45:37 "Ben don't worry we're going to get your 5 grand back, okay? Don't worry" .... "Ben, we're just going to need another 5 grand, but the system works. You just going to have to trust us." ... "Okay, Ben. We're down 10 grand now. But just give us another 3 grand. Come on Ben, our number is going to hit. I can just feel it. Ben? Ben?
I don't know about everyone else in the comments, but the fact Derren got 5k out of Ben's bank and he didn't notice between the event happening and the show suggests he could probably afford to lose 5k anyway. Christ if £5 is missing from my account I notice it.
Yep! My bank would've been calling to assess all those overdraft fees! I feel like Brown my have intentionally chose the wrong number. I felt that was when he tried it with the Lottery. ...show abruptly ends. Hopefully the money was returned. Guess we will never know.
@@missengineer2782 Same here. In comparison to his more recent shows which are more remarkable , this was pretty lame. Though I guess it’s his early shows. But this to me was staged. (The motorway ‘trick’ is possible, but it would take an incredible amount of knowledge and practice which I doubt he did with such a short time period for a one off show piece for Tim Westwood 😆) For one the guy who’s money was stolen seemed extremely wooden in his acting. Watching an evening show (probably aired at 9pm) and just so happens to be in a freshly ironed shirt, jeans and shoes (not something a man would wear around the house and definitely not while relaxing to watch a show he was ‘hypnotised’ to watch - so no ‘maybe he was going out’. Also any money won would of had to be returned on the basis of carrying such cameras. Maybe I’m thinking too much into it, but he was well prepared (or purposely), to NOT hit the winning number to play into the grander scheme of his image towards the public audience as he was still growing in reputation, and to give a more trusting awe of genuineness in all he will do upcoming. No doubt they would work and why that he set it all up just for such an anti climax (albeit funny) if it wasn’t for a the bigger picture.
@@Allegro_Giusto Excellent points. This was not a legit casino. I work in the industry & have travelled to dozens (maybe 100's) of casinos. Not even close to a proper roulette setup, no pit boss or house observer present, & the dealers chip tills were all kinds of amatuer & out of wack. This ain't a main pit at a big casino, nor a high roller lounge. It was a sketchy underground dive or.... it was fake.
HAHAHAHAHAHA 😅 This is what I was thinking, just in a less witty fashion. I was thinking, now everyone who knows Ben knows he has that kind of money he wouldn't notice missing AND he's extremely suggestible 😬
As a person who went through a bout of gambling addiction, mostly blackjack and roullette, I can totally appreciate what Derren did here. No matter how good you are, gambling is gambling. You can lose 5k just like that, confidence means nothing.
I'm glad Derren did this, it's very smart indeed. He won even though you'd think he lost. He's basically made people think twice about gambling and put people off rather than win once and encourage or promote gambling. The audience wants him to win and it'll be great, losing is the reality of life gambling. Well done Derren.
Thing i love about Derren, he's honest and it wasn't all set up. Next to 8 was amazing in itself. If he had of spread bet the 4 numbs around his prediction and kept winning he'd be thrown out after 5 spins!
@@GWOAT I am 99% sure it was faked. Practically everything Derren does is fake and he admits it. Elsewhere in this thread yesterday I posted where there is a supposed "camera glitch" where it actually goes black allowing him to splice in recorded footage. He faked it, in my view because he wanted to show the country the true casino experience, going in prepared to win, expecting to win, and coming out a loser. All he had to do was hire a casino when they had shut and have "extras" turn up and record it all without sound. They could add the sound using sound effects later in the studio. I am just amazed some actually think it was "real" as shown. Even Derren admitted at the beginning it uses magic tricks misdirection and showmanship It was essentially Derren doing an "anti gambling" advert.
Not A Bot no I didn’t see him pal where was he in the truck with Ben and what was the deal with the guy standing at the side of the truck with the £100,000 big cheque
@@BrianPletcher1 He would have done if the matchbox had ended up with Richard. Then he would have revealed what was written on the note and said some guff about how it might seem like lucky people always win, but we can change our luck by being positive or whatever, and then given the £20 to her. There was no psychology involved in that trick at all, no prediction and no influence (just like everything else he does), it was always going to work out no matter who ended up with the money.
@@BrianPletcher1 He tried to - there were a few pushes for the bloke to end up with the £20 and when they didn't work he gave them the extra 10 seconds to switch. He was obviously hoping it would go the other way but you can't guarantee everything.
