+Gennaro rossi IM NOT GAY BUT I WOULD SEXUALY PLEASE HIM OUT OF RESPECT FOR HIS INTELIGENECE :)

inteligenece

Magnivore519 im stupid so its ok

+Gennaro rossi Why are you focussed on gay sexuality? Having some issues with your own sexuality? Does it secretly turn you on?Because.. why bother if that's not true.

+Magnivore519 I've got two but what do I get out of it?

to the world!!!!

he's a bit of eye candy as well. The sort I could never be with because he would wind me up to the point of murder

+Stella4eva Well he's gay, so I guess there's more than one reason you could never be with him xD.

Alfie Mills You must be a failure in life.

Really??

can't even remember his name... how you supposed to remember your answers!

what's a fucking U. is that even a possible grade? ABCDEF.....

Alexander Supertramp unmarked because it’s so shit basically

Glen lives happily in his mind palace now.

It's print not handwriting but yes it's very good printing.

Here is a token of my appreciation

They both say trick and treat, turn it upside down and treat becomes trick.

no, no they dont, only in his previous episodes it does

Correct, in this episode they both say treat.. He never showed the unpicked card;)

@Tim He's Derren Brown. There was a Tick and a Treat card. But he's Derren Brown. You cannot pick the card he doesn't want you to. He had him a moment where he'd been shitting himself a few seconds ago, so he was in a highly suggestable mood, letting Derren direct which one he picked easily.

BRO, tell us more!!! do you know ANYTHING about this???? plzzz

+TheMysticCraft86 are you able to expand on your observation of what suggestive techniques are employed and can one do them on themselves?

+Chet Bennetts Doing suggestion on yourself is very difficult. I mean if you prescribe yourself a placebo, you have to be a special sort of person for it to work for you.

+TheMysticCraft86 is it worth 20min can u use some tehniques as uni student please answer , i dont have 20min atm

+Chet Bennetts PhotoReading by Paul Scheele (Learning Strategies Corp) is very similar technique. One of the key points made by Darren’s was that all the information will fade away if it isn’t reviewed, PhotoReading teaches you how to review and activate the information. This is the closes I have come to finding anything near a real world application for this technique.

+TheMysticCraft86 I know what you mean. I feel like I'm the only American that watches Derren Brown.

Lol no way 😂 fair play mate

That's because university isn't just learning facts. It's more about skills really.

magicmansell yup I also noticed that before seeing this comment

+Cloud Strife yeah me too

Yeah I find this too and even just by speaking or typing this up I'm not actually thinking about what I'm saying words are just spilling out of my mouth. Before I wrote this sentence I had no idea what I was going to say yet as I type it, it seems to come straight out.

+Francesca Marshall it's like the thing about us only using 10% of our brain so when we answer a question we're using more of our brain to access prior knowledge. If we couldn't do this then we'd never remember how to speak in the first place

AFMakers 10% that's a myth, we use all of our brain.

+AFMakers yeah we just use 10% at one time

+Josh Zook Considering Derren divulges this information in one of his shows this isn't exactly uncommon knowledge. But also it's only one of the cards that is gimmicked to be able to read trick or treat, and the other one just says trick.

+Josh Zook What are you smoking?

+Josh Zook You're actually wrong this time. It was true they were ambigrams in the first series. This is the second series where he used regular trick or treat cards.

No they aren't.

I'm terribly sorry, gentlemen, but they are not. You can't believe everything you see on TV as the truth. There is manipulation everywhere.

Do you remember which ones?

but this is why i have a problem with Derren if hes letting this go out into public and presenting it as a technique if in fact its really just a trick. i hope he would have another honestly to say so if this is the case. But Derren does seem an honest guy that leads me to lean on the side the technique does in fact work.

Get a life ur not writing an assay kid

I agree and Derren is a mentalist, NOT somebody claiming to stick to some moral code. If you watch any number of his shows it is pretty clear these are more elaborate mind f*cks than what we are being told. Sometimes he explains them and sometimes he doesn't but when he doesn't it is to prove the point that with the proper training in deception techniques you can convince people of anything.

