[@bryceanwhimsey]

Quite frankly, I don't care how much of his work is real, manipulative, psychologically predictive, or flat trickery. His persona and presentation are flawless, the illusion is complete, and the lines between the tricks and the truth are magnificently blurry. Truly a genius showman who deserves every ounce of his success and applause.

[@romanmarshall602]

bryceanwhimsey It’s all standard magicians tricks but the way he dresses it up as ‘psychological trickery’ and ‘subliminal cryptic manipulations’ is really unique and fantastic, no one else has done that. But in the end it’s the same old card/prop tricks that have been done for decades. Wonderful stuff

[@spoonchad5686]

Roman Marshall No because he’s not just a magician, he does know physchology as well

[@danieloneill9560]

I totally agree.

[@feelthejoy]

Yes that is what makes him a great performer. Walking on glass, psychic surgery, math tricks, etc etc, have been done by tons of religious charlatans. But he synthesizes it all into a captivating show.

[@thegreatgamelord8640]

@@romanmarshall602 I mean, isn't that what magicians' tricks are? It's not real magic, after all.

[@rsfreshie8936]

His showmanship is what sells the entire thing. He's a fucking genius on the stage simply because he acts and sells his tricks so well.

[@goncalosousa5335]

52:10 "It's really bad news" probably the best joke of the show, maybe because it was genuine and improvised. Marvellous

and then pulls out The Sun. Double whammy.

[@HandsomeLongshanks]

And I find myself back here, watching this performance for the 50th time because I just love every moment of this. It's, as the British would say, bloody brilliant.

[@Shsjier]

Lol not all british people talk like Stephen Fry but I get the point.

[@LurkMoar101]

He's amazing. I caught those little mis-speaks when they happened and thought that sounds like jibberish, but now it all makes so much sense. The man is a machine.

[@somethingbright4268]

What a bloody fantastic entertainer he truly is. Love this one out of all them.

[@jtmichaelson]

I caught NONE of the subliminal messages he'd said during the show on the first go. As he was admitting them, I played back the specific parts; "tear around influential", "daily mail", "hammer mail in your head" and lo and behold, they were there the whole time. Amazing how that works.

[@xtraspecialj]

Lol, yeah, that's not how that works. It has literally nothing to do with that. It's just a trick. A good trick, but a trick nonetheless.

[@vetsforthe99-61]

This man is one of the best and most educational entertainers that have ever existed. I truly appreciate his presentation and the respect he pays his audience. I cannot think of anyone better.

[@fahadjoudeh6603]

31:05 that smirk on his face when he says influential

[@JO3YSworld]

This man is incredible because everything he does is so IMMERSIVE, even as a viewer at home you feel involved. Real escapism, totally captivating and the way he commands the stage is outstanding - been a fan since I was a child and I don’t think it would ever happen but if I ad the chance I’d jump at it to see him live. I hope he keeps doing what he’s doing because he is one of - if not, the best at what he does.

[@---nobody---]

This is just absolutely amazing. He’s an amazing showman and he’s incredibly talented at what he does. I love all of his stuff.

[@samrofik1764]

29:04 it seemed normal because mail sounded like nail and I though number 14 nail was a nail size 😂

[@albertonex19]

At 4:50 he says " you can change your mind or DON'T, stick with It " pretty incredible

[@davidwhitfield7864]

I love how he just says things which don't make any sense to set him up for the finale and you don't even notice. "When you ... tear around ... influential ... and you cut yourself..."

[@passingoutnails]

The real trip is that none of that subliminal bullshit has anything to do with how his tricks are done. If so, you also would know all the answers that the participants would give...

[@rageagainstmyhairline5574]

The numbers 13 and 24 came into my head at the correct points about 2 seconds before the girl said them during the padlock part. It kinda felt a bit weird, but I guess I'm one of 250,000 people watching this so by the law of averages there should be a few people who though the right numbers. If it was genuinely subliminal suggestion, there should be thousands who did.

[@MariaMaltseva]

@@passingoutnails Yes! I can't believe anyone believes this stuff. These are magic tricks, plain and simple and lovely,

[@gallus1]

That everything he does is without any claim to the supernatural makes his talent all the more magical. Proof positive we are easily guided... and fooled.

