is not an attempt to undermine Derren Brown's work at all, don't take me wrong, just trying to make sense of it ;). )
Also claimed it to be down to low resolution from a pc screen and that's why it won't work online, but the resolution on a pc screen is actually higher due to the manufacturer acknowledging that the viewing distance is shorter and therefore needs to be higher. In fact you will find your iphone or smart phone has an even higher resolution than your pc screen as the viewing distance is designed for an even shorter distance.
I remember watching this on TV when it was originally broadcast and I was sort of stuck to the seat, I did manage to stand, but it was very heavy and difficult to do so.
@@RogerCRocha He said Two to or too far too many times. He was stacking it in her favour by telling her number two was a win. Pity she read the signs for 19 instead.
"Nothing will flash on screen" immediately flashes images of people bound in ropes up

I remember watching this episode years ago... its hilarious looking back at how much hype this got. Love this guys work!
Me 2,,derren brown is a legend,!!!
Did it work at home for you?
33:58 Didn't anyone else notice that they deliberately made everything much quieter than before to make you turn the volume up? (So the audio in the recording would then be louder)
andyjmwm yes it happens in all of the 30 mins + videos of his i dont know why tho
Most TVs have an automatic Volume Leveller that you can enable in settings via the menu.
It's been five years, and I still can't get up. Please, Darren, TURN IT OFF!
It's no wonder people believe he really reads minds! I like Derren because I can never fully work out how he does it, or even where to start sometimes. Other magicians like Dynamo are easily figured out by eliminating the impossible and imagining the probable, and it's usually right, if elaborate. But Derren is different. I think it's because I'm not sure what's _'impossible'_ because I'm not a master of the mind. But make no mistake, Derren is a true living legend. (And I'm so glad I can watch these for free on YT!! Thanks Derren, hope you stay healthy & happy )🖖
Anyone else feel immediately heavier after he said he will literally stick us to our seats?
i want to be susceptible to hypnosis, so i let it linger for a few seconds. each time i got close to moving, i felt the urge to let it linger a little more because i want it to be true. unfortunately, i am able to move whenever i like lol
He did say it won't work at lower resolutions.
Kryptonite Has was
I was watching it intermittently while eating and suddenly I found my palm to be very sticky.
you wont believe why is it!!!
Because hypnosis, in this sense, DOESENT EXIST!!
Wow! Crazy, right?
Wait, what? Ppl on Derrens shows are just pretending? No way, they woldnt ever....
Kryptonite I feel the hypnosis but it’s not strong enough to make me not move but it makes me lose some energy and I don’t want to get up but if I want to I can get up so I think it works like 50 percent on me
Derren should does this same thing for those of us who can only catch his show over the internet. that would be amazing to actually be a part of one of his shows that has already aired.
Some might say that since the invent of TV, entire families have been stuck in front of it ever since
Also love the word "try" as it's mentioned in another video how it's used to reinforce failure
I remember watching this live on television, I did get stuck my seat. I remember following his instructions to a tee, and then listening and imagining what he was saying constantly. It worked for me, people in my house thought i was lying, but i genuinely was stuck to my seat.
i think you are lieing - otherwise you would still be stuck to your seat from watching it on youtube
@@akyak333 read my comment again 😂
I been three years and I’m still stuck in my chair. I’m starting to get concerned now.
Please tell me how you managed 3 years without drinking water. I'd love to know how.
@@GirGir183 no
I don’t really know much about Darrin Brown or how he does his thing but what a nifty little trick this would be in the hands of our government. No more worrying about who the people are going to vote for In the next election, “they will vote for who we tell them to vote for” and so on.
Along with "they will wear a mask, have the jab, bang pots on Thursday nights, accede to a vaxpass to go for a pint...." ;-)
@@jollyjapesinnorfolkandsuff2625 hard to believe isn't it and yet it's happening right in front of our eyes, shocking how easy it is to manipulate the masses
I knew 100% she would pick the giraffe. I'm so proud that I knew what to look for. I guess I've watched too much Derren Brown.
Jungbeck
Or maybe his trick worked on you too and you just don't realise ;)
I was thinking giraffe too right as he went to the doll section, he tricked us lol
I saw a frog puppet and said that 😂 but yeah I knew she'd say giraffe
I noticed three things; when derren is talking to her at the beginning he points upstairs and makes the shape of a giraffe with his arm and hand. When they’re looking at books there’s a big coloured surface with silhouettes of giraffes . .
