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

Im watching this again right now. There is a white /grey patch(?)at rear of tellers hair,he is not grey! It is clearly same guy ! You would think Matt would notice:rolleyes:


Backlighting,rain doesnt show up in dark,without light,Derren is backlit.



Run over a camerman?! WTF when? Taxi slows down we see it approaching froma camera view(hidden ina car or house as its shot form behind glass. The white 4x4 is there as taxi stops(rear left window). What beggars belief is your eyesight;)



You might want to re-think that.
 
Its always same whenever some Derren show is aired:Fake! staged! actors!

Good grief. Everyone was in on it RAB apart from Matt.Yes it wasnt particularly exciting-apart from the crocodile-,or Derren's best but better than most TV shows these days.

That is all. :)
 
Did anyone else feel it was over the top too that Matt decided to land the plane an agonising 4 seconRAB before the time-limit would have ended?

If anyone has a Twitter account you could direct Brown to this thread, and beg him to go back to old-school Heist Derren.
 
Agreed. I reckon that whole scene was filmed after the event though just for additional footage. There were a few bits like that. Yeah the train bit was laughable but it obviously took place on a disused piece of track with a slow moving prop carriage. It's a shame as i reckon the show was real but it ended up looking faked by the way it was put together.
My mate got done by Olivia Lee for one of her shows a couple of years ago. After they revealed it was all a stunt they asked him if he wouldn't mind filming some additional footage which they just edited in as if was was originally captured by the hidden cameras.
 
Honestly don't get people who think all the tricks are just done with stooges. If they were, nobody would be impressed, and other magicians would hate Derren, whereas he's actually rather revered in the field as it goes. If he used stooges for everything, people would hate him and he'd get a Criss Angel response. He uses stooges, but very sparingly. I'd say maybe 10% of the time.
 
I saw one of the shows and seem to recall that Derren had a member of the audience open the envelope and read the word. Can anyone clarify?
 
The cameras were dodgy. Fair enough, I can understand the hidden cameras in his house but there was also a camera on the bus! how is that possible? and the camera also followed him to the park. How could he have not realised this?

also, the dreaming bit. I honestly can't believe Matt didn't realise that it wasn't a dream when he was talking to Derren at night.
 
Funny you should say that, I thought he sounded like he had a sore throat at one point in Hero.


I can believe this, Darth. We know Derren uses stooges in his live shows for a fact. In one of his tours, he had a bit where he got members of the audience to write things on paper, and in every show he would always open one piece of paper where some young laRAB had written
 
It depresses me that Derren has jumped the shark so much, I used to love his simpler tricks.

Now, his stunts are so unbelievable , nobody with any sanity would ever believe they were anything other than staged.
 
That's the most amazing thing happening tonight. People are saying they are switching off and yet don't!

This really is threatening a lot of people's belief systems and they just can't cope.

Amazing and amusing!
 
We all have different opinions about DB, his shows, the entertainment value.

I watched it on delay (to skip aRAB) and I followed this thread as live. DB is smug and irritating but he is talented at the mind control of those who are easily convinced what to believe.

What matters are viewing figures, that is why the tv show was made primarily and to also prop up UBB, DB does have quite a tv following and I expect it to do well in the overnights.

I watched the show completely and did not feel entertained, with this following on from the lottery show I would say DB is heading downhill - maybe the next show can provide damage relief. If I watch the next show it will be through curiousity only, millions more will no doubt do the same.
 
My understanding is that hypnosis is always a form of self-hypnosis - you can really only hypnotise yourself, even if it requires the 'assistance'/'guidance' of a hypnotist.

I also understand that hypnosis lies in a strange hinterland between science and belief.
Adherents like to present it as a tried and tested procedure, but it has no real scientific basis.

A bit like certain religious rituals, I suppose. :eek: :D
 
But that is the thing no one here can prove it is fake for all we know everything we have seen is genuine there is no way he can prove this is real. People on this thread are just slagging it off and have convinced themselves it has fake.

People who of been enjoying it came on here during the break and then read this then convinced themsleves it was fake. This could be genuine. I'm just watching it for entertainment.
 
my stamce is it is possible to hypnotize a suitable siubject to carry out commanRAB appearing to be a normal 'awake' person with no memory of what he has done, also to put someone into a trance from sleeping, and in both cases do something they would not have done of their own freewill. both have been done to me.
now after being hypnotized many times over a 25 year period and spending the same time researching the subject I will explain why db is not genuine.

first, the casino stunt,
he picks a total stranger on the street and using what is called an instant induction puts him into full somnambulism.
now, about 1 in 20 can achieve somnambulism so he is very lucky there.
to carry out a command such as that involves the subject to make independant decisions while remaining in a trance which I'm certain could not be done from an instant induction.
for example, take a top stage hypnotist, peter powers.
there is a you tube clip of him on a dutch tv show. he has a girl he has hypnotized in the studio and he explains to people the induction took half an hour in another room because it is not allowed by law to be shown on tv.
even then the girl does not carry out something as complicated as going to a bank and withdrawing
 
No you have to have evidence to support your theory of it not being real. Not just it is cos I say it is.

But as I have posted, it's a natural response to Poo Poo something that questions your belief system.

Funny that you are as much a part of the show as anything in it.

Quite an intelligent stunt don't you think?
