This is one of the most intense moments in television history for its time. A real show stopper as it were.
One...
illogicalrelish why wouldn’t it be tho. Derren brown does loads of crazy shit
@illogicalrelish This was live on telly bro, the possibility of it being fake didn't make it any less intense. It's fundamently the exact same trick as the cups at the beginning, but with a very suggestible guy that was very nervous so it's actually easier. The only difference is the risk of death.
@illogicalrelish I know one of the producers on the show it was real, but it wasn't anywhere near as dangerous as people think it was. the method had nothing to do with how suggestible the guy was.
@@subaroos Nope. That's what he wants dumb people to think. There is literally NOTHING to do with psychology going on. It's a trick. The chance of him coming to harm was ZERO.
He sure counted fast for someone who is asked to count slowly in a life or death situation.
he was for sure told how to count before
@@user-kw1bs4sb9d why do you say that
@@user-kw1bs4sb9d No he was told what cylinder to put it in, tho it may not of even mattered!
@@danquaylesitsspeltpotatoe8307 i dont think he was outright told which one to put it in, more likely that is was a gradual and consistent conditioning that made him choose the number he did
@@ADHDYoshi " more likely that is was a gradual and consistent conditioning that made him choose the number he did"
WHAT?
Do you think this mentalist bs is real and he tricked him into putting it into the correct place mentally?
(the round fired fired by the armourer who didnt show the projectile AS IT WAS NOT THERE again the case was too long to fit with one)
Gradual? Consistent conditioning how many time do you think they did this?
Are saying this guy was not a stooge he was he removed the projectile! Other it would not have fitted in the cylinder!
"if it fucks up, its not your fault." is just so sad, im so glad that this didnt go wrong 🙁
Don’t worry there 0 chance he would die. The round was in the last chamber so when he realised there was 100% chance he was gonna die if he pulled it he wouldnt
@@fionngoat1011 he only fired 5 of the 6 chambers: 3,4,5,6 and 1, in that order, which is all that was required to conclude the game, since as you point out, when only one remains we already know what it is (in this case, empty. After he fired the empty chamber 6 at his head, when he fired the next chamber, #1, at the sandbag, there was theoretically a 50/50 chance it contained the bullet. Had it been another empty. that would have been embarrassing but not lethal, and he'd probably then fire the last one at the sandbag just to demonstrate the bullet was there and he hadn't "disappeared" it or whatever).
I don't think any form of media has ever gotten me to metaphorically and physically be on the edge of my seat. That was truly extraordinary.
It was a magic trick.Val Valentino did a similar one Iin the 90s on TV
really? I genuinely find it fascinating you believe this. Just FYI, it was a "blank" round they used at the end, which actually doesnt matter because this was controlled. He was never, at any point, in danger of shooting himself.
What if Derren Brown was suicidal and he had two possible outcomes. Take himself out in a cool memorable way, or perform a good show by surviving. Both suited him.
You can be guaranteed he was put through psychological test to make sure he wasn’t . In anyway suicidal .
Since he is so good at reading people, it means he is also good at deception. So he could have fooled a psychological test 😏
But he wasn't. So you are a wrong virgin
even knowing he didnt get it wrong before because well.. hes alive. literally one of the most intense moments ever to be put on tv and the pure fear on face really makes it obvious that this is real. it just goes to show the genius of this man
if you believe that this is real, then television has succeeded lol
as if he’d let himself put into this kind of danger
@@daddylonglegs7340, be honest. People have done more reckless things than this live on TV.
@@Tmaster2006YT When has anyone done something this reckless on national television?
@@emilalJohnny Knoxville???
@@jasonlewis9240 when was the last time johnny knoxville played russian fucking roulette
Derren would make a fantastic Bond villain, especially if the character had the same sort of mind control skills. I'd pay to see that. :)
yes!
Mind control skills...that's a bit far-fetched, even for James Bond. Why not an evil villain who saws women in half and puts them back together...or one who makes the statue of liberty disappear!
@@ashscott6068 not mind control, but more manipulation. one that knows what bond will do next because they influenced bond to do it.
