Derren is a legend peeps...have you seen where he goes dog racing, and cashes in on losing tickets?

Mentalll

Thing is, with that game...the guy, will have believed, he was playing very realistic game...since, when he woke up, he was back in the pub, with his mates.

I think thats the idea...didnt see the show tho...

would have been interesting if he was a necrophilliac and started to play with the bride.

Or then again if he was a complete nutter and started twatting the zombies with the butt of the gun.

See Derren brown is one of the reasons why i refuse to go to the big smoke, I'd end up doing jankers if he ever ran into me:D :D

Did you see resident evil???? I'm, never going into an abandoned military complex after a viral outbreak ever again.

Oh, hang on, that's just a film and not real........... Whereas Derren brown can really control peoples minds.

Because it's legal to use a strobe effect to intentionaly put a complete stranger who may or may not be prone to seizure in a "catatonic" state.

Real my backside.

If I was capable of mind control, I don't think I'd be appearing in late night crap on channel 4.

Think about it........ a random member of the public subjected to that? No prior consent? Bollocks.


I've watched the show, he's very clever, really convincing and has some amazing skills........... but not this one. A strobe light induced trance on someone you have no medical history on? And note how he arrives just as he falls over......great, but the massive steadicam is already in place. Odd that........ the face on camera shot is hidden in the cabinet. The long shot is from the cameraman standing next to it......... odd they didn't notice him really.

Actually...the guy doesnt fall over...he simply falls asleep and Derren and co, drag him off.

Also, anyone prone to seizures/epilepsy, will not play arcade games, certainly not ones they know nothing about, for the very "flashy" reason.

However, you could be right...who knows.
I saw the Russian Roulette thing, that was very good, he also does casual street stuff as well...as you said, have to give the man credit for his abilities...I personally, would be more inclined to believe his shows, than disbelieve.

Yes, it is Freaky!

Record some, then watch them when you can pause....... you spot some nice little "continuity" Foul ups........

Prone to seizure? How many people did you ever see walk out of a cinema etc... when they read that at the start? One thing ignoring it for yourself....... but no way anyone would risk doing it to a member of the public. The fall....... how does he know he's not going to just collapse? And why doesn't anyone spot that camera man?

Nah, he is skilled, at misdirection and manipulation, but if you can put someone under with a few well timed flashes, why are are the police still using tasers and soldiers still firing live rounds :)

Watch for people in the background vanishing and drink glasses emptying/refilling ..... shows you where the scenes have been cut and edited.

Jurassic Park was pretty convincing....... entertaining, but no-one thinks its real do they?

No different to the WWF........ watch it if you must, but it aint real.

Also......... a couple of camera shots in a "point of view" style... some from the zombies, some from the bloke..... which means they come from a cameraman who as in the room with them.... or the bloke had a camera himself.

And a couple of muzzle flashes from the gun too......... which is obviously a paintball marker and firing CO2..... until those flashes in the middle (added post production......so how much of it is real?)

Anyone watch "fear factor?"................ great example of utter crap...... pitched as "real"..... but none of it is...... worth watching just to pull it to bits :)

He's clever, that's all. But I could go out and film that now, all you'd have is my word that I'd done it for real........ seriously, convince 3 people to play along and you are sorted..... whole nation convinced.
Wanna buy some snake oil?

Maybe coz male snakes have two penises, or hook type things anyway...

Yeah, did wonder about the camera views...things about the flashes, is, it can be done, but, the person has to be unaware of them, as such, subliminal...like they banned with TV advertising...flash up BUY THIS! for one frame, you wont notice it, but when your out shopping...chances are, you will buy it!
