He is an excellent cold reader. Turning the miss into the hit about the denim jacket was sweet. He sees the miss in their face so fast, and turns it pretty neatly.
Derren Brown is the closest thing we have to Sherlock Holmes.
Nope colin cloud is
Daniel Scrase that’s not true. Look at my name and say that again.
For now, maybe. Not for very long though.
@@sexymonster7667 Andi Taylor doesn't really scream private detective to me...
No closest thing to the mentalist - who’s based off of derren brown
He couldn't guess my profession cuz I'm unemployed lol
He could guess you're unemployed
mizofan fucking shutdown
roasted
LOL, these types of funny exchanges are why I'm hanging out on CZcams all the time.
Most comments are way better than the actual videos.
AntonioKowatsch that's so true
"That guy is protective of his girlfriend. So, he knows the danger around him. He must be a journalist" Wtf?
Journalists know the danger around them because it’s their job to report on it
One two three...... back in the room.....
@johnnytheprick ~ great comment ~ no thanks...... I thought everyone knew journalists don’t deal in truth.....
@johnnytheprick ~ it is holiday season here…. How’s this fir speed?
@@paulhargreaves9103 Only people who believe conspiracy theories.
I can guess the profession of the person who cut all the footage of him getting it completely wrong. He's a film editor.
+DrDeathpwnsu
You obviously havn't seen the show, he shows you clips of him getting it wrong during he end credits (He does mostly get it right tho)
No, I haven't. I seen the CZcams vid though.
*****
It does slightly. I won't deny he has a talent for this kind of thing, but getting 50% right, or 30, or 70, whatever, we don't know... Well that is definitively less impressive than the 100% we are shown.
DrDeathpwnsu
We are not shown 100% accuracy here. He shows you him messing up during the credits.
But his record is above 50%.
+hunsler1006 Big whoop - centre of London - Carnaby Street area - who does he expect to find out and about - hardly my binman, or the receptionists at the Doctors.
i tried this on the street! I saw some bloke riding a motorcycle and i told him he liekd to ride bikes.. and i was right.
😂
Absolute mad lad
Char Char Binks nah not possible. 4 wheels move the body but 2 wheels move the soul lol
That guy definitely wants to be a golf player.
Well to be fair with experience you can easily pick up clues from people. It's all about your observation skills really.
Derren: Hmmm miss, I think you are a........ STRIPPER? Lady:................... I work at a church
"... but you're right."
+I have no idea what I'm talking about but
Your name makes this comment 10x better
I suspect you are not Batman are you?
Not mutually exclusive. Just ask the Vatican choir boys.
Brown is a Witch Occultist Satanic sold his soul years ago his info comes from Satan , SATAN IS HIS DADDY
Can he tell me what im doing? Cuz I have no fucking clue...
Christoffer uddman hahaha hah comment section
!
It's elementary my dear haveaboat
First time I’ve seen a comment from the actual person be buried in the comments
@@drakonish3178 Is it Derren?
X notice the tick beside his name and the fact that clicking his picture takes you to the official Derren Brown channel.
You're brilliant Derren 🙂
@@user-yp3oj5se1i it's people behind the youtube account such as his managers
The Black gentleman's name is Benson. He is about 44 years old here. He's a nice bloke. I used to know him when I was 16.
but what the hell is police station security?!
Has he took up golf?
everyone believes you
Rahul Kemp - The clue is in the name.
police police police police police police police police
Go to a city on a Monday lunch time, walk around, watch who comes out of what building, remember them, go back to the same city the following Tuesday lunch time, walk up to those people you remember and tell them where they work, look like a genius, get home by 5pm in time to cook fish fingers and chips before Neighbours starts.
+Raskolnikov32 you're killing it , arent ya
+Raskolnikov32 what about predicting what the guy wanted to do if he wasnt doing the police work?
smidget whittington It's way easier to 'guess' that stuff in the age of social media. Remember, DB already knows what he looks like and where he works; it wouldn't be too hard to find the guy online someplace. He's a security guard, he probably spends all day tweeting about how he hates his job and wishes he was off playing golf instead. Although, just why someone with one tedious job would spend his days dreaming of leaving it all behind to pursue another even more tedious profession is beyond even Derren's abilities.
