Anyone else watching this? Derren is using subliminal messages over a month to get a guy scared of flights to go on one. Just staged a fake petrol station robbery with him in to scare him hehe

This is the Derren Brown that faked getting shot and catching a bullet?
The same one that faked guessing the lottery numbers?

Sorry....were you hoping it was the one who really can catch bullets and predict the lottery?

It would have been nice if it was someone who did have some interesting skill/power/mind control, but in fact it turns out he's just full of BS.

When you know he's full of BS, then you can be pretty sure this whole mind control to get someone on a plane isn't going to be much more than dull documentary about an actor that pretends to be scared before he goes on a plane.

Kinky bh!


I'm smelling a rat here. If he's looking to join the police force, why is stealing the contents of that van? and entering that faux coppers house?

You never see Derrens nervous twitch on the TV shows - a bit strange to see it so obvious on his live stage shows.

If it was all real it was amazing. However, I'm very doubtful it was.

Why so cynical?

He doesn't claim to be a magaician or any rubbish like that - just very very good at reading people and suggestion. I've been to one of his live shows and it's genuinely amazing. Either he does what he does or the majority of the theatre are plants and actors.

It is a trick. There may be some plants but it very traditional magic dressed up as psychology.

Clever though.

No, it's not magic. It's pure psychology.

It's not even that, it's pure fraud, passed off a psychology as no one believes magic.

An old housemate of mine was a feature participant in much the same way as this; some time ago. I was roped into the setup by the Derren Brown team and had to let the TV crew into the house for secret filming; tip them off where my housemate was going to be and at what times... get my housemate to be places at certain times - all of this was quite thankless and I wondered what I'd gotten myself into as they'd ring me at work for info and to set things up... anyway, my housemate found it to be a revelation in as much as, he genuinely changed his outlook on life and became a different person. I thought it was all frickin crazy and that you'd have to be weak minded to go along with half the setup stuff in the first place. Derren is no magician but from my own expereince, he seems to be able to tap into someone's inner self; however cheesy that sounds!!!

I can post a link to the program if I can find it.