Then when they are riding up the escalator to the following floor you briefly see another giraffe . . She’s getting suggestions on every floor and derren is making sure she’s subliminally aware of all the giraffes with what he’s saying
@@4231jerome yeah that’s what he said
I honestly didn't think it would work on me but I took a little bit more of an optimistic approach to this than I normally do for these types of things. Shortly after the film was over I noticed that it wasn't too difficult to move my back so I thought it didn't work but when I tried to get up I just simply couldn't. It wasn't until I took my hands and pushed down on the arm rests and basically forced my arse off the seat that I was able to get up. This was before you mentioned anything about playing a video that would help us get up.
I love how the concept of this TV show is literally the concept of all TV shows ever made.
I was so scared watching this live as a kid. I love Derren but he freaks me out so much!
By derren constantly repeating the number 19 to the subject at the beginning her mind automatically thinks of the number 19 and it becomes the center of attention for her and therefore she wants to keep that number
I noticed in the bit before that he kept saying “two” to her not sure of anything beyond that but I do think after watching him for about twenty one years I listen for numbers or similar when he talks to people.
Okay but imagine they went to all that effort to make her pick a giraffe and she picks a dolphin lmao
I Love this full episode, thank you about the big lessons for my life!
More than 5 years later now. Derren started the video with te suggestion and did a short induction before the film started. I have been a "trained" subject for years now and I recognize the techniques used. Short inductions never worked on me, until now. Thank you Derren.
Imagine the fire alarm goes off when they’re all ‘stuck’ to their seats
*walks over to me* Derren: “ What’s it feel like to not being able to move” Me: “Oh I just didn’t want to get up”
So wonderful - I wish we had this charity suggestion display here in NY
Even tho I was aware of his tricks, I just let it sink in. The first time wasn't really powerfull, because I was distarcted by thinking about how it was done and it went away after few seconds. So I tried it for the second time, but fully concentrated on this and it was amazing. But then got bored, took deep breath and just stood up.
I'm guessing the images of the guy who was tied up flashing on every now and again were red herrings?
yup too long to actually work
I hope so, they were bloody obvious
I thought so too but to be fair I was purposefully looking out for them since I knew the topic of the video. Like the lottery thing it seems he's just offering a fake explanation.
the whole show is a setup. he practically opens with a complete description of what he wants viewers to think. i don't even particularly like this one because the metamessaging is so thick it becomes distracting. in fact, i enjoy the experiments more than the events as a whole for this reason. the events are just too loaded. it's hard to pay attention to _everything_ he wants the television audience to be doing.
*if you want the most blatant example of what i'm talking about, find and watch "the gathering". he's got a gimmick in there that makes the whole show feel like you're trying to listen to an underwater conversation.
I'm going to watch his show in April so have been to watching lots of his older stuff. Thanks, I'll check that out. I get that he's saying what is going to happen so maybe the more influenced people will be 'tricked'. In this, it is pretty blatant which I guess is why not many people went for it. I particularly liked his show where he predicted which word on which page on which newspaper a member of the audience picked.
Govmnts of the world now, "Hold my beer"
We need derren brown to do this again I did it as a kid and it worked! It was so good ❤
Your belief system stops your impulses, which is odd.
hastily made rotating lines? flashes when you're not supposed to? placebo lying effect? perfect!
Funny how D. Brown put on an Irish accent when he played the homeless fellow.
he looked exactly like my mum and dads friend it was trippy
"Insert who came from Tom Scott here"
Me. Did you stick to the floor?
Yup me
@@ArronMurray I didn't. But he got me on that people one. I closed my eyes to block myself from knowing who has the lose. And I went for the man with no. 19.
And guess what.
I watch his vids but just found this on recommended
Tom Scott introduced me to Derren Brown with his latest video, and I am honestly very glad he did. Derren Brown is amazing, and I would never have discovered him if it weren't for that one video Tom did about broadcasting laws.
This was an interesting, informative. Video here….. REALLY REALLY SERIOUSLY LIKED THIS ONE. Hugs Derren
I Will take this to heart. We need change and Im The Savior but not yet seen.... 😊
You know if Derren has Kids he'd use this on them to stop them running around
I believe about as much in Derren Brown's events not being staged, as much as I do in
James VanPraagh being a psychic.