This comment reminded me a lot of the episode(s) of Sherlock Holmes on Netflix when Sherlock comes across Professor Moritaty
Yes you would pay
The whole thing becomes even more fascinating when Derren pulls back the curtain to explain his reasoning, with the cork and the last line-up... what an amazing man. His ragged "Thank you, you're extraordinary" really gets me. I'd love to see him live.
Il never ever ever ever figure out how brown does this stuff hees unbelievable
How for the love of jesus can brown do this stuff absolutely unbelievable
@@michaeldevaney5728 True
I love the way this ends with no music and the camera goes outside the building.
Imagine if God forbid, the alternate would've happened, and they still rolled out the silent credits below Derren's body.
I think that the last part of the show when he was playing russian roulette, wasn't fully broadcast live, maybe a delay between 10 to 15 seconds, so that if Darren got it wrong and shot himself, they could end the broadcast at the point when Darren shoots himself. I don't think Ofcom would be happy seeing someone shot on live TV
@@Robdc89 yes, I do remember it being reported at the time that there was a short time delay so that if went catastrophically wrong, the broadcast would be immediately stopped before we saw that bit (and I remember hoping they were extra careful to ensure there would be no technical problems which could interfere with the broadcast). During that tense minute after his apparent mistake, part of me even wondered if Derren might be evil enough to pull a Paul Daniels and briefly fake his own death!
It’s staged
@@breakbad9753it’s not.
I want you to choose one. Are you thinking of one now. The one you are thinking of, is it the correct one. You can choose one now. Is it going in the correct one..... ONE... One....
@Shannon Smith or it waa planned and that is what they wanted you too think
@Shannon Smith The method has nothing to do with suggestibility that's just presentation to throw you off the real method.
It was in chamber number 2 though. He started at 3,4,5,6,1...and the final shot 2
@@tazdianbrewhaha1402 Watch it again. Shoots 3 and 4, shoots 5 into bag, pauses, shoots 6, then shoots 1 into the bag.
@@tazdianbrewhaha1402 you can't even count haha.
Three years ago one of my employees was on the evening shift at work and she asked if she could switch to the morning shift. I approved the move. Her first week on the morning shift, on her way to work when it was still dark out she was struck by a truck and passed away. I carry this weight still. Right before they play when Derren is speaking to James letting him know that it's not his fault and he isn't legally or morally responsible I got very emotional, even though I knew how it was going to end. Great show. RIP Jen.
It's not your fault that she passed away. Please forgive yourself.
Still not your fault she wanted the move, so man up grow some balls and stop blaming yourself
The change of shifts wasn't what lead to her being hit by a truck, she could just as easily been knocked down working her usual work pattern.
I did not expect to find a comment talking about that event on a video I randomly stumbled upon, but I'll use this opportunity to say this:
There are things in life no one can control, I learned this the hard way recently. Although it might not ease your pain, I don't believe anyone on the team blames you for what happened. I hope that you can forgive yourself too.
MrSerialKiller9. No wonder you would reply something like that. Look at your username. Imagine feeling responsible for something like that. You would feel absolutely terrible.
The way DB breaks down James "The fear, he looks like a little boy in a Dept store who lost his mother" That was absolutely how he looked 100% I love this video DBs style is incredible and smooth. He's so talented and fun to watch. 🔥
When the armorer dropped the casing out of the gun and it landed perfectly vertical, that was pretty impressive.
this is absolutely normal if you have ever seen empty bullets, the bottom is heavier
@@mr_wildschweinokay but it can still fall on its side as it most of the time does
Derren's greatest trick is to make you think he pulled this off with the power of suggestion.
just a good actor lol
I remember watching this live, we were all so nervous
Andrew Spong (Lordzhuge) I agree. I remember that moment when Derren sits there for that whole minute and my heart was racing with nerves for him. Great man though, love watching his stuff.
you lucky guy
I can’t believe you felt nervous!
You’re more likely to get eaten by a shark whilst driving a car than Derren is of dying!
I’ll electrocute a kitten if I’m wrong! 😂
@@dommer6977 because nothing like this had been done on TV before! Derren has a way of making you think he's in danger and back then without social media everyone bought into it. Plus I was 13 so I believed everything 😆.
