Met Derren in a coffee shop years ago, we chatted about his show in my town that evening and he asked if I had tickets, no I said, he rang his agent and had two waiting for me at the front desk that night! Top bloke 👍🏻
I met Derren Brown when I was working in the west end. He bought all of the front of house staff pizza at the end of the first show. Super nice and humble guy.
I saw a guy meet him in a cafe, and by "meet" I mean "sit on the other side of". He fell asleep and Darren told him to steal a baby from the shop next door. He did. Fascinating.
Wow this is like the third comment about just a cool nice deed this guy did. I didn’t love his entertainment but he sounds like such a nice guy I like him anyway!
Was on stage with him in Belfast on the Svengali Tour for a part of the show, met him after and he thanked me for my participation and signed a book for me, absolute gent and what a wonderful portfolio of work
@Immortal BMX Yeah man, guy's amazing. Don't even know where to begin with the section I was up for, and it was only Derren and Myself on stage for about 12 mins, Il never forget it
i was thinking the same thing the whole time because hes always "nodding" like imputing something into his brain maybe at ufc 231 he will interview someone and then spit in his face
@@sergeantpsychotic4954 That nod he does is a behavioural 'tick'. He does it all the time. You'll see him do it during stage shows and when interviewed. Met the guy once too. Lovely man.
Was privileged to catch Derren's Showman show last year and it was genuinely mind blowing. Nothing like being in a room with him live watching him perform, I'm naturally sceptical to magic/hypnosis effects etc. yet found that I had been done myself by one of his many great tricks in the show's finale, blew me away as I'm naturally sceptical towards magic/hypnosis effects. An incredible performer, roll on the next stage show
I've seen this man live, I already considered him to be extremely intelligent but after witnessing his talents live I can honestly say he might be the most gifted human being in existence
The most impressive Derren Brown feat is not drinking his own bath water. As he says at the end, it's very easy due to statistical fluke for people like him to start believing they have some real power. It takes a very honest individual like Derren to keep reminding himself that there's something much more mundane at work.
No. To be as good at performing tricks as Derren is you have to have a very robust understanding of how they actually work. Nobody is more aware that it's all fake than he is.
@@MultiCheeseLouise That hasn't stopped magicians in the past from falling for their own ego and statistical fallacies. Plenty of mentalists drink their own bathwater, despite knowing how their own tricks work.
All fake are the wrong words to use. It's a phenomena that looks extreme and over the top, but has some mundane underpinnings that allow it to work. That doesn't make the results of which any less miraculously experienced or felt. It's a real phenomena and one can abuse their power and do some rather devious things. It's clear that Darren is a good person....at least he presents himself really well as one ;)@@MultiCheeseLouise
@@user-kz1lc5vg3c well done for basically describing what a magic trick is. Your pedantry was really necessary. It’s quite obvious you know exactly what I meant when I said it’s all fake.