Another excellent presentation.
Jerzy
He gives a disclaimer but knows everyone is still gonna watch
YOOOOOOOO It actually worked for me for like 10 seconds that was the weirdest and coolest experience I have ever had 😳
Im 10 min in and green is everywhere.
I remember watching this live on TV years ago haha took it very seriously was hoping I'd get stuck to the chair... Didn't work 😂
I saw a live show of Paul Daniels in London about 30 years ago. He had audience members on stage who couldn't get up from their chairs.
It's astonishing seeing this so long after its first release because subliminals and that kinda stuff are well known by now. I could move my arms and legs after a while but my butt was just stuck. After a a few minutes I managed to pull myself up a few inches but it was so hard and exhausting that I got pushed back again. It was such a crazy experience. As soon as I thought yeah I can pull myself up again I got sucked in again. Only managed a few millimeters and then it was too exhausting and I knew I had to wait longer :D
didn't work on me
How long did it take before you could get up?
With the number trick just think of a number from 1 to 20 before derren tricks you and you almost certainly going to win.
bloody likes is still 19 people .. the number he made you choose in2017 .. its now 2020 .. was tempted to like .. but cant do . it .. .. that would ruin the fun
@@davidmckwan6847 wow nice one
Love this! Thanks Darren!
Hi mate, hows the cat rash coming on?? Ive jus done mine, looks peeerfect x
Although I was able to stand up my legs felt very weak and I slumped back into my seat almost immediately. My legs felt like they were made of jelly.
Only 6 minutes in and Darren has emphasised "TWO" more than a few times, I wonder if that will come up 🤔😂
Weazla I wondered the same thing!!
i got stuck for like 30 seconds, intensly insane
Your belief system creates a nervous response that makes you subconsiously focus on the heaviness of your butt. Then the same belief that you are stuck stops the impulse to get up.
I just love him so much
The Giraffe trick is one of those tricks that will work on some but not all. He probably tried it with a number of people but just showed footage of the time it actually worked.
yeah no it isn't. it's a magic trick, he forces the giraffe on the audience member, it will work every time as long as derren performs the illusion correctly. if you seriously believe somebody can be influenced to such an extent by silly little subliminal messages that they barely noticed then you're gullible as fuck, and i've got some real estate on the moon that you might be interested in buying.
@@MultiCheeseLouise if derren performs the illusion on the correct people* btw how much for the real estate?
@@MultiCheeseLouise you give people way to much credit
eKko0 Guys I’m sorry to break this to you but mentalism is nothing more than regular magic tricks that are dressed up to look like psychic powers. How about you do some googling on how to perform the tricks, and prepare yourself to have your illusion of derren’s mental techniques completely shattered. They are nothing more than traditional magic tricks.
@@MultiCheeseLouise youre right. The only problem is you and i have watched lots of darrens work so you and i have the idea of this. But not all people think alike. I bet youve been fooled and lied lots of times in your life by people who doesnt even know magic tricks, psychology or mentalism. Now can you understand what i want to say?
I believe Derren may have one of the most in depth... practical understandings of the different ways the human brain can work. I hope that when he decides he's done performing he puts out a book describing what he understands and the reasons he thinks why these things happen (or prepares a book to release upon his death, if he feels he will never want to stop performing). I'm talking his understanding of hypnosis, religion, con artistry, and how these things work with some conjuring tricks (magic tricks) he's done. He's combined so many different things in such strange ways that while other humans may have an understanding of an individual principle, I feel he may be one of the only ones that understands the full or at least a larger potential of said principles.
You can only achieve what your mind can conceive.
I've seen the special before, and I know what happens. Before, it didn't work, but this time I went in with an open mind and wanted it to work, and it did. I couldn't move my hands from my lap or my feet from the floor.
I knew she was going to pick the Giraffe when he pointed out the doll houses, infront of one of them was a giraffe and I thought "That's weird what kind of doll set has a giraffe" and then I started seeing giraffe print on the walls and stuff.
Guns man, Hi terry here, remember me?? I was the guy you made love to in London. Hows the herpes treating you? much love Dennis xx
Andy aka Rudolf Hessiansack ?
I remember watching this on TV. At that time it didn't really work but it DID this time on the internet🤣! Is it because the computer screen resolution has improved a lot since? Maybe the TV screen was too small and I was sitting too far back then?
