​@@williamfelton8585 Exactly. Thanks for bringing this up here, wasn't sure what it was anymore ;) And no need for the last sentence, it just makes (us) hypnotists look bad. Suggesting looking up the Mike Tyson article etc. was already enough, to be honest and your other stuff, but no need to change the tone at the end. And I wish more people were aware that hypnosis really CAN change our lives in an INSTANT, if we let it and want it. Not to mention the ability of self-hypnosis. But for those untrained and where it works better with another person, hypnotherapists are the heroes, so keep doing what you are doing ;)

[@williamfelton8585]

@@Chizuru94 I know sometimes I get a bit testy with people. I am old and my filters have fallen off on the rough road called life. I am also one who, when someone tells me they CANNOT be hypnotized, I ask to see their death certificate and autopsy report so I can see how the doctors explained their death, since without the process we call "hypnosis" when we enhance it clinically to help people, ALL of their organs would shut down as they controls for them all would be cut off. When they tell me they are "too intelligent" to be hypnotized, I laugh and explain that the more intelligent one is, the easier it is to guide them into trance, because they are already more connected than most. Then I tell them, "But I could be wrong, I have only been practicing hypnosis for 50 years." And I also point out that in clinical, stage and street hypnosis, the willingness of the subject to be hypnotized is a key ingredient to success. Not so with covert, conversational and text hypnosis and to a good degree NLP, as they never know it is happening so they don't put up defenses. I am no hero my friend. I am simply an old guy who still enjoys watching peoples lives improve rapidly and painlessly.

Boy - you have to be truly gullible to fall for any of that kind of transparent BS, right ?

[@heyho39]

Please give me a chance to explain to you how things like this work: This is a show. People know it is a show. Consciously or subconsciously they know: 1. "Nobody will get hurt." 2. They are made to believe "if somebody gets hurt its not my fault, but the hypnotists." 3. There's massive peer pressure and stage fright. They might think something like this: "This is all in good fun. If I don't play along, I'm sabotaging the show! All the attention will be on me! And not in a good way.Do i really want to confront the audience-controlling confident Hypnotist? It's easier to choose to believe, that i can't help but play along." What this video doesn't include is that in stage hypnosis shows there is usually a huge prep talk where: 1. "Good subjects" are pretty much framed to be "great, amazing, bla", 2. Where the idea that pretending to be hypnotized and not going along with suggestions would make a person fraudulent and a bad or unhealthy person. After all you volunteered to take part, haven't you? And just pretending to by hypnotized wouldn't be ok, would it? Its a catch22. Either go along with every suggestion, or "you aren't really hypnotized." Also, even if a person said to him/herself: "I'm gonna play along at first, but then stop to expose the hypnotist." Once they're up there on stage, stage fright will hit them like a truck. There mind will go like this: "Will i really be able to stand up to this highly experienced charismatic person? Won't i be the center of a attention in a really negative way? Will he try even harder to hypnotized me? Until i really can't resist, maybe? I guess i better play along." What is making people go along (consciously or subconsciously) is: Stagefright, peer-pressure, and - yes - prolly a little bit of trance - but that mostly serves as an excuse for the subjects to not feel that their being overrolled through confusion-tactics and deception. Also, so the subjects don't have to feel guilty. Keep in mind: All the people essentially volunteered to have all those things done to them! Suggestible people might eventually feel like, they can't help it. The reality is likely: They enjoy not feeling responsible, wich is relieving. They enjoy the attention. They don't really WAN'T to resist because they feel it's safer and easier to play along. They could. Hypnosis can't just create assassins... Just imaging for a second how the world would look if it was this easy to manipulate other people. There'd be no mental illness. They'd just be sending hypnotist as ambassadors and overthrow any dictator in a "snap". This is something theatrical and sensational, that people choose to believe because its exciting and it dims down responsibility for their own actions. Derren admitted more than once that it wouldn't work like this in real live. The context that it's a show makes it possible for people to follow suggestions that they usually wouldn't. Also: One of the subjects seems to be an actor...

My favourite is when he convinces an American university student that he, Derren Brown, has made the sun disappear. The student, as you can imagine, becomes anxious and disoriented. He. also, did a programme debunking psychics. During this he did fake horoscopes for a bunch of American volunteers.