This is why I’m incredibly interested in states of consciousness, because if we could understand how these states effect us and how to put ourselves in these states, we could sort of take more control our stories, or at least understand more about who we are and how we work
I'm a clinical hypnotherapist and have studied human conscious for about twenty years. In fact I would call myself an explorer of consciousness. If you want to read a great book check out "Far Journeys" by Robert Monroe - he's got a few other books but that one's my favorite of his. He developed a technology called "hemisync" which synchronizes left and right brain hemispheres; certain frequencies can cause an out of body experience but there's MANY other uses for hemisync. I'd also recommend the book "You Are Not Your Brain" by Dr. Jeffrey Schwartz (it's about self directed neuroplasticity). Neuroplasticity is how we learn and create habits - by rewiring the neurological pathways in our brains & self directed neuroplasticity is the ability to take control of that process. Only two things are required for neuroplasticity to occur, repetition and focus.
Derren brown introduced me and no doubt millions of others the sheer enormity of subliminal thought. Brilliant entertainer that always leaves you with many niggling, puzzling thoughts and questions but just at that point he just disappears in a puff of smoke. Derren is a wonderful wizard.
Most people in Darren’s space come off as smug and shady. I was wondering if this podcast would expose Darren, but he is actually a humble and authentic guy. Definitely gained a fan.
You might enjoy Derren’s Tricks of the Mind book. Pleasant insight into his personal life, how he got to where he is & a good number of his actual tactics are taught for real-world use 🙂
I tried using that line when an aggressive guy approached me. Unfortunately he was a builder, who had just built me a wall outside the front of my house, only to 3.5ft and not the 4ft I'd requested.
Love Derren Brown. I do so agree that the stories we tell ourselves are so often the things that delay our healing. I had a foot injury in 2018 that was looking like it might stop my running but I caught myself telling my dad all about it on the phone one day and realised that I was quite attached to the “poor me with the injured foot unable to do his favourite sport of running story” and in that moment shook myself so as to say “what the heck are you doing - you don’t want that story”. That instant shift meant the foot was fully functional again in 2-3 days.
The exact same thing happened to me only with tinnitus. I had a family tragedy that was a real shock on the same day I spent too long mixing a rock demo for my band with headphones up too loud. For the next weeks I had aggressively loud tinnitus in my left ear. I convinced myself it was permanent and I’d never be able to play in a band or experience peace again. I ended up having a free consultation with a tinnitus charity consultant. He explained to me how to adapt and live with it. The acceptance that conversation brought changed the narrative from me being passive and unlucky to courageous and durable. The next day the tinnitus was gone. Crazy.
I find it fascinating. When my 5yr old hurts his knee, I can kiss it and make it better, or rub it, or put a useless plaster on it, tell him that it’s all better now and the tears instantly dry up. I think that suggestibility starts when we’re children, and never goes away, for some of us at least. Having said that, I’m hugely sceptical about any of that stuff and I think I’d be a nightmare to essentially ’trick’ that way. But I definitely use that kind of distraction technique to convince my boy that he feels better lol
I was going to say that falls more into the category of placebo as opposed to hypnotism...but if you look at the nature of the two, they’re both extremely similar. Almost indistinguishable from one another
@@martinbirkenhead3999 Using witchcraft on his son to trick him into thinking he’s fine isn’t good at all. That’s child abuse, and he should have his son taken away from him, and go to prison, but I’m just kidding. I’m sure he’s a good dad, even if he is a witch.
I absolutely loved Derren's live show in NYC last week - he is so intelligent and funny, it's a pleasure to watch him :) Maybe he hypnotized me, but I felt fantastic for days after the show :)
"One night I was walking on Highgate Hill when a drunk accosted me and kept asking, 'How beautiful is the moon' I replied, 'My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun...' He said that was a good answer, and lurched off. Shakespeare works quite well with drunks, I've found." ~ Sting
Derren: calmly and patiently explains for a solid 8 minutes about how we can never really know what people who are hypnotised are experiencing. Joe Rogan after explanation: So does onion taste like an apple to hypnotised people?
If you make them approach it with the right mindset,,, yes... An onion, and apple and a potato all taste exactly the same if you don't stop to smell them first.
About as believable to me as religious people who think speaking in tongues in speaking to god...yeah it's their experience, doesn't make it any less ridiculous.
Wow, the tonality changes, moving from commanding, to slowing down, emphasising continuing words like ‘so’ and ‘and’, the pauses, the speed of communication, bringing up different states with his stories - Derren Brown is amazing at hypnosis. Just rapid fire runs through pattern interrupts and controls the centre of attention.
Derren Brown. The UK's finest mentalism performer. He's a bit hard to pin down exactly into a category though. From his TV shows and specials. Russian roulette, seance , the heist etc.. always something different and surprising. And always entertaining. Andy Nyman, who he works with is known for a few films and the stage play "ghost stories" recently made into a great movie.
I really enjoyed this clip. I'm a Derren Brown fan and it was interesting to hear him speak so candidly with Joe, regarding hypnosis and his thoughts on it.
The fascinating thing about Derren Brown is how he normalises and understates everything that he does. It somehow increases his mystique because there's obviously something psychologically profound going on in his work.
Not really. He is just showing how easy it is for masters to shepard the sheep. Humans are easily controlled, manipulated, tricked etc. How do you think the elite maintain a hold on the sheep. You ever seen they live the film ? I wish that wasn't real but as I've had my own extraterrestrial experience it unfortunately is.
At one of Derren’s shows in Sunderland (England) there was a part where everyone stood up and he did a group suggestibility/ hypnosis bit where we closed our eyes and couldn’t move etc. But the lady next to me didn’t snap out of it when Derren told us to and was just sat there completely entranced with her eyes shut. It went to the shows interval and after 10 minutes or so Derren came up to the Upper Circle of the theatre where we were and came right next to me and was whispering to the lady telling her to slowly start drifting back and waking up. She eventually did and she looked so confused and embarrassed 😂. I think she must have just been in a very small minority of people who are very suggestive
@andrewelderfield4583 I went to the one in Liverpool and wasn't impressed atall, he definitely plant's stooges and is a bit of a charlatan. Was you at the one where the lad from the crowd fell of the stage?