[@matwatson7947]

I know this a year late but it's actually more than that. Not only does he not claim to be Supernatural he tells you exactly how it's done ... And you fall for it again...and again...and again...

[@SD_702]

I wish I could watch this for the first time again.

[@arcade_matt]

What's even MORE fascinating is that the very end where he "reveals" how that word was chosen, was probably just a gimmick to make everyone think "oh that's how he did it" when in fact there was probably something even more unknown at play... knowing Derren, lol

[@sehbanaliakbar9882]

Exactly! Only Derren's true fans would know this

[@STR4nG3boy]

It really was this and maybe some other things that helped but mainly suggestions

[@buddyrichable1]

There was a performer named Banachek on Rogan’s podcast who did a similar act and used the same suggestive techniques, including gestures. He explained exactly how he got people to choose geometric shapes. Derren was also on Rogan’s podcast.

[@mdderrek9280]

well that is not fascinating.. it is misleading. He tells you that his acts are tricks, which is fine,.. but he cannot take the educator part and lie.. Remember when he predicted the lottery.. the act is very artistic.. Then, at the "NON MAGIC PART/Revealing part" of the TV special he claims that he will tell how he did it. What did he say?? see for yourself.. I'm a fan of him but he is not trustworthy.. The problem is he takes the part of educator and debunker and he cannot lie when he talks in that person.. he can lie in the magic acts as he wants.. but not when informing or educating.

[@mdderrek9280]

@bad1dobby Hey bad1dobby, it is because he sometimes tackles very sensitive issues of fraud, physic taking advantage of people and ruin their life savings, the man with the x ray vision and so on... So, for the audience he is now " guiding you to the truth" , he cannot lie in this part.. I mean with your logic, he could say " there is no stooges" and he is lying about it !!!! when he talks to audience as NOT a part of an act it is misleading to lie.. Look at that trick we are talking about , he convinces the audience that the trick has ended, and explains that it is in their heads because of newspapers and subliminal messages.... Don't you think that have bad consequences?!!! even more for sensitive people or OCDs or people don't wanna read about medical advice not to fall in subliminal messaging,, to be uncertain about every thing( in a bad way, not in a scientific way) ??

[@sound9366]

No words “mans a genius”. I had to flick back through the show after that ending...even I was stunned that I didn’t pick up on any messages. Simply amazing !!!

[@Jeff-BrokenJaw]

Here's how the glass walking trick is done: First, you need to know you can't stop oxygen to your brain and expect to be lucid and capable of walking around. So that tells you right off that isn't the factor in being able to walk on broken glass. He stopped his pulse by placing an object under his armpit (slight of hand or placed prior) and pressing his arm against his body, cutting off the detection in his wrist. That's why you see him remove her hand from his wrist at 38:46 before he extends his arm and stands up. As for the glass walking, it's the opposite of fire walking. In fire walking you do it fast enough that the hot embers don't have time to burn your feet. In glass walking, if you walk slow enough on a large bed upward pointed edges will have a tendency to slide away because they have a rounded underside. If they don't slide, you can still feel the sharp edges and adjust your weight accordingly.

[@jabagas620]

how'd he lay down on it?

[@Jeff-BrokenJaw]

He's wearing clothes to protect him, could even have something under for protection, and he saw where he was putting his face. There's nothing supernatural happening here.

[@hihello1297]

This makes sense. Awesome pick up

[@matteframe]

hey, this is youtube... do it yourself and show us how easy it is... and where does he ever *ever* claim any of this is supernatural. On the contrary he says it's misdirection, showmanship, ect. He's just very good at it. Well, not according to you, but to everyone else.

[@Oakleaf700]

...any stained glass worker knows you can put your hands into glass 'cullet' [scrap] pieces, it is upward jagged pieces you need to avoid. And the tiny fleam-like bits [which when glass is in a bowl/tray fall to the bottom anyway...Derren is about Showmanship and entertainment...he is very good at what he does too.

[@doctorshell7118]

Fucking brilliant misdirection! But I especially enjoyed this interchange: “Hit me.” “No.” “That was a bloody punch!”