Andrew Spong (Lordzhuge) yeah I agree, it was the thrill of the moment that made me nervous. How it's set up, how Derren speaks, the pauses, it sets you up to feel nervous. Like horror movies, you know it's acting but the thrill of the action is what gives you the scares. Plus it's so much fun to watch and it doesn't matter if it's set up or not.
I noticed how he kept repeating the word "one" over and over again in his sentences when he was instructing James on what to do with his hands under the table. And he picked someone who was very suggestible. I think this trick was real, he did a very good job of picking the right person for the right task and giving him the right conditioning to make choose number 1 in the cylinder.
Good observation, I think this is exactly the case. A subtle kind of hint/hypnosis at the "deer" boy who is terrified and likely to go with whatever he says. The way he says "one" has a double meaning and you can tell it's possible, and likely, to interpret it as THE number 1 instead of just "one of the numbers". I hope this is true, because if so, it's a real trick and a fascinating experiment on human psychology.
Either way he wouldn’t have let him shoot if it was on his chamber
It’s still an incredible gamble to make…that the conditioning would “stick” properly. There was always the chance that the guy could make an unexpected choice. You can tell that’s what Derren was thinking.
@@DeSlagen8 though Derren did instruct James not to try to stop him, since James was sitting at the other side, I don't think he'd have been able to see if Derren was about to shoot himself. I don't know how clearly he could hear Derren speaking when he was wearing his ear defenders (maybe someone with relevant experience could give us some insight on that). When Derren, after his apparent mistake and excruciatingly long pause for thought, finally picked up the gun again and fired it, he did it very quickly. Had he got it wrong, I don't think James would have had a chance to warn him.
I like the way he used more and more people's names and made it feel more personal as the eliminations progress. It was a nice touch for them to feel like yes they were let go, but as a consolation prize, they got to know him and he them
I don't care how fake are those bullets....anything fired at that close range, will do damage. One of the nicest ones by Derren
Ones...
The bullets were real, it was their heads that were fake.
@@TheAmishGamer haha 😂
Today CZcams decided I needed to see: The History of Orange Juice, Mongolian Death Metal (The Hu), Gilbert Gottfried driving a Ferrari with Jay Leno, and now, the piece de resistance: Derren Brown playing Russian Roulette.
The Hu is awesome!!
Sounds juicy 🍊
Derren is truly an amazing individual! This has gotta be one of the riskiest things I've ever seen anyone do. So glad it worked out. U tha man, Derren!✌️
it wasnt risky at all. I promise you.
MAN id love to meet this guy.
This was intense and I obviously knew that he lived through this. Wow, he would make an AMAZING criminal profiler.
Or barrister which he trained as.
This is amazing! It tricks you into being entertained for the whole thing only before you realise that it's just been building suspence for a thrilling ending
Mind blowing! Darren you amaze me every time I watch you, the amount of knowledge you have... it's amazing!!!
Luckily, it wasn't literally mind blowing this time.
@@cultureshock72 😂😂😂
I called number 1 had the bullet in. I just could see 1. However, I wouldn't have to balls to do it. Two words to describe Darren Brown.... THE GOAT.
Can we just take a moment to say just how good Darren is at predicting people?
but he's not though. it's all just smoke and mirrors.
@@blanktom6049 i realized that after making this comment and i'm way too lazy to delete it.
It was a suggestion. He planted the ONE in his head so he would choose one. The counting is only to back it up
Me who kept saying 5 in my head thinking it was 5 and him shooting 5 and nothing came out. Me thinking I accidentally made him think it was 5 though the screen. *__*
on the edge of my chair here . Absolutely fantastic . FTS
First time I watched this, I had to keep reminding myself not to worry Derren is alive! Wow
I feel like that he was 100% sure that the bullet is in number 1 and the firing of number 5 against the sack was a trick, only to make the scene more intense for the audience. You can see a grin on he's face when he "changes his mind" before shooting number five. That's a liar's grin when a liar tells a lie and he feels proud because he knows that he won't be caught of the lie. I'm sure Derren is a master at hiding these emotions and micro expressions but he MUST have been nervous at that situation and couldn't hide that grin. It was a situation of life and death any how. Sorry for the grammar mistakes, I'm just a Derren-fan from Finland!
