This is my favourite treat of all - I'm a manic quizzer. It's true that answers can just pop into your head without trying. Our team was once asked in which decade Tolkein published his LOTR trilogy, and '50s' just appeared in my head, as I had read it somewhere - and not recently, either. It had been about ten years before, when I was trying to read the trilogy itself. Unfortunately a team mate thought it was the 60s, and I started to doubt myself, so we said 60s and lost the point. Thanks to that, I now insist on going with my - or any other team member's - gut instinct, in lieu of a solid 'I know this' answer.

I love how that sign said "hell here", you tricky Derren.
I really hope he put this stuff down in a book somewhere because I really want to try it myself. Looks ultra cool to me!
I am confused , bacauce he wrote about this method in his book "trick of the mind" and there he explained how he went in a class which was supposed to teach people how to process massive amounts of information and expand their memory. The method was the following: they were thaught to only look at the pages of the book and to create a mental picture of them without any reading. Derren said that this was absurd, fake and does not work like that... Not sure how he managed to pull this off.. Maybe he used suggestion to make this guy answer his questions in the beginning , but how he won 2nd place in the pub quiz is beyond me. Incredible... I would love to know his tricks and how he did it. Derren is freaking legend, love him so much. Cheers!

I used this method of cramming for my year ten certificate and got a 98% in a subject that I never listened in. I tried to explain it to my friends as "you're not memorizing one thing in particular, you're remembering things you already know that are linked in your mind to the new information''. Anyway, I did it and they all thought I was crazy.
How amazing was that? I have watched several of these type of Derren's missions on tv and missed this one and probably a few others. What an experience that must have been and what an incentive to go on and learn more. I struggled at a good Grammar School and left as soon as I could at sixteen. (I'm 61 now). I would love to go back and do my GCE's again having learned like that!
I need Derren in my life so much always love watching him live xx
Great feel-good run. That wistful look in his eyes. Really lovely.
Just watched the whole episode, tv never gets any better than this, or when Derren comes on.

That's because university isn't just learning facts. It's more about skills really.
A similar thing happened to me in school, I was doing a Physics GCSE and didn't know anything so just skimmed over my books the night before. During the exams all the answers just seemed to come to me and I got all but one question correct. I can't remember anything from those books now though
Just to clarify one fact that Derren makes, the quiz master is the only one in the room that knows the questions beforehand, notice that Derren or a team member that may be controlling the device isn't in the room, and why Derren didn't say just "the only person who knows the answers"

I think sometimes this happens to me in general, not with everything of course. But i might read something, then a day or so later i'll have a conversation and i'll bring up what i had read about, and the information just comes out of nowhere, even though i made no attempt at remembering what i read.

Possibly the only book he's reading there (assuming he is reading them) is the big red book at 7:41 - The Penquin Ultimate Trivia Quiz Game Book. Not only is this full of general knowledge which he needs to know (in comparison to thick books on one or few subjects), it's actually a book that quiz hosts often carelessly use.

I remember using a mind palace briefly. I gave up on it but it helped sometimes. I just don't have much of a use for one.
This shows that everyone has superior qualities so called, it's really up to you and based on your thought processes on how it manifests or how one triggers it....

THIS IS HOW IT WORKS. 8:22 in slowmo. 319,pic of hummingbird, car and fax. Guy was given cues just like you have in this video. Brilliant Derren Brown. I know how this sutff works but enjoy the excellent routine anyways.
I can't believe no one notices that the way those Trick or Treat cards are written, they can say Trick if held one way, and Treat if held around the other way. Pause on the card, then turn your head and it will say the opposite word. It's Derren's choice what they get.

Do you remember which ones?
I'm sure what Derren did here was took a reasonably suggestible person and taught him the 'Linking' technique which he explains in his books. He will have taught him this technique subtly without the person realising. Everything else like the speed reading is just misdirection. This is confirmed with some of the things the subject says. Clever editing as always from Derren's team and although the actual linking technique might be quite simple, it is still the main idea for the idea of the show - that trying to remember a long list of words (or answers to pub questions in this case) can be easy to do even though you may believe you aren't the best at remembering things. However, it does mean that Derren needed to know which questions would be asked and i'm absolutely sure he does know.

I agree and Derren is a mentalist, NOT somebody claiming to stick to some moral code. If you watch any number of his shows it is pretty clear these are more elaborate mind f*cks than what we are being told. Sometimes he explains them and sometimes he doesn't but when he doesn't it is to prove the point that with the proper training in deception techniques you can convince people of anything.
The way that he remembered the SHOES sign is the same way that those people who wake up after an accident and can speak a new language works. They think genuinely that it's supernatural or a past life - but it seriously is that they see small things throughout their lives and it's unlocked In a way
THIS IS LITERALLY MY LEVEL OF DRAMATIC
This is incredible
Come across the pond, mate! Would love to be a part of these videos
the treats make me so happy
This made me smile so much! :D
Could easily be me... I think (most probably not though) I have some knowledge how it is done, it is still amazing to watch... It is like I did a really simple trick to an "amateur" magician... and watched he's mind got "blown"... i was ashamed to show him how I did it because it was so simple.... and what he did was for me "mind blowing"... so my lesson learned was it is not how complex the trick is, it is the way you perform the trick that makes it a good one or not. And even "tricksters" can be "mind blowned"... We are just people... Derren is just the master mindblower :-) And I love it! can't stop watching him...

With that entrance, what is the chance that Derren Brown is literally the devil messing around with his own show? He's got the suave look for it.
Nice!
some questions in the quiz very easy, some obscure.
The text seen at around 10:05 is from the "Tate Etc" magazine, and not from a book (unless there's a hardcover compilation edition of the magazine). The second book is the Reader's Digest Book of Facts (you can see the cover), but the text seen in the closeup seems to be from a website (the "new world encyclopedia"). I don't think those closeups are what's on the actual pages.
Ordinary Man:"I am feeling that that's the most bizarre episode of my entire life." It is just another weekday for Derren: "Fantastic, okay"

They're pretty easy quiz questions.
The Sheffield Wednesday question (maybe others too) shows that this couldn't really have been done by somehow absorbing masses of information from a load of books, since it relies on combining two distinct (if seemingly related) facts: which teams are not in the Premier League at the moment, and of those teams which has won most league titles?

Črt Sužnik The umbrella term for such techniques is "mnemo techniqes", and specifically we are here dealing with the socalled "photo reading", a method of speed reading. There are lots of YT videos on these subjects. And about "the writing on the wall" - there is nothing really strange about that and we also do not know what happened during his train journey. All we know, is that the woman in the red coat was close to him all the time. So there has been several occasions to anchor the term "shoes" in his mind, like the woman sitting within his view adjusting her shoes or something like that, mentally connecting that with the red coat, which again makes him look in the direction of the ATM. This obviously works as a "convincer" so that the trainee not just has to believe this will work, rather than he knows it - and thus it becomes imaginable that the photoreading of the books will actually make sense. He was obviously taught other mnemo techniques too - otherwise he would hardly have visualized things like a car and a fax for "Carfax Galleries".

Črt Sužnik Basically yes, at least what your passive vocabulary is concerned. The problem is, you need to review the material a relatively short time after photoreading it to make it stick for a long time. For learning languages and to boost your vocabulary in a language there are better methods for keeping acquired knowledge active for a long time.