[@joeynuggetz]

Only thing I thought was strange is the reaction of the audience. Would have thought they would be screaming unless the entire mezzanine was in on it and perhaps it takes people closest to the shooting to start the panic.

[@billynym6701]

It would be interesting to hear from someones who was actually there at the talk to confirm what the sequence of events were - the time frame between Stephen getting shot and Derren appearing etc. Usually all theaters in the UK there's a safety curtain which drops down stage front should anything amiss happens during a performance. Can't see from the footage of the auditorium if there was one but certainly there were curtains by the wings. I think after the initial shock of the shots most normal punters attending would have twigged that something was up - there would've been no way at the very least the people back stage on the wings etc would've let me lie there 'dead' for however long before Derren popped his head up. (I was at a play once where one of the actors had an full on seizure and keeled over mid performance, curtain came down straight away.) The people around the shooter as the commentary pointed out were security and firearm experts and other personnel for the shooters safe keeping. Remember he was under deep hypnosis, and would have been very dangerous to spook him by starting a panic etc - notice how calm they all were after the shots were fired and whispering in his ear. Speaking off people reactions my only observation to all of this its that they couldn't possibly pull a stunt like this now - imagine the fucking pandemonium it'll cause in light of everything that's happened in the last couple years. And to think that this programme was only aired in 2011. What a horrible sad times we live in.

[@fireburn95rs]

i thought that too lol, it looked pretty real and they just sat down asking to be shot lol

[@slauderek3195]

It appeared that some assumed it was a joke. In that moment you almost don’t know how to react. Either they wait for a chain reaction of people panicking to also panic, or they were waiting for more shots to know they’re also in danger

[@slauderek3195]

Jack Martin makes sense. I suppose u could sue for trauma for someone faking an assassination

[@MrKrimson]

1. They werent told, as he said - only the ones near him, the rest are normal (unless thsi is all staged as most Derren Brown vids are, no offence) 2. Its stephen Fry in a theatre, managing to scream 3 tiems ebfore dying, which is possible, but it didnt really look realistic, and they couldve htought it a joke by him. 3. What woudl you do? panick and make yourself ook weak infron of a shooter, run away to be picekd off... just belnd in.. wait for panic... then join in toblend in - human instinct.. weirder than you think.

[@TheFourthDefender]

A carefully done job would leave a well-chosen target completely blank, unable to remember anything they did. Not even flashbacks of senseless details like you see in bad movies - nothing at all, and they'd also often suffer from acute temporal confusion on top of that, which would make them appear nothing short of batshit crazy in the eyes of your average police officer or civil judge. You'd assume that a job such as Robbie Kennedy would've been done very carefully. Also, based on the pictures, that man who was convicted does seem like a suitable target - in the sense of reception to hypnotic persuasion. It's something that you can easily see in the eyes sometimes, and in this man's eyes you can read both this "reception quality" and also strong killing intent - not necessarily the "will" to kill someone premeditately, but the (often un-self-conscious) "heart" or strength to do so should the situation require it. Odds are he's telling the truth

[@studmalexy]

Your insistence in multiple threads of this suggesting his atheism is frankly very weird. While I myself am an atheist and I could argue the nature of atheism is to question and not be controlled, when your god controls everything you do in your life (the grand plan as they say) but it's irrelevant to try and pin someone's characteristics on a single thread such as faith, age, gender or ethnicity.

Defeating withdrawal is only a small part of overcoming addiction. While a lot of non addicts seem to think that beating withdrawal means you no longer are addicted, it's quite far from the truth. The mental battle afterwards can go on for years, and for some it's a lifetime of mental struggle. Sobriety is painfully boring. You go from years of intense pleasure and having no problem with wasting time, to being unable to feel anything and feeling like every second is an eternity. The anxiety of depression of that alone is awful, but then you have to battle the true reasons for your addiction and the problems you have been running from this whole time - only this time you have to face it without drugs numbing you and it's then you realize just how fucked you are. Opiates ruin your life, sober or not.

We need to know how a person can be so easily programmable. We need to know which among us are so easily programmable. We need to prevent people from taking advantage of easily programmable people.

[@jennifermuse9154]

I believe it’s been done multiple times.

