Derren Brown: UNLOCK The Secret Power Of Your Mind! | E212 

What an amazing guest. Have loved this guy for years. Such a brilliant mind

Same!

I've been deeply inspired by Derren for many years, he is one of the reasons I qualified as a hypnotherapist.

I saw derren brown last year for the 6th time and met him lots of times before. So down to earth and fantastic stage shows. These interviews are getting better and better love this channel steven a real inspiration to me too!

any chance of getting brian cox on one day please, love these interviews. great work!

That’s such an amazing story !

That's wonderful 😊 Well done for what you have achieved

Well done, which books did he suggest?

What a wonderful story. Thank you for sharing.

@@ImmortalExplorer The two main ones I used and therefore only remember consisted of "You can have an amazing memory" by Dominic O'Brien (great as an audiobook if you drive a lot) and the main one was "Your Memory" by Kenneth Higbee. Bearing in mind this was 20 years ago (welp) the systems used are pretty well known now and I daresay there are more modern texts that perhaps lend themselves better to our current modern life. I think what they gave me - apart from obvious stuff like memory palaces and loci mnemonics etc - was that they forced me to come up with connections to things I wanted to remember (for example to remember that a liver function was around the transamination of amino acids I thought of a Transformer (that old kids toy) drinking a protein shake while taking a med school class) and the ability to make connections is something that has impacted other areas of life, and I personally believe that's the secret sauce these books give: the ability to think abstractly and come up with connections I would have otherwise not have thought of. That's for me, obviously - different people are very different. 🙂

O yes , very strong but no need to use it to hurt , use it for love of ALL

Truly great advice

@@millennialbuddhism2619 maybe the fbi can ask him for help for the poor and oppression of the modern hierarchy of needs.

@@lucyhanks500 The FBI will never heal citizens, thats how they make their money. Thats up to you and I, Lucy :)

@@millennialbuddhism2619 of course it is, you’ll never be able to sell crutches to people without first breaking their legs; that is quite obvious I’d of thought. On a supposedly less obvious track, is it possible to sell Hugo Boss T-shirts to citizens for £400, without first telling them their of no value as humans; ikewise why do women shop on the high street for products named after their children, their families, or themselves (consciously, or unconsciously)? Can one buy loving care, respect & regard? I’d be interested to know if a persons nature is natural or nurtured.

That's bullshit and bad for everyone.💯💨

Yes, amazing that he tells people what he will do then still does it. I thought the episode where he made the young man feel grateful about life was amazing as was the one where the guy gained consciousness, in Morocco. I can’t imagine how freaked out I’d be if that happened to me 😮

You don't always have a choice in life ......trauma etc.

@@estherlane7498 I understand but you still can choose, don't give away your power.

i was sheltered by my family and feelng a bit lost becaus of it so I understand the phrase sleepwalking through life

Hes putting on an act. Hes hardly gonna reveal how he does what he does….otherwise everyone would be doing it

Mentalism! He actually does reveal an awful lot in his early "magic" books with regards to NLP and hypnotism etc.

@@njones420 Listen i like him and i seen him live before its some act....but thats what it is, an act... very impressive none the less

Really is. I am always surprised by the contrast between him in interviews and him in shows.

@@njones420 Yes. He outright states that NLP is bullshit. And it is. Didn't stop him pretending to use it. His tricks are tricks, not skills. You could take anyone off the street, explain the trick to them, and they could do it. Mentalism is no different to stage illusiions, except for the fact that mentalists are often happy to dishonestly suggest to the audience that they're using shite like subliminal suggestion, NLP, etc and reading micro-expressions and body language, and all that garbage. They are not. Derren is not. They all use the same methods. Stooges (though they all lie about it to the audience), spotters and discrete signalling, gimmicked equipment, etc Hell, most of the audience conveniently forget that they ordered online weeks before the show, and now the "mentalist" has a bunch of email and social media accounts, and knows which seats they belong to. Deerren even tells a story in an early book - I forget which - about a time when a gimmicked dice fell apart and the electronics fell out, so hee ejust put it back inside, and the dumbass he was doing the trick for believed it was a psychological misdirection. Lol. People are so invested in believing that he has these special skills (Which he doesn't, because they don't exist) they they actually get angry at you for telling them the truth. Even though they can go read Derren's books themselves, and have their whole fantasy destroyed. He put his "mentalism" nonsense together at the last minute, when Channel 4 planned a one-off magic show with a different magician, and that fell apart for whatever reason.

me too best in the game

Transparent? Lol. He tells the audience he's reading body language and microexpressions and using subliminal suggestion and a ton of other such nonsense. That's not transparency; that is LYING! Mentalism uses NONE of those things. It's not real! Sorry! It's just not! For some reason, people really want to believe that Derren has these special skills that simply don't exist! They're tricks. They work every time, BECAUSE they are tricks. When Derren says he's "reading" people or planting ideas in someone's mind, it's no different to if an illusionis were to say that they are actually cutting a woman in half, and using magic to put her back together again. Nope. They are using a gimmicked box they didn't even design themselves. Derren is using gimmicks too. And it's not stuff he designed. It's the same old stuff mentalists have been doing since day one! He's being very dishonest and quite harmful though, by making these claims about his methods. It's a shame, because he has great hands and is a very good card magician. What he does on stage on on the TV shows, takes no skill whatsoever. It's all a dead cert from the get-go. He's a fantastic showman, but part of your mind will never be free until you can accept that everything he says about his methods, is just part of the patter. It's a lie. You could be shown how the trick works, and it would work for you too, 100% of the time.