The admin panel comment from Joe Rogan really made me a bit inspired. Thinking about all the things the brain can do. All the data it holds. The crazy things we see in dreams. The brain's ability to speed up and slow down time. It can actually speed it up quite rapidly!! It can actually shut off the processing of moments altogether and skip over time periods entirely!! But these siystems are automated, or results of us doing or feeling other things. Imagine having ful lcontrol over it.... humanity would be even more of a mess xDDD
Nobody wants to fight with a crazy person. Even if something like that obviously won't work as well for a regular dude, it's still effective I believe. Humans have a natural fear of crazyness/sickness and somebody who's talking randomly about a wall outside their house won't be seen as normal.
It's also something that has no real risk to it. If it doesn't work and they still insist on trying to start a fight or anything, then just proceed with the normal route you would have gone with.
I think this is a very interesting area because I was experiencing almost constant physical pain for a year and discovered through reading and watching my experience that pain is a complex issue and not just defined by the physical experience, as a consequence I was able to develop techniques for feeling far less pain.
For me his most amazing thing was guessing people’s job, just by stopping them in the street at random, shaking their hand, assessing their clothing and diction, class (a British thing), and telling them what they worked at.
@zezt zezter so are you saying he literally has " super powers " ? That's funny ....he's just really good at manipulation .hypnosis .power of suggestion.....all really amazing things to have but doing what he does fit past 30 years and dedication to perfecting these things is why he's so good ....but super powers? Course not
@zezt zezter you didn't...the person on original post did ...but since it was you who asked the question " what has he got then " ...I answered thinking it was the original post
I hold Derren Brown in awe. He is intelligent, interesting, humble, caring and a wonderful human being. When people ask me who I would love to spend an evening with, it's Derren Brown
Same. He's one of the celebrities I actually wouldn't be intimidated by if I were to meet him. I've read Tricks of the Mind and Happy, and it seems like he has a solid grasp of who he is.
Derren leads the conversation towards some really fascinating deep stuff, alas Joe drags it back to more typical lines. I'd love to hear more of Derren talking philosophy.
The same thing happened to me when I was younger, a group of guys surrounded me trying to bully me... I looked up at a street light and said there they are they have just come and the confusion on there face was priceless. They started to walk off and left me alone.
I’ve been hypnotised by Derren!!! It was at the Bristol Hippodrome, he made everyone stand up & raise their left hand & to hold it there. He then tested the whole audience, in order to see who was capable of under the power of suggestion. I was one of 46 left in the theatre who couldn’t lower their hands. When he came to me with the microphone, he asked me how I felt…. I said “Shaky!”😹
When Derren got some bloke to sit in a bath full of ice, and enjoyed the warmth until he put his hand on the side, and all of a sudden, the bloke was shaking with cold, and when Derren took his hand off the bath, the guy was again enjoying the warmth. That is the power of hypnosis, and could be used to help folk get off class a drugs.
That experience also changed Derren's idea of hypnosis. Prior, he thought it was only behavioral compliance, but the ice stunt had him think that it could be a combination of a shifted mental state and behavior. People who have never taken ice baths cannot sit in one for that long THAT comfortably.
I watched this video when it was uploaded on 9 Nov 2018. and now my clock says its 27 June 2020. Last thing I remember was Darren clicking hes fingers.
'The Mentalist' show, is heavily based on DB. So much dialogue is based on his insights etc. There are mentalists/psychological illusionists, then there's DB.
This is why when you read technical journals it says that hypnotism doesn't really work, it's only suggestion. It shows how susceptible we are as a species to suggestion and that what we think and believe, that internal story we all tell ourselves, dictates our suggestibility in certain situations and topics. The keys seem to be these interruptions in the internal dialogue either accelerating or decelerating Adrenalin. Just like we can't say hypnotism doesn't really work, we can also say the law of attraction, isn't a law... but yet seems to work. Our perception is everything.
I think I’ve seen virtually all of Derren’s tv shows and some of the recordings of his stage shows plus I’ve listened to him in audio book form a couple of times but how he explained things here gave me a more nuanced insight into what he does and hypnosis in general. I was happy when Sam Harris announced he would have Derren as a guest years ago but disappointed that Harris completely failed to probe and ask deeper questions about hypnosis. They were just a couple of mates having a polite chat but Rogan actually asked questions, sometimes his questions seemed borderline naive but they still elicited an interesting response so credit to him.
Was a big fan of Darren's 15 years ago. Admittedly, there have been performances that to me seemed to rely on a stooge (or on someone pressured into playing along). But I'd say the vast majority of his work is a composition of brilliant showmanship, great patter, skilled application of various mentalist's methods and indeed quite a lot of suggestion. Every magician offers a (false) explanation for his magic. Telekinesis was Uri Geller's for bending spoons. Darren's explanation is usually that it's all down to psychology. Sometimes it is indeed, other times there's a wonderful trick underlying it. Stop trying to be a smartass by calling this man a fraud. He's an incredibly talented and skilled magician who's created his own niche of magic presented as a psychology. And look up his card trick performed for Stephen Fry, great presentation!
After just having just read Michael Pollan's book, essentially what I am hearing here sounds like Derren has a variety of techniques for short circuiting someones default mode network. Very interesting.
Referencing Milton H. Erikson, then Richard Bandler or Grinder lends credibility to this guy. My dad turned me onto Erikson with a book about medical and dental hypnosis then another, which Ive forgotten the name of, in the mid 70s. Bandler and Grinder came out with a series of books on NLP years later that made me understand exactly how Erikson did what he did, which he himself didnt truly understand. Erikson is the father of NLP...Bandler is its first technician.
I still think this man is the most skilful artist with his stage show. I'm not into magic shows but Darren Brown is on another level. Extremely intelligent and interesting. He is lucky that we are not friends because I would bore the shit out of him with questions. For the people that see him, I think he makes life a little better.
Hypnosis cured my insomnia. I have not taken a sleeping pill for more than ten years now. I fall asleep every night in a most peaceful state of mind with effortless baby-like breathing. Plenty of sleep specialists to choose from on U-Tube.
