Derren Brown- Russian Scam (explained) Video

I reply to a video where it seems Derren Brown hypnotizes a man into willfully giving up his belongings. I give an explanation for how this might have been done. Watch the referenced video first:

(Here's the original video link but seems to have died):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hwthqRJ1Khg

Notes on a few things:
- I noticed in the video I keep saying "pattern break" while "pattern interrupt" is the more common term.
- In asking the man directions he distracts him, but more specifically it causes the man to enter an altered state where he internally processes for an answer. Like with the handshake interrupt this puts the man out of his conscious mode and invokes a short trance state. Google "transderivational search" for more info.
- Giving the man the bottle is additionally a persuasion technique... I give you something first, then you give me something.

@Scorpionwacom no he would not? need to put a gum or knife to you because he would hypnotize you and it would WORK. It AWAYS does.

Harrisonmon ''nlp/hypnosis/psychological control stuff is? total bulls**t'' i? can't disagree more

hm. nice? video

I love people who ...
I love people who think that THEIR too clever too be fooled by NLP. Their just too good and not at all gullible like this fool. The beauty is it is THESE very people who are the easiest to influence and work with. It is those who want to be part of the act, who want to be involved and want to have it done? on them that, alas, we cannot seduce. One of lifes beautiful ironies.

I thought the ...
I thought the bottle would have been reciprocation as described in? "influence, the psychology of persuasion" by... I wanna say Cialdini? Can't quite remember his name.

Im not sure if any ...
Im not sure if any americans or anyone outside the uk actually knows this yet but as said below... The police released a statement saying he and his production crew WERE using blanks. Derren claimed that he was "risking his life" Fair enough he is an illusionist... and i know its not magic for obv reasons... But i didnt like the fact that he still lied to us willinly knowing that he? wasnt allowed to actually "risk his life"

The only ...
The only interesting thing about Derren Brown is that? his parents can't spell Darren.

It was revealed ...
It was revealed recently he was using blanks and? that no-one was in any danger whatsoever.

@Harrisonmon "He ...
@Harrisonmon "He does use hypnosis and nlp, I have read trick of the mind and other? stuff and the mans a flippin genius man"

DB would make one ...
DB would make one HELL of a successful criminal. Good thing he makes a s**tload on TV so he doesn't have to? do this kind of stuff to get by.

If I wanted to ...
If I wanted to impress the audience that way, I would hire an actor, who assists me. Than I would add some "theoretical basis" like hypnosis or some kind of mind control. On the other hand, the stupidity or rather trustfulness of some humans is infinite. Yes, I'm a human and my attention is not perfect?I may accidentally hang my chess piece in game, but Derren Brown would need to cut my pocket with a knife or threaten me with a pistol? to get my wallet.

From what I have done with covert Hypnosis with simple pacing and leading and anchoring,? this is not a surprising result.

thats nice....u ...
thats nice....u agreed that he is a genius....and also great? analsis....

@Harrisonmo Agreed ...
@Harrisonmo Agreed and I would addHe does use some NLP theory like using suggestive words and subliminal messages but that's about it. There is very little truth to NLP but in a limited sense it does have some effective teachings. What is so ironic is if you watch enough Derren Brown videos some websites try to use him as an endorsement even though he doesn't actually believe in psychological controls or NLP. Its like as if psychics used derren brown as an? example of a good psychic lol.

that guy's face in ...
that guy's face in the end is all like W? T F ??? lol

in my opinion the ...
in my opinion the biggest? part was when derren said u dont mind me asking then said no no ur happy with giving me that i think that he roots that into their mind then they are more acceptable with giving away wallets phones etc. note in the videoo he said ur happy with giving me that to every person who he tried the scam on

777771 views, wow? =O

i think you should ...
i think you should go look up the word illusion, scam is a harsh word to use. it would be like not saying magic but calling? magic scams

exactly like he did ...
exactly like he did when he was in USA and paid for items with paper. He only shows the couple of times it worked....not the hundred or so times it failed. So the viewer thinks it must work everytime. For it? to work you have to have the persons attention.....build up a rapport very quickly so that the person is relaxed and not on his guard.....and the use a pattern interrupt so that the persons mind switches to the subconscious where thay then just follow instructions.

I teach NLP and ...
I teach NLP and know exactly how Derren Pulled this? off as I have done this in A Shop to get items for free. It does'nt work all of the time and this is how Derren fools the viewer........he prob tried this about 50 times and managed to pull it off TWICE.....and its the 2 successfull ones he includes into his show, so the viewer does'nt know about the 48 times he failed.

only? works for the ...
only? works for the retarded.

OK....whatever..... ...
OK....whatever.....if derren brown handed me a bottle, I'd crack the sob? over the head with it!....hold your own sh!t....BOY!

@Harrisonmon i ...
@Harrisonmon i understand all youre saying, but you cant dismiss actors the way you did. he could have had them sign privacy forms so that they would be? sued if they did say anything.

@tricky12321 He ...
@tricky12321 He doesn't use stooges huh? Watch this video: lf82QOqJTt8 and then read my comments (if they arent deleted.) Then tell me he? doesn't use stooges.

@htomerif its ...
