Haha, that happened to my mother in law.

Me and Gav were watching it and got quite pissed off that we didnt get stuck, then we turned round to see Lily panicking like hell because she couldn't get up. It was cruel...but we found it so funny :laugh:

I'm convinced that was self fulfilling prophecy. The whole thing was "how to control the nation" not "how to get stuck to your chair" and he did that by default

I'll be watching tomorrow though, I think he's brilliant. I'm seeing him live next time he goes on tour

Shardlake

I remember the roulette wheel fail, I was pretty shocked lol

That just went to show that he's genuine imo. No Las Vegas style Illusionist would have dared do that live without first setting up that they would come out looking like a genius. He failed and he took it on the chin.

The lottery show he did still makes me laugh, there were people all over the place that tuned in expecting him to reveal some simple brilliant way to win loads of money with a earth shattering system, and he just babbled on confusing the hell out of people :joker:

Thats exactly how I saw it and how I see a lot of his stuff. His thing is 'mind control' and he would have had millions of people doing every single thing he asked them to at the exact same time.

He is the best showman I have seen in my lifetime.

Cannot wait for this, looks like his best show yet!

Shardlake

This is one of his best ever shows and shows just how good he is at what he does.

The part going into the halfway interval is just pure genius and baffled everyone watching (I saw him do it live)

I think it was all psychological stuff. If you believed it or got a bit scared incase it happened...

If you were in any way skeptical...or really over the top wanting to be stuck, it didn't.

Seemed to work most on impressionable people. The callers who rang in were saying about their kids and that.

I really liked the horse racing system one.

Everyone was so confused...and thinking there was really some way to cheat at the races...and then he revealed how he did it...yeah, he did have a system, but I doubt anyone would have guessed what it was :laugh:

He could do what he is going to do with this man without this whole 30 days thing.

well it's his loss i guess, but some gays do have strange taste, like i fancied this guy once for years but he was all aloof and stuff and then i met him years later and he was with this massively fat ginger bald american who looked like a pig, but there still together and stuff. i think the big ginger guy dominates him or something. ...wonder what derrens bf is like....still it's cool you had an intimate encounter with him.

Well that was disappointing. I was expecting a live aeroplane landing or something and he was just at that hangar for nothing.

They wouldn't be allowed to do that though.

Yeah, the plane in the background during bb, false advertising.

I bet he gave that bird of his a couple of good ones during his HERO week. I bet he landed his plane on her runway.

I thought it was great. Maybe a bit unbelievable but then again most of Derren's shows are, let's be honest.

Regardless of whether it was staged or not, it was a great show and once again Derren delivered.

The time is "8,9,10,11,12"

Ooo so will there be another Derren Brown show in 30 days time?

As far as I'm aware, yes.

Is there people out there who actually believe that the guy landing the plane wasn't involved?

We said while watching it that we thought it was all one big act, it was very wooden acting by the young guy too, but it kept me gripped just the same.

I've just watched it. It might be fake, it might be real. We'll never know. Derren has delivered yet again and he never fails to get people talking about his shows. I do agree that it was set up, but will it stop me watching next month? Definitely not, and I bet thats the same for loads of people

Derren IS and will ALWAYS remain a LEGEND. :love:

I read a post on DS earlier where the poster was saying the purpose of it might just've been a motivational show for people with low self confidence.

And you can't argue with the principle of that, really, regardless of whether it's fake or not.

This show was anticlimatic. I realise they wouldn't have actually let some guy land a plane live on TV, and I realise what the message was but it really did not need to be live!

I said this to a few people already that him standing in front of the plane engines was just distracting and the only thing that had a (marginal) impact about being live was when he said "It's 8/9/10 and 11:12pm"

I found the whole thing mildly entertaining but I just couldn't engage with it at all. I just could not suspend my belief long enough to accept that this guy was so malleable and suggestible that he could walk out of his house in the middle of the night, have a conversation with Derren Brown, go back to bed and think it was all a dream.

If Derren Brown had such powers of suggestion he should immediately be seconded to MI5, or be employed by the government as a propaganda minister, or train spies for covert missions or.....you get the picture.

Maybe he does all that during the weekend.

You're right though. I like the premise of it but it wasn't executed that well and him constantly hypnotizing people stretches believability