When he gets one stranger to read the mind of another, what's the trick? Genuinely want to know!!

How do they do it? When they have someone pick say a color, a number, a word and a picture, how do they have the result prepared? For example I recently watched kid on AGT do an act where he was wearing an outfit under his suit that matched the colors that the judges each picked.@@ashscott6068

It’s a weird thing to do to constantly curate your ideal dinner table but derren always has a seat at mine too.

​@mathewfield7671 Same. He seems like wonderful conversation.

@@puddspudds5102 there’s definitely magic, it’s called black magic! Not of God!

That's entertainment.

@@krissiet4718 💯

Seek refuge from black magic in Islam. Search there’s of the sorcerous who cant posses Muslims

I have seen him live two times he blew me away on both occasions.I believe he uses various techniques to do what he does.He is an expert at reading body language working off small tells we all give off in situations which are heightened by feeling uncomfortable when participating as audience members on stage with him.He also is an expert at manipulating situations/conversations by using slight language cues such as repeating him self and using visual cues such as slight head nods when interacting with you to control the situation so that the outcome is favourable to him. He also uses some light hypnosis live on stage to make you more open to his techniques. I say all this because he used me on stage once and it felt like it was an outer body experience it seemed like he was in control of the situation and I was sort of watching what was happening from a 3rd person vantage point. It was all very strange and I felt very euphoric for some time afterwards.

Agreed and you could also be describing Steven 🙂

Cool. I was under the impression that he had retired.

Yeah he’s great. Truly has something of nobility about him. Tirelessly honest, self-critical, loving, empathetic and intelligent. Love the bloke 😊

Yeah, I'm American and discovered him in 2010, and that only happened because I stumbled onto his Mind Trick videos on RU-vid. He wasn't broadcast here.

​@@MsAliciaRLthats really a shame as he is very clever and entertaining with a wide breadth of work and interests. I have had the pleasure of attending a couple of his live shows. Amazing stuff 😁

😂 Hope you enjoy this episode

@@TheDiaryOfACEO I of course, as always, will 🙏🏼 (whilst patiently awaiting an invite to the rave 🙌🏼🪩)

amazing,i am kinda in a similar situation,how did you handle it?

@@peterwilliams6361 well not the orthodox way but i was referred by a friend to a spiritual adviser and healer

@@DavidVelasquez9 please how can i get in touch with the spiritual adviser?

@@peterwilliams6361 her name is SHELLY RENEE WHITE ,and she is a great spiritual adviser as well as caster

you can look her name up online and you will find all you need.

Wow what an amazing reply congratulation on your success and the amazing changes that are happening in your life.

I've seen 2 of his shows and I found his show Miracle really changed my approach to life. I was in tears at the end and the show still hung around my mind months later.

Awesome testimony, thank you 🙏 for sharing 🕊️🤗

This!!! Absolute nail on the head 👏🏼 10/10 podcasts and what a guest on this one jheeeez 🐐 Absolutely LOVE Derren Brown he is a geniusss and to hear him talking in this podcast was amazing. Smashed it!

@@leehasty. this comment reminds me how frustrated i was when derren was on rogan. big fan of both of them, but having been obsessed for many years with watching everything derren ever made over and over and showing everyone who'd listen, was quite annoying to see how little rogan actually knew about him when he had him on, to the point where i was quite curious how he wound up on there in the first place if it wasn't rogan being super interested in his stuff that was the reason behind the invite

Your comment mirrors my sentiment everytime watching or listening to any of Steven's podcasts, well said, we are so lucky ❤️ I'm grateful, intrigued and inspired while being educated

Same , i swear

......

Same ha!

ORR?

Awe ??

@@StephShuttleworth Awwweee???

As in ‘in awe of…’

Who?

@@1337murk Autocorrect changes his name to Darren 🙄

@@jennybrockartist Yet we have the ability to proof read before posting, or is that too much effort?

​@Benj You certainly didn't reread your comments. Otherwise you'd find yourself being unnecessarily harsh to a stranger making a mistake.

@@ingec1736 That wasn't harsh.

......

Which book?

Tricks of the mind@@seascs

He simply wasn't broadcast here. I discovered him in 2010, and that's only because I accidentally stumbled on a Mind Control video on RU-vid

I suggest you watch his TV shows as they are mind blowing. He is a genius! I'm sure you'll find it inspiring.

His books are great, would definitely recommend reading them:)

RU-vid premium set up in Turkey is 1.50 a month

😂enjoy the ep!

So, Derren inadvertently helped you with your drug situation! It slipped your mind because you were distracted by something else that had real meaning for you and your family in the moment.

Just for future knowledge, entertainers are not a good source of advice for mental or physical health. Remember that even though he seems secure with his philosophy, he's still a magician, not a mental health professional. I do hope you are doing well.

Love that! Thanks Mario, hope you enjoy this episode

Yes and the interviewer doesn’t interrupt Derren. Excellent interview. 😊

Wow, 😎 kewl he's inspired you !

This statement is basically the truth, until some one proves me wrong 😊, and then that's my truth until, until some one... you get the idea... (same with what Derren brown is saying) or think of it this way newton is a genius so is Einstein, but like newton said standing on the shoulder of giants building on what your truth is and looking to solve what still doesn't explain one thing and the result might even change even everything know... do this till you die + eat healthy + be healthy (sport) + do what you want after considering risks and why you want to based on your morals and you know (be a vegan,driving a car, being the best curling player that ever existed or a monk or the greatest porn star you get the idea....) ok ...... I can't think of anything else smart to say, plus I've just asked myself why im writing this ?......... can you imagine being my parents lol