[@Anthadlas]

There is even more influencing that he doesn't show on the footage, When he asks her how many pieces of paper she would like to remove from the top of the pile she says 7. Go back to 59:14 and just before he asks her he clicks his jaw 7 times in a way that can easily be counted. Also just after he asks her to give him just half of the pile he uses the specific command "When I click my fingers give me the half that feels RIGHT to you"

[@speedrob]

That "twitch" he has is a natural thing he does, even not when in the context of a show.

[@clairvoyantmole8668]

@@HumanTypewriter Neurolinguistic Programming is Pseudoscience, since no one could ever scientifically prove that it actually works. You can't get a doctors-degree in it. NLP doesn't have any academic relevance. Igor Svacic may be brusque and brazen, but I guess he's right: Derren Brown can't influence anyone to tear a newspaper-page unconsciously around a certain word just by saying it once or twice. Do you really think that woman read through the whole page to find that word before tearing it apart? Or do you think her subconsciousness would spot that word at once without her eyes even looking at it? Come'on. This is silly.

[@darrinmcgann]

I think knowing how he did it freaks me out more than not knowing!

[@97channel]

Spoiler: Please only read this after you've watched the entire show. It will ruin the fun for you, otherwise. I went to see this show live, at a different venue, and the way you process those subliminal messages throughout the show, to the newspaper and page number, feels really strange. Hearing them now, knowing that they exist, they seem really blatant and clear. Having first seen the show live, I obviously don't know if they affect a viewer in the same way if you first see the show as a recording. But when you're actually in the audience, you drift right past them. I can recall particularly frowning at the one he slips in after the nail-in-the nose routine. I registered something unusual, but only in a semi-conscious way, then immediately forgot about the whole moment. It's hard to describe. And you do indeed remember every single one, as clear as a bell, once you are reminded in the playback of them. It's really fascinating to have your mind played with in such a way, you'd think you wouldn't be susceptible to it but you learn how easy it is to miss something which seems so obvious after the event. I can only make a guess that it works by somehow catching the audience where they are momentarily occupied by a subtle misdirection of their natural thought process, and their expectation of what should be said in a sentence of such structure fools them into making a wrong assumption over what they actually heard. Really enjoyable night, absolutely engaging and a fantastic piece of theatre.

I'd love to see a 30-45min straight sleight of hand performance by Derren. I know he's an accomplished magician, but he found mentalism to be his calling. I think a special with him doing just magic/sleight of hand would be well, special.

[@sfdntk]

Find a copy of The Devil's Picturebook, it's an educational magic video Derren put out before he got super famous. A lot of what he does even now is slight of hand (the psychology explanations he gives are a complete fabrication designed to lead you astray, none of his tricks rely on NLP or reading body language or any of that nonsense), and in the video he performs and then explains a number of slight of hand tricks, many of which later ended up being performed in his various TV shows or stage shows.

[@Shsjier]

@@sfdntk so getting the word influential right was just sleight of hand?

[@sfdntk]

@@Shsjier Yes. You don't have to take my word for it though, the famous mentalist David Berglas (Derren's mentor) published the method for this trick all the way back in the 1980s, it was one of his signature pieces and he featured it in his TV series The Mind of Davis Berglas, although his performance was far less impactful than Derren's. I don't think anyone should feel disappointed by knowing this though, almost all mentalism effects are achieved through incredibly simple and boring means, but the method isn't what makes them so spectacular and fun to watch.

[@Shsjier]

@@sfdntk what about the banner that came down from the ceiling? They made that quickly and set it up in time?

[@sfdntk]

@@Shsjier .....the fact that the banner is pre-made is yet more proof that the word "influential" was not chosen by random, but swapped in using sleight of hand. You seem very confused.

[@Alex_95419]

23:07 Didn't he ask to write down the surnames nice and clear, in broad capital letters at 13:30? There are obviously cameras overhead,the rest is showmanship. At 54:30 he's likely tapping the numbers on her hand, while he's holding it. At 55:34 he puts 3 fingers on her shoulder, after placing 5, and says that she wants to change 1 digit. She changes it from 5 to 3. Not trying to be a dick, just trying to figure out how he did some things.

