Love Derren's response to the aggressive, "What are you looking at?" and will keep it in mind for the future. My mother had a teenage guy say that aggressively to her at a train station. Her response was simply, "You tell me." He had nothing further to say. Another time when she was with her brother and their car had broken down, a bikie stopped and offered help. When he asked my mother if she felt afraid of him she asked, "Should I be?"

Darren is such a forgiving and understanding person. Hes beautiful

BEAAST! Thanks Jordan and Jen and Jason

Fantastic interview, thank you! Derren is an amazing guy, could listen all day!

This deserves 10 million views.

Amazing interview!! Derren Brown is a brilliant man and for me the best at his craft mentalism, he is on a different level. As for his book HAPPY is very well written and everyone should read it, you'll see life in a different manner. Congrats on the interview, very good job. Best of regards

Absolutely amazing interview here with DB! The best that's out there. You need to be commended for this, well done 👍

Stumbled upon this. Best part of my week easily

Wow, this is the first time I'm "seeing" this. I've only listened to it in the podcast over and over.

As well as being a really genuine, nice guy, Derren is an amazing performer. You will be blown away with any of his live shows. I have not been programmed. I have not been programmed. I have not been programmed. WTF!

I actually loved the questions and answers at the end. The two of you really seemed to get along and with that you could (and did) ask some other type of questions. Most of the interviews result in the same answers from Derren Brown, because he prepared well and is mostly asked about the same things. So well done Jordan for getting to the more personal stuff too.

Really nice long-form interview. Derren was very generous with his time! So glad to see him breaking into the US market, although I wish I was back in NY to see him live. My sister is there but has no interest as far as I know. I still want to see the quintessential Derren Brown interview that answers ALL my questions but I guess I will have to do it myself some day...

Could listen to Derren for hours. Really great interview... 👍

An absolutely brilliant interview that flowed so perfectly & I could’ve listened to a further 24 hours!

Jordan is awesome and love his shows / podcasts

Thank you for posting

Have loved Derren's work for a long time, from his earlier TV craft through to his shows and his art too. His skills are fascinating. While my awareness is extremely low in everything he does, it is always good to spot in his episodes how the people are primed and get a tiny insight into how they are manipulated.

Such a great episode. Listened to the podcast but wanted the video also.

I wonder how many other fellow Scots there might be here? As someone who is not only a Scot, but also a whisky enthusiast, I can't help noticing an absolutely brilliant selection of bottles from some of the very best Scottish distilleries; and not always the most obvious ones. A man of taste methinks!

Whyyyy??? This needs more views!!! Thank youuuu🤤

Liked, and subbed! Derren Brown is one of my latest idols in recent years! :3

1000x better than the Joe Rogan interview. 1000x less views. fuckin internet

dont sleepwalk through life

Also based almost purely on my own experience, I dont think the Victorians were as way off as we nowadays assume with the "4 humors": when I first heard of it I felt the same, but after battling issues with sinus draining and indigestion (characterised by a LOT of phlegm - and for which I have only really been able to try to understand myself, as all modern medicine does is prescribe you pills to attempt to control it - with absolutely no explanation), it made me rethink the idea a little as I came across it again. Derren is insanely clever, but sometimes I think he doesn't quite understand the true nature of his own power. No discredit to him, he is more awake than most people, maybe the point is that none of us have one absolute answer, the truth, whatever that is, can only really be understood by the interaction of ideas rather than to just discredit them because "we know so much more now". Do we? Truly? I dont think we know any more or less really - the modern world is about building structures of society in a very physical form - something that is slowly being shifted, most significantly from the 60s (The Beatles ofc), but I dont think we KNOW any more - the unconscious is universal and not subject to time as we are, after all. We were supposed to build our temples inside ourselves - we even have temples and an altar across our foreheads, at the seat of which is the remnants of the 3rd eye, which connects with an area of the brain (I forget the name), which is essentially how hypnosis is possible. You just have to make somebody 'see' cross-eyed. This is how Koans work, this is how we engage with narrative in book form, or a television programme. It's essentially the same idea of narrative driving our conception of reality, and how to contact the Right side of our brains - confuse the Left (or 'conscious') mind - it's really that simple. Doesn't mean I can do it, or at least not control it consciously. But with great power comes great responsibility.

So lovely - Derren's Broadway show "The Secret" is wonderful also and so intelligent and interesting - we just saw it in NYC :)

Talking about the woman who wanted him to put her in touch with her dead grandma reminds me of all of the people that I meet who are willing to just agree with someone to get that person to do what they want. Now that said there are absolutely people who have cognitive dissonance and hold to realities that oppose each other in their heads at once. But there are also people out there who will just agree with someone verbally even though they don’t agree with them in their beliefs to get that person to do what they want and I think that that is what that girl did with Derren on the night he describes.

Great explanation of free will

Still weird seeing Jordarn irl and not just a voice, great episode as always!

Great interview. Those lights behind Derren are so amazingly distracting though.