Olen täysin samaa mieltä
@@saarapollonen8138 oih kiva et joku muukin suomalainen kattoo derrenin pätkiä
woah didnt even catch that slight smirk. also the way he flinched himself back before shooting as if he was bracing for the loud bullet sound, derren is obviously a great mentalist but hes a phenomenal actor as well! he was practically made for live television and these sort of stunts
I donn't see a grin man. I thought bullet was in one too but I am not sure he shot the bag on 5 with thinking 100% the bullet is not in that chamber. thoughts?
even thought u knew he survived i was still scared for him.
Man, I watched this years ago and still have nightmares about it. Dude is unreal…
Derren , you are the man . sending all our love and respect from, Belfast ,Northen ireland . FTS QS
You are a great human derren ..
Hi is soo talented and true to his art, wow
i just realized that he planted the word one in james' mind when he was going to pick the number... "choose one of those numbers... choose one..." that's clever
Intro Music was Amazing!
In a different world he blew his brains out
in a different world he is president
In a different world it’s you who plays the game instead of him and dies
@@favray with derren sat behind the glass
In a different world James would be playing Russian Roulette and Derren would've been sitting behind the glass shield
Love this!!!!
Amazing. And yeah he was suggesting him number 1. And also the very first time when the armorer showed them the gun, he put the round in chamber number 1. Still this is crazy
Imagine showing up to university of westminister on that day and seeing a hundred people milling about in front of a “Russian roulette check-in” desk
That was one of the hardest things I have ever watched. I nearly couldn't complete this video. Did anyone else feel the same? just before the last two bullets, I nearly tuned out. I think I still feel traumatised LOL
That's absolutely insane!
I have watched the final part of this show so many times and it STILL makes me nervous.
The fact he could have gotten his brains blown out in live TV was obviously the most tense moment ever broadcasted to television.
lol. at no point was he ever at risk of blowing his brains out. Blank rounds dont do that :) . Just youutbe "smith and wesson .38 revolver" and compare the shots on that video and what you see here.
48:13 That is the biggest 'Oh shit' face I've seen in my entire life
Wow, thank you
5:28 notice how he says fair and even he is implanting the number 4 in his head
6:06 If you listen carefully to the guy counting, you'll notice the pitch off his voice slightly raises from number 4
I remember watching it live and when he took ages before pulling the trigger on 5, i thought he had messed up and didn't know which number it was at the time. My heart was in my mouth.
After watching it again now and after seeing other Derren Brown shows, i know how he can plant things in to peoples heads. He used thrases like, just choose one, only choose one etc.
great acting
The fact he chose the most nervous person out of the six to be responsible for his life-
The nervous one would be more likely to choose the easily predicted chamber.
Bruh you took his bracelet n he didn't even care or notice
He noticed. That's the point of the cup game. If the guy with the cups wins, he keeps what's under the cup.
My best guess is there were many levels of security for this trick.
First, Derren subliminally suggests "1" as the number to pick in the instructions he gives to the kid. (I want you to choose ONE of those numbers. You keep that number to yourself but have a look at them now and choose ONE. This number you choose now it doesn't matter which ONE it is. You can change your mind as many times as you like which you make that decision for me and you settle on a number. Are you thinking of ONE now?)
Second, I expect that after the armorer shot the gun, he was instructed to have it with the number 1 chamber out and facing the kid, so that the path of least resistance was for the kid to simply put it in the number 1 chamber. (Note, as I watched this, I was thinking that this nervous kid would just gravitate to picking whatever number he saw on the gun, the easiest number to choose, no matter what it is, so that Derren could not use psychology, like, "he'll avoid the extremes of 1 or 6, go for something in the middle..." because that kind of psychology is thwarted by the fact the gun chambers are presented to the kid in a way that makes it easiest to pick whatever number is ready for loading without spinning the chamber.)