Raskolnikov32 good point.
Raskolnikov32 derren probably had a team do this, guy is extremely skilled but he doesnt claim to be anything special, he prefers to trick the masses with things anyone could do
Replaying 1:17 - 3:11 over and over - that last guy is fantastic! So genuine and personable. Most people I've seen seem to react to Derren a little cautiously, as if they don't want to give him too much in case he uses it against them, and they don't like being taken advantage of by others. Perhaps this guy's confidence comes through his job, but I get the sense Derren could trick him in any way and he'd love it. That look of incredulity at 2:53 = priceless.
Thought the same, but thought the reason was because he recognised him.
This is only 20 years ago but everyone seems a lot nicer than now.
Definitely. Less cagey. Less divided. Safer.
The magic of television mixed with some nostalgia goggles.
Back in my day everything was better... /s
“I can tell by his hair he’s not in the forces, he must be a journalist”
It makes no sense that DB narrowed it down to those 2 occupations.
The reason Derren Brown is so amazing is because he makes you, as an audience, think that he's letting you in on big secrets as to how he does these things, he lets you know how he gets these gullible people in the streets. The greatest trick he's playing is that he's also tricking you.
In tricks of the mind, he says that NLP, hypnosis, all that stuff is bunk. He has no high regard for it at all. He's an illusionist, through and through.
That doesn't make him any less amazing, though. X)
As James Randi said magicians are the most honest dishonest people in the world, they say they're going to fool you and that's exactly what they do.
So actually how he does this
@@arnav3257 He guesses a lot of people’s professions and edits out those he got wrong
I find the denim salesgirl one particularly interesting, for the way in which Derren starts by talking in the present term with "It's fashion. It's an assistant in a shop." then subtly changes it to "You selling denim? You selling jeans?" with a seemingly deliberate ambiguity in the way in which it can also be heard as "You were..." or "You are..." Maybe he isn't using these vocal and language techniques at all, maybe I'm entirely barking up the wrong tree. But it's interesting to study and pay close attention to, because it seems to me like he may be using an element of cold reading, subtly getting feedback from his words and adapting them on-the-fly to turn wrongs into rights.
The real life Sherlock Holmes.
See this is why I think he must be a fake, other wise he'd definitely be working for the police. Unless of course he is...
Surely catching rapists and murderers is a much better use of these skills that he claims to have, than making entertaining TV shows?
+maximthefox Lots of people can get these skills. He is profiling people the same way border security blokes do then cold reading (guessing). Cold reading is only useful as a party trick.
"Surely catching rapists and murderers is a much better use of these skills that he claims to have, than making entertaining TV shows?"
Just because you have one skill doesn't mean you are obligated to take a profession that uses it. Why don't all chef's work in soup kitchens? Why do some doctors become plastic surgeons instead of working with the red cross or doctors without borders?.
Even then cold reading is useless in any real application. It realies on the participant to ignore a billion wrong gueses only to be impresed by correct ones.
RDJ version
***** He gets his information from the security services.
Like how the old derren shows had really cool production and music
Great vids (all of them)! A little scary how one person can tap into and make use of all of these subtle mind tricks. I'll be watching. I think I'm hooked.
I would love to see him do more of this stuff
i love the way the guy says "i don't know how you do it" even though derren explains his thought processes the entire time!
"Take this man, he's wearing an M&S uniform, I'm guessing he works at M&S"
I like that he's not above introducing pauses and delays to see if the subject will get overwhelmed early on and simply tell him something vital.
This is amazing! Subscribed.
now imagine if Derren stops a Russian spy on the street
I wonder what happens if he just spotted a murderer on the street.
More of a hobby than a profession - not much work going in that sector these days
I’ve met a couple of good criminologists and they were able to read a lot of my behavioural symptoms despite being quite reserved. I don’t personally have a clue if Derren Brown has any real psychological training or how much of these shows might be rigged or bullshit, but if he has any kind of clue I’m sure he’d be able to spot psychopathic traits, whether or not that means that somebodies killed someone is different and would probably require a detective.