[@fishbonesinc]

Nothing wrong with that.

[@calecbrayers3739]

He does say multiple times that a major part of his thing is showmanship.

[@Tophu48548]

I'm sure he'd appreciate the comment

[@passingoutnails]

To me it's still unclear exactly to what extent his non-verbal "mirroring" can actually affect the outcome of his tricks or his participant's choices but definitely not enough to produce all of the spectacle he does. Through non-verbals, he can effectively guess about lying and read cues about words or numbers he asks them to think of from their bodies to allow for better guesses but he only sprinkles that in and definitely does most tricks through conventional magical means and covers his tracks under the guise of "subliminal programming" or "influence".

[@ivanhenderson31]

You're not a dick for understanding simple tricks! I just noticed that, but what about the 2nd number 24? I didn't se him do anything odd there. Anyways, he is a bright man and his knowledge of how humans work and how to easily trick us is amazing. Great comment!

[@MJB20233]

Derren provides early guidance on lateral flow tests. He is a psychic after all... 😂

[@DanTheStripe]

The "influential" trick is one of the greatest mentalism tricks of all time and in my opinion Derren's best. So many mentalism effects rely on revealing the prediction after it's already happened. To reveal it over the course of the show is simply phenomenal.

[@Ithrazel]

Except it's not a major mentalism trick at all - he adds 10 pieces of paper just as the girl hands the pieces of newspaper to him, likely on all of his selected pieces he will have that word there. The main mentalism part here is to get the girl to pick "influencial" out of the words she sees on the piece of paper (he says pick a long interesting word, probably does quite a few of his mind magic there). Anything that happened before with the tearing of the newspaper, the choosing of the page etc. does not matter at all.

Don’t think it has to be all 10 bits of paper. She say 7, he gets her to pick the eighth. She’s unlikely to choose 1 or 2, or 10 or 9, so it only needs to be at most pieces 3 5 and 7. Also in the close up I couldn’t see any of the other words he said were there. Maybe they were on the back, which she couldn’t see to pick from, or partly torn? (Not from a magician, just a guy who was the one who tore up the Mail and handed it to him when he played Stoke.) one thing I distinctly do remember is before he threw the newspaper to me. I am a tall chap, and was near the front wearing a rather pink shirt. Before he threw it he looked at me and said “if I throw it will you catch it?”. When whoever was onstage chosing which newspaper to pick, the house light really shone in her eyes, and I’m guessing all she could see was me. All that said, I’m not really a fan of magic shows (which I know this was), but the presentation was.., well.., magical.

You must do a PCR test without any issues Derren :-) No streaming eyes, etc

[@E-name]

After that trick where he cut off some of his oxygen he got fucking HYPE

[@fishbonesinc]

This is a mad lad.

[@jacobwood3494]

Anyone notice he didn't ask John his proffesion and John didn't question him on it. Thats how Derren knew he was preparing to lie. Pretty cool

[@ravenravella1000]

Amazing, and so entertaining!

[@thedon3346]

wow hes too good..He knew we would think it was the guy..Amazing

[@georgesmith4225]

That glass bit was genuinely unwatchable in the best way possible

[@mikebizzleuk]

I wonder if derren has thought about doing a Vegas run? he would tear that shit up selling out every night. I saw Penn and teller there last week and it was a lacklustre performance and that's being kind. derren would take the US by storm id imagine

[@413jmee]

oh fuck i live in vegas and i know for a fact i'd go just to experience this shit first hand

[@drdassler]

mikebizzleuk I saw a show in Vegas & the guy was doing loads of Derren's old material. He even did the lottery number predication.

[@tjelehtinen]

The only trick I know how to do is stopping the pulse from the arm. It also was a pretty obvious one. The rest... simply wow.

[@pointblack808]

that oxygen deprivation trick really upped him up. must be gOOd

[@NewsOnQueue]

This guys a fucking genius and a great showman

[@southerndragonsystem]

Absolutely brilliant

[@archael18]

I don't believe for a second that saying "sleep" to someone hypnotizes them. It's pretty much the only thing I find absolutely ridiculous in what Derren does. The rest is all good, even if I can work out how the tricks were done, and the presentation is really entertaining.
