Can Derren Brown Fool a Clinical Psychologist?

Derren takes on a psychologist in a battle of wits. Can he outsmart him?

[tiotharius]

For some reason this video got me thinking of a guy who tricked a psychology board into thinking he was a psychopath, and got admitted to a mental hospital, but after he was admitted he could never get out because when he was being his normal self, the board thought he was trying to manipulate them into thinking he was sane.

I still find this hard to 100% believe until it's done to me.

This guy is so good he even tricked me into believing he was called darren and not derren

[temporarythoughts]

love how derren seems that he is enjoying himself, makes it very enjoyable to watch

[gecsshroomdude]

he is having soooo much fun doing this. just look at his face

[TonecrafteLuthiery]

I get nervous about being hypnotized watching these videos. Like I'm gonna wake up one night in an empty warehouse in Bristol doing the chicken dance or something lol.

Derren is the best there ever was at this. His understanding of the mind, and how he makes simple tricks look like miracles is outstanding.

I would pay to see a show of Derren getting 15 mins on stage with everyone who doubts him in the comment section.

I imagine Derren talked to him or did some things with his environment before this was done to plant some suggestions in his mind. Notice there's an orange lava lamp on the ground and the first word Derren expects him to say is orange.

I know I'm poor because I just think "what a waste of paper"

[bieberloverone]

i love how excited and happy he gets when he gets it right

[zpacer]

I really hope this guy is genuine every time, as its tempting to relieve the pressure of always needed to perform close to perfection to do credit to his reputation he has build up

[megalamb]

How is "School" totally the opposite direction from "tie"?

[GivMeUrGamerTag]

Absolutely love Derren...went to see him love too. Really good performer and seems like a really nice guy

[danielkelly]

Never get tired of this man. . Unreal. . Did anyone see the episode when he went to the dog track, places his bet, lost, went to the hatch and got paid off his losing docket? I thought to myself 'hold on a minute here' .. I'm doing something wrong ha ha ha ha ha

[mihailtudor]

"1080p" - I suppose you have to suggest it to yourself hard enough

[FrozenPeanuts]

Missing your TV shows Derren, hope you can come up with one soonn

[luckyshamrock]

Impressive abilities, i was skeptical of this but in hindsight and rewatching his videos i am convinced, Derren is great at what he does aside from his charisma and showmanship his humility is very evident and he really cares about his participants and audience's.

3:53 "feel free to try and CATS MEOW" (Instead of "catch me out", planting the cat into his subconscious through NLP technique). Anyone else catch it? You can also see when derren turns around and grabs the paper, right after that, a mug on the table of a cats face with its tail up in the air as the handle. Derren manipulated him into thinking of something in the room (left brain constructed vs right brain remembered) and then subconsciously pushed him to look and think of a the cat mug by further planting the "cats meow" subtle cue that threw off his subconscious but not so much where his consciousness would detect it.

5:00 he has something written on his hand
