Paying For Stuff with Blank Paper Money
Wow, it doesn't look so hard.
What do you think... should we all go out and try this tomorrow?
Here Derren Brown pays for a $4500 ring with bits of paper the same size as money. Listen to what he's saying, too. It's an important part of it all.
Notice how he gets the guy to agree with him on everything, saying yes in response many times. In Conversational Hypnosis that's called a "Yes Frame".

Real Zombies
Imagine waking up inside a zombie computer game...
In this video Derren Brown puts some young guy into a real-live zombie computer game.
All the zombies are actors, the guy has a fake gun, and he believes the whole thing is real.
If you're anything like me you'll probably find the video rather terrifying, but sat at home watching on our laptop screens... it's actually pretty funny.
But imagine it was you...

- Great lens, I like it, haven't seen much of him though I am in the UK. I think there is so much we don't know about the mind that I am sure it can be manipulated into believing things. You know when you watch a movie and you think the main character is stupid for not believing in whatever evil baddie is in the movie? Derren just makes it real life. This as recommended on the pay it forward topic in Squidu. Great lens :)

One example would be the show where he has someone stamping on disposable cups and under neath just one cup was a broken bottle or knife sticking up, now we all know our health and safety laws would never allow this - lol

It was like he was using subliminal messages to trick her into picking what he wanted. This guy is pretty clever. I am glad I found your lens, time to watch more youtube videos. Thanks a lot. 5* from me!

- The freakiest trick I have seen Darren Brown do was the one where he had a guy play a video game where he was shooting zombies, and then made him go under, and then made him think he was playing the game in real life. He put him in a building and had people acting like zombies go after him.
It was actually very disturbing. Crazy stuff.
