For Derren's Next Trick (Fri 18th)

[Tacita]

If I watch it at all I will probably do so sitting on a sofa. If at some point he requests viewers to stand up to prove they are stuck there I'm not sure I could be botherd. So hes got me already, the clever bastard!

He's got me too. chances of me getting up without a hoist

 

[quimcunx]

TBF he's only doing what urban does to me most nights.

 

[pengaleng]

correlation =/= causation

It is very very easy for a good hypnotist to make it feel like you can't get up. Fuck man, I've made people think that they can't move their arms before, and I've only watched a few videos on hypnosis. I do it to myself on a regular basis when I want to get into a deep medetative state. Muscle catalapsy, it's VERY easy to do. It's just the ego thinks that it can't be "duped". You watch, there'll be some kind of subliminal flashing that you only just see, and certain suggestions about feeling very heavy, knowing that you could get up if you wanted to, but you just don't feel like it.

All hypnosis is self-hypnosis. People's expectations of what Derren can do will be the main factor in whether it will work or not.

 

[xes]

very true.

Ok, so people watchign this. I want you to say in your mind over and over a few times. "This WILL work, I WILL be stuck to my seat"

(I won't be watching it, it's friday night ffs!!)

 

[quimcunx]

You're ruining it for everyone, xes.



You're pissing on our parade.

 

[Obnoxiousness]

But what if we can't get back up?

It would be sensible to have a phone within reaching distance. I wonder if NHS Direct will get a few calls tonight from people who cannot stand up!

 

[xes]

you can still watch it Quimmy, and it'll still be good. It feels really nice to be put into a deep trance. It's like one of the only times where we allow ourselves to be fully relaxed

 

[quimcunx]

I've been hypnotised before, xes!

Eventually you will die.

 

[Awesome Wells]

Mummy, I'm scared.

 

[Edie]

[quimcunx]

[fogbat]

Bring it, Brown.

Fucking bring it

 

[quimcunx]

I immediately chose 19. As they were coming on stage.
Hmph.

 

[Pip]

I'm breaking my Derren boycott because I've got nothing else to do

 

[killer b]

did it work?

 

[Pip]

did it work?

Well I just got up for a wee, so not so far.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

he can stick me to a sofa anytime luv.

I don't think he'd want you foo. He's not into ladies

 

[killer b]

Well I just got up for a wee, so not so far.

would he have paid the cleaning bill if you hadn't have been able to get up?

 

[Pip]

would he have paid the cleaning bill if you hadn't have been able to get up?

I should have thought about that where there's blame there's a claim

 

[quimcunx]

I'd better not be giving away all my money to the next beggar I see tomorrow!

 

[fogbat]

Oh, I really fucking love him

He seriously fills me with joy.

 

[quimcunx]

Are you gay for him, foggers?

And are you drunk?

 

[fogbat]

A) No.
B) Slightly.

 

[fogbat]

Those "test viewings" were bollocks, though, weren't they?

 

[quimcunx]

Should I risk watching the film on my own?

 

[5t3IIa]

Oh ffs I can't be arsed to put the telly on
