There's No Such Thing As Luck? | DOUBLE EPISODE | Derren Brown 

Its a hell of TripAdvisor review no doubt

well what can i say. i have a place to move to now

sounds like my kinda place

I've been trying to get a wife here for years, definitely high influx of lesbians. 56 years not a single taker.

@@coffeshop87 that is telling us... something. im just not sure what. but i can guess it has to do with you

I cried, lol my goodness wow. Something about that really got me.

You are right that he did but I don't actually think her credibility had really come under any real or serious scrutiny back whenever this program was made.

I once.produced her on home shopping telly as she had her own range of jewellery with us, normally my job is to tell the presenter product information, co trol the pricing strategy and give the presenter the names of the people calling in to buy. I refused to give her any names as I said she should have known them without me shouting them out if she is psychic, the head of production gave me a right bollocki g as she refused to come on air again lol

@@edmckay8647 what I have never understood myself with people who are supposedly able to connect with the dead is why are the messages never clear? I will give you an example: "I'm getting a Jenny or a Jill?" I just find it EXTREMELY convenient that information they are pertaining to get is never crystal clear. It's worded in such a way that leaves it open for the person they are talking to to run with and fill in the gaps themselves. I mean let's be honest its all BULLSHIT anyway and you know NO ONE can talk to the dead but I don't understand why no one ever calls them out on it either.

To be fair though, it's not just skill Derren has. Most of these things he sets up require an ungodly amount of preparation before they even stand a chance of working. And they don't always work on everyone. I guarantee he probably has a pretty high percentage of people who don't "fall for it" and they just get cut out of the video. Saying that though I love Derren and think his stuff is amazing

@@benturner3458 thats true but then its back to Wayne in the first episode. If you want to be lucky you are more likely to be. If you want to "fall for it" then you are open minded and a much more susceptible subject that will no doubt have great results.

@@5RustyBin I think they say that between 10 and 20% of the population are suggestible enough to be viable candidates for hypnosis. I think it has a lot to do with the ability to be put into a trance state, and lots of us just can't relax enough to let it happen- we also aren't as easily influenced or suggestible and again I believe that is sort of the bedrock that these sort of techniques are built on. If you can't be put 'under' then nothing is going to work (I believe, though don't quote me on that 😂, it's been a while since I've read up on it. Though it is fascinating) Cheers for the reply mate

Then he became a gambling addict and lost everything. His house, wife and all. 😿

🤦‍♂️😂

He would always have ribs... At last he wouldn't starve

@@7Lace77damnn 😬how did you find this out ?

He was also hit by a car some years back and killed.

What was the trick? How did Derren make sure a 4 came up?

magnetic dice @@Trollerolf

It's easy to load trick dice

I would agree that 4 didn’t seem natural the whole roll didn’t.

@@SpiritualAwakening1989 The roll was normal, but of course it's how the die stops dead in the bowl that reveals the trick. Aside from that, there was no obvious number difference between the shows of hands for 3, 4 and 5, but Derren made it seem like half the room had put their hand up for 4.

He misleads too, just in different ways.

​@@Htracand he always explains the power of suggestion

Bravo kind Sir. Only simple minded people would believe that this situation was real. Saying that... Knowing that he will win the money, I was cheering for him, guy looked like a decent human

I thought so, too, yet the suspense held me in a tight grip. I don't believe in Magic, but if there was a true mage anywhere, it'd be a funny sceptic, I'm sure.

I think that if he hadn't have rolled a four, derren brown would have somehow spun it into a lucky way to make it sound like he was still lucky.

@@TheOfficialNathanMacLeod I'd say that would be harder to do than anything else.

Magnet under the dish was powered on and the dice was a stooge.

Well it was a trick made for TV, it was through design he won, not luck. The artifice of the multiple rolls are there to make you think it's random. There's a thousand and one ways to fake it, relying on chance isn't one.

@@lemon_j22 Do you know he didn't. Us Yorkshiremen give generously when we can, but don't see the need to advertise it. After over 50 years knowing people like that and towns like that, he would spend the money locally. Derron changed nothing, this is a TV show, not reality. He doesn't have magical powers, he's is a conjuror. He made more money out of the town than he gave.

@@lemon_j22 Probably not, the impact from most TV stunts don't resonate for decades. Do you think he's so stupid he needs a white saviour from the home counties to tell him his secret power like a fairy story? How patronising, you should be ashamed of yourself.

well, he is dead now after being hit by a car :( he really was unlucky

Definitely should have given the £1000 ​@@lemon_j22

I'm gonna start using classical song names as my passwords. Ain't noone guessing/cracking that

May his soul rip

didnt know that. Wow, the power of the mind hey

Nocebo is even more effective. Maybe, because we tend toward the negative.