Wait... Wait... A face with a scar, a bloody dagger in left hand, a smoking gun in your right hand. Let me guess what you do for living. You have two jobs, butcher and a shooting instructor. Did I get it right?
Dylan Morgan
“able to read a lot off *my* behavioral symptoms...”
Your own, self-professed psychopathic symptoms, eh?
You my sir deserve a thumbs up. When wanting to see it easy. When in normal everyday life we do it to each other all the time.
He didn’t guess the last guy’s unspoken aspiration. He told him what to think and say.
just like sherlock :p
It is certainly is impressive, but I wouldn't put him at Sherlock level. Brown is great at what he does but he's a mentalist and if a magician is telling how he's doing something then he's probably either telling half truths or flat out lying. I'd be willing to bet that his talks with these people were quite a bit longer than what's being shown and in that time he was able to pick up clues and pull information through cold reading. Also notice that he never actually interviews the people he's talking about (like the "journalist") as he's explaining his his method. The viewer simply takes his word for it because he started off with a couple of successful reads and that's gotten us thinking in a pattern of him being right. Another way to increase his odds of success (though I'm not saying that he did this) would be to hang out in a business district and pay attention to what buildings people come out of as they go to lunch. If you know the kind of bushiness occupy the building they just came out of then you've got a head start. Clothing would help narrow it down a bit more based on if a more or professional or casual look and whether or not it looks expensive. Demeanor could help narrow it down further between a position of more or less power in their work role. Pretty soon you've narrowed it down to a hand full of things it could possibly be based on the location and you can take an educated guess from there. It helps if you're vague enough and just name the field and let them fill in the title. Most of the time they'll actually incorrectly remember it anyway when they tell their friends later and give you credit for being way more accurate than you were. The mind loves to embellish on what we remember. Don't get me wrong, cold reading is something that takes skill and a lot of time to get good at. I greatly admire this kind of mentalism (as long as it's not being passed off as supernatural) but I don't think that Scotland Yard will be requesting his services any time soon.
SpikeWolfwood It's fiction vs reality, you can always put fiction to a super high standard unobtainable by real people.
What he is doing is very impressive (the things he does besides cold reading are as well) and I wouldn't be surprised if secret services used people of his skill level, as this, combined with the skills of a true detective, is exactly what they are looking for.
He's a showman, a very good one (maybe the best cold reader out there) and you should always take showpeoples skill with not a grain, but a bag of salt.
As for the last guy, derren has already shown us how easy it is to make people want something that they didn't ever consider (that bmx video).
SpikeWolfwood I agree with everything you said; I think the great thing about this guy is his communication and influence. To some portion of the population, he is a wizard by chance. It is exercised very well; I would like to see how often it works as intended, and how progressive right answers enhance the agreeability of participants.
I also think his influence is a positive thing. As impressive as anything he dose can be I appreciate that he reminds people that it's all accomplished through tricks, observations and misdirection. There have been a lot of unscrupulous people who have used the same techniques to pose as "genuine" psychics in order to take advantage of the grieving, vulnerable and unaware. Not only is he a good showman with ample charisma, but the fact that he admits that nothing he does is achieved through supernatural powers is great for educating people against being fooled by those who may want to take advantage of them. Not just good entrainment, but a good introduction into concepts like cold reading, cons, scams and psychological phenomena such as the the Forer effect. That last one may be of particular interest to anyone who is partial to things like astrological horoscopes. I believe Derren Brown even did a bit about it a while back.
SpikeWolfwood dito
When i saw him live he didnt fail to guess anyone.
Amazing!! You're the best!
i cant believe it! i've seen this like 3 times and not once did i notice it, but now when i watch it it seems so obvious
Since when did police stations have security guards?
Ha I was thinking the same thing
Ben Mott Because the UK police these days are mostly pen pushers with soft hands and gel'd hair.
Its the same in the US embassy in London, They use cheep security at the door so if a terrorist attacks its just random causality that dies and not a police man or a US citizen
It's because the people who take care of inmates aren't police officers they are security officers.