Third, he listens for the quiver in the kid's voice as he says the numbers. He was most nervous saying the first number, then it was all downhill. I myself guessed it was in chamber 1 after the kid's counting.
As a fourth "safety check" he may have been listening for the sound of the kid spinning the chamber before putting in the bullet; the sound of the kid just opening it to the chamber available to him and putting it in is distinct from the sound of the kid spinning the chamber around then putting in the bullet then closing it. So, again, assuming the armorer was told to make sure the "1" chamber was the one facing outward toward the kid when he handed him the gun, the lack of sound of the chamber rotating would be proof where the bullet was.
Fifth, when you open the chamber, it may be possible to load the 2 chamber, too, but by picking 3 as his starting point, Derren never had to test the 2 chamber. While he gives the impression he knows the bullet was in chamber 1, he really was only sure it was in 1 or 2 and if the gun had gone click when he shot the first chamber, he would have instantly fired the second chamber with a result only slightly less impressive.
Note, I think he shot the 5 chamber toward the bag not because he was nervous about it, but to increase the nervousness in us, the audience, to think Derren was fallible, not sure where the bullet was, and that was also why he waited so long.
As perhaps a sixth factor, I note that while the kid was given a chair with numerous spines/spokes in the back (5 I think), Derren's chair had just one post, which also might subtle suggest 1 to the kid. The different type/style of chairs was a bit odd, so I could see Derren saying "I don't care what kind of chair it is, so long as it has just 1 post coming up" for fear the kid might latch onto the number of spokes on his chair as the "path of least resistance" in choosing a chamber to put the bullet in.
As a seventh level of security -- which I would definitely have utilized if I were doing this -- Derren could easily have a camera on the ceiling looking down into the kid's lap, perhaps on the kid himself (button camera on his shirt he is unaware of?) and you have a person charged with watching the kid put the bullet in the gun, make sure it is in chamber 1 or 2 and, if not, send a signal to report some technical issue to halt the show. I mean, checking the table for a hidden camera is kind of pointless when there obviously can be cameras set up behind and above the kid, or even on his person, that suffice to show what chamber he loads. Technically there could have been a spy seeing watch chamber the bullet was put into, and then communicating that to Derren, but I like to think he really tried to do this using suggestion & observation & psychology, and only used this failsafe person just as a back up (assuming he had such a fail-safe which, again, is my guess).
interesting theories, i suspect it was probably a mixture of some of them. I think at least some mentalism and psychology was used, but it wouldn't surprise me that a magician had more than just his skill at reading voices up his sleeve.
@@MemekingJag Well, does anyone really think he was risking his life? That the station would take that risk and air it? Of course not. The show emphasizes that HE has no secret inside knowledge, that he is not using any mirror or camera to look at where the bullet is. But it's no sweat to have a some one else standing by with a visual angle, camera or mirror to see where the bullet was put and halt the show if the bullet is put in the wrong chamber. Even that is subject to an accident/mistake, which is why it makes sense to have a trick gun that can only fire from certain chambers. The cost of such a custom gun is high, but still negligible in the scheme of the production cost of such a tv show. A lot of street magic relies on the magician going up to a TON of people, and their tricks don't always work, so then the editors just show the cream of the crop. Derren could do the same thing, having half a dozen people standing by to serve as "volunteers" for this show, and so if the first puts the bullet in the wrong chamber, they just re-film it with the next volunteer, and over and over till they get one where the bullet is put in the correct chamber. I mean, the show was riveting, so even knowing there is no real danger, they still convey the illusion of danger very well, so it's fine. I don't think Derren is a hack, the way I think Criss Angel is a hack (using simple camera edits and special effects and paid actors to pretend he did magic when it was no more magical than Gandalf casting a spell in LOTR is magical). Criss Angel is a total hack loser, and his fans are the same types who think pro wrestling is real and Jonathan Edwards talks to spirits.
@@mymyersfamily but the same methods of selection of particular participants (plants if its a 'trick') are used to set up the entire plan of having a player so easy to read and suggestible that the odds aren't fair, they're stacked already heavily in one direction. Go rewatch the first 90% of the video, he uses numerous techniques that are explainable to basically create what in a victorian pistol ball catch trick would be a plant. instead of just having someone in on the act, and expecting them to perform their part (not always guaranteed), you use psychological knowledge to find the closest thing to a 'plant' they can get.
