'Scammer' Shows His Card Tricks: Trick Of The Mind | FULL EPISODE | Derren Brown 

Nothing wrong with getting solace from your spirituality even if you later decide it's not factually right. Look into Derren's writing on stoicism for other avenues to contentment.

Atheist or not, I don’t think Derren is against religion or spiritualism as a whole. He does however have a huge problem with people like certain “faith” or “prosperity” preachers that prey on people in the name of Jesus, as do I. I think there is nothing more despicable. I’m a Christian and I love Derren and what he does. To each there own, I just think Jesus/God/The Universe is all about LOVE and I hate when people talk down to or rip people off in the name of God. Just my 2 cents, hope you guys are having a good year so far, much love to Derren and everyone that enjoys the astounding brain and platform he has! Nothing like a good ole MIND TRICK!!!!

What's sad is that theists will claim that you are "Angry at God!" They aren't capable of understanding the truth. It will simply NEVER occur to them that you might actually be angry at yourself; angry at yourself for having been gullible. Angry for being so gullible for so long. Seeing them still believing in their vacuous nonsense, it reminds us of how gullible we used to be and this makes us angry at ourselves. They sense this anger and assume that you're angry at their imaginary friend 'God,' because the reality of it all just never occurs to them...

@@oweneastwood3445 true, but his demonstrations don't debunk spirituality. You can still research and find that not only religions are debunked (thankfully so), but that (thankfully) Material Atheism has been debunked too.

Spirituality exists, God probably doesn't. There's a difference

XD Fr! 💀💀🤝😅😂He does hypnotherapy so well that he manages to ask for phones, watches, water bottles, etc. and walks away with them. Lolol. He even did it twice to a guy that came back to get them. Lolol

@@ReligionAndMaterialismDebunked This is NLP, not hypnotherapy.

The card one at the beginning is the o my one I’m unsure of. I have my ideas but they are just that… ideas. Does anyone know how that illusion is performed?

Derren, not Darren.

@@apollosun2913 thanks, typo

Fingering? 😂

Lol no

Ideomotor phenomenon. You already have one, and your friends do too! ;)

Jonathan Ross is slim and handsome so this wasn't recorded yesterday.

RU-vid doesn't want people to know how suggestible they are

These are repeats.

Let us say that you are Derren Brown and Ross and his missus are in on it. What would be the easiest way to accomplish that effect?

What about them flipping a single card themselves? How did the person under the table remove those? At first I thought you were right until I remembered that second part

@@arloking irehman (I think that’s right) on RU-vid solves magic tricks from Penn and Teller’s show. He figures out what they did. He unpacks about 1 trick a week. The mechanisms are complex and the slight of hand is precise. Watch his videos and you’ll get the hang of what is possible.

@@arloking Remember how Derren handed something to the strangers in the street? He talked to them, and handed them something. He basically loaded their brain’s attention. On 2 things: talking and handling the Water bottle. What he did in the card trick is he loaded them up with talking, and had them also use their hands with the cards. That overloads their brains. Remember the gorilla walking through the people passing balls video? (Again. I’m not quite sure of the exact experiment.) The viewers were to keep track of a ball being passed around. So the viewers were give an active task. Lots of people onscreen. Lots of motion. After the video ends, instead of asking about the task, they ask you if you saw the gorilla walking through the middle of the people. And the viewer didn’t. They ask you to rewind the video and watch now for the gorilla. And it was there all along! But because your mind was on another task, you failed to register there was a gorilla. Until it mattered. Then you couldn’t unsee it. Same thing applies here. It might be the person under the table can take the deck out of their hands, and sort it and return it. Attention to one area can create blind spots in other areas.

You're wrong. There is no one under the table.

@@benjaminfranklin4149 And you know there is no one under the table by looking under the tablecloth? 😉 I can be wrong, but you also can be wrong too. The solution could be something neither of us thought of.

That's not how he did it. Dantalion Jones explains it in one of his books: Mind Control101, I think.

Nah, well unless you just use hypnotism as a synonym for being suggestible. It's about distraction and interrupting people's autopilot train of thought. There are gangs that do this on the streets of Paris, Rome, and as he mentioned, Russia.

Why talk before you know?

@@thememaster7 What do you mean?

I think the same thing. It seems like he has done pre-show work, as it's called, and the last one was deliberate. Derren blew me away when I saw his first series. Since then I've worked out quite a few of his tricks, and a lot of what appears to be mentalism is just plain old magic, and requires no reading of people, or persuasion etc. Some of his magic uses editing and even camera tricks, which is frowned upon by some magicians.