To be fair -- if someone just told me they'd 'stolen' five grand from me (AND that I was on TV) I'd be sweating and shitting myself (i.e walking that way) too!
Bruh he literally gets a call from derren nbrown and told he’s on national tv, and not only is he on he already has a camera pointed at him through his window, so he suddenly realizes he’s on tv with no time to prepare... begins to realize he’s the one who is missing 5k, and that it’s now showtime for him with everyone watching
Well, if I discovered a cameraman was filming me through my window, while being called to say that 5K had been stolen from my account - the sweat would be blasting out of my armpits. Panic.
Which one, Ben or the girl he called a loser? I think either one would feel shitty. The latter for obvious reasons and the former because now everyone knows he can be duped out of £5k and not even realize it. I know I'd feel stupid and people would never let you live that down!
I went to see Showman live in 2021 and Derren wiped five seconds of my memory. 100% believe he got Ben to give him 5K and made him forget he ever had it
nope, he did this as a stunt to show how you cant win the casino, and how it really can be damaging as its all rigged against you, he did a lovely interview about it on ITV I think
ROFLMAO!! I swear Derrin, you are awesome. I believe had you split the money into thirds, you would have won two of the throws. Kudos to you for showing an honest ending.
Point 1 - You can't hypnotise people like that and you can't make them do things that they wouldn't normally do (like give away significant sums of money). Point 2 - Derren "losing" is supposed to be the focal point here and we're supposed to remember that. It's meant to take our focus off how unbelievable it is that he can randomly hypnotise people to do... whatever! Point 3 - Derren's camera shows a blackjack dealer who handles chips and then at the end, doesn't show that his hands are empty (ie: he hasn't stolen any chips for himself) by turning his palms upwards. This is not a real casino. So, everyone then thinks this is "real," because if it were staged, Derren would obviously have won, right? But it IS staged and it's staged to make us believe that ALL of it is real and by "ALL of it," I'm really only talking about the hypnosis part. If we accept that all of it is real, then we've accepted the hypnosis bull-poop part as real as well, and that's the whole purpose of this show/ episode. Once Derren has established his super-powers of hypnosis in this manner, then following episodes that use this bull-poop, fantasy twaddle will be accepted as genuine too, because we all remember that time when Derren lost $5,000- of someone else's money, right? In other words, the whole point of this episode is to prime us to believe that hypnosis can do things that it can't really do. Everything else is misdirection, reinforcement and entertainment. That being said, this was fantastically entertaining and Derren Brown is a master magician and a true showman. I hope to continue to see more wonderfully entertaining episodes like this one. nb: Even if I knew nothing about hypnosis, I know a good deal about what people will do for money. I've been to a lot of casino's around the world and the one thing they seem to have in common is that casino's everywhere require their employes to show their palms (palms UP) to the overhead cameras after distributing chips. ESPECIALLY when handling high denomination chips like the $500- ones Derren requested. This is required of them so that the casino can know that they are not palming chips. At 44:21, in the top right hand part of the screen, we can see the "dealer" counting out the chips and passing them to Derren. His hands are visible at all times and at no point does he turn his palms upwards. This alone tells me that they are not in a real casino. Combining that with what I know about hypnosis, led me to the conclusion written above.
This was Derren's worst show ever, not because he failed but because he called someone a loser who he recognized as having a low self-esteem and then gave those negative feelings affirmation by setting her up to lose. I can't believe he did that... There's no sugar coating it. That didn't in any way help her change her attitude. He just bullied her on national television. I usually respect what he does but that was some cocky, cold-hearted bullshit. And he always talks about how much he was bullied and called names when he was a kid... Shameful!!!
The reason he did that was because it was required by the trick. No matter who ended up with the £20, Derren was always going to claim that's how it was supposed to go. When Maz ended up with the £20 the trick ends with the winner winning and the loser losing, but if Richard had ended up with the money then he would have finished the trick by telling Maz that she's not really a loser, she just has to think positively and good things will happen, and then she would have ended up with the £20. Being mean to her was setting the audience up to feel really good about the ending if Richard had ended up with the right matchbox.
No, there's no reason to sugarcoat it. Like he said, take risks and you gain rewards more often than those who don't. The opportunities themselves become events that you are lucky to have. Where the adverse point of view sees a burden to be avoided. How nice would he be to reinforce the idea that having a crap attitude pays off as often as a positive attitude?