It would be a massive waste of resources to have fully trained police officers standing guard at the station all day when they can just hire security workers at near minimum wage
I had a friend who was asked by a magician to come on stage. He did al sorts of amazing mind control tricks on my mate. For a day or two he stuck to the line that he really had been hypnotised etc. Then, he admitted that the first thing the magician had done was lean towards him and told him how much cash he was going to leave his pocket if he 'played along'.
Some real clever tricks Derren has!
OMG! nice catch!!!!!
The truth is far simpler than what they make you believe. Take this on board for a second and try it out yourself for the same effect. It's 5.30pm, Derren's been walking the streets since 4pm, observing these people inside their place of work, he waits until 5.30 - 6.00pm until they leave their job on foot and gets into position, he then boldly strolls up to them and 'pretends' to mind read them telling them where they work...BOOM! And as for the other revelations that come out , try getting one of the production team inside the place of work over hearing their everyday chatter who then can simply cherry pick an event and report it back to Derren. At the time I watched this I was dumbfounded on how it was done, 10 years later and a wiser brain you start to unlock things. The real magic of all Derren Brown's work is making us believe he has a super mind, NLP psychological wizard, who practiced locked away in a room for years - no, just effective thinking is what it comes down to.
I'm starting to think the same thing about him. Most of his "tricks" just seem too good in my eyes. I think someone should debunk this guy.
Absolutely, rekoJ, i've followed his work since day one, a lot of it really does become clear. Thats not to say that most of his stuff still dumbfounds me though! :)
It kinda sucks though i must say. I really wanted it to be for real. Do you have any idea how he does his mind reading tricks?
I don't think its fake I just think he fails far more often then he lets on.
What he does is real, it doesn't mean to say there is no simple method to it. I have also been to every stage show he has done to date, I know that this is they way THIS is done. He doesn't have magical powers you know, he is human and will find any way to fool the likes of you an me. There are some people out there who think he is on another realm, and thats exactly what he wants you to think. Trust me, the truth is far simpler.
Clever - but walking around Soho at lunch time wont take long to find HR people.
wow, you're right. amazing.
Wonderful !!!!!
I look employed, but lemme tell you a little secret..I'm not
bro, just use your magic tricks to create a job.
bloody hell, I forgot what he looked like with hair.
I could watch this for hours
Good job.
Even if they are going along with it, it still shows how he can manipulate people into doing things
The same way of what the government is doing today, coercion, manipulation, fear and control
The more realistic answer would be that he either guesses a lot of times and fails a majority of the time or that these people are followed leaving their place of work by someone else and that information is fed to Darren.
No, that's the more *cynical* answer. You'd be surprised how much of yourself you give away just in your posture.
He's not just coming up with all of this, he has to observe someone for a bit to get a gauge and he asks questions to see if he's on the right track.
LunarD3A7H I am not cynical, but you can call me skeptical :)
+LunarD3A7H think about what you just said, if you were to work at a certain job and would get this posture you are talking about that identifies you as that profession, then what happens when you switch jobs? Do you really believe that your posture depends on your job and every single job in the world has a certain posture to it and all other factors influencing you and your posture do not matter?
Really, people that want to believe dont question things, its the same for religion. Just believing it doesnt make it any true.
Of course you can read a people a lot by their posture and clothing, but mentalism usually is not "psychology on steroids" it is tricking people in one way or another and keeping them just on thee edge of believing it might be true (unlike normal magic where people these days tend to know that it is all about sleight of hands and gimmicks and it is always an illusion and not real power of magician). Mentalists usually get information about their subjects well in advance or use stooges for some tricks, or use normal magic but pretend that it is all psychology but it is same smoke and mirrors and other branches of magic.
No - it is induction, or inference. Deduction is where you take a number of premises and arrive at a single conclusion that, given the premises, is the only conclusion you could reach. i.e. p1) All men are mortal. p2) Socrates is a man. c) Socrates is mortal.
He is hypnotizing them.
Wild accuracy!
i can do this in my street: "dole dole dole"
Gregarious and nighttime outfit during the day = pr fashion person. Come on that is not enough information to narrow it down that much. This is nonsense.
robotpanda77 This is showmanship.