Derren is the GOAT. As a young man, I used to do that kind of a card trick at bar to ladies. I would do the trick, and pick first the "wrong" card. After that, I hided the right one in the cigarett pack of the lady in question. It's priceless to see the look, when they took their next smoke.
he's my Celebrity crush. I'm a straight guy mostly, but I do Identify as Bisexual. My "turn of the head" is Henry Cavill and Derren Brown. Just, god, the hours you can spend talking to the guy and have fun talking. He's that interesting personality. He's talented, charming and full of insight. - If I was to date a guy again? Derren. He's a sociopath like me, but that kinda reformed. Where he can zero in on things and use them, but doesn't.
Michael Finley not to mention confirmation bias, lack of understanding, and just plain wonderment for how amazing life can be, plus our biological wiring for wanting to believe in things that give us purpose and meaning.
I feel like Derrent was realy onto something when he started talking about the differences between how suggestible you can be made to be depending on certain situations.
It is strange to me that Derren views hypnosis in this way. His knowledge is amazing and I have seen everything he has done. He is literally 1 in a million. The ultimate Showman
I also study hypnosis, and the thing is the more you know about hypnosis, the less mystical it seems. There does not have to be any formal process for someone to enter a hypnotic state. It doesn't require trance or relaxation, it's just suggestion, but being relaxed tends to make people more suggestible. It also feels very nice.
@@MsAliciaRL That makes a lot of sense to me as I have often noticed the way he gently taps people's shoulder etc every time he says some kind of 'key word'. A perfect example of this is the 'Christmas Present' routine with Simon Pegg. It was/is truly fascinating. However, I don't think I want to peak behind the veil as they say. I kind of like the mystery behind it :D
@TGFGamesta I get that. I still find hypnosis fascinating, even though my view is fairly similar to Derren's. Every hypnotist has a different definition of what hypnosis actually is, so you've just need to develop your own philosophy.
Whereas I find the views, like yours, to be the part that fascinates me. It interests me so much but I still don't want to 'actually' know how it is done if that makes sense. I like to see what others think and how they view things but I want to keep the magic of being blissfully unaware lol. What can I say! It is the mental battle of looking for an explanation but not wanting to know the answer. Akin to astronomy too @@MsAliciaRL
I’ve always assumed most people are playing along on stage. But one time at a Ren Fest, me and my friend were 2 of the people that volunteered, cause neither of us believed in it . And nothing happened to me. I didn’t respond to “sleep” or anything. And a few of us didn’t. And he sent us back to the crowd. But my friend actually responded and fell asleep, and then he made him do a few random embarrassing things with the other people. And after the show, I asked my friend if he was playing along. And he was really confused. And acted weird for like 30 minutes after . And when I explained to him what happened. He was even more confused. And didn’t believe that he had gotten hypnotized- he thought he was only up there a couple of seconds and then sent back to his seat. He is a really close friend of mine. And not someone who likes attention or makes shit up, I barely got him to go on stage with me. And to this day, he still doesn’t believe me when I tell him that he got “hypnotized”… and to this day he says “I don’t think I’m someone who could be hypnotized” So I have no idea what the hell it’s all about.
Read his book Confessions of the Conjurer and kinda miss this story in the book. He's truly the man of the century. I learnt a lot from him and he changed me into a better person far from wht I cn do myself
Hey guys, shut the fuck up for a minute because I've got a hot and juicy scoop. I have the name and a brief synopsis of the 4th avengers movie, it's called "The Avengers: Rise of the Leather Daddies". Having easily defeated Thanos by smothering him with a baby's diaper full of fudge and diarrhoea and then telling him to just go away, the Avengers face their greatest threat yet, a gurning hoard of romantically dominant homosexual men, all of whom are clad stunningly in sleek and shiny leather.
squirty mcgoo Hahahah this isn’t going to work buddy. This is a comment section, not real life, so no body language or physical proximity for that to work. 😂
People who are most likely to be "hypnotized" are just the % of us who are most likely to blindly follow orders, out of personal insecurity, timidness, fear of disappointing others etc
Darren Brown is absolutely phenomenal, his skill set is just incredible . Having said that, there’s something about his erratic way of communicating that I just can’t follow along with…I’m hypnotized?
@@mattsheezy5469 he is erratic and annoying. Lol. I will say though that someone sent me a recent clip of his and I noticed he toned it down quite a bit. Still didn't get beyond 5 minutes though!🫠
Odd to give a name to the process in which... Sam asks Bob to obey his commands. Bob agrees to obey Sam's commands. Sam gives Bob a command. Bob obeys the command. I don't see anything mysterious here although the scenario itself seems a little weird and quite unusual (outside of employment or military circumstances I mean). For most of my life I was generally of the opinion that hypnosis was entirely bollocks. Until, in desperation, I made yet another attempt to quit smoking and paid for a hypnosis course. No, I didn't quit smoking but... 1. I noticed that for about an hour after each session I was feeling exceedingly calm and while driving home afterwards enjoyed absolute and total immunity from any negative emotional response rush hour traffic so often evokes. 2. After the course I was given a recording of one of the sessions (which were each half an hour long). At the time I had a regular, fun, well paying, mentally challenging day job but also enjoyed a vigorous social life that too often cut deeply into sleep time. I always showed up for work on time but the lack of sleep (and sometimes the alcohol) made me feel dreadful. Then I discovered: If I lay down under my desk during first coffee break, put the headphones on, closed my eyes and listened to the hypnosis recording it afterwards felt as though I had just enjoyed two hours of really, really good sleep. And I felt good, really good and energized and interested and smart again. So, there is something to hypnosis even if it didn't work for quitting smoking! (I vape now, feel much better (and smell better (and there's no longer a thick yellow layer of muck building up on all the surfaces inside my computer system))). I'll bet hypnosis and meditation (which I have yet to try) share something deep.
What an interesting discussion. I’ve heard of Darren Brown but never watched his shows, but his analysis is extremely interesting. I suffer from tinnitus and I have for as long as I can remember. Apparently, tinnitus noise is not in your ears, but in your head and you can teach your brain to ignore the noise as most people’s brains do. This would make it a prime candidate to be “cured” by “hypnosis”. I wonder if the same could be true for chronic pain?