Thank you, that really bothered me. I'm glad I wasn't the only one trying to figure out the manipulation behind that. I've never heard him say that, let alone repeatedly, and he's VERY anti-religious so there was some reason eh?
Inner Peace I don’t know if you’d like to know five months later, but the spray paint can is ... *blowing* on him... there’s probably more layers I’m not getting, but it’s a dirty joke 😂
"using physics to predict where the ball will land" my ass. total bullshit. also for the retards saying he missed on purpose, that was probably the 50th take.
This world is such a better place with Derren Brown in it. You are the 1 in a billion Derren. You are a mere mortal and yet you achieve in reality what is mere mortals dream about. You rock!
You can tell the age of this story by the shakiness of the 'sleeve cam', also the size of it. Action cameras have improved so much in the years since this was made.
Right?! And the fact he had to call him on the land line! Not to mention him walking down a dark street without a smartphone flashlight at hand. Ain't nobody with that kind of money kicking around that doesn't have a phone on them now 😂
@ 20.03 You didnt hear the speed on the car, you just assumed that all cars will slow down when they see a police. Then you counted down from 52 and read the policeman when you had counted down to the right number. (49)
There's no way that was a real casino. The camera work was designed to obscure the fact but it was still obvious. The sound design was so fake. Obviously a very small room.
Even in 2021, there is still no equivoqlent to Derren Brown! Multiple people have tried, all ended up OUT of the race! Still the number one master in his field! 👍🏻👍🏻
I was wondering today whether different countries have their own version of Derren and what sparked that thinking was the curiosity as to whether a Derren is tuned into British cultural mindset specifically or his ways can work with people from somewhere completely different...
@@ChrisTian-uw9tq Some things are not possible outside of the English language, but 90% of what Derren does would easily translate. His methods would work for people in different countries as well as in the UK. There are Mentalists all over the world, who work in many different languages, but I'd happily say that globally, Derren is the gold standard for this generation. I don't think many of his peers would argue that either.
@@SupernovaSymie I don't dispute it either :) Thanks for your thoughts shared ;) Has me consider that with that train of thought, what about those Derren's out there who aren't as public... what they use these skills for and to which degree play influence to broader audiences unaware... His episode with the spirit of the dead contact dude, Joe... just begs to think what is going on out there. I came across this video on YT where I was certain the guy was utilizing some of these techniques to promote himself, quite the channel of tripe he had behind him. Aaron Doughty I believe it was... rather freaked me out...
@@ChrisTian-uw9tq Well history tells us that these and many other techniques were used to swindle way before they were used to entertain. In fact, even today, I turn on one of the many 'lifestyle' channels and watch people using the same skills that Derren has mastered to con, trick and manipulate people and positioned in good faith. Derren is a master at what he does, there's nobody better. But Derren is, has always been and will always be, an entertainer. One of the best.
I don't like that matchbox trick, he knew the 'confident' guy wouldn't switch, he kept saying confident to make that guy feel like he doesn't have to switch, then by making the comment "copying...can't make own decisions" to the more timid lady (which in itself I thought was a mean trick to play) he guaranteed she would switch at least once and then not change her mind because she wanted to prove she could make her mind and have confidence to stick with it. Really weak trick toying with a self conscious persons emotional responses.
Did anyone else notice how many attendess were wearing red and black? The first girl, the "Loser" girl. Then, a lovely Black woman, short hair, wearing a string of pearls as well as red and black. 3/4 of the way through, D Brown is facing audience and over his left shoulder, a 20 something man, also wearing red and black. Mr Brown never, ever has any element "by chance".
I think there would be some legal problems if he wins 175k. Casinos have some crazy rules and they didn't want to win because of that. Derren missed it on purpose 100% sure. Plus I'm not convinced he made this bet live. Could be pre-recorded also. They can't risk it being live if casino security spots those cameras or there is some technical problems.
Yes! Too risky for Derren to actually place the bet, film it, win and then put it on air. The casino management would soon work out what had happened and Derren would have been banned from ALL casinos in Europe. Casinos in the USA ban players for 'counting cards' and winning "too much" at Black Jack.
