Who is Derren brown?
Derren was born in 1971 in Croydon. It was a difficult birth: his mother was in Devon
at the time. A precocious and puzzling only child for some years, he liked to paint,
foster obsessive habits, and once set fire to a neighbour's boat by accident. Later, after
his brother was born, Derren went to study Law and German at Bristol University and
fell in love with the city. This was still at the time when marriages between man and
city were frowned upon, so rather than risk public derision, Derren decided to just live
there after graduating and vowed never to leave. During this time he didn't have two
pennies to rub together, which was a shame as it was his only way of keeping warm.
He began to perform magic in bars and restaurants, and gave occasional hypnosis
shows. Meanwhile he continued to paint unflattering portraits of the rich and famous.
In 1999 he was asked by what was then Channel 4 to put a mind-reading programme
together for people's televisions. Their first choice, Cheryl from Bucks Fizz, had
turned out to be shit at it. A year later, Easter 2000, at ten in the evening, Derren and
his family gathered round a fuzzy grey picture on the corner of their living room. It
was of the once popular actress Nerys Hughes, and this had become something of a
festive tradition. Later in the year, at Christmas, 'Derren Brown: Mind Control, with
Derren Brown' quite literally aired. It was an immediate success, and gained Derren a
cool, underground kudos which he described as "not enough".
Mind Controls 2 and 3 followed, then a series, then a brief spell in prison, and then in
October 2003 Derren caused an international furore with 'Derren Brown Plays
Russian Roulette Live'. This secured his notoriety with the public and his big
apartment in London. "Bristol can shove itself", he said.
The Seance followed soon after, which was Derren's first look at the area of
spiritualism and paranormal phenomena, and the first show where his intelligent
scepticism could be expressed. Derren says of the show, "By now I was properly
famous and could pretty much buy whatever I wanted". Further specials have
followed, including 'Messiah', which took him undercover to the US to see if leaders
in paranormal belief systems would wrongly endorse him as the real thing.
Since then he gets several letters of complaint a week from psychics and Christians.
He is sensitive to everyone's objections, but knows that at least the latter group will
forgive him. His workload keeps him exhausted and irritable 52 weeks a year, and he
continues to live in London with a large collection of taxidermy and two rather
fatalistic parrots. He spends any free weekends painting and likes to receive gifts,
which should be sent please through his management.
Basic Suggestion Skills
In one radio clip Derren Brown does a effect where he seemingly sticks someone’s
hand to a table, this is very easy to achieve it all works on the principle that if you tell
someone “NOT TO THINK OF A BLACK CAT” they have to subconsciously access
the image of a black cat in order to understand what you are referring to.
Rather than to explain exactly how Derren does this effect in that particular clip we
shall explain how you can do this effect.
You take someone and tell them you are going to do something strange, not telling
them exactly what it is…. and just to “press their hand into the table”
So if you then make statements about “their hand been locked to the table”. and then
lock this command by saying that “the more you try in vain to un-STICK it from the

table, the tighter it sticks” then you give them an opportunity to “go on try in vain, but
the tighter it sticks” also metaphor about their hand been “glued” or melted to the
table just like you have to access the image of the black cat to understand they need to
understand what its like to have their hand glued to the table to be able to understand
what it is that your referring to
The Hand-Stick – Derren’s exact words with comments (below)
The hand stuck to table is more classic hypnosis and if you have a reasonable
grounding in hypnotic language you will understand what is going on but as you
asked GiLes here is my interpretation of what is happening - along the way this
will familiarise you with Pacing, Leading, Embedded commands and more (and
while we are at it forget the magic books, buy a copy of Patterns 1 by Bandler and
Grindler that outlines the hypnotic language patterns of Milton Erickson -
guarantee you will be able to stick peoples heads to their hands after reading it).
Patter:
(said quite rapidly
) Just put your hand on the desk to there in front
(Direct command - if she does it it shows she is accepting your suggestion. In the
same way if you are going to put someone in a trance it is useful get some
agreement from them such as Put your feet flat on the floor...put your hands on
your lap...close your eyes when you are ready to go into a trance - Yes Yes Yes)
...now I'm not going to hypnotise you...
(Embedded suggestion/Confusion/get rid of anxiety - by telling you what he is not
going to do he is suggesting that he is going to do something, this creates doubt
and expectation. Also by emphasing words he is saying "
I am going to hypnotise
you
". Also by saying this he enables OLga to relax if she has any anxiety about
going into a trance.
but I'm just going to
(Haven't listened to it yet but so many of these words could
be emphasised or marked out by tone or turning the head one way of another such
as - JUST GOING - later you could emphasies the word TRANCE or NOW or
anything else)
show you something that is interesting...
(Creates curiosity and expectation that
something will occurr)
and is a kind of psychological trick...alright?
(Alright will be followed by some
kind of communication from Olga, that yes she undertsands and she is happy with
things so far)
...
just press your hand into the table
(Direct suggestion - accepted. Into the table -
how do you press your hand into the table - this suggests something other than rest
it lightly on the table does it not?)(pause)... (Olga is doing the work here - by
trying to figure out what is happening - subconsciously or consciously she is
beginning to get a clue where this is going)
ok?...look me right in the eye
(pause)...(Derren will be looking at her confidently
and, I know I keep using this word, congruently - probably looking straight
through her with the clear expectation that something is about to occur. This will
create some confusion ' why is he looking like that - it is also another direct
suggestion that she accepts - it also takes her concentration off her hand which is
pressing into the table and by now will have begun to go cataleptic - let me know if
you want an explanation of this. It is important because the effect he is gong for is
