Febee Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 I'll be watching it. I quite enjoy Derren Brown, I think it's really interesting to watch. I admire him alot, it takes skill to do what he does.
Sheikah Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 Bit harsh there... Harsh to who? lol. You'll get no sympathy from me! [ike]
Goafer Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 Bit harsh there... It was mainly a joke. I'll probably watch it out of curiousity.
Jimbob Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 Surely it can't be too hard to sneak into the 5 cretins who will actually watch this shit's houses and put glue on the sofas. The only reason he can't guarantee that it will work is because he isn't entirely sure that they have intelligence to use a sofa properly, so they could end up sitting somewhere other than the actual seat. True, i think some people as well will actually sit leaning towards the TV right on the edge of the seat. If they do this, it definitely won't work.
jayseven Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 You know that trick where you stand against a doorframe and push outwards with your arm as hard as you can, then when you step away your arm lifts itself? I reckon Brown'll do something similar to that. I'll be working when this (and peep show ) are on, so I hope someone here'll summarise the show for me!
Fierce_LiNk Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 I'll be watching as I'm genuinely interested to see what is going to happen. Hope there is actually some psychological process behind it and not just a trick like:"I can make you turn over your hands without touching them. Hold them out...no the other way" That would be shit. Haha, screw you! I did that trick on my Mum the other day. I felt so proud. I originally got that from Only Fools and Horses. I want to put Derren Brown in a steel cage with David Blaiiiiine, with Uri Geller as a special guest referee. I would sit on my arse quite happily and watch that on telly. Drinking tea from the head of Paul Mckenna.
Dyson Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 Alternatively you could watch it on 4od and not spoil it

Rummy Posted September 17, 2009 Posted September 17, 2009 It'd be great to watch this standing up. <3 Brainiac did something like this a few years ago with a music note at such a pitch that it would make you go to the loo there and then. It didn't work with me, so i doubt very much that i will be glued to my seat if i watch Derren Brown on Friday Brown note doesn't actually exist, or is yet to be proven to, though infrasound does and can have some interesting effects on the body/mind and perception.

Drinking tea from the head of Paul Mckenna. I think Uri and Blaine are a bit douchey, I don't mind Derren Brown when he isn't being one, mainly I get annoyed with his loyal subjects instead. Tbh though, how HARD is it to glue one to their seat? Many a time in my life I've been glued during a really good show, or a real good film or so. The real challenge for those unsure, drink a shitton of water before you sit down to watch this...do you piss yourself, or do you not?! Im especially skeptical as im pretty sure it's a broadcasting regulation that you can't attempt hypnosis on a viewer. Still, I think he's pretty great and will be watching (though the highlight of the night will clearly be the return of Peep Show) Hmm, posted in the other thread before I saw this one, but exactly what defines hypnotism in the regulations?
Beast Posted September 17, 2009 Posted September 17, 2009 Derren Brown is bollocks when he's being a prize 'thinks-he-knows-it-all' and the video on the Yahoo article is something that I reckon is possible. I'm going to watch this and see if it will work even though I doubt it. I'm sorry but if you knew you were going to predict the lottery correctly, you'd get a ticket (and he wasn't stopped for getting a ticket so he could have easily put it on) and if he never wanted the money, then he could have given it to charity or something.

It was a trick. His shows are all about showmanship (and tricks).
Febee Posted September 17, 2009 Posted September 17, 2009 I find it kinda annoying how everyone is attacking him over the whole lottery thing. Derren has always said that he's not magic or psychic, and as others have said, he's about entertaining, manipulating and tricking people and showmanship. You can't deny he's good at what he does. I also think the confidence is an important part of the act, if he didn't manage to convince people then the act wouldn't work.

It's not that we're attacking what he did. It's the fact he said he would explain how and spewed bullshit instead.
Sheikah Posted September 17, 2009 Posted September 17, 2009 It's not that we're attacking what he did. It's the fact he said he would explain how and spewed bullshit instead. Yeah, absolutely. You can do any trick you like and keep it a secret, or even explain that it was down to magic. But if you decide to say you'll reveal the secret and instead come up with some lengthy nonsense that has been factually disproven, you're just being a nuiscance. Especially if you spread the waffle out over an hour.
Dante Posted September 18, 2009 Posted September 18, 2009 Straight after his show Peep Show series six at 10.
flameboy Posted September 18, 2009 Posted September 18, 2009 right I'm sat on my favourite chair, supply of coke and snacks at hand and what the hell if by some miracle this works, theres plenty to watch afterwards on TV starting with the awesome Peep Show...
nightwolf Posted September 18, 2009 Posted September 18, 2009 I still love him, he makes me laugh and its a nice change to watching big brother. Thats for sure! ^_^
Happenstance Posted September 18, 2009 Posted September 18, 2009 I think hes brilliant, always find his shows really interesting and im enjoying tonights so far
or else you will DIE Posted September 18, 2009 Posted September 18, 2009 haha somebody gave away their shoes and socks
Rummy Posted September 18, 2009 Posted September 18, 2009 OH MY GOD I CAN'T GET OUT OF MY BED OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY-oh, no, I'm just being lazy. Anyone stuck?
nightwolf Posted September 18, 2009 Posted September 18, 2009 I wasn't exactly stuck, it was more losing the will to move, very scary 0.o, it was like having to slap myself to get up and stop being silly. Me no likey.
ReZourceman Posted September 18, 2009 Posted September 18, 2009 OH MY GOD I CAN'T GET OUT OF MY BED OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY-oh, no, I'm just being lazy. Anyone stuck? I'm not stuck.
or else you will DIE Posted September 18, 2009 Posted September 18, 2009 these flashing images of someone in a seat are really freaking me out
Nintendohnut Posted September 18, 2009 Posted September 18, 2009 I'm fine, no problem moving here. I tried, drifted off, felt really calm but nothing, sadly. Anyone else?