Derren stated, at the start of one of his televised shows - maybe about luck? - that he has been banned from many Casinos in the UK. He used to "sneak" into them, beginning at age 16, and use his astounding memory (techniques), ability to 'read' people, and finely honed card counting skills to win games like Black Jack. It'd be interesting to know what happened to cause many UK Casinos to ban Derren from their premises!
This is one of the older Vegas scams, which explains why it would be carried out in europe seeing as the act is probably more known and illegal in the us. but if he had bet a bit wider over a period he would have walked away rich or busted.
an irish judge ruled no casino or betting shop is obliged to pay out anything..even if you win 1000 after losing 5000 they dont have to pay!! it happened in a casino in PJISBOROUGH DUBLIN IRELAND...he found a fault in the machine...bullshit...
First, Ben is way too easy. I would have been angry at someone who stole from me regardless. Only I decide when, where and how much I gamble. I was taught anout gambling at a young age. There is no short cut. The best you can do is don't gamble with bill money ever. Don't lose more than you allow yourself to lose. Leave shortly after a large win. Follow gambling rules. And, that is the most boring casino I've ever seen. It was more like a funeral.
Hi Ben are you are there ? Ben: looks directly at the camera then realises and looks away. Derren: look outside Ben Weve got a camera man outside. Ben: oh yeah I see him now 🤣🤣
Not his best show. My guess is the "casino" was fake. It was supposed to be more suspenseful, but Ben wasn't a compelling enough person. The girl with the spray paint would have been more compelling, and as someone else mentioned calling the one girl a loser and not allowing her to win wasn't goo energy for the show, either.
Dunno bout the mic issue but I know that will the full version ends the same its a couple seconds longer and I remember there being something on the vans or something like that which hinted that everything happened as planned, might neccesarily been the vans might of been a sign or something but I remember there was definetly something
So this was the last of the experiments, all making people better than they were. This one was meant to fail, showing the public you can never win at gambling. Not even when you have superpowers. Still making people better, see?
Everything Derren does is fake... I'm not sure about the hypnotism but the way he works is lying through his teeth about how he does things to make you think about the wrong things. All of them are magic trick, the speed/angle calculation thing is proper bullcrap.
Fun fact , Derren Brown down this over 30 time's with different people and is only showing the one he got the closest with. I know how your little tricks are done Derren :)
Much respect for showing the failures as well as success. He was only one off. A split between 2 or 3 numbers would be a better gamble. And still yield good profit.
Starts off with Derren sat in a TV trailer. Outside the guy's place are two TV trailers. He has to ignore the first and enter the second. What's in the first one if not Derren sat providing live commentary? The doors on the back were closed on that one too, to hide what's inside. You don't take two to a site for shooting if you don't use both OBUs (Outside broadcast units). There were no satellite dishes visible outside the vans, so how did they receive the 'live' feed from /mainland Europe'? 25:40 "I can hear you but I can't see you' then at 25:48 he responds to a visual cue 'There you go, so...' when Ben turns to see the open doors, and Derren seems to catch himself. C4 doesn't usually broadcast stuff that has it's gut drop on the floor. What was Derren really up to? Retiring to a quieter existence after this so goes out by letting people feel they shouldn't follow him or believe in him? Derren?
Bitcoin has crashed. The main reason the crypto currency failed was due to transaction costs to complete a transaction with the currency. The idea is great, but needing miners to complete transactions was an inherent flaw. Gold or silver has always been and always will be your safest bet with protecting your wealth from inflation.
Mr Brown, I'm a big fan of yours. I realize your comments during the 20 pound trick were supposed to be funny, but your treatment of the woman came across as bullying. It was uncomfortable to watch and overshadowed the effect of your trick.
Man already knew he was getting the call, he was sweating before he even got the phone call. Look at his shirt...who does that just sitting at home on the couch?
House always wins. Gambling's a mugs game. Interesting that every ad in the video was for an online casino. I've seen people lose an entire weeks wages an hour after they got paid in the bookies.
I feel sure he deliberately failed this for two reasons 1) as someone else pointed out in the comment section, he was called a fraud for being right all the time so he fucked this one up 2) he used a casino on purpose to give the message that gambling is always risky, even magic can't guarantee you'll win.
Not sure if this is well known but he released a book a while before this was aired and wrote, in very small print the actual correct number the ball fell on, a wonderful Easter egg!
Do you think Derren would have gotten that wrong? It's called How to take down a casino. He took them down and that was fake footage. I'm onto you Mr B. 😀😀😀