This is why I’m incredibly interested in states of consciousness, because if we could understand how these states effect us and how to put ourselves in these states, we could sort of take more control our stories, or at least understand more about who we are and how we work
I'm a clinical hypnotherapist and have studied human conscious for about twenty years. In fact I would call myself an explorer of consciousness. If you want to read a great book check out "Far Journeys" by Robert Monroe - he's got a few other books but that one's my favorite of his. He developed a technology called "hemisync" which synchronizes left and right brain hemispheres; certain frequencies can cause an out of body experience but there's MANY other uses for hemisync.
I'd also recommend the book "You Are Not Your Brain" by Dr. Jeffrey Schwartz (it's about self directed neuroplasticity). Neuroplasticity is how we learn and create habits - by rewiring the neurological pathways in our brains & self directed neuroplasticity is the ability to take control of that process. Only two things are required for neuroplasticity to occur, repetition and focus.
Props to Derren for his open, honest and fascinating thoughts about what he does and how it works.

Derren brown introduced me and no doubt millions of others the sheer enormity of subliminal thought. Brilliant entertainer that always leaves you with many niggling, puzzling thoughts and questions but just at that point he just disappears in a puff of smoke. Derren is a wonderful wizard.

Most people in Darren’s space come off as smug and shady. I was wondering if this podcast would expose Darren, but he is actually a humble and authentic guy. Definitely gained a fan.
Thats cool. But what about Derren?
@Hanh You're
You might enjoy Derren’s Tricks of the Mind book. Pleasant insight into his personal life, how he got to where he is & a good number of his actual tactics are taught for real-world use 🙂
It's quite telling that there's a lot of people in the comments who've met him and all say great things about him
I tried using that line when an aggressive guy approached me. Unfortunately he was a builder, who had just built me a wall outside the front of my house, only to 3.5ft and not the 4ft I'd requested.
Best comment on here.
😂
Love Derren Brown. I do so agree that the stories we tell ourselves are so often the things that delay our healing. I had a foot injury in 2018 that was looking like it might stop my running but I caught myself telling my dad all about it on the phone one day and realised that I was quite attached to the “poor me with the injured foot unable to do his favourite sport of running story” and in that moment shook myself so as to say “what the heck are you doing - you don’t want that story”. That instant shift meant the foot was fully functional again in 2-3 days.
Thank you for this story! I fully agree about the narratives that can impede or encourage healing 😊
The exact same thing happened to me only with tinnitus. I had a family tragedy that was a real shock on the same day I spent too long mixing a rock demo for my band with headphones up too loud. For the next weeks I had aggressively loud tinnitus in my left ear. I convinced myself it was permanent and I’d never be able to play in a band or experience peace again. I ended up having a free consultation with a tinnitus charity consultant. He explained to me how to adapt and live with it. The acceptance that conversation brought changed the narrative from me being passive and unlucky to courageous and durable. The next day the tinnitus was gone. Crazy.
Took the words Right out of my mouth!

