    yeh didn't stick but my muscles lost some energy and i found it slightly more difficult to get up than usual.

    While I was watching the video my head twitched to the left twice, and my right-hand twitched once as well. But that was it :(

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 23,862 ✭✭✭✭January


    Three people in the room, two it didn't work on... the third did... he couldn't move and started drooling... weird... the second person started sticking his finger up the third persons nose...

    Yeah same here. A slight bit of doubt crossed my mind before I moved, but I can see how this would affect some people. Cause some people are idiots.

    I noticed the two images falshed were a man tied to a chair. Just before he played the video, anyone else see it?

    The most important thing to note in all this derren brown stuff is that peep show is on now. Thank Christ.

    Saw them didn't know what they were.

    Also the first ad in break just before was for iphone and I'm sure there was or two thing in it. Definitly in the scrabble one of the words was stuck.

    I like to see a poll here see how many people it worked on. Nothing for me.


  • Moderators, Technology & Internet Moderators Posts: 17,137 Mod ✭✭✭✭cherryghost


    worked for me.

    i hadnt noticed that my body was heavy/stuck, when he said to stand up, my dad and brother could, i couldnt. i couldnt move my hands at all :(

    i could rock back and forth but my hands were stuck to my legs. i started panicking a bit tbh, but about 20 seconds after he told everyone to stand up, my right hand gave way, then my left.

    my legs did get very heavy, and i did feel a bit odd........but i was able to stand,:(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 714 ✭✭✭Smyth


    load of ****e. 6 people in the room. Didn't work on any of us. What a shame.

    Your man giving Derren his shoes was pretty funny though. :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,736 ✭✭✭OctavarIan


    I could feel my lower back sinking into the chair and getting pretty heavy. Took some effort to stand up but I didn't get totally stuck.

    Interesting television though. Plus Peep Show after of course :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 647 ✭✭✭slasher_65


    Gonna have to rewatch it later. Give it a second go.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,448 ✭✭✭✭joes girls


    I thought the show was very good tonight, and still think its all building to something bigger, he is very good to watch.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,097 ✭✭✭✭zuroph


    it'll work on approx 27% of subjects who've paid proper attention in my estimations. just because it hasnt worked on some people, they could still be stuck quite easily in a one on one session. what I've noticed across the net is the larger groups together it hasnt worked as well as in smaller groups.

    It's back on at 11.40, maybe he will explain then.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,097 ✭✭✭✭zuroph


    if anyone is interested, I could stick most people to their seat via webcam!
    *awaits obvious jokes*


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,126 ✭✭✭homah_7ft


    Is it a direct repeat they are showing at 23.40?

    As far as I know it is the second part.
    He usually has them on separate nights.
    But I think I remember the C4 announcer saying last week that both shows would be shown tonight.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,448 ✭✭✭✭joes girls


    was only half ways into tonights show i started to see the little flashing images, think there was alot i missed. i would watch it again just to watch more closely.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,674 ✭✭✭Mardy Bum


    I couldn't get up for a minute on my second viewing first viewing just made me laugh at how stupid it was:rolleyes:.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,126 ✭✭✭homah_7ft


    Will have to tune in at 23.40 just in case. :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,849 ✭✭✭Redisle


    Guy on C4 Just said "What Derren Brown did at 9 o clock you can see again at 11.40. That's all Im saying"
    + the sky description is the same as it was for the episode earlier to think it's just a straight repeat.

    Tried this twice, C4 then C4+1. No effect on me but think brother got a bit dizzy or something.

    There are 4 threads about this programme running. He may be crap (he's not really) but he is being watched!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,389 ✭✭✭✭Saruman


    I recorded it on sky+ and watched it just now. It did not work, though interestingly when he played the "release" tone at the end my body lightened and tingled so perhaps something happened but not enough to make me get stuck.

    Interesting as I have hypnotised myself before so I was half expecting it to work.

    I think the method he used was less to do with the video and more to do with the two minutes before the video where he kept repeating instructions on getting heavy and stuck etc. Pretty much what a hypnotist does.

    I will watch it again with my wife some time and see what happens.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,448 ✭✭✭✭joes girls


    right here we go again....i so wants it to work this time!!!

    you can definitely be hypnotised, if it doesnt work, come back for the webcam demo sometime!

    Felt my body getting really light etc. When the video finished I couldn't lift my right hand more than a couple of inches from my knee and my whole body felt kinda drained. I was sitting up with nothing behind me as well.

    Would definitely like to give it another go with proper seats though.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 483 ✭✭9wetfckx43j5rg


    Didn't get stuck. Felt it get a bit heavy and wondered if I decided to believe it would it work.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,448 ✭✭✭✭joes girls


    It worked alot more on me this time, was able to get my bum up of the chair only by pushing with my arms, my legs from my knees down had no real feeling in them......that was flippin great!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,097 ✭✭✭✭zuroph


    Ok, next week, I'll look for some volunteers from here, and I'll do a full hypno demo via webcam, of hands sticking, amnesia, hallucinations etc etc.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,126 ✭✭✭homah_7ft


    I put my hand up to volunteer. :) or is it ladies only?
