Derren Brown Demonstrates His Skills Live

It got better.

[davidvaughn]

Absolutely the most keen and acute observer of human nature, not to mention his ability to put on a great show. One of my favorite people. Just Brilliant!

12:20 who thought he going to write "prick"?

[MK-soiz]

04:50: "we unconsciously choose daily mail"... 11:00: "and if you choose page 14- hundred pounds a week to learn rubbish". this was subliminal messaging for the finale of this show in which a random word was selected from page 14 of a newspaper. at the end he shows all of the moments of subliminal messaging in order to influence that happening. crazy crazy show, there's nothing like this man

[nicksully]

This show was so brilliant, especially the newspaper thing at the end and how he put all that together. He's a genius

[MexieMex]

The coloured ball part was a really great presentation of such a simple effect.

[wayneplatts]

I don't care how he does it, his showmanship is just another level .

[deejaydoubleyoo]

I know it's all just editing but at 11:07 Charlotte is in the audience and on stage! Derren really is amazing :)

[madelinerose-mq]

I think the first part involves some actual cleverness. By acting as if he already knows the answer, for example the woman with the 'guilty walk', the way he talks as if he's already completely certain it makes the person smile and laugh and give away their answer. If they don't immediately do that he knows they actually have the black ball and then since he hasn't actually stated which colour they are holding he flips his argument and makes up some other psychology magic sounding thing that says they actually might be honest

I remember seeing the full show not so long ago somewhere on youtube and it's pretty cool, I know a lot of it is just magic and showmanship but I still find it amusing I wish I could see him live

[LifeOfRy]

11:00 notice Derren planting the subconscious suggestion! “Choose page 14”

[bigcretin]

Philippa's nodding when Derren suggested they could start thinking of a fake name was a big tell.

[LunyMilky]

The right "Price"! x'D

[BobFrichtel]

I love the presentation. AND you snuck in at least two suggestive primers in here. Well done. :D

[jesusginard]

I'm at 2:50. I think one of the first 2 on the left has the ball.

[psf_nhl]

I’ve been watching this and does crazy stuff

[JackOusley]

So, he's holding the black ball and only releases it into the bag once all but one person have picked a ball, or he releases it so he knows it's one of those last two, right?

[metadaat]

Wow, nice. I screenshotted the blushing guy just after he stepped forward and after Derren talked at him. It's subtle but you can clearly see the difference. I imagine he's got a lot of different tricks to pull out a liar, and on a split second decided this guy is a blusher and worked that angle. I mean, it could also be complete trickery (I feel he often drops fake clues to how he supposedly does things), but damn it Derren is a talented dude.

[krisnick]

Her first crush wasn't someone who had a surname of Price, she said a name that he'd suggested in some hidden way to her during the routine.

[NullHypatheist]

The bag has a layer of fabric sewn in ("gate"), essentially creating two pouches. One pouch as the 4 white balls, the other pouch has the 1 black ball. When Derren holds the bag out to the first four people, he's holding the gate closed, so they have to choose one of the 4 white balls. Then when he releases the bag to be given to the fifth person, the gate opens automatically, she reaches in and finds the 1 black ball. Knowing this trick, you can anticipate that the last person to draw will get the black ball, as is what happened.

What I don't get is...



How someone can dislike from the first few seconds of the video being uploaded. :/