wes dryden you’re not really here
I find it fascinating. When my 5yr old hurts his knee, I can kiss it and make it better, or rub it, or put a useless plaster on it, tell him that it’s all better now and the tears instantly dry up. I think that suggestibility starts when we’re children, and never goes away, for some of us at least. Having said that, I’m hugely sceptical about any of that stuff and I think I’d be a nightmare to essentially ’trick’ that way. But I definitely use that kind of distraction technique to convince my boy that he feels better lol
If you WANT sooth words to work, they'll work. Two levels to it. You are in a situation, you are susceptible, and then the placebo effect kicks in
I was going to say that falls more into the category of placebo as opposed to hypnotism...but if you look at the nature of the two, they’re both extremely similar. Almost indistinguishable from one another
Good Dad.
I’d expect that a lot of people believe that they’d be a nightmare to trick that way but soon change their minds afterwards.
@@martinbirkenhead3999 Using witchcraft on his son to trick him into thinking he’s fine isn’t good at all. That’s child abuse, and he should have his son taken away from him, and go to prison, but I’m just kidding. I’m sure he’s a good dad, even if he is a witch.
I absolutely loved Derren's live show in NYC last week - he is so intelligent and funny, it's a pleasure to watch him :) Maybe he hypnotized me, but I felt fantastic for days after the show :)
"One night I was walking on Highgate Hill when a drunk accosted me and kept asking, 'How beautiful is the moon' I replied, 'My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun...' He said that was a good answer, and lurched off. Shakespeare works quite well with drunks, I've found." ~ Sting
Derren: calmly and patiently explains for a solid 8 minutes about how we can never really know what people who are hypnotised are experiencing.
Joe Rogan after explanation: So does onion taste like an apple to hypnotised people?
If you make them approach it with the right mindset,,, yes... An onion, and apple and a potato all taste exactly the same if you don't stop to smell them first.

Wow, the tonality changes, moving from commanding, to slowing down, emphasising continuing words like ‘so’ and ‘and’, the pauses, the speed of communication, bringing up different states with his stories - Derren Brown is amazing at hypnosis.
Just rapid fire runs through pattern interrupts and controls the centre of attention.
Can you recommend a good training for hypnosis?

Derren Brown. The UK's finest mentalism performer. He's a bit hard to pin down exactly into a category though. From his TV shows and specials. Russian roulette, seance , the heist etc.. always something different and surprising. And always entertaining. Andy Nyman, who he works with is known for a few films and the stage play "ghost stories" recently made into a great movie.
“The wall outside my house is 4 feet high”.
Great, now give me your wallet and phone.
SLEEP!!!!
I really enjoyed this clip. I'm a Derren Brown fan and it was interesting to hear him speak so candidly with Joe, regarding hypnosis and his thoughts on it.
He trains you to wait on his last word, which he pauses before saying. He kinda talks like he's breathless but it's so at ease at the same time.
He put his headphones on skewiff to discombobulate our neural pathways. Be careful.
Love the use of the word skewiff. Under rated word😁👍
Are you joking or being serious?, And what does skewiff mean?

The fascinating thing about Derren Brown is how he normalises and understates everything that he does. It somehow increases his mystique because there's obviously something psychologically profound going on in his work.
Not really. He is just showing how easy it is for masters to shepard the sheep.
Humans are easily controlled, manipulated, tricked etc.

I wish that wasn't real but as I've had my own extraterrestrial experience it unfortunately is.
@@Probabilityislifetell us more on the experience. And spot on on the sheep
At one of Derren’s shows in Sunderland (England) there was a part where everyone stood up and he did a group suggestibility/ hypnosis bit where we closed our eyes and couldn’t move etc. But the lady next to me didn’t snap out of it when Derren told us to and was just sat there completely entranced with her eyes shut. It went to the shows interval and after 10 minutes or so Derren came up to the Upper Circle of the theatre where we were and came right next to me and was whispering to the lady telling her to slowly start drifting back and waking up. She eventually did and she looked so confused and embarrassed 😂. I think she must have just been in a very small minority of people who are very suggestive

The admin panel comment from Joe Rogan really made me a bit inspired. Thinking about all the things the brain can do. All the data it holds. The crazy things we see in dreams. The brain's ability to speed up and slow down time. It can actually speed it up quite rapidly!! It can actually shut off the processing of moments altogether and skip over time periods entirely!! But these siystems are automated, or results of us doing or feeling other things. Imagine having ful lcontrol over it....

Nobody wants to fight with a crazy person. Even if something like that obviously won't work as well for a regular dude, it's still effective I believe. Humans have a natural fear of crazyness/sickness and somebody who's talking randomly about a wall outside their house won't be seen as normal.