[@pokerphil1st]

The scary thing is that not one person in the audience reacted in any way.

[@Ciaran55]

Chris has now been desensitized and only stabs people after seeing gingham

[@sufferationist]

Don't watch bake off at his house then

[@jammmajbald]

Surely when he looked back at himself 'killing' Stephen he would have re-entered the amnesia state from seeing the Polka Dot Woman?

[@christy5526]

had the same thought but the cue to pull the trigger was ringtone, polka dots prepared him.

[@nicolebarlow8049]

At the end of all of derrens experiments he removes the triggers from the person

[@tinytim8173]

He probably had the programming removed so that he doesn't accidentally kill people and he was also there with derren and other people talking to him about the event and keeping him grounded to reality whenever derren hypnotizes people he never starts to talk to them as a person about what's happening he always just tells them what to do and he definitely doesn't ask hypnotised people questions that take some thought to answer like what were you feeling during this so I think that can probably wake a person up even if he did start to become hypnotized

[@Daniel-dp2yc]

He didn't put his finger on his forehead and Derren never told him to do anything like 'relax' or what ever

Very interesting experiment thanks for the upload Darren.

[@bug9193]

They’ve been doing this since the 1960’s. This is basically MKUltra, this is just the friendly less effective way

[@AngeliFernandez]

This guy is really scary. I am hopeful his intentions are pure, and he is capable of undoing what he has suggested others to do. His results can clearly be extremely dangerous.

[@theeboseissher]

Yes indeed. Powerful people are very scary. It's because with such amount of power, they can do really bad things and get away with it. However, I don't think Derren is a person who would misuse his power, but who knows? People change all the time.

[@nastyMMAofficial]

This dude found actors and is doing what he wants you to do. Believe bullshit

[@nikolozka1]

Good Job Darren on editing out the blood part from the video, good job

[@em_pen]

Yay correct video this time! (But btw, check the info for typos ;) ) Had to watch this today even though I've seen it recently. It's still amazing. Shocking.

[@paeneinnoxias4617]

Chris’s face at the end when he realizes what that all means

[@frog5271]

Omg can you imagine if that ringtone still sets him off and in the future he kills someone

[@Myst3]

~Thank you, for all you do. Much love ♥️♥️♥️~

[@SophiaAphrodite]

Imagine how dangerous this could be. If you are this talented you could walk up to someone at a park, shopping, or anything in public. Do a test to see how suggestible they are. If they are, you could then gradually do this to them and they would never remember meeting you, not remember the things they did. Even if you cannot get them to commit a crime, They won't remember why.

[@tyleremery7088]

Derren mentioned when he was explaining it to the audience that it was after months of work, and earlier in the show that Chris was in the top 1% of subjects in terms of suggestibility. Sure, it's possible to hypnotize a random person in public and give them amnesia, but something on this scale wouldn't really be feasible.

[@TicTacOff]

That man is terrifying but absolutely amazing

[@ZhangK71]

The whole hydrochloric acid test should make no sense for any logically-minded person. If you are a person who is not actually under hypnotic influence but nonetheless "plays along", you should realize that no way in hell would anyone actually get splashed in the face with anything remotely acidic, let alone an extremely strong corrosive like hydrochloric acid -- forget the lawsuits; no "volunteer" would even be standing in front of the acid in the first place if they were actually risking getting their face burnt off. Therefore, you would conclude that no acid is going to be splashed on anybody because it won't be real acid at all. Therefore, you may safely splash the "acid" at someone, as if you were genuinely hypnotic. Therefore, the test would completely fall apart and be rendered useless. Or you could just be a complete psychopath who would splash potential acid on someone, regardless of whether (you know) it's real or not. Then the test would fail as well; the main assumption/logic behind is that conscious people would out themselves by acting in non-psychopathic ways, and this clearly doesn't work with psychopaths.

[@Draw2quit]

I would pay good money to be able to go into the amnesia state whenever I walk into work.

[@IgiWhiteman]

11:16 "open your eyes" The -guy- actor on the left already opened his eyes a few seconds ago and goes to himself "oh shit, that was too soon, start blinking furiously, maybe it will look like I´ve opened my eyes just now."

[@wolfieeeee256]

Oh yeah wow! Editing mistake? Or acting? I respect Derren either way, but you can never be sure :)

[@cultureshock72]

hmm good catch.

