Awesome. What this says is that your mind takes up a ton of information that you will never be consciously aware of.

In another episode of the same show (i think), the host predicts beforehand EXACTLY the complex path that a floorplan design consultant will take when navigating thru a supermarket he's asked to make a design for. The expert, who you'd think would recognize the manipulation, is unconsciously influenced in just the same way as this video. scary.

I wasn't going to upvote but then they showed how they did the subliminal advertising during the taxi ride. That was just mind blowing.

Looks like a scam to me. I don't trust this guy.
Do you really think they saw all the hints on their way there?

I'd love to be this guy's victim, I can't believe this 100% without being there. My brother was at a recording and he said he couldn't see anything dodgy, but that there was a lot of behind the scenes activity which could have been anything, no one was allowed close.

Derren Brown is awesome. By his own admission, he uses "magic, suggestion, psychology, misdirection, and showmanship".

And he has an incredible memory. I actually just watched the special this clip appears in yesterday.

pretty clever.

interesting how much the short term memory played a part in their creativity... reminds me about how many artists are incapable of forcing their talents and must instead wait for that certain spark, otherwise they end up with hackneyed junk that is probably just like something they saw or heard earlier in the day.