His young daughter looked very miserable. Couldn't even crack a smile.

It was a trick and a treat ;-)

oh no i think he did roll a 4... darren swapped the die for a trick one for that roll. he never would have taken his money, he was always going to win

I think he did that a few times. He's given her ample opportunity to prove her abilities, but she keeps turning it down. I guess some people are just afraid of success, but still willing to charge hundreds of dollars for their services that they are unwilling to prove the validity of.

@@steakknives yeah, I've seen that he has mentioned / has shown Sally Morgan few times. I'm from Finland and even here we have had few stories about Sally Morgan. I know this is maybe like almost 10 years old episode but I hope Derren keeps it up. About all these con people.

He didn't humiliate Sally, Gordon Ramsey made himself cry

That girl already knew how to play piano right We're supposed to just believe Derren when he tells us she couldn't?

​@@Sock1122did u watch the full show? He made her forget she'd ever played. That was the point

It's edited. You dont know what suggestions Derren has pushed onto his victims before that segment

Who’s Darren?

​@jackcooper3307 don't be intentionally stupid. He obviously misspelled Derren or it autocorrected to Darren. Stop watching your nice guy lectures, you've turned into a prick.

@@jackcooper3307 Now now!!

Same although is basically saying gambling things you can't afford to lose is good....

Turns out he was jinxed after all

You really believe his life savings was £1000?

@@Htrac I totally believe it, when millions of us live hand to mouth and don't even have life savings. Most of the working and lower middle class are a pay check away from homelessness. If that's unbelievable for you, you're an incredibly privileged person.

@@zeldagoblin There is 0% chance his life savings were £1000.

its called an ambigram. Features in the Dan Brown book/movie Angels and Demons. There are some amazing ones around.

Never use big words when small ones are equally proficient

​@@TheKillingJoker1980 a vast vocabulary increases your ability to logically think and communicate with nuance just like learning a forrein language might. Why should you simplificate your thinking and communication? You dont think people are so thik thev can not understand words if they are not too common? Do you think they are not able to ask what a word means if it is new to them? Well, if youre being so afraid to admit you don't know everything, thats the only way one could stagnate to the point of voluntary ignorance because of silly cowardice or pride? No sane person would want to just pretend to know something they know they don't get at all. That would torment their mind. Its extreme stupidity to pretend to know instead of admitting you dont know. When you can at any time begin to ask, read about to learn and to observe aswell as discuss and even experiemet, to see if you have learned to find out where you are. It only takes time. There is no shame in giving complicate explanations to communicate complicate and novel ideas to one that is interested in morre than just learning the shallow words to utter in similar opportunities just to be able to manipulate others ignorant about the subject to see your performance as you knowing something you don't really understand, Complex issues need nuance, so the whole issue is not misunderstood by the learning party because of over simplification leading to passing on useless but convincing data, but creating false facts that lead to distorted opinions, actions with un intented aftermath We got government media religious cults and cultural misinformation for you if you want just answers that can not be logically questioned so trying to follow the daya will make you un easy in your safe fairy realm. If thats too scary you brobably want just easy explanations not reasons why you are fed them.

@@KeijjoHammas-bw9ep tl;dr

Women telling me to get lost over the years is one hell of a suggestion 😂

Buddhism 101

Was not expecting him to say that was so funny 🤣🤣

Not his finest work, but I did enjoy his varied style

Same. Emotional watching him gamble his life savings...

short hand is legit impressive

Don't bs me, is this real?

Nasty. That's effed up, dude.

​@@steakknivesQuick Google search shows the top result of the article in the aforementioned local paper (Halifax Courier) 😢

@@steakknives Google it. yes, it is unfortunately true

That would teach him not to rub the lucky dog...

No, but I also chose 4 to be the lucky Dice.

Wayne was killed by a car near his home in 2018 his name is Wayne Stansfield. Accident in the Halifax road near his home. He really was unlucky 😢

@@phoenixrising5088 omg this is really sad. I done a quick Google search as I wasn't sure if it was a joke or not. Tragic 😥

Most pagans i know of are batshit tbf

He's a comedy legend

Yeah I’m still wondering about that one

These mind games only work on a very few select number of people, usually those easily manipulated and susceptible and he sifts them out from hundreds of candidates

Unreal

He had three chances to roll a 4. He did on the third roll.

No he had 1 chance to roll a 4. That chance had to be the 3rd roll. The 2 rolls before didnt count​@phoenixrising5088

Wayne's luck ran out in 2018 as he was killed on the road by a Car on the Halifax road near his home. Very sad 😢 Wayne Stansfield.

😂

Just a loaded dice that uses magnets to set the number

That would be shorthand I thing.

Stuff? Like luck? Like being a happier person?

I really noticed that too.
