You don't need to hack into someone's dream to do inception. You just need to hire Derren Brown

So many people in the comments that simply don't understand how this works. I feel for you guys, I really do. He shows you how he forced the song into his head through out the day and you're still calling them actors and stooges. Funny.

Except that all it takes is 10 seconds of Safety Dance or any other catchy stick in your heard song shortly before Derren approaches him and the whole "trick" is moot. For a lot of Derren's stuff, the trick is making you think its a trick.

Right but all those things are very convenient and easy to fake. Plus as said below, any other song could take that out of his immediate memory. He'd also have to know the song, and the producer wasn't doing a very good job of whistling. I bet if this experiment was repeated it would have like a 60% chance of working.

It's actually a good thing that we can't read each other's minds because we'd probably be appalled and devastated at what we found; mainly at the (moral and intellectual) shallowness of the average person's thoughts and what that means for humanity. But that shallowness is what makes people so easy to influence.

I think the exact opposite, if given everyone has the ability, we would find solace that were not alone and everyone has thoughts from the profound to thoughts of the extremely shallow. what makes people able to be influenced is a millions different things. One as, im going ahead and guessing by the nature of your comment, you whom I believe believes yourself to be intellectual has to see the irony in your own comment on the shallowness of it, hope you can handle this as a lot of people wouldnt be able to, take care

It would be a stepping stone onto asking why we have the thoughts we have. For instance everybody would know how many sexual thoughts and what exact kind of sexual thoughts were had and by which people and at what stage in life. The negative/inappropriate thoughts of the supposed more educated/decent people would be revealed. We would then want to remove negative sexual references from tv/internet media and we'd then see the rates of rape and other negative sexual behaviour decline.

6 yrs on, but what the heck. I think if we could hear each other's thoughts it would be gibberish. We don't think very similarly to the way we speak imo. Odd words and disconnected phrases, sometimes conflicting, and layered on top of one another. Sometimes we might be rehearsing something we intend to say, or replay something we did say, so it "sounds" like we have an intelligible inner voice, but even then that's just a top layer. There's more thinking going on under that, at a lower volume. Really look at how you think, you might find, as I have, its mostly just impulses, instincts, fears, desires, and emotions that we try to make sense of. Like a decision-maker presiding over a meeting and taking suggestions on what to do from round a table of barely-known and often untrustworthy advisors.

I love how the sweet and shy Derren totally cons everyone, not in a scary way, just with music :)

I fu**ing love this man's work! Great job Derren, keep it up!

What a rush, for both of them right when the smiles starts to break, damn I want that feeling!

Advertisers know this. Sometimes it's nice just to go somewhere quiet and not have your head infected by sounds and imagery.

That's the same trick they use in the movie Focus. ....they program the marks mind by telling him what to think.....absolutely AMAZING

that explains the classic: oh! i was thinking of that song you humming! thing. somewhere earlier in the day we were together listening to that tune without even realize, and it stuck in our brains.

Thanks for your Educational Videos.

It would be interesting to see how that would work on me, since I don't know that song.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he also talked to his partner beforehand to help plan the whole thing, including working out where he works, where he would be going etc so that he could plant people in the right places and at the right times, and of course also work out what songs he knows relatively well.

I swell I’m a mind reader sometimes 😂 Good talent to have

Reminds me of the film “Focus”

We did something similar to this to a guy i used to work with. I am a software engineer so we as a group installed a very simple app that looks through a bunch of photos of coca cola cans and logos and flashed them on the screen for 1 or 2 frames of the monitor every so often. The guy we did it with eventually bought one after never having bought one before. He genuinely didn't know why he had the urge. As odd as it is, it works and it is how marketing is done when done well :-)

So to read someone's mind you have to precondition that person first.

Just me who wishes they could have a full cover of this?

my bad is very good at this and I also very good at summing up a strangers character just by looking at them for a while. although he can't 'read' my mind, he said I'm a one track mind and the first thought that comes to my head I stick with it..... he's said that why I'm very bad with people, I don't think past my first thought or don't ask/think about why people do what they do.....

If anyone has the chance to go to his live tour, definitely go

I know you must fail few times but who cares. I can't make it even once anyway... Thank you for sharing a little bit secret with us!

When Derren Brown isn’t busy He reads the5e comment5...Hello Mr.Brown!

Of course it has to be a common song, one that the person already knows of. And the whistles were meant to trigger a "recall" plus a "conditioning"

Can't read my, can't read my, no he can't read my... POKER FACE!

Remember people..its just tv.

maybe he didnt want to be rude and just said it was he didnt seem too convinced

This is brilliant!!......it basically said Darren didnt read his mind but he planted and idea or brainwashed him without him knowing it, thats what you call guerrilla marketing

This guy must've been selected at least a couple days in advance, and then they did background on him, maybe even got access to his home and friends to find out what music tastes he enjoys. If that had happened to me, they probably would've done something from the 80's.

I was thinking of turn down for what xP

Can someone explain to me how some mentalist can say to someone to think of a name and they think for example about their dog's name and he can just guess it without any tricks?

Wonder if he can help with phobias

I was thinking of the song "happy birthday".

So you stalk them then make them, think they just thought of something even though it has be there subconsciously all day.

does this actually work. How come nobody tries to think of something he couldn't possibly guess.

"Reading" someones mind and "How to read" someones mind are very different things.

I was thinking "little brown jug" or whatever that very old song was

What if the subject didn't know the name of the song or had never heard the song before all the subconscious environmental influences? He could have heard other songs throughout the day of which he knew the names. One is probably more likely to remember, in this case a song, when the song is listened to involuntarily, if one has had prior exposure to it, and moreover knows the name of it.

You know, once at work, when a coworker was giving us the night's tasks and asked if there were any questions, my old manager, totally unprompted, said, "Does that make sense, John?" I think she asked me in particular because of all the times I didn't understand previous tasks and demonstrated my slow, limited learning ability. That was the night I struggled and delayed getting something for a coworker and the said manager had to help me find it. I think she thinks I'm...well, whatever is a nice, more respectful word for "stupid," since she surely wouldn't use or think that mean word, especially consciously. Would that explain her "random" question to _me that night, no one else? That she thinks I'm slow?
