You are absolutely correct…except most derren brown fans wont believe you since they are so disollusioned by his effects. It has nothing to do with hyposnosis
I didn’t say “magic” and I didn’t say “impressive” either. Apart from that, it was a generalisation about tricks like this, in reply to someone else.
The important point is that respectable != impressive, I might be impressed by someones ability to lift a certain weight, to call it respectable is to miss the mark unless the reason I respect things is based on physical prowess.
how would it be less impressive if it were magic techniques? in my opinion its more impressive because its a brilliantly designed “magic”trick designed to look amazingly like mentalism
Of course it does matter how he does it, not only so that as pedestrians we can try to stop it from happening to us (most particularly at a malevolent level), but it matters simply because certain techniques are more respectable than others, if it was “mirrors” or “rigged” then that wouldn’t be as respectable as suggestion etc.
does it matter how he does it? does it matter wheather it is hypno, suggestion, n.l.p, or simple slight of hand?
NO!
all that matters is that he does it, and that he is able to make it entertaining!

Well it does matter to me, because depending on how he does it or not determines if black magic exists or if Darren and guest is conning us.

I wasn’t talking to you when I said that, but OK.
Derren Brown uses a handshake induction to ‘hypnotise’ him, which is real. However, I would say it was just for show.

Maybe you should learn somethign about magic before you associate hypnosis with a magic trick

Maybe you should learn more about hypnosis before pretending that you know what you’re talking about.

Look up Hypno Sculpture on here and see if it’s not true. You might think otherwise after watching a few of them.
