I wish he'd explain how this works

MIND BULLETS!

Any show that explicitly says "NO ACTORS" means "WE PAY THEM LOADS"

Interesting and all, but someone pointed out in the Youtube comments that Derren Brown blinks at 1:48, and it kinda looks like he does, I dunno.
Either way, very interesting.

[WrenchClock]

Derren Brown sure is an evil wanker

That's so not the point. The interesting thing is how he exerts such intense psychological pressure on people without appearing to do anything in particular. I think it might be something to do with the way he holds their hand at the beginning.

And anyway I think they must have established some slightly unorthodox rules because when the second guy repeatedly looks away, they don't call off the match. They only stop when he says he can't go on any more.

If some creepy guy came to my town and started staring people down to the point of sickness I think everyone would have a torch in one hand and a rope in the other.

Same but with pitchforks instead of ropes.

Hanging is so old west.

Damn farmers.

Also whoa, evil bastard indeed.

[CubeMelonClock]

Impressive if real, for sure, but he doesn't explain how it is done, so I can't make a real judgement.

Haha, this is what I thought as well.

MIND BULLETS!

That's telekinesis Kyle!

[TheCheshireClock]

That man is amazing.

[Topcatyo]

The secret is while you're staring at him he's secretly kicked you square in the junk.

[TremcladClock]

I could beat him.

The point is that this pansy can't even keep from blinking quite noticeably without much delay.

Also, I don't buy any of this. Way too cheesy. Everything from the lame glow effects to the goofy 'psychic' music to the first-hand accounts of all these people using ridiculous cliches like "he had control over me".

It was incredib-wait, sorry.
Have to pause for product placement.