[@ZhangK71]

I personally interpreted it as the guy simply wasn’t susceptible and/or cooperative. And it’s not as if he’s legally obligated to hide the fact that he’s not susceptible, so he could be closed-eye-blinking out of boredom, like a sort of fingers tapping on wooden table

[@moasoucsgoandrustgaming566]

[@kellingtonlink956]

Once again... an amazing idea and very well done/edited. I love the fact that you could take advantage of Mr. Steven Fry (thank you, Mr Fry). Another brilliant production. Thanks.

[@XavierGuillaume]

What is scary is that no one in the audience reacted. Like, no one ran, no one went to see if they could help him. They just sat there and watched.

[@daniel4647]

Back in the days of kazaa I downloaded a text, I have no idea how to find it now or what it even was, but it was very creepy stuff. Talked about completely fracturing the minds of people from birth, creating people with dual identities and how it was done using a combination of religious indoctrination, torture and hypnotism. The idea was very much like here, where the brain creates the alternate reality in order to protect itself. But it described how torture was used on the subjects from a very early age, before the age of 1, about how religion was used to fracture them further later on by raising them very Christian and then switching it up where people they trusted all their lives, their parents or guardians, suddenly take part in explicit and traumatic Satanic rituals, then go back to normal Christians after like nothing happened. All with the goal of creating a person that could live two lives completely separate from each other, so separate that they themselves had no awareness of the other personality. I think it was supposed to be about brainwashing, I had a teenage faze where I thought that was interesting so that makes sense, but I never believed a word of it until now. At the time I didn't think anyone would torture a baby, so must be fake, but now that I'm older and have heard about a lot of horrible things I know that some people sure would. I'm going to go check out that MK ultra thing, maybe that was it.

To be fair, it is possible to mask the symptoms that a lie detector picks up on. It is also possible to get a false positive.

[@mrmarvellous5378]

An entertaining and great illusion, I will say no more.

[@TSSuppository]

The majority of people seem to be entertained by what was, primarily and ostensibly, entertainment. But I wonder how many really felt the gravity of what happened in this episode; the true amazing horror of it. What atrocities may have been committed under "research" programs like MK Ultra? I am not a conspiracy theorist by any stretch of the imagination, but I firmly believe that Sirhan Sirhan was not responsible for his actions that fateful day in 1968, and that, even if he is technically RFK's assassin, he is an innocent man who has languished in prison for over 50 years, a scapegoat for the crimes of others. Mr. Brown's programme was superb, but it was also shocking and deeply disturbing. We should all take some time to ponder the ramifications of it. xx

[@AutomaticDuck300]

Sirhan confessed and had evidence against him. I don't know why he suddenly went back on it and said he was mind controlled. It was purely for political reasons. Did MK-ULTRA happen? Yes. Was it therefore used to assassinate people who were making trouble for the system? I doubt it.

[@evukelectricvehicles]

It wasn't exactly shocking or surprising when I first watched the original TV broadcast well over a decade ago. It simply confirmed the obvious to all of us thoroughly researched truth-seekers and collusion factualists. Some of us are almost always eventually vindicated - proven to have been right all along. Yet the gullible or complicit majority who smeared us never apologize and never admit they were wrong all along. Now of course, programmed killers are rightly deemed superfluous, too risky and unreliable. CIA/NSA/Mossad etc assassins are far more efficient, experienced, reliable, clinical and covert - and they can rely on our spinelessly complicit mainstream media to shut up and facilitate the ensuing cover-up.

If he's really doing this (and it certainly looks like he is, although I know it could be just part of the act) then I want to know how he keeps himself mentally healthy - it can't be good for one's state of mind to have that kind of power.

[@SimplySammyK]

I'm sure he isn't allowed due to disclosure, but I would LOVE for Chris to make a video on his experience with this, so fascination. I've ALWAYS wanted to meet Derren and be part of his experiment. I'm so jealous, Derren come to Nottingham I beg aha

[@SimplySammyK]

the reason I would love to hear his side, if this was real(I'm not bothered if it wasn't, I love Derren) then I want to know how it felt for him to see himself do that, if there was any paranoia after the show and stuff. Shame he's basically faded into obscurity.
