TED
“Magic is a great analogy for how we edit reality and form a story — and then mistake that story for the truth,” says psychological illusionist Derren Brown. In a clever talk wrapped around a dazzling mind-reading performance, Brown explores the seductive appeal of finding simple answers to life’s complex and subtle questions.

Glad to see Jeff bezos know how to read mind
Oh my fucking god I'd kill myself if someone reads my mind
The only one i didn't like was the guy in the front row. He has a name tag. That's how he knew Allan. The rest was great for that reading but i wasnt shocked he knew they guys name and age
If we accept that "Psychics" can help to solve murders (there are many accounts from previous non believer cops who Psychics have helped solve cases), then why can't this be the same action. And if that IS the case, I totally understand why (he) would deny it.
Since it was TED, I was expecting him to go more into how it was being done…this was basically just his stage show. Shame on the TED organizers.
While this is entertaining, if you honestly believe he does not have prior knowledge of those in the audience or that those in the audience are not in on this or this is not just the power of suggestion, then you have not yet come to understand the trick. News flash, people lie and misdirect about claims to have no prior knowledge.
Just watch it for entertainment and have fun but please do not be deceived to think he is actually reading people’s minds, because he is not. He has a good understanding of human nature (largely that many of us are gullible and believe what we are told by someone on a stage), but he is not a mind reader.
12:00 can someone please tell me how
Yeah… I'm not buying this at face value.
Anyone can do this, it's staged, fake
Absolute Gold 🤣
Fighting for the Faith brought me here!
My question is .. "What's the point"?
How it's happening? I wanna learn.
Fakerooo
INDIA loves you
Without teaching people how you do it, it’s just foolish vanity
"…faulty tooth"
This man is a legend!
This is still so great. I also love that watching this again after three years, I start to think about it more. When he gets the name Allan spot on, first I thought it was just an educated guess that feels impressive, where he just says a name suitable for the age group that he has in front of him. But then I noticed all these people have cards with their name on it. He probably just read the name Allan of the card before he blindfolded himself and took a good look at the guy too. Doesn't explain everything he does next, but I'm sure that's part of it…
This is incredible.
He has the members of the audience giving him the answers to his questions and noone can see it.
The level of understanding human behaviour and what makes us tick is incredible.
all is can say is
bruh
Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.
I think when he said I'll take it to Jessica after saying a little murmur approval has made her she saying I'll take it I'm taking after he was guessing her age and it facilities things to him more by body language of both of them
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
is this guy a reptilian ?
We saw Mr. Brown live and I was part of the last act, brought up on stage and it was truly amazing and definitely an unforgettable moment in my life. People kept approaching me after the show to ask if i was part of the act. Truly a wonder evening ,Thank you sir!
How one can learn these skill ?
2:17 dubious lol

How do we know for certain Darren didn't pre-collaborate with the interviewees in the audience before peforming on stage?
How do we know for certain he didn't memorize the entire performance, and the cards just part of the narrative he supplies us with?
His only technique is to keep hidden the fact that spirits talk to him. He works with demons. That’s the only way this works. Anyone with a brain would know this.
This was a good one!
He just read a few letters before and asked his team to do research on the people he selected.
They used to burn people at the stake for this kinda thing.
