How To Hypnotise Simon Pegg - Derren Brown

if i was friends with derren i would have serious trust issues

Re-watching this is amazing when you notice the entire room of bike themed subliminals.

I like how he says "I've got no need for a leather jacket" with SUCH sincerity, to convince us (and himself) that he would never have written that.... but does not realize he has NO NEED FOR A BMX BIKE EITHER!

You got red on you

From like 2 minutes on he looks genuinely distressed. Like he knows something is happening and it's scaring him but he can't put his finger on it

The way this is Filmed, this looks exactly like an episode of Spaced.

1:29 "handlebar" 1:31 "what to saddle for" 1:37 "re cycle the same two tired (tyred)" 1:47 "bike" 1:52 "pumped up" 1:56 "Beam excitement" 2:17 a really nice car like a BM or an xbox..."

I dig how early-'00s everything about this is.

My brain just shat ittself

This actually makes me afraid to ever meet Derren Brown in real life.

Thanks man, hypnotising Simon pegg was on my bucket list.

Wow this video totally reminded me about how I've always wanted a red BMX bike

i spotted the point when he said ''you could get a nice car or a bm X.. box''

We all think "our movie" in our heads is so real. Derren just comes along and works with that.

another thing he does here in addition to suggesting things while talking is that he puts him in a suggestible state by interrupting the handshake quickly and instead of shaking his hand he puts it down on the table. The way this works is that unconsciously we know what we are doing when we shake someone's hand and by interrupting that unconscious action, it puts the person into a more unconscious state where they are more open to suggestion and more easily influenced by things they the don't consciously notice such as the bike themed room or the language derren uses to implant the idea of a bmx bike into his mind.

I've always wondered how you hypnotise Simon pegg

The colour was obviously going to be red 😂

You know, as skeptical I am about this, I love the clever subtle puns

Always great to see this. Watched it like 100 times and still cant stop watching it. Derren Brown is an extraordinary performer and he never fails to amaze and inspire me.

It was the touching of his shoulder ,locking him in, the rapid hypnosis induction handshake, the wrist pressure and constant dialagoue mixed with the external visual cues , Derren's linguistics are unbelievable and not easy to master to the level of ease he just spews out subliminals off the tip of his tongue as if its daily conversation. . Much more than that went into this . Incredible to think .
