There's No Such Thing As Luck? | DOUBLE EPISODE | Derren Brown

[@charliegirl3056]

I loved Derren when he was on TV every week, it's great to be able to see him here on KZbin

[@mathewfield7671]

The lucky dog episode is one of the most heartwarming things I’ve ever seen on television. Wonderful stuff.

Honestly I love that he cuts through all the horsecrap like psychics and mystics and just entertains in such a wholesome way. There is always a positive message in the episodes whether its to open your eyes to the opportunities all around you and make your own luck, or to remove the negative baggage in your life and remember the excitement you had as a kid. Chapeau Mr Brown. Exceptional.

Makes me realize how much I don't know myself, or how human brain works. I like that behind your work is kindness. With skills like that, you need to have an enormous amount of responsibility. Amazing stuff.

[@benturner3458]

To be fair though, it's not just skill Derren has. Most of these things he sets up require an ungodly amount of preparation before they even stand a chance of working. And they don't always work on everyone. I guarantee he probably has a pretty high percentage of people who don't "fall for it" and they just get cut out of the video. Saying that though I love Derren and think his stuff is amazing

[@5RustyBin]

@@benturner3458 thats true but then its back to Wayne in the first episode. If you want to be lucky you are more likely to be. If you want to "fall for it" then you are open minded and a much more susceptible subject that will no doubt have great results.

[@benturner3458]

@@5RustyBin I think they say that between 10 and 20% of the population are suggestible enough to be viable candidates for hypnosis. I think it has a lot to do with the ability to be put into a trance state, and lots of us just can't relax enough to let it happen- we also aren't as easily influenced or suggestible and again I believe that is sort of the bedrock that these sort of techniques are built on. If you can't be put 'under' then nothing is going to work (I believe, though don't quote me on that 😂, it's been a while since I've read up on it. Though it is fascinating) Cheers for the reply mate

You are right that he did but I don't actually think her credibility had really come under any real or serious scrutiny back whenever this program was made.

[@edmckay8647]

I once.produced her on home shopping telly as she had her own range of jewellery with us, normally my job is to tell the presenter product information, co trol the pricing strategy and give the presenter the names of the people calling in to buy. I refused to give her any names as I said she should have known them without me shouting them out if she is psychic, the head of production gave me a right bollocki g as she refused to come on air again lol

[@Ali1986Koksal]

@@edmckay8647 what I have never understood myself with people who are supposedly able to connect with the dead is why are the messages never clear? I will give you an example: "I'm getting a Jenny or a Jill?" I just find it EXTREMELY convenient that information they are pertaining to get is never crystal clear. It's worded in such a way that leaves it open for the person they are talking to to run with and fill in the gaps themselves. I mean let's be honest its all BULLSHIT anyway and you know NO ONE can talk to the dead but I don't understand why no one ever calls them out on it either.

[@henrypadilla7973]

[@RoonilWazlib011]

was not expecting that insane character development from wayne. had me crying when he won on his luck after all!

[@AndrewLakeUK]

Well it was a trick made for TV, it was through design he won, not luck. The artifice of the multiple rolls are there to make you think it's random. There's a thousand and one ways to fake it, relying on chance isn't one.

[@AndrewLakeUK]

@@lemon_j22 Do you know he didn't. Us Yorkshiremen give generously when we can, but don't see the need to advertise it. After over 50 years knowing people like that and towns like that, he would spend the money locally. Derron changed nothing, this is a TV show, not reality. He doesn't have magical powers, he's is a conjuror. He made more money out of the town than he gave.

[@AndrewLakeUK]

@@lemon_j22 Probably not, the impact from most TV stunts don't resonate for decades. Do you think he's so stupid he needs a white saviour from the home counties to tell him his secret power like a fairy story? How patronising, you should be ashamed of yourself.

[@EricCanzler]

This is so odd. I am normally a Wayne with the worst luck of anybody I know. My friends and neighbors recognize my bad luck and pity me. But earlier today I went to get a haircut and it was a one hour wait. Well there was a lady outside whose car battery had died and she needed a jump start. I have cables but they weren't in the car. So I drove home to get them but couldn't find them. So I stopped at an auto parts store and picked up a pair. Drove back and got her car started, and she gave me 50 dollars. I said it was too much but she insisted I take it. To top it off, it all happened in time to get my haircut with no waiting at all. Then later I came across this video. It's the strangest coincidence of my life. I've jump started other folks before but nobody ever gave me money for it.

[@bikesbirdsandbonsai2012]

Never use big words when small ones are equally proficient

[@KeijjoHammas-bw9ep]

​@@TheKillingJoker1980 a vast vocabulary increases your ability to logically think and communicate with nuance just like learning a forrein language might. Why should you simplificate your thinking and communication? You dont think people are so thik thev can not understand words if they are not too common? Do you think they are not able to ask what a word means if it is new to them? Well, if youre being so afraid to admit you don't know everything, thats the only way one could stagnate to the point of voluntary ignorance because of silly cowardice or pride? No sane person would want to just pretend to know something they know they don't get at all. That would torment their mind. Its extreme stupidity to pretend to know instead of admitting you dont know. When you can at any time begin to ask, read about to learn and to observe aswell as discuss and even experiemet, to see if you have learned to find out where you are. It only takes time. There is no shame in giving complicate explanations to communicate complicate and novel ideas to one that is interested in morre than just learning the shallow words to utter in similar opportunities just to be able to manipulate others ignorant about the subject to see your performance as you knowing something you don't really understand, Complex issues need nuance, so the whole issue is not misunderstood by the learning party because of over simplification leading to passing on useless but convincing data, but creating false facts that lead to distorted opinions, actions with un intented aftermath We got government media religious cults and cultural misinformation for you if you want just answers that can not be logically questioned so trying to follow the daya will make you un easy in your safe fairy realm.

What I would give to have a sit down with this man. I think it would be life changing

[@principal_optimism]

What most people call luck is actually a combination of 1) "fortune" best defined as a beneficial outcome and 2) "probability" - the mathematical definition. and 3) a belief in a metaphysical "luck" which is attributed to people, objects, moments, etc. "they got lucky"... Did they perform any better than the probability would predict? Often not. "they got lucky" just means "they received a fortunate outcome". "they got lucky". They got the rare item after 10 events when the expected proability is 1/100. Does this mean a spirit is bending the probability in their favour? No. A 1/100 chance will not always happen every 100 events on the 100th event. But the earlier or later the outcome occurs compared to the expected probability just becomes less and less likelier.

[@Mikcha212]

You know, when he said “it’s not a rude word” something about the way he said rude made me think root. Which then had me thinking a 4 letter word would be tree, because I figured I’d need to visualize a root and that would be too hard so I wanted to visualize a tree instead. But maybe it’s the accent he used that he really said “it’s not a road word.” So when he said the word started with R I went back and started thinking root. But obviously that was wrong.

Luck in life isn't about being handed £20 for answering some questions, or winning a TV from a scratch card, but about the big picture. Wayne says he has bad luck, but he clearly hasn't. Hard work and commitment have contributed, but he had the good luck to inherit or build a business which was popular in the area. The majority of businesses fail. I've never won the lottery, but I've had episodes of good luck which have resulted in good things happening which lasted years, and which were far more important than winning a few quid.