Also, the alternatives mean cutting a lot of people in on what would be the highlight of a stage career, and certainly was for derren brown. how could he guarantee silence about the fakery forever?
Occam's razor says that he is simply capable of using the skills and knowledge he already has been proven capable of demonstrating, and this is nothing more than a well thought out stunt that looks dangerous, but after the many layers of deception and subversion involved openly in many cases are stacked so heavily in his favour that he is more at risk of getting struck by lightning than messing up fatally.
finally, you realise he does actually fuck up the stunt right? he isn't sure about one of the chambers so he pulls the trigger aiming at the sandbag. that was just another layer of protection he had, the ability to judge things on the go and play it safe if necessary.
I am coursing psychology and I agree with your third point. His nervousness was at it's peak when starting the count and he became calmer / more neutral after counting 1 and 2. It's like he wanted to get rid of that number in his head as fast as possible, either due to the burden of the knowledge in the sense that bullet may kill someone or because he doesn't want to make it obvious for Derren (or both).
Assuming either 1 or 2 has the bullet, starting from the 3 chamber makes total sense.
It's funny to me when "psychics" and "spirit mediums" claim supernatural powers, yet they can't do a tenth of the shit Derren can do.
Even though I was on stage with the man 2 nights ago, watching this still makes me panic
do you appear in this video, if so at what time?
@@SyenPie no unfortunately not, I was at one of his love tour shows
@@thatloser88 thats awesome tho! i would've loved being live at one of his shows
That’s some great timing, it’s been like two years since I watched this and decided to rewatch the old clip, but then you uploaded the full episode! Crazy right?
You know when he misfired the gun and took a long deep think before pulling it again he was thinking that he fucked up and only had a 50/50 change to live
The grand old days of going through video tapes.
I am entirely convinced that he knew from watching the video submission who he was going to pick and knew before they left the country for the secret location which chamber he would choose for the round. Very impressive but it’s all good showmanship he knows how everything will play out so far in advance.
Step 1: Find an easily suggestible, submissive participant out of many possibilities
Step 2: 43:07 "I want you to choose ONE of those numbers; you keep that number to yourself and have a look at them now, and choose ONE. This number you choose now, it doesn't matter which ONE it is... Are you thinking of ONE now?"
Step 3: 46:50 Listen for cues when recited. Perhaps "one" was the least confident sounding?
Perhaps a predictable outcome but not something I would risk my life on! Perhaps there's an extra layer I'm missing?
You can kind of hear it when he counts, 1 sounds intense, then 2 he breaths a sigh of relief as he speaks and it's even fainter by 3 and completely not there in later numbers. He didn't try to give any hints, it was just his instincts
The cork game was so cool
what i would give to have actually seen this live on tv - peak television
I watched it live (almost, since apparently Channel 4 insisted on a short time delay so if he did blow his brains out they'd stop the broadcast, but that didn't detract from the suspense). It was by far the most riveting thing I've ever seen on TV.
I'm so jealous - the closest thing I've seen is dynamo burying himself alive live on sky , but I find derren brown more riveting as he doesn't appear as a magician or claim to be and his programmes are so well explained and simply executed
I knew it was in 1 when he said "Choose 1" during the instructions.
"I wouldn't dream of showing any of those clips"
editor: you were saying?
I'm hoping this phase of Derren Brown as a performer is well and done. I'm glad it got his name out to the world but please, less of the self-harming material (knife stamping, glass eating, nail in the face). And MORE of the psychological mischief!
I wish people who watch this would actually understand that there is no risk or jeopardy involved. ITS A TRICK. Real bullets or not, it doesn't matter as there was no risk of him shooting himself. Do you think Channel 4 would ever air something LIVE even if there were a tiny chance of him shooting himself. I love derren a lot but he should be more honest on how his shows work. Its so ironic because he criticises mediums for saying they have powers and yet Derren has huge amount of fans who think he actually does all this crazy shit for real and defend him like a messiah figure. This is exactly the same as the lottery one: a magic trick with some filler to somehow create a false narrative for how he "figured it out". This one is far superior though as its way more dramatic. I remember watching it as a kid and it was incredible.
