Continuing on...how easy it is to believe in the unbelievable

Brilliant little doco, on how easily one can be swayed to change their belief patterns. I highly recommend watching all 8 videos.

Derren Brown UK illusionist, shows how gullable we can be!

Here's another video going through tricks.

I kind of understand how he did the last one with the boots. He talks about making the image "bigger and brighter" so you know it's going to be a big sort of object and then he says "it slowly forms in front of you", which would make you automatically think of an object near by or in front of you, then he uses his hands to elongate the object, so it's long, and so he gets the word "boots". Still can't understand it, but very clever nonetheless.



and look at this one too!



As you can see I have spent half the evening watching all these videos, they're amazing!



ok last one I promise!



I actually wonder if derren is still just tricking us audience to believe he is doing this trickery through psychology and mind games. Could it not be that the audience may really know what's going and is in on the act, but because he tells us that it really is just smoke and mirrors we find it even more believable. Just another way around tricking the audience, subconsciously. So really it's tricking the audience who thinks that they're not being tricked, to be actually be tricked. Confusing huh?