It's from 2008.

Marius Periwinkle Can't remember seeing this episode, but now I'm sad haha

+Torbax Yeah, we could always use some new material. But there is the shows, which are great! And it is a nice touch by Derren to make these older videos available.

I'm from the Netherlands, never seen his shows or tv stuff, just kinda stumbled upon them on youtube and been trying to figure out how to watch more material, but this is nice haha I love that it gets uploaded on youtube ^-^ but yea like with this episode you kinda miss some here and there I guess

+Torbax Then you have some goodies ahead of you. There are several tv series, specials, documentary style features, and stage shows. The latter are really my favorites. I have rewatched them several times. There are even two books where he talks about hypnosis, suggestion, magic etc.

+87in7 shit thats well spotted

+87in7 I sotted that too, but what disturbs me is that I answered 320...

319 and hummingbird just before that?

Holy shit that's awesome

Watched this video about 20 times now and Derren still finds new ways to fuck with me

8:22

very good...

A happy Bambi Yes he is.

4.24: "(The reason why we) shoes (her)...". But there are other references, I'm shure.

The guy's a fan of football, he can use his own knowledge as well

@@jirdcon It's a very fair point. You say 'as well' ... we are agreed, though, that this doesn't really have anything to do with running the fingers up and down the pages of books?

@@finosuilleabhain7781 in this specific instance its probably his own knowledge but that doesn't dis prove anything....

@@jirdcon Nah, I don't believe for a second it's his own knowledge because Derren would hardly be relying on him answering such a tricky question. It's pretty obvious that something else is going on, though I confess to having no clue exactly what.

Imagine this before exams

OH MY GOD. JUST THIS THIS WITH 290 PAGES of my chemistry book. took me 1 hour

+callum collins What a waste of an hour. It will not help you. Now go ask someone to ask you questions that are in the book see if you can do that.

Mod Menu​ didn't fucking work. Wasted my life

Yea of course it didnt, Its fake lol

He does that a lot, on purpose. Same with the roulette episode, just one number off

do you mean apart from the fact the poker lady only came second cause of a lucky 9 on the turn?

yh man idk if its real or fake some of it is just too crazy. but i must say i can relate to this video, sometimes i just randomly know stuff its weird. like i would be doing a quiz or something and i'd get the answer without really thinking about it.

+Matthías Örn Friðriksson No, it is something almost anyone who hasn't already got the Alzheimesr's disease can learn. I could have you learn some 30-50 new words and so much of the basic grammar of a language you have never seen before, that you can form your own phrases - all in about 45 Minutes. It is really easy - it is a matter of working with the basic capabilities of your mind and not against them like it is done 90% of the time.

+Octopussyist explain further perhaps? Whats this tehnique called (so we can google it at least)

Črt Sužnik The umbrella term for such techniques is "mnemo techniqes", and specifically we are here dealing with the socalled "photo reading", a method of speed reading. There are lots of YT videos on these subjects. And about "the writing on the wall" - there is nothing really strange about that and we also do not know what happened during his train journey. All we know, is that the woman in the red coat was close to him all the time. So there has been several occasions to anchor the term "shoes" in his mind, like the woman sitting within his view adjusting her shoes or something like that, mentally connecting that with the red coat, which again makes him look in the direction of the ATM. This obviously works as a "convincer" so that the trainee not just has to believe this will work, rather than he knows it - and thus it becomes imaginable that the photoreading of the books will actually make sense. He was obviously taught other mnemo techniques too - otherwise he would hardly have visualized things like a car and a fax for "Carfax Galleries".

+Octopussyist and photoreading would also work with learning a new language? For instance one could photoread a dictionary and suddenly know most of the words in it?

Črt Sužnik Basically yes, at least what your passive vocabulary is concerned. The problem is, you need to review the material a relatively short time after photoreading it to make it stick for a long time. For learning languages and to boost your vocabulary in a language there are better methods for keeping acquired knowledge active for a long time.

cool, then the exam system is flawed

It’s not really cheating, the knowledge is still inside his head like it normally would be. It just got there faster

Please teach me
