I watched it on friday night and didn't get stuck to my seat, but my girlfriend did! It was actually rather spooky!

He did say on the show that it wouldn't work in lower resolution, i.e internet, so that might be why it didn't work for you.

Here here, oh hold on I think he made me say that, cluck, cluck.

I'm tired of his smugness, after all he is only another magician with a new twist on things. A Paul Daniels for this generation.

Yeah he is a smug dickhead. I missed the "stuck to your seat" thing but I may check it out on youtube. Just curious, why wont it work on youtube etc? Surely its the same thing/same "subliminal messages" etc?

edit - just watched "stuck to your seat" on youtube HD and didnt really work.. the only reason you might feel stuck is because he tells you to keep your head, hands and feet where they are.. which makes it impossible to stand up anyway regardless of the bloody video!

I've always enjoyed his shows in the past, but the Lottery thing was such a load of shite it's put me off.

Missed the stuck to your seat show.  I looked at it on YouTube, but seems he was right about it not working on the internet.  Or something.  :roll:

Like all of these things - you have to be a $%&#ing moron to fall for it. Fortunately for him most of his viewing audience are. He's earned the right to be in the same category of w**kers as Jeremy Kyle, Derek Acorah and Colin Fry.

I watched it. I found it hard to stand coz My ass went numb listeing to him drivel on about how people are thick and fool for everything.

I would have though that people would catch on by now. They just succumb to his wit and charm hahaha.

No, it works but not because of any mental thing. You cant stand up without moving your head outside of his "invisible circle" he tells you to sit in :P

The show was called How to Control the Nation.

And millions of people did exactly what he told them to...



Obviously his lottery show was nonsense, but I'm temped to think there will be some point to the shows as a whole when he's finshed this mini-series is finished. He's far too bright to think the majority of his viewers (fanboys aside) believe the reasoning he's giving in these programmes.

being one of those people who try and figure out how he does stuff, I think watching a youtube clip would do nothing, it's all suggestibility not subliminal messaging and I'd say the whole show is kind of aimed at suggesting you stick to your seat

although I wouldn't call you lot suggestible unless you got GAS

I did laugh my arse off when he started doing the hypnotism talk before the clip

went to see him on the last tour.   the ending was absolutely unbelievably amazing and had been really subtley built up from a throw away comment near the start of the show from an audience member (yes, most likely a stooge).  he goes for the big reveal, then just keeps hitting with bigger and more impressive endings.

i didnt enjoy the first half of the show at all, but the ending saved it completely

so i really wouldnt be surprised if there is something this is building up to

I like Derren Brown. I haven't seen the latest shows because of work but every where I go he seems to get the same response.

I used to work in sales and had things like Neuro Linguistic Programming and the like rammed down my throat so I can appreciate and pick up on some (and only SOME) of the things that Brown uses in his shows. He uses a clever, yet simple, mix of language, phrases and showmanship to do what he does.

He is great live too!
