When did this originally air?

@@EMVelez They said it was 2008, I believe.

Not for long. Black Dr Who incoming.

@@Bjarku Yes, thank you. We know.

@@Bjarku Saying this like it's an issue.

Absolutely nothing Derren Brown does involved NLP, which is frankly a pseudo-scientific grift he has specifically dismissed as nonsense in multiple books and interviews. And as a matter of fact, almost none of what he does involves any form of psychological manipulation at all; he's a magician, the vast majority of the things he does involve common magic and stage mentalism techniques, which again he's straight up written about and even released instructional videos regarding. Go and track down a copy of The Devil's Picturebook and you'll understand, he reveals the method to several routines that will begin to open your eyes to the real techniques he's actually using, not the fake ones he pretends to use. Derren Brown's greatest trick of all has been to convince millions of people that reading body language and psychological manipulation are real things, when the reality is that there are thousands and thousands of practicing mentalists who routinely do the exact same things he does (albeit with a much smaller budget and on a much smaller scale.) It's absolutely masterful, he's the greatest showman of our generation by far, and he almost singlehandedly revitalised the art of mentalism.

Derren.

@@coppermine64 I would never get it wrong coopermink

Likely. What Derren was doing was mainly mentalism tricks, and mentalism is just another form of magic. Nothing psychic was actually going on.

First time I’ve ever noticed the wobble. Thank you

wibbly wobbly timey wimey

But wouldn’t he remember what he wrote?

You’re right. When he was writing his words stacked on top of each other and Derren asked him to move down the page. On the sheet they’re reading from the flow of the script isn’t regular, but not stacked. Well spotted and thanks for saving my sanity lol

Nope, because it was "automatic writing", ie.scribbling while thinking of something else see 16:00 And Derren even admits he got the paper beforehand 21:24 "I have looked at the paper this morning".

I dont see a switch at all? You mean when he points to the board? I don't see the switch!

I don't see the switch but this is the best explanation.

Still can't spot it after watching repeatedly with two blind eagle eyes.

I notice Derren didn't have David sign his name on the front of the envelope.Somehow he must have swopped it.

@@LivingLegendMe He also had David write a full sentence before actually doing the automatic writing. This is more of a "cold reading" trick that involves fitting the article to the writing, rather than switching envelopes.

It's one of the more common things people think about when told to picture something random. People most commonly think of houses and stick figure people, which is why Derren eliminated those, and another common one is sailboats. But that doesn't really matter at the end of the day since she could have drawn absolutely anything and the pictures would have matched, because the picture David shows is not the same one he actually drew.

Everyone else here picturing a cat, and i was picturing the Tardis. 😄

How he got him to imagine the time travel was by subtle suggestions prob from the makeup and when he "assaulted him" in that booth all the way to when he underwent the hypnosis. But when he gets him to predict the future its more a test for Derren himself since he is still not 100% convinced himself, that ppl actually gets hypnotized when he preforms it and its limitations. I believe Derren when he says that all this isnt scripted with the ppl and what they say. I also believe the unconscious mind picks up on things in what is now known as the collective subconscious, but i have no idea how one can do it if one can.

I don't see how Derren could plant the precise image of a cat in a random lady. At @10:26 you can see something in the corner that could be a camera above David. So then you would just have to inform actors that they need to draw a cat (and what it should look like). The part of the river bank might actually be closed to the public and all the people that we see might be actors.

It seems he is genuinely what would be referred to as a warlock, or sorcerer.

@@CaPtNBoOBoO the thing in the corner is just an IR movement sensor from an alarm system, the trick is done by that big chunky marker pen. The pen has motion tracking tech (like in a phone) in it and can roughly replicate the motion of the pens movement during the drawing and transmit it to someone else. the woman is a stooge who was shown the drawing the pen tracked which would have been apparent it was a cat regardless of how rough its tracking turned out and she drew a similar image. Pens like these are used a lot in these kind of tricks and over time they have become less chunky so being much less obvious

Hes not a real dr

@@enterpassword3313 Do you really think, that I don't know that ??? That's a phrase like "that's the real deal" or something like that. I meant it in that sense :-)

@@gabrieleheikamp8584 lol its a joke

​@@enterpassword3313 What was the joke?

@@MsAliciaRL dr who?

David Tennant is coming back as Doctor Who (in the main show) and Russel T Davis is the showrunner for it this year. Do some research. You may be astonished to find out what I have just told you.

Those days have happily returned!

She knew he was David Tennant, and he had a cameraman behind him so she knew she was being filmed...it was an opportunity to be on TV, and some people enjoy that. The trick would probably have been subliminal messaging on both of them to get them both to draw a cat. That said, she could have been a plant and they had a camera above David as he drew his cat. Derren didn't need to swap envelopes, we got enough of a view of what he was writing while they were filming and they would have had it in high definition so they could make sense of it straight away and plan to have a story in the Guardian that matched it. It is POSSIBLE that the copy of the Guardian he bought was a plant and had the fake story in it, I'm sure somebody could easily check as they give the exact date of the event

She absolutely was not a plant, don't be ridiculous. Firstly there's no reason to use a plant to pull this effect off, any mentalist could explain to you exactly how it's done. Secondly.c Derren would not risk bringing someone in as a stooge for such an easy trick, it would be career suicide if that person ever breathed a word about it. Assuming a stooge is the laziest, stupidest explanation for effects like this and it's always the one people run to when they don't have the imagination to figure out the actual method.

She knew who Derren was

Tennant was incredibly famous (in britain, at least) at the time. He's a lot more than a 'crazed Scottish man'.

@@jaymerkin, oh, I meant no disrespect at all! I just meant that he was so excited and running around so hectically that he LOOKED crazed. I'm sorry if I came across as disrespectful.

Well she obviously recognised David Tenant, and was delighted to indulge him.

There isn’t any debate about the unconscious mind, it does exist. Doesn’t need proving.

Who thinks there is no subconscious?

It’s possible

Yes 👍

I think it’s illegal to hypnotise people by any public broadcast.
