The Dark Side of Derren Brown's Trick Or Treat |Amaze

Derren Brown choses six applicants at random and offers them the choice of a nice surprise, or a much darker one. The applicants won't know whether they have chosen trick or treat and won't know how or when it will happen to them. In this episode, a psychologist named Jules takes a drive that seemingly ends her life as she knows it.

The legal hoops to jump to get this produced must be mindboggling.

[@Rufus066]

Or it could be the viewer being tricked into thinking it's real

[@ShitMental]

@@Rufus066 Good point. Perhaps that would be easier.

[@miraqen7801]

they always check their mental health -- it's in the contract -- otherwise it would be plainly illegal if they just blatantly throw random people into these situations.

[@JustAnOrdinarySimmer]

No because these contestants applied to be on the show......

[@evildeed90s]

they applied to be on the show and had sign a waiver and other legal documentation to say they dont have health problems and forfeit their rights to sue if something goes wrong so its nothing they or the family could do if they dropped dead or had a heart attack or suffered any kind of trauma and mental illness after the show because they signed documents to say they was fit and healthy to be apart of the show and can be humiliated on tv.

[@aayy11300]

loved how derren used hypnosis to keep her fixed to the floor so she couldn't try shaking the actors or going up to them etc until the phone rang at the end

[@ijutsu2438]

Nonsense.

[@Ellie-ph9un]

I thought the same 😂

[@eracerhed]

The trick or treat cards are ambigrams so it really doesnt matter what you choose.

[@jameshoulton7489]

The treat ones always said trat anyway instead of treat for some reason

[@KerbsterCrushtic]

I know right. If i was on this show with that knowledge id flip it upside down.

at the end he should have put her back under and moved her into the ambulance where they took the fake version, stuck an oxygen mask on her, laid her down and THEN woke her up so that she then thought she had momentarily died, saw her corpse in the car and then woke up in an ambulance all ok.

All of his stuff reminds me of jigsaw and makes me feel like I'm watching something wrong. But FUN! 😂

[@danvenables4935]

It's extraordinary the amount of work that Derren's team does to make some of these possible. This seemed like possibly the most work, although it was largely all towards creating the lifelike replica mask. It's scary how these can be made, although actually it wasn't quite so identical as I expected- purely compared to most of DB's work! Though she clearly fell for it, though much more to do with the feeling of being an invisible spirit they portrayed to her. It does make me wonder though if some of these shows failed and they didn't show them us. I mean it could easily have failed at the start if they couldn't break into her car- how did they just do that anyway?! It did seem like showing off to start the show by tampering with her car, DB doesn't like to take the easy route! I dread to think the master criminal Derren could have become if he had chosen to be! lol

[@seanbrady6711]

As an ex driving instructor i think that was the best thing Derren could have possibly done for that girl. she was heading for a real crash if she'd have carried on driving like that.

[@Em1ly949]

Kinda Scary he has them sign a Contract 😳

[@cannedcrickets9932]

I’m surprised she didn’t try to grab anyone??

[@randomvideouploader2022]

The most amazing trick is getting them to sign a contract they don’t even read

[@shannond7437]

What most of us do to be fair. In this one they are aware of and trust Derren.

[@JustAnOrdinarySimmer]

He always says "Sign this contract, it just allows us to do anything we want with you" so pretty self explanatory...

[@metaphysicalmuse2773]

Nobody reads contracts lol

[@Futures_End]

Well they're hardly going to keep that in the show, aren't they?

[@PaladinGear15]

One time I was in the passenger seat with my father, and we saw a woman in the driver's seat doing her makeup, with one hand in a bag in her lap, looking into her car mirror, on a street with a school. No hands on the wheel, not looking at the road... applying freaking makeup! It's insane what some idiots will do.

[@TheWeardale1]

I saw a woman do that once on a motorway, i was that shocked i nearly dropped my razor in my cornflakes!

[@debbiehenri345]

My ex-boyfriend would always 'ALWAYS' would start taking off his jacket and then a jumper minutes after starting to drive off, forcing me (a non-driver at that time, and always anxious on the road) to take the wheel. The police should pull more 'distracted drivers' off the road for a lot longer than they do, make them take some lessons and resit their tests.

[@Dim4323]

This was simply a warning for her Show what happend if she hands free or using the phone or etc...and yeah that end part.

[@debbiehenri345]

A hard lesson for a driver who certainly didn't deserve a 'treat.'

[@irinaphoenix2169]

I don't know how car insurance works in England, but I would guess that hers is pretty fkd now.

[@mrmarvellous5378]

Entertaining as always.

Maybe it’s because mebeing American, idk, I think I’d be going absolutely crazy out of my mind screaming ! Lol she was so polite!!! 🤣

[@user-rg7ru3lo9w]

wtf is that over-the-phone hypnotism??? Yea right that could happen.

[@ststudios12345]

If she's already been hypnotized once then he could send her back to sleep over the phone with a command. Is this the first time you've watched anything by Derren Brown?