I think this was filmed in Soho. Everyone on the street in smart clothes round there works in PR or advertising.
Arty Lee Carnaby. The place consists entirely of fashion retail and PR.
Yeah, notice how he never actually confirms those guesses.
Butthurt. Lol.
I'm an IT Consultant and the networking administrator of a surgery hospital. I'm not sure what could possibly give that away, except maybe social confidence and attention to fashion and grooming, since I need to make excellent first impressions to new business partners. Maybe that would be noticeable, but lots of people have strong social skills and ways of winning over people on a first impression. That doesn't really narrow it down.
Amazing. Excellent mind reading skill
He looks a bit like Sheamus in this video.
I hope he wouldn't be able to tell that I'm a software engineer; that would be an insult!
Jinmane even your joke proves your profession ^^ (just kidding)
Jinmane y'all look alike hahaha
You my sir have a gift. You would not be so easy to control. You pick up the subtleties in voice and conversation. Well done my man.
I’ve seen five of Derren’s live shows…best money I ever spent…mind-blowing-Jedi-like wizardry…amazing…
I think he is doing some sort of hypnotism to make the people agree with Derren no matter what he says.
or he had someone ask these people about their jobs earlier and he already knows what they do before he starts talking to them
BLAZExSTORM or he is a gifted deductionist
Or he is secretly Sherlock Holmes.
BLAZExSTORM I like apples
you mean the hypnotism that happens while pieces of paper with numbers written wander from the show's budget's pockets into the actor's pockets?
"two legs, brown jumper, a mild mannered walk with a slight inner demon possession and eating a kit kat before 1 pm on a Thursday in December...are you a toilet attendant?....no?....ok, have you ever gone to the toilet? yes?...good....thank you....now for my next trick...!"
haha
fuck me this comment came close to making me shit myself with laughter.
I died xd
Amazing
Eyesssssss! Body language! Thanks god I am talented but I still have watch all your videos again and again!
I read in the last guy that he read his fantasy job wrong.
Why, i'm interested to know?
Federico Eiriz his reaction should have read complete and utter amazement. Instead he just quietly keeps it to himself and just went with the program. Also, microexpressions.
Jin Kazama Was he going well until he mentioned sports/opened space? (So it might have been fishing, hunting etc) or maybe was he just plain wrong from the start?
Federico Eiriz I don't know the chances of him guessing the right answers but all of this is just a well thought out trick designed to amaze and astound the audience.
+Jin Kazama Maybe he wasn't amazed but uncomfortable, taken aback and freaked out that Derren actually knew? Watch the last car salesman when he Derren guess when he was lying, he had the same type of "taking a step back" reaction /watch?v=khlz170_HWI
Omg he's just like sherlock
+da man the answer is: Memory. He has seen most of these people before
No shit shirlock
I loved that last guys face.
Great sport, the guy at the end.
ora ora temos um xeroque homes aqui
Now show us the ones he got wrong.
I've seen him get one wrong on stage. As a random person from the audience was volunteering for something he said "Are you a therapist or a counsellor of some sort?" and she said "No, I'm a teacher", so he was fairly close (a lot of teachers and therapists have a similar "look" about them), but he quickly changed the subject. Obviously the "misses" were edited out of this clip, but it's pretty amazing how most people reveal a lot about themselves by the way they dress or carry themselves. Everyone's trying to send out a message.
I've been on that site before. I got quite a bit out of it. The methods seem good enough. The premises might need to be double checked, though.
the last guy was waiting for him to go in for the kiss
It's fairly easy to cut out the wrong guesses and only use the successful ones. Anyone can be a mentalist with a camera and some editing software.
Tacbrovich true! Ask someone to name a number from 1 to 1000 and guess it. Keep on filming til you get it right and just show that one!
He does live shows though..
yeah he still does a tremendous amount that i havent been able to explain. Interestingly he never claimed to be psychic.. yet he gets more impressive results than those who do claim psychic powers.
