[lol] Good ol' Derren Brown, i much prefer him to David Blaine...aparently it is possible to do what Derren Brown does. Its all about sending the person into a trance like him said and then influence that person

Ok, i don't have time to download this, because i'm on a dial up connection at the moment, But is this Derren Brown? If it is, that guy is amazing. I've seen him live here in the uk and, believe me, it's real. Some people are far too sceptical about things.

Basically, he's not a magician but i psycho-analyist and practitioner, using skills he's developed to manipulate decisions and actions. I've seen him do it and one of my good friends is also practising it. He does the simple "was this your card?" trick, without a real deck of cards i.e. you have to visualise the actions rather than physically perform them. Just amazing to watch.

Edit ^ Good Ol' Edge ^

Dude, you need to watch your language, and plus we all know that you want to be in one...

Real, I could really have done without the language in it (and that goes for your language too, CreePr) although I am sure in the same situation I would have issues as well ... but that video was awesome! Thanks for sharing man.

Yea, my apologies for forgetting the language warning. Reguardless of what he said, his actions were priceless.

Even better at the end.

lol, but that really looked faked. Usually if you let someone sleep all muscles will relax, so that means you can't just stand up in open air while sleeping. You more should collapse and fall on the floor. So that is just faked but really cool done imo. Only it would be more fun if he could explore 'the game' more. So walk to more rooms.

lol, i love the way at the end he wakes up and says 'Woah that was really good, you see that? Man it was awesome [lol]' also the way he is shouting at the zombies is pretty funny.

Also Dirk, never heard of Sleep Walking?

Yea, its not false at all. Just because you arent "with it" doesnt mean all muscles just go limp. Body can be in many states like that.

My fave part is where he asks the bride for help, then caps her like a million times later.


I also like the end where he looks at the gun and then says "I was in the game! I was in the game!"

This was staged, many reasons, how convient for a machine to be smack bang in the middle of the room, second. His friends think its ok for a man to take him into the back corridors. I also think its impossible to be hypotised like this.

I also noticed when he first passed out, his friends were just smiling, and stuff, most people would have liked panic, or something.

Not unlesshis friends were in on the deal - but he wasnt.

Also I think the gun was airsoft - not paintball. I didnt see any residue on anyones body. Plus, the guy was in such a panic mode he could have easily been shooting blanks and thought nothing of it.

Ok, again, not staged. If you didnt read the first post, this is what he does. Derren Brown is known throughout the uk for doing this stuff. When he shows up and explains, almost everyone is going to trust him.

The machine and game were created by Derren and a programmer, thats why the machine was where it was. Also, if you were with a friend and he just stopped dead, for the first few seconds you'd be confused, and i know i'd be laughing wondering what he was doing. After that i would start to panic, but he doesn't give them anywhere near enough time for this to happen.

I'm not some freak who believes in a load of wierd stuff, but i've seen him live. It's definetely real.
