A simple way for you at home to read someones mind . . with enough preparation!

"I'm not evil; I just stalked this guy all day." -- Derren Brown.`

[avianant]

so if Derren ever reads my mind, I know that he's been following me all day... that's great

[SteveEchelonanon]

So many people in the comments that simply don't understand how this works. I feel for you guys, I really do. He shows you how he forced the song into his head through out the day and you're still calling them actors and stooges. Funny.

You don't need to hack into someone's dream to do inception.
You just need to hire Derren Brown

It's actually a good thing that we can't read each other's minds because we'd probably be appalled and devastated at what we found; mainly at the (moral and intellectual) shallowness of the average person's thoughts and what that means for humanity. But that shallowness is what makes people so easy to influence.

Well, I had the theme from A-team in my head. So I win.

[GospodinStanoje]

I fu**ing love this man's work! Great job Derren, keep it up!

[j.e.]

I love how the sweet and shy Derren totally cons everyone, not in a scary way, just with music :)

[SanDesigns]

Derren proves to me that his kind of magic is real and it astounds me every time.

Advertisers know this. Sometimes it's nice just to go somewhere quiet and not have your head infected by sounds and imagery.

That's the same trick they use in the movie Focus. ....they program the marks mind by telling him what to AMAZING

[scottlund]

What a rush, for both of them right when the smiles starts to break, damn I want that feeling!

[brendanmeehan]

The thumbnail looks like he's desperately trying not to laugh when someone just farted in a business meeting

[jim]

It would be interesting to see how that would work on me, since I don't know that song.

[enzomaidana]

that explains the classic: oh! i was thinking of that song you humming! thing.
somewhere earlier in the day we were together listening to that tune without even realize, and it stuck in our brains.

[Rockysbeats]

strange i had the same band but different song
i had bittersweet symphony in my head

[royhillis]

We did something similar to this to a guy i used to work with. I am a software engineer so we as a group installed a very simple app that looks through a bunch of photos of coca cola cans and logos and flashed them on the screen for 1 or 2 frames of the monitor every so often. The guy we did it with eventually bought one after never having bought one before. He genuinely didn't know why he had the urge.

As odd as it is, it works and it is how marketing is done when done well :-)

[bboyCrazyLegs]

This scared the shit out of my, because I was honestly thinking of The Verve - Bittersweet Symphony.

[Libaiii]

I know you must fail few times but who cares. I can't make it even once anyway... Thank you for sharing a little bit secret with us!

[henriknykvist]

Wouldn't work on me. Haven't heard that song.
