Derren Brown Live: Hero at 30,000 feet, C4 10pm

I believe that he believed he was doing it and that's the main thing.:) I also believed Derren when he said it was the proudest moment of his career.:cry:

However, though he may be a great magician, psychologist and illusionist, changing the minRABet of the majority of cynical RABers is a trick too far for Derren ;)
 
In fact failing on the roulette task makes it look even more like he had a system. If he had hit the right number it would have looked completely like a fix. There is no way you can accurately predict the outcome of a spin, even with the most powerful supercomputers in the world you won't be able to do it. However by missing out by one place people will still think the system is real because it still gives the impression he was on the right track. It's just misdirection to cover the fact he span that wheel 400 times to get the result.
 
Only just thought of that, right before I read your post! :p DOH!
:rolleyes:

I'd also forgotten how god awful the robbers were! :eek:

Maybe he expects us to believe that if your 'hypnotised' you won't even notice terrible acting! :p
 
But Derren had met Ben (casino) before during an audition process, and Matt (airplane) likewise, and in the latter case has since said there was much work done off-screen. Why would he fake it if it were possible? Why risk using an actor?

What have you been made to do against your will while under hypnosis, that you had no recollection of?
 
the book I quoted is not a new age book. its the result of years of investigation into hypnosis, so don't bring this new age bunkum into it. hypnosis does not belong exclusively to newagers. I suggest you read the book yourself.
 
Not convinced. If aliens can master intergalactic travel, I don't see that it's much of a stretch to imagine they can attach a plank to a bit of rope and flatten down some wheat.

(still waiting for Ginger Geek to return btw...he promised me :()
 
His appearances beside the plane straight after Big Brother finished and the bits again in the plane inbetween the breaks,

It was only live when it said LIVE at the top of the screen.
 
Do they really ask the passengers to help in a real scenario? I mean, the flight crew weren't doing a lot at that time, they could've done it?
 
He would have cropped up in The Bill but thats been axed now.

This was watchable as there was nothing else to do last night. Its a great talking point too but what non sense.

The jack in the box. Wouldn't be playing with that, gone in the bin. Lying on train tracks I'd have been screaming for help and I would have sat up a lot quicker than he did.
The sitting randomly in the park, done that myself but very much aware of people watching me, let a lone a camera.

Then there was the nighttime nonsense. If someone was calling my voice I'd have woken the o/h up and shouted someone was inthe house, lights would have gone on. I sleep walk and those camera night lights would have woken me up. Infact the rain would have too or the moving vehicle.

The party. The van key and items, errrm hello, theft would br ringing through my mind. Would have either left it there or gone to the police. Same with wallet and keys. although like most would have checked for cash and then left on floor or taken to local police. Gteting in a cab without knowing the address, why would you do that? And no money transaction strange, the camera in the front of the cvab...in fact all cameras what nonsese.

Then getting to the house and letting yourself in. Well he's techniclaly stolen a van and its contents and managed to set it up in the road without any knowledge of how to do that and then on top of that managed to gt rid of it all magically. - Maybe that was the trick of the show.
More like if you'd got that far posted it through the letter box. Then sitting down and watching the tv whatever, it was all nonsense.

The instant hypnosis on the plane what crap. Heightened state. I've had many of those and touching my head doesn't make me go out cold.
 
How convenient he goes up as the clock hits 0 and it;s daylight outside the plane, no way this is live. Christ, hurry in BB!!
