Derren Brown Live: Hero at 30,000 feet, C4 10pm
- Thread starter clover lover 3
- Start date
I happen to know of many interesting psychological tricks and mind games Derren could pull that he hasn't yet tried.
I think he's selling out personally. His shows seem to get far more hype now than they ever did and yet, they are just staged nonsense.
Fiar play to him since he has clearly found a new audience that appreciate the entertainment factor, but he has lost the intelligent acts that got him a cult following in his early days.

As if any reputable airport/airline would get involved with this.

Scroll down to the excellent analysis from MofGimmers.
If only that Croc in the field has been a shark in a tank, Derren could

But Derren is supposed to be a clever illusionist, not a social worker
I know the majority of folks on here seem to think it was set up (ie matt was in on it).
However, imagine he wasn't - and then think how you might complete the same stunt if you were Darren B. It's fairly trivial and wouldn't be particulraly hard.
Target a loner who spenRAB most of his days playing a flight sim on the computer and you would end up with a guy who would be initially reluctant to take control of a flight but would probably go for it if he though no-one else would.
I think DBs skill is in making people think he has done one thing (using stooges) when in fact he has done another thing entirely.

It seems ok so far, it's the idea of this show I'm not all too keen on. I wouldn't really want Derren Brown deciding my life isn't interesting enough and he's going to change it for me. But I'm not all too bothered since it's not about me (or maybe it is? *twilight zone doo doo doo*).
My basis for "not believing" in "you are under my command", "you will forget this happening"-style hypnosis is that it isn't proven in any scientific way. My recalling my stage hypnotism experience was to answer your point that "I'd never been hypnotised" while also explaining a possible way that the effect might work, if there is no such power; which is the default position; if there is some power, we need to test it and prove it.
Yeah, I have heard about this before. It's interesting.
What does it have to do with doing things against your will and having no memory of them?

It used to be light psychology with some genuinely intelligent trickery, like when he played all the chess champions against each other, or when he sent emails to hundreRAB of people to get one of them to win at horse racing.
It was all clever stuff and you could see how it worked.
This on the other hand, is just bullsh*t
The lottery thing was bullsh*t.
It's kind of like comparing the Matrix to it's awful sequels. You almost can't believe the same people made all three.

1. He was an actor why should he notice the car?
2. Advert said "join me Derren Brown live,Hero at 30,000 feet" Fair description.,Soon as it started it was made clear only Derren's links were live. You got all way to flight part without realising?
3.Like that was going through his mind when he thought he had to land a passenger jet?!
Some people...

If you seriously believe I would ever think that then you've misjudged just about everything I've said in this thread.
You're still deluded and gullible. So, uh...yes I guess I am. I'm a big fan of Derren's, but I know a big part of his job is to misdirect, confuse, trick and even outright lie. Nothing he said in that Q&A changed a thing for me.

The thing about any good illusionist is to be able for you to be able to get the audience to be able to suspend disbelief enough to get caught up in the illusion.
Where Derren has been going progressively wrong with each of these specials is trying to go bigger and better to the point where it's impossible to suspend disbelief.
The Emperor has no clothes anymore.

LOL Half Biscuit.. well putting it like like .. hmm!
Having slept on it I am now convinced it was about Derren showing how gullible people are- he would be the last one to believe all that nonsense about being a hero IMO - I think the major theme in the series will be about gullibility and the big expose may be about that eventually- although he has stopped bothering to do the big exposition overall, looking at last few shows.
As others have said we should all know what Derren is about by now .. and the grand theme is always about gullibility. He shows us how easy it is for many to get taken in with illusion, trickery, smoke and mirrors, even when it looks patently ridiculous.like last night.

Maybe the second show is on BBC 1 and called Crimewatch?
Tonight - we have a daring gun raid and we are searching for Mr (Not Very) Big who goes by the name of Derren and is believed to have masterminded the whole thing.
Ima Plonker, chief constable of the Noddytown police, tells us why he has invested in a new state of the art burglar alarm.
We have a report on people keeping wild animals as illegal pets.
And have you seen this white van....stolen by a passer by from a distraught children's entertainer.
Oh, and remember - don't have nightmares
- because you might wake up in the cockpit of a plane.