Darren brown,,a legend. You just got to love this guy. Seen all his shows and TV documentaries exposing all. Brilliant.
Check out his art
I want to listen to every audiobook just read with the voice of Derren Brown from now on.
I hold Derren Brown in awe. He is intelligent, interesting, humble, caring and a wonderful human being. When people ask me who I would love to spend an evening with, it's Derren Brown
Same. He's one of the celebrities I actually wouldn't be intimidated by if I were to meet him. I've read Tricks of the Mind and Happy, and it seems like he has a solid grasp of who he is.
Derren leads the conversation towards some really fascinating deep stuff, alas Joe drags it back to more typical lines. I'd love to hear more of Derren talking philosophy.
Derren's stage shows & TV series 'The Experiments' are brilliant. Some of the most unique & memorable TV I can remember.
Great clip. I really love his explanation. Having done some hypnosis myself this makes perfect sense.
The same thing happened to me when I was younger, a group of guys surrounded me trying to bully me... I looked up at a street light and said there they are they have just come and the confusion on there face was priceless. They started to walk off and left me alone.
Almost like a "Forgive them father, they know not what they do" moment.
I’ve been hypnotised by Derren!!! It was at the Bristol Hippodrome, he made everyone stand up & raise their left hand & to hold it there. He then tested the whole audience, in order to see who was capable of under the power of suggestion. I was one of 46 left in the theatre who couldn’t lower their hands. When he came to me with the microphone, he asked me how I felt…. I said “Shaky!”😹
Kill grave
Hey, I'm from Bristol! That's sounds awesome, I would love to have seen him live. Been watching his stuff for many years now, he is brilliant
When Derren got some bloke to sit in a bath full of ice, and enjoyed the warmth until he put his hand on the side, and all of a sudden, the bloke was shaking with cold, and when Derren took his hand off the bath, the guy was again enjoying the warmth. That is the power of hypnosis, and could be used to help folk get off class a drugs.
That was so amazing! I remember his na.e was Chris, and the show was called Assassin.
That experience also changed Derren's idea of hypnosis. Prior, he thought it was only behavioral compliance, but the ice stunt had him think that it could be a combination of a shifted mental state and behavior. People who have never taken ice baths cannot sit in one for that long THAT comfortably.
@MsAliciaR thanks, I didn't know that.
perfect description i been a professional hypnotist for some time now its great subject, I love to teach it online too
I watched this video when it was uploaded on 9 Nov 2018. and now my clock says its 27 June 2020. Last thing I remember was Darren clicking hes fingers.
'The Mentalist' show, is heavily based on DB.
So much dialogue is based on his insights etc.
There are mentalists/psychological illusionists, then there's DB.
This is why when you read technical journals it says that hypnotism doesn't really work, it's only suggestion. It shows how susceptible we are as a species to suggestion and that what we think and believe, that internal story we all tell ourselves, dictates our suggestibility in certain situations and topics.
The keys seem to be these interruptions in the internal dialogue either accelerating or decelerating Adrenalin. Just like we can't say hypnotism doesn't really work, we can also say the law of attraction, isn't a law... but yet seems to work.
Our perception is everything.
I think I’ve seen virtually all of Derren’s tv shows and some of the recordings of his stage shows plus I’ve listened to him in audio book form a couple of times but how he explained things here gave me a more nuanced insight into what he does and hypnosis in general. I was happy when Sam Harris announced he would have Derren as a guest years ago but disappointed that Harris completely failed to probe and ask deeper questions about hypnosis. They were just a couple of mates having a polite chat but Rogan actually asked questions, sometimes his questions seemed borderline naive but they still elicited an interesting response so credit to him.
Joe was trying to really understand and was genuinely astonished 😮
Was a big fan of Darren's 15 years ago. Admittedly, there have been performances that to me seemed to rely on a stooge (or on someone pressured into playing along). But I'd say the vast majority of his work is a composition of brilliant showmanship, great patter, skilled application of various mentalist's methods and indeed quite a lot of suggestion. Every magician offers a (false) explanation for his magic. Telekinesis was Uri Geller's for bending spoons. Darren's explanation is usually that it's all down to psychology. Sometimes it is indeed, other times there's a wonderful trick underlying it.
Stop trying to be a smartass by calling this man a fraud. He's an incredibly talented and skilled magician who's created his own niche of magic presented as a psychology. And look up his card trick performed for Stephen Fry, great presentation!
Is the full interview available somewhere?
Derren Brown is a Jedi. The handshake induction is awesome!!
After just having just read Michael Pollan's book, essentially what I am hearing here sounds like Derren has a variety of techniques for short circuiting someones default mode network. Very interesting.
Referencing Milton H. Erikson, then Richard Bandler or Grinder lends credibility to this guy. My dad turned me onto Erikson with a book about medical and dental hypnosis then another, which Ive forgotten the name of, in the mid 70s.
Bandler and Grinder came out with a series of books on NLP years later that made me understand exactly how Erikson did what he did, which he himself didnt truly understand. Erikson is the father of NLP...Bandler is its first technician.
I still think this man is the most skilful artist with his stage show. I'm not into magic shows but Darren Brown is on another level. Extremely intelligent and interesting.
He is lucky that we are not friends because I would bore the shit out of him with questions. For the people that see him, I think he makes life a little better.
Hypnosis cured my insomnia. I have not taken a sleeping pill for more than ten years now. I fall asleep every night in a most peaceful state of mind with effortless baby-like breathing. Plenty of sleep specialists to choose from on U-Tube.

