Turning A Man Into A Puppet - Derren Brown

In one of the more sinister turns of Trick or Treat, Derren hypnotises a reserved IT worker into thinking he is a puppet.

This is on a level of complete psychological terror. I'd be scared to be locked in a cell with this Derren with him looking directly towards me like "It's time to pull your strings again Pinocchio".

The cards at the end should just have said: "Andy is still standing on stage 'till this day..."

When he said come closer, I was like the puppet is totally gonna go all Chucky on him.

"hey, who turned out the lights"
"hey, who turned out the lights"
"hey, who turned out the lights"
"hey, who turned out the lights"

I've just noticed something really cool in the video. Go to 1:07. When Derren shows the card that says "trick", pause it. Turn your screen upside down and read it again. It says "treat". Similarly, the "treat" card, when viewed upside down, says "trick". Both cards are identical! Derren chooses to orientate the card such that it says "trick" when he reveals it, but if he'd chosen to he could have flipped the card upside down to give "treat". The choosing process was not necessary, Derren was going to give him "trick" from the start. How the fuck I noticed that I don't know. Cheeky stuff from Derren.

My biggest fear is puppetry and dolls. I had A LOT OF balls to watch this. LOL

[capndinkles]

Am I the only one who realizes it doesn't matter what card you choose? You turn "Treat" upside-down and get trick, and vise versa. So everyone gets f*cked over by Derren...

And now he's forever scarred for life...

Is no one gonna talk about how he threw a hamster out a window??

[iscaredu]

[sportje]

[NattyTrilobite]

I should probably stop watching because i am going to bed soon XD

[egretzhars]

He threw a hamster out of the window, ladies and gentlemen!!

**Big round of applauses**

xD

[ursie]

Yes, I know both cards spell both words. But one of them convincingly says "Trick" and the other "TRra⊥". stoopid cards.

[CoolAsFreya]

Oh cmon even I could see that the cards both say trick and treat depending on what direction they're in!

[sirrexington]

I love how Derren uses mind perception to make Andy think he's hearing his guess.

[rwed]

at 2:16 "just there at the bottom. That'd be Great." With Derren, He probably did slip in this line from Office Space on purpose ... bc Andy is IT

"You threw your hamster out of the window on a parachute..."
