Re "Did you see the one where he ran a management training course but trained them to commit armed robbery?
Yep. That was very, very impressive! Re "Or the one where he strolled round town mugging people by politely asking them for directions and then asking for their car keys and wallets!": Yes, again. That "confusion" technique is being used by criminal gangs to mug people for real. Now that we've seen Derren do it we wouldn't fall for it . . . would we? Did you see the one where he zaps a guy playing a video game and then puts him into a "real-life" situation where he's being attacked by zombies?

How did she do that?": Search me. One possibility is that the camera crew following the old geezer can let her know what's being touched and she can then add subliminal suggestions in the chat she gives to his wife. (Don't forget we're seeing an *edited* version of what's going on.) The rest of the series (another three episodes) is also posted on YouTube and the others are even stronger than this first one. Yes, like you, although I'm entertained by this kind of mind control it is also a bit worrying that people can be so easily manipulated without being consciously aware of it. Makes you wonder how far we're being controlled in our everyday lives. Derren Brown could rule the world if he wanted to. Maybe he already does. Did you see the one where he ran a management training course but trained them to commit armed robbery without them knowing? And they did it. How scary was that! And on the last Channel 4 show he did he worked out someone's mobile phone number by doing card tricks! Or the one where he strolled round town mugging people by politely asking them for directions and then asking for their car keys and wallets! I love this psychological manipulation stuff, it makes me think there's a key to people you can work out and then do what you like but I'll bet he just wants it to look like that. I also like to think that it wouldn't work on me, but don't have much confidence about that. Clearly we really are all half aware. I've only seen a bit of this K Mills video so far but the dwarf policeman stunt seemed like the sort of thing that can't be misinterpreted all that easily! You either guess it right or you don't...