Having formerly been religious, I now believe that most religious experiences are hypnosis, group hypnosis, and self-hypnosis.
Michael Finley not to mention confirmation bias, lack of understanding, and just plain wonderment for how amazing life can be, plus our biological wiring for wanting to believe in things that give us purpose and meaning.
People love a good fantasy.
I think the origin of all religions is the mind. We're naturally superstitious creatures after all
Its indoctrination primarily but self derealisation-depersonalisation dissociative, and hypnotic states happen during prayer and worship
Well, your're wrong about that.
@@RNCM_Philosophy Well, Jesus Christ DID EXIST. Everything else is up to you...
Show Hypnosis is completely separate from hypnotherapy. People often confuse this.
I feel like Derrent was realy onto something when he started talking about the differences between how suggestible you can be made to be depending on certain situations.
It is strange to me that Derren views hypnosis in this way. His knowledge is amazing and I have seen everything he has done. He is literally 1 in a million. The ultimate Showman
He's merely telling Joe an apt story. Notice he doesn't use the word 'subconscious' once, a topic he's surely been studying for 30 years
I also study hypnosis, and the thing is the more you know about hypnosis, the less mystical it seems. There does not have to be any formal process for someone to enter a hypnotic state. It doesn't require trance or relaxation, it's just suggestion, but being relaxed tends to make people more suggestible. It also feels very nice.
@@MsAliciaRL That makes a lot of sense to me as I have often noticed the way he gently taps people's shoulder etc every time he says some kind of 'key word'. A perfect example of this is the 'Christmas Present' routine with Simon Pegg. It was/is truly fascinating. However, I don't think I want to peak behind the veil as they say. I kind of like the mystery behind it :D
@TGFGamesta I get that. I still find hypnosis fascinating, even though my view is fairly similar to Derren's. Every hypnotist has a different definition of what hypnosis actually is, so you've just need to develop your own philosophy.
Whereas I find the views, like yours, to be the part that fascinates me. It interests me so much but I still don't want to 'actually' know how it is done if that makes sense. I like to see what others think and how they view things but I want to keep the magic of being blissfully unaware lol. What can I say! It is the mental battle of looking for an explanation but not wanting to know the answer. Akin to astronomy too @@MsAliciaRL

Derren*
I’ve always assumed most people are playing along on stage.
But one time at a Ren Fest, me and my friend were 2 of the people that volunteered, cause neither of us believed in it . And nothing happened to me. I didn’t respond to “sleep” or anything. And a few of us didn’t. And he sent us back to the crowd. But my friend actually responded and fell asleep, and then he made him do a few random embarrassing things with the other people. And after the show, I asked my friend if he was playing along. And he was really confused. And acted weird for like 30 minutes after . And when I explained to him what happened. He was even more confused. And didn’t believe that he had gotten hypnotized- he thought he was only up there a couple of seconds and then sent back to his seat.
He is a really close friend of mine. And not someone who likes attention or makes shit up, I barely got him to go on stage with me.
And to this day, he still doesn’t believe me when I tell him that he got “hypnotized”… and to this day he says “I don’t think I’m someone who could be hypnotized”
So I have no idea what the hell it’s all about.

I don't see anything mysterious here although the scenario itself seems a little weird and quite unusual (outside of employment or military circumstances I mean).
For most of my life I was generally of the opinion that hypnosis was entirely bollocks.
Until, in desperation, I made yet another attempt to quit smoking and paid for a hypnosis course.
No, I didn't quit smoking but...
1.
I noticed that for about an hour after each session I was feeling exceedingly calm and while driving home afterwards enjoyed absolute and total immunity from any negative emotional response rush hour traffic so often evokes.
2.
After the course I was given a recording of one of the sessions (which were each half an hour long).
At the time I had a regular, fun, well paying, mentally challenging day job but also enjoyed a vigorous social life that too often cut deeply into sleep time.
I always showed up for work on time but the lack of sleep (and sometimes the alcohol) made me feel dreadful.
Then I discovered:
If I lay down under my desk during first coffee break, put the headphones on, closed my eyes and listened to the hypnosis recording it afterwards felt as though I had just enjoyed two hours of really, really good sleep. And I felt good, really good and energized and interested and smart again.
So, there is something to hypnosis even if it didn't work for quitting smoking! (I vape now, feel much better (and smell better (and there's no longer a thick yellow layer of muck building up on all the surfaces inside my computer system))).
I'll bet hypnosis and meditation (which I have yet to try) share something deep.
What an interesting discussion. I’ve heard of Darren Brown but never watched his shows, but his analysis is extremely interesting.
I suffer from tinnitus and I have for as long as I can remember. Apparently, tinnitus noise is not in your ears, but in your head and you can teach your brain to ignore the noise as most people’s brains do. This would make it a prime candidate to be “cured” by “hypnosis”. I wonder if the same could be true for chronic pain?
I respect him speaking of the madness some may experience on these types of journeys. Hard yet real truths.
