Found this over at the Eternal Silence forums. This would be something to see, and hell quite the bargin for only costing the price of the arcade game.

Old.

Liku · June 2005

It's news to me, that was nifty. IF it only worked.

lolfighter · June 2005

Yeah, we pretty much agreed that it's fake the first time around.

Comprox · June 2005

That would be sweet if it did work, sigh.

Gadzuko · June 2005

I highly doubt I would be that calm if I was one of his friends. I'd probably say something along the lines of "Where the hell are you taking us, what is this crap, why is he not moving" instead of just going along with it and barely looking concerned at all.

And how did he put him in the "trance" the second time around? That's never really explained.

Vulcan nerve pinch

Omega_Death · June 2005

Yeah my better judgement tells me it's fake but the awesomeness of it tells me "ignorance is bliss".

It's still cool though.

AlienCow · June 2005

Oh I like to think its real.

The friends obviously knew about it.

raz0r · June 2005

That would be so awesome if it was real!

Nil_IQ · June 2005

I'm tempted to believe it's real, if only because the guy seems way too freaked out to be acting.

actually.. he seems a bit too freaked out to be NOT acting... if i woke up there id be like... meh.. then id tell the zombie actors to stop being retards.... AND i would know that i was holding a paintball gun with a huge tank of co2 sticking out the back...

lolfighter · June 2005

Not to mention hypnosis simply doesn't work that way.

Geminosity · June 2005

if it was anyone but derren brown I'd be doubtful but because it's him I'm unsure either way :p

Cyndane · June 2005

Gemmy is easily confuzled don't pick on her. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' />

Is his show really that great?

Yes.

He hid little mental cues in one of his shows to make the audience and viewers forget each part of the show after they'd seen it.... and it freaking worked! I couldn't remember a thing about the entire show (and this was directly after i'd watched it) until I watched it again the next day.

Cold_NiTe · June 2005

So then he's some sort of master hypnotist? Maybe he really could pull that zombie thing off. But he'd have to do something to the guys friends to get them to be that complacent. OR maybe they've seen his show.

Geminosity · June 2005

well supposedly that clip isn't the full thing. They cut out the bit where they take their friends aside and explain what's happening.

Derren's a master of mental trickery; he pulls off crazy stuff to freak people out and he does work on psychology to find out how to really mess with the way people work using subtle signals and effects :o

Cold_NiTe · June 2005

Yes but flashes of light? If you really want to hypnotise someone, doesn't it require certain sounds and specific continuous/looped movements?

raz0r · June 2005

They may have seen his show, and recognised him when he came out, and decided to play along.

Cold_NiTe · June 2005

That was what I was thinking. I mean, all the UK people here seemed to recognize the guy. And those kids were around our age, sort of. So they may be the right demographic to have seen his show. I guess if some famous guy came up to me and was like, hey let's play a trick on your friend on tv; yes/no? I'd be like HELLS YEAH. So it really isn't all that odd. IF you don't know the guy, then no.

Agreed.
If that was one of my mates i'd have punched Brown in the face for sheer trauma caused. Sheer trauma or sheer faker... either way...

Fog_cartoons · June 2005

Imagine that episode of pkemon that caused everyone to go into seizure, that zombie game had the same basic idea in mind.

AlienCow · June 2005

Thats his problem now, being recognised eheheh. If Derren Brown stopped to talk to me in the street I'd be like "I've got my eye on you mate. If you try and take my wallet then I'll break your neck."

Geminosity · June 2005

alien, he'd just make you give him your wallet :p

This I realise. But it gives me an excuse to hurt him.

That's how his career will end, bloody and in a gutter, after trying to convince a hard-as-nails bloke to hand over his mobile phone. He's good at what he does, he'd get the phone. Then the bloke would realise and come back, game over man. Game over.