I recently went to see Derren's latest SHOW and it was amazing!!!
It may have worked because you saw it before and repetition is a basic form of hypnosis.
It just made me smile and giggle, it was so weird
Fantastic
38:32 He said that there'd be no flashing subliminals, but there have been at least two so far.
Also it's a shame he didn't post it at 1080p
If Derren Brown ever asks you if it was really a free choice, the answer is always no
NEVER PLAY POKER WITH THIS MAN
The film starts now.....
UA-cam goes ahead to play ads
Well done. Now i need to download something from the app store
Wait till 2021, that is how it is REALLY done.
+Derren Brown This may sound blatant at first but I think that the controlling part was that you made us watch the video regardless of outcome!
10 months later and I'm still stuck here....
It wasn't the song that influenced Joe, it was the giraffe movie, it subliminally impacted him just because of his name.
I've been stuck in my chair since last Christmas :| Number one, I do wish Derren had mentioned the studio is no longer taking phonecalls & number 2 (no pun) that I may have needed a colostomy bag.
I was sitting on the bus as I watched this, and I almost missed my stop! The driver was very understanding tho, and held the bus for a few minutes to get myself un-stuck.
Every time he flashed the picture of the can strapped to the chair it scared the shit out of me
It worked for me on my iPhone 5s. It felt like the muscles I needed to push myself up off the seat weren't responding to my commands. Mostly in my thighs, and when I tried to lift my feet it couldn't lift them very high or very easily. Alone at home on my love seat.
Yeah my feet felt like they were magnetised to the ground, and I couldn't push myself up from my seat.
I feel like it wasn't about the film, but rather what he was saying. Because Derren has achieved this in some other shows of his without a video. And by saying it won't work if you're watching on the Internet, that's what actually makes it not work. Also, some people in the studio weren't able move their hands/arms either. But it was assumed people at home would, because otherwise they couldn't make the call. So they didn't apply the suggestion to their hands, whereas some people in the studio did, as they didn't have plans to use them. Also, I feel like the very specific instructions on how to sit in the chair were not really there because the film is designed for that position or something, my guess is it's because some people are more susceptible to the suggestion (which is not designed for any precise position) and when it doesn't work on someone, they can think "oh, I probably did something wrong". And it won't affect you if you don't sit in that position on purpose simply because you don't expect it to affect you then. An other thing is, what if there's a sudden power outage that turns of the TV before he unsticks you? :D Well, my guess is that that situation would overpower the suggestion, because when you know eventually he's going to unstick you, you give in more and subconsciously there's not really any need to get up. When there is need, though, as otherwise it would seem you'd be stuck forever, you let go of the suggestion.
That's just my guess, anyway. I still don't know how he does the speaking suggestion anyway, of course. :)
Also, I am really confused about the UV thing. How can that affect you if you can't physically perceive it? That way it's not perception without awareness, is it? I'd say it's done differently.
(All of this is not an attempt to undermine Derren Brown's work at all, don't take me wrong, just trying to make sense of it ;). )
The UV light showing the invisible ink is just for entertainment.
Also claimed it to be down to low resolution from a pc screen and that's why it won't work online, but the resolution on a pc screen is actually higher due to the manufacturer acknowledging that the viewing distance is shorter and therefore needs to be higher. In fact you will find your iphone or smart phone has an even higher resolution than your pc screen as the viewing distance is designed for an even shorter distance.
Derren Brown cripples a nation
I am hypnotized right now. It works perfectly, i can not moveat all :D
Who’s watching it while locked in home cuz of coronavirus
Can I be laying down caussee I'm really comfortable.
The real reason we clapped for the NHS in Lockdown I, Covid Year 2020.
This shows some good, practical evidence, that free will is an illusion.
You basted! I love you dearly 🙏
I remember watching this on TV when it was originally broadcast and I was sort of stuck to the seat, I did manage to stand, but it was very heavy and difficult to do so.
"You'll win on 19" Oh Derren you sly devil.
He doesn't say that at all. He says you need to eliminate 19 people.
He says "19" about five times. Although "your odds are 19 to 1" surely sound like "19 to win".
@@RogerCRocha He said Two to or too far too many times. He was stacking it in her favour by telling her number two was a win. Pity she read the signs for 19 instead.
Welcome to MS peeps! That’s my normal day 🤷🏻♀️
Legends say they are still stuck