[@user-rg7ru3lo9w]

ststudios12345 ahh that makes sense, I must’ve missed the part where they hypnotised her the first time.

[@nrx8684]

Mind my back she said the paramedics lol

[@SimplySammyK]

me failing my first driving test with 1 fault(marked serious with no real explanation as to why it was a serious, i changed lane, lane was empty. big ?) seeing Jewels drive is frustrating because she is dangerous as hell

[@beatriceveraille9666]

those trick- or treat cards are ambigrams.. even when you happen to choose a treat-card, you just have to turn the card upside down and treat becomes trick;

[@johnw6389]

She could have been stopped killing...if she had kept he hands on the wheel!!!! .. :o) 9:48

[@kairigby9117]

Lol. Sure.....

[@jackrobinson9403]

the way they ended this was so lazy

[@disguisedboots]

maybe it was because she wasnt happy with the experiment and wouldnt give them a positive closing statement.

[@キラキラくりくり頭]

What would you have preferred?

[@jeffchapel79]

Hello

[@kparvez16]

Card Trick is Treat Upside down. Does that mean, in reality we are being tricked by the show?🤔

[@mrYsignal]

I don't understand this. It wasn't explained properly. At 18:00 she just falls asleep randomly and gets taken out of her car and put in an ambulance then she somehow wakes up right beside the scene of the accident? Can someone explain what happened here?

[@nox_tech_]

did you skip through to the end without watching anything else? after she volunteered for the show, and was determined to be hypnotizable, they determined her trick. she regularly doesn't pay much attention while driving, sometimes not even using her hands, so they made her think she got in a car crash and died. they made a double of her by making a fake mask, and put that on a body double. at 18:00, they call her to give her a verbal trigger to sleep before reaching the intersection. then they transport her to the fake accident at the intersection.

[@Ellie-ph9un]

How did she manage to walk to answer the phone without being 'de-programmed' first?

[@gordonkerry9320]

The card's an ambigram. Turn it one way, it says "Trick" - turn it 180 degrees it says "Treat".

[@Ordinal_Nominal]

Definetly not

[@BeezerWashingbeard]

@@Ordinal_Nominal Google "Ambigram". It's actually a quite fascinating thing. I was amazed the first time I saw it. Theres even websites that will generate them for you.

How he do that?

[@Antipope23]

Did she really sign that contract without reading it?

[@justsaying6632]

I think they cut it off.. because there is a cut in that scene onto the next where he gave her the pen. Plus you can see while he is still talking shes looking at the paper.

[@chel3SEY]

Either this is all faked (most likely) or she's the most credulous person in the world.

[@lexih7653]

Its obviously fake... They completely ruined this when she heard that stupid noise on the phone and passed out. I mean really that was way too much.

[@DanielJackson2010]

the part of her hypnotic suggestion was she was not to be able to move her legs.

18:21 and 20:15 not wearing a microphone 21:33 microphone antenna sticking out her lower back 21:40 microphone removed? too far away to see 22:41 wearing microphone i think? again distant shot 23:10 CLEARLY wearing a microphone! There's no way she drove with the microphone attached onto the back of her belt and there's no where in the story where they could have put one on. very strange?

[@bashkillszombies]

I bet you're the life of the party when your mother throws you a birthday bash. :)

[@disguisedboots]

@@bashkillszombies god shut up

[@aaronm9353]

Interesting. While the microphone itself is not visible in these shots, what you’re seeing is the RF transmitter bodypack (or at least its antenna) that the lapel mic will be connected to from which its audio is being relayed to a receiver probably connected to a nearby camera. I didn’t notice anything out of the ordinary in those shots at first glance, but I must say, it appears this has been rigged.

[@judithwardley]

These are all AFTER she has had the “accident” though. Even if you’re right, if you saw your dead body in the car and couldn’t move and no one heard you and police and paramedics came, would your first thought be “oh I’ll just check my back to see if Derek rigged a mic on me”?

[@3HitRanger]

@@judithwardley your forgetting that the mic is clearly visible in 1 shot and then in the next shot.... seconds later.... its not there. Therefore the only logical conclusions are: the event (or parts of the event) were filmed twice or the mic was removed and put back on in between shots. Both of which suggest she was fully aware of the filming. The fact it was after the accident as you say, supports the idea that they need to record her voice when shes outside the car, since we know the car is rigged with a mic and they can't have a sound guy stood there with a bit boom. Your second point doesn't make sense, you think the a actress should blatantly reveal the mic on camera? Also its Derren not Derek LMFAO. Honestly i love Derren and I've seen him live, this is the ONLY thing I've ever seen which doesn't add up which blows my mind.

and it taught her a really important lesson about taking care when driving - if she never forgets to put her seatbelt on again and keeps both her hands on wheel/focuses on her driving, then its a success

[@phoenixrising2609]

Entertaining though

[@JustAnOrdinarySimmer]

Well this "poor woman" could have really been in an accident and either killed herself or worse, some other innocent person. Derren done this to her because she was a bad driver, always in her phone and messing around whilst not paying attention.