I don’t think it’s correct to say there’s no risk involved; it is a real bullet, and while you're right, it’s a trick, it could still go wrong. I agree, of course; It wouldn’t be aired if it did go wrong. Watching it is enjoyable through the cast's perspective before they can say it all worked out. I don’t believe the fact that it’s a trick deducts from the enjoyment either; if it did, I don’t see how any magic could be enjoyed
bro has probably got some steel balls to do this on live and making it out alive
He stole the kids bracelet at the end of the cups routine. 🤣🤣🤣
Rip derren:(
Your crazy bro but i love it
Cool
when hes just sat there shaking thinking is insane
Wowowow
6:52 Love the spinning cat
He was asked to choose one, and by golly, he chose one
I KNEW it was no1. He kept saying "Put in the ONE you want", "Keep thinking of the ONE you put it in".. "It doesnt matter which ONE it is"..."Keep checking it goes into the ONE chamber your thinking of correctly"..."I want you to choose ONE of those numbers"......
Very smart!!!! and Brave to say the least!
is staged wtf do you expect lmao
@@naegleriafowleri2230 Mate, it may be. I usedd to think that 100%. However, i dunno so much man...
He is Reading Your Mind, 😂
Never seen this before but i knew it was in one when he said the numbers to him.
I like the MAD pile behind him lol
The five names that he had on the paper was not the 5 names of the guys sitting in the seats just over a minute afterwards there was only one Daniel on the paper and two Daniels sitting in the seats after🤔
that chair trick is even more impressive than the actual stunt
He's the Human version of heavens door
You know he had to have had a big ”oh shit” moment when he tried to shoot the 5th chamber and it didn’t go off.
Bro, how you got the balls for this?
Possibly the most intense thing I have watched today
I was kinda surprised 1) that he lived and 2) that they even allowed this on the television.
@Hermaeusmora5042 Yes, all real. I have spoken with people who worked on the production of this special, they work for Objective Productions and they said it was real
The fact that this was on live TV freaks me out.
I'm glad he let them all know up front what they were competing for; there is no way I would have wanted to end up across from him knowing he wanted to point a gun at himself. :(
Wow! thought the MK Ultra Project was halted... Now I KNOW it continues
Derren's real magic is making you think everything he does is mental manipulation and readling body language and tones of voice. There is no way that he did this by how James said the numbers. I don't want to know how he really did it, as where is the fun in that?
Exactly. I'm a huge fan of Derren's, but there is no way this was done by suggesting James to put the bullet in chamber 1. Even through suggestion, that would be WAY too big of a risk. Almost everything Derren does can be explained through typical magic tricks; however, I'm not a magician, so I have no clue how he does it.
Maybe the gun itself is special? Idk, but this was not suggestion or manipulation (or at the very least, very minor manipulation).
Notice Derren's duping delight expression at the start where he says the words "Russian Roulette". He knows it's nothing of the sort. He also gives a small duping delight expression just after he says that no stooges are used, probably because it was irrelevant who he chose to do the trick anyway. Notice the armourer says "These are live rounds" but doesn't say if he was allowed to examine the gun. The gun is specially designed, simple as. The sand bag might have an explosive in it too rather than it receiving a bullet.
Ok so I studied Darren brown alot AMD one thing I understand is he is very ethical and honest so common sence tells me the under the table gum switch with a garrenty bullet wouldn't be fired until that final shot = 1 great show . Russian roulette = 50 50 chance and to a magician 50 50 % are not good odds
i was getting literal goosebumps when the game started
I figured 1 was safe due to him counting rather quick after 1.
For some reason, 3 was coming in to say hi but then Derren selected 3.
reading these comments with a British accent is hilarious.
Scottish?
Curious that they didn’t show the sandbag after he shot it
Throwback to the camera whispering numbers In the background
Good! Good!! Good~~