Fab interview

Great interview 🙏. Derren seems like a really great guy . I wonder if he’s a INTJ / INFJ or maybe ENFJ on the MBTI

Thank you!

the words are please and thank you

OMG DERRAN BROWN IS A TRUE GENIUS SOMEONE YOUD DEFINATLY HAVE HAS A DINNER GUEST IF YOU COULD HAVE ANYONE DEAD OR ALIVE!

I’d love to see an edited version where Derren isn’t constantly interrupted by the interviewer.

derren mentions that the crowd in the experiment with Fry being shot onstage were not involved and that imply they all act genuinely.. i thought i remember Derren explaining to the crowd before Fry comes on stage that an experiment was taking place and to not react to the shooting ... or did i dream this? lol .. this guy warps my sense of reality sometimes .. haha im going to go look now for the episode to see ..

Derren’s “The Secret of Luck” is his absolutely best. It absolutely changed my life. I hoped you asked him about where/how did he study about psychology and how did he developed his ability to read people.

When I saw the killing of Stephen Fry I was in fact astonished to see the public doing absolutely nothing.

Nice retort to: ''What are you staring at?'' came from a carpenter I used to work with. '' I don't know'' he said, ''but it looks like a pound of tripe.''

"Interviewer", so-called, interviews himself here. Brown gets to watch and listen.

"Surrounded by actors" - that says it al

Amazing as ever to see Derrin great interview, but i can see so much self doubt and a darkness in Derrin considering he is so confident in his art. And its very sad to see because Derrin has great ethics and does use his amazing talent to find the better in us. I sat wondering how i could help Derrin and i really wished that i could.

Derren Brown is amazing, he has a script and he sticks to that script and always finds a way back. You are going to talk about what he wants you to talk about and as long as you are part of the conversation you have very little control of that.

"It's very hard to make a judgement about what you'd do in a situation when you're not in that situation." I beg to differ, Derren. If you tend to speak up against things you aren't happy about normally and are not afraid to stand out from the crowd and come into conflict with authority then it's perfectly reasonable to say you wouldn't do whatever, however, if you're generally compliant, don't question authority and tend to "go along to get along" then to say you wouldn't do whatever is a little hollow. With covid I never wear a mask unless absolutely forced to because I don't believe in them ... or covid for that matter. I write to politicians and others and so on. I would never have been chosen to participate in The Push because there is no way in hell I would've been standing up and sitting down seemingly in response to a bell. What amazed me about The Push was the complacency. Unbelievable. Great interview.

I like Derren a lot, very talented but it's always a bit disappointing these interviews as the same stories phrases and anecdotes get rolled out to each interviewer, once youve heard one which is good you've heard them all literally

I love everything this man has achieved, but ironically 'brown" isn't the most flattering colour in this interview x

you said that you would leave the links to the Derren's book and special and other stuff in description but there is no links :(

The wall outside my house story reminds me of awkwafina blurting out the lyrics of Hotel California in the Shang Chi movie

I like Derren, but the guy in "the sacrifice" was an actor. It likely wasn't immediately obvious to UK viewers who have been led to believe such people exist in the US.

Demon out! Demon out! Ab Fab 😂😂😂

NO DERREN thee don't ---- steal NO THINK.... That's a FACT SHALL ME steal thee own sir ----->N-->am

He had nlp training

I have a feeling if I ever had a chance to meet Derren, he would just read my mind,and answer my questions. So basically he would be the only one talking. xD

I tried to define a couple words this man said is he making up words To sound smart Or am I just dumb as hell

I can't find the links to his videos

Is it just me or is Derren flirting with Jordan a bit :'D

I would ask him if any of the intelligence agancys ever ask him to work for them😁 And if not why the hell not?

No.

How is this not named "Interview with Daren Brown"? Is that not obvious? Or did you have that and receive expect clicks?

12:42 Man in TV show :- "I'm not racist , I just prefer white people" Response:- "Maybe you should google what racism is actually defined as" Wow! Seriously? Nonsense, spoken with such conviction. (You'd make a great lawyer). Couldn't take you seriously after that.

GIMP....

Ummm...Derren's only great skill is convincing the audience that he's using ANY psychological manipulation at all. I thought he'd stopped lying about it. He's always been pretty honest about it in his books. The tricks are TRICKS. No psychology is involved. It's all the usual mentalism stuff. There's no "mental" involved. Literally anyone can do the tricks, given the same access to stooges, spotters, discreet signalling, and gimmicked equipment. Don't get me wrong, Derren is a great performer. And he was a really good card magician before he started pretending to be using a bunch of nonsensical psychological garbage. But when Derren tells you he's using psychology or subliminal suggestion or body language or any of that nonsense, that's like an illusionist who uses camera tricks, and actors for an audience, telling you they really made the statue of liberty disappear. Would you believe someone who told you THAT?

Great interview but terrible clickbait title

Derren Brown is the real Stewie Griffin

"I've been trying for 12 years to get Darren Brown on my show." Jesus, dude. Get a life.

Interviewer is lowkey closed minded

Wrong.

First!
