You have a point. I think we are in a state of conversational hypnosis all the time. We come in and out of trance all the time. I think you can see it more clearly in young children. They kind of go in and out.

For adults, any good conversation with story involved will capture attention and guide people to an outcome. Either way, its a good example. Thanks for your comments.

personally i agree that the video is fake, but is still a good demonstration of what conversational hypnosis can achieve, however it also can be misleading if people study this subject simply to leanr such tricks, and are disappointed when they find out that they are just magic tricks. what do you think about this?in fact, they are talking what they wanted to happen about things which is bad since it a poor way of proper conversation.

@ Improve Communication:
You are right. Most people tend to talk their day away while not minding about the person they are talking to. They don’t need any suggestion at all, in fact, they are talking what they wanted to happen about things which is bad since it a poor way of proper conversation.

Whether fake or real (I think real), Derren is an expert at using “suggestions” to influence the way people behave. Many of us have poor communication; we speak at people rather than with them, showing little interest in what others have to say. David.

Derren is great, but you can’t trust a magician and clever editing! What he does in the clip isn’t enough to install a false memory (unless of course there was a HEAP of off camera work). A fine example of a viral video!

Nathan, thanks for your post. I hadn’t heard that this video was merely a magic trick but I had heard that some of Derren’s other stuff involves magic “tricks”.

For me it’s not a matter of it being fake or not but how the communication and language was used during the event. I think there were a lot of suggestive forces going on in this setup environment.

In my opinion it’s important to discuss much of the language that’s going on and how it is used. After I took Conversational Hypnosis I found a new world around myself and that’s when I started this blog.

It truly opened my eyes to much more than was there before.

Thanks for your posts and comments. I’m enjoying them and they are providing value to people who visit.

If you would like for me to specifically discuss anything on the blog let me know, I enjoy the feedback.

i have heard that the derren brown video above is, in fact, faked ie that he just switched the envelope, do you believe this?
