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

I completely agree, but I do think it leaves Derren in the clear as regarRAB the stooge disclaimer, and being able to write what he did on his blog without it being an out-and-out fib.

(I also stress again that I haven't actually seen Hero yet, I'm just talking generally based on previous shows)
 
I understood that to be an invitation to everyone watching to change their lives.

A little ashamed to admit this but I took a risk today based on what I'd seen last night. Something about what DB was saying regarding choices and the past doesn't matter has really stuck in my mind. He should release a self help book.
 
Woah bramly dude, hold up.

Even if you are telling the truth, I still can't see anywhere in your story/stories (I'm not sure if it's one story or several different ones) where you've been hypnotised. A girl muttered and gave you a funny look in a pub, your bedroom door handle was tried during the night, a guy spoke to you on a coach and you felt sleepy, you had to share a cabin with a guy on a ferry and there was a blonde Swedish woman there. And yet somewhere in each of these you've kind of vaguely hinted at hypnotism. You gonna at least join the dots before you leave?
 
I used to love Derrens shows because they involved a bit of light psychology, maths, mind tricks etc... and if you look at some of his earlier shows, he did use a more credible view of psychology than he currently seems to employ.

Of course, I always knew a lot of it was showmanship, but I noticed he started using that term a lot more recently, and now it seems his shows are all 100% showmanship and the original draw of intelligence and psychology has vanished without a trace!
 
this stunt was totally fake using a stooge acting the part in the same way stooge ben acted in the casino stunt. another fake reality tv show.
I do believe hypnotism is real having been hypnotized myself several times with complete amnesia. the trouble is someone in a somnambulistic trance looks almost like an 'awake' person to anybody who cannot spot the sigms.
the obvious sign is a blank expression on the subjects face.
to me, seeing matts expression it was just put on, not genuine.
tv companies have no integrity, what about ghosthunters, psychic private eyes?
all they think of is viewing figures.
 
Agree totally with this.

I don't for a minute think that Derren uses stooges very much but he does use them. Any admission of this would have course give people a simple answer for everything which is why he couldn't for one minute even half admit to it because all the other clever tricks he uses would be wasted with people shouting stooge at everything they don't understand.
 
You need to spend some years learning to read.
I was referring to the posters claim he used stooges in his stage show. You want to bet 45 years experience on that one?



See above.

You didnt even bother looking at what I wrote yet you claim I dont know half the things! Funny.