Tacbrovich You obviously haven't worked out how much time that would take... filming every episode using a method of guessing a 1 in a thousand shot, and keeping the hits. Never mind the stain it would do to his reputation.
Simon0: Well "psychics" are fake anyway and basically use what amounts to psychology and magicians tricks to convince people. Keep in mind that Derren is a magician, so there's a trick to the stuff he does. He wants you to think he's just using psychology and stuff, but that's the magic wand and the "Abracadabra" not how the trick was actually done.
He is like a real life Patrick jane
My God, man, you're absolutely right! It's all so obvious. That copper at the end was really a detective on his tail and Derren just flauted his talents in front of him and the detective never even realised who it was. For the love of God, he's a criminal mastermind!
Wow that was amazing like really cool, i wish i could do that::)))
0:40 she has beautiful eyes btw ....
what if they were brown
Jack Black Then they wouldn't be as beautiful.
you have beautiful eyes sweetie *lemmie face*
woulda been so funny if hed said drug dealer for the last guy
I think that he works it out with an educated guess from the start and just uses his showmanship skills to make it seem like he is deducing it as they go along a lot more than he actually is. Makes it seem more epic that way. Still, great performer!
Bet the bloopers from this would be hilarious 😂. “Your a doctor, I can tell”. “No I work in Tesco, but thanks”
Police Security? The police are the security for civilians, so technically the security have security??
basically it's cheaper to hire a security guard to look after the police station rather than a police officer.
if police are there to protect people, and security protects the police.. won't that make security better than police?
noshah 26 this guy has got a good point
well im a goth head to toe in black with a long black leather matrix style coat. id love to see him to to guess my profession. (plumber)
+smidget whittington full time weaboo more like
google m8
lol....
Smidget i guess Virgin!
Hmmm I'm guessing from your style you like metal, metal tools, metal pipes. From your coat I can see you like flowy things, flowy coat, flowy water. Water, metal pipes, you must be a plumber.
I'd love to do what Derren does, but i just wish i knew how haha! he's amazing!
Omg I try and do this in my head on the train, doubt I get it right would love to learn how he does it
Well the first tart was no Einstein was she when Brown asked her.. "Do you know who I am or what I do?"................................
"No"...
So the cameraman and sound engineer weren't a bit of a clue then you dozey mare!!!
Well if you don't know who someone is a camera crew isn't going to help in any way is it? You numptey!!
That'd get you as far as 'you're on TV' but not anything else about him, & that's the bit that's clearly (1) not that relevant & (2) glaringly obvious, so it makes complete sense that she wouldn't say that :S
Had she answered yes would it really have mattered.
Darren Brown: Ok so you err.... so I’m sensing a smell something in garbage no no no errr ok I’m thinking, your on the street with your sleeping bag... oh oh oh I got it I got it... your unemployed and homeless!!!
What’s this song playing in the background?
That security guy is chill
he's got a devil inside of him, damn.
True, he'd got the Omen in him ^^
For more tips from Derren Brown on how to induce sever paranoia in complete strangers, please check out the related videos.
HOLY crap the last guy i guessed he was a cop and a sports player derren brown you inspire me so much lol
I do the same thing. When you have the data, conclusions can be drawn. The problem is the data is usually ambiguous or absent.
By the way, Sherlock Holmes is based on a real person, Joseph Bell.
Does anyone know the song being played over the top at the beginning?
it's hypnotizing people to say what derren wants them to say, not that derren konws what they are thinking.
1:22 "yeah security"
lmao he basically told him his job right there
Does anyone know what music is used in the first 30 seconds of this clip?
The guy was watching his ball fly, he saw him look into the distance
Remarkable 👌🏻
I agree! At 1:21 he says "yess I do" and at 2:20 he says "right"
I just bought your book derren :)
THIS IS SO CRAZY WOW
All police stations have security guards or just in the uk?
i have tp and so does he, i can do all of this stuff very easily, we can hear pl thoughts, and plant thoughts in there mind that they willl think and assum are there own
Im really interested in knowing how he does that . Please tell me :) Is it connected with psychology ? the way they dress ? How did u learn to do it :)
The secret is... are you ready... He asks them before they film.
