Darren drown-STUCK

anyone get stuck?

personaly i believe that this would defy logic, how a clip on TV could "con" your brain into not relaying the messages your brain is sending to your mnuscles.

but it must work for some people, or this man wouldnt have a show. or there are some people craving attention that much that they would lie?

thoughts?

It's suggestion, and nothing more than a state of deep relaxation. He tells you it will only work if you're "bright and creative". Who doesn't like to see themselves as that? I also noticed three flashes (subliminal insertions), with the last obvious one being a drawing of a man tied to a chair. This was a double bluff.

You can use auto suggestion (hypnosis) on yourself very easily, but you have to want it to work. I can get myself into a state of deep relaxation and tell myself that my finger is tied to a helium filled balloon so that my finger, then arm begin to rise - apparently out of my control. Again -you CANNOT hypnotise somebody who does not want it to work. He effectively says this in his "spiel".

I've seen three hypnotherapists (one a state registered clinical hypnotherapist) in my time for anxiety/insecurity issues, and to me they came across as superficial, and only having a really basic knowledge of developmental psych/object relations. I've even thought of training as a hypnotherapist myself - they seem to make a good living, but then remember that Freud himself used it in his early days, but soon gave it up as the results were only temporary.

Tbh the finale was lame and a let-down. How many people in the studio audience got off their chairs at the end? 70%?

it would be a right bummer if he gave you tomorrow's winning lottery numbers but you were stuck to your chair and couldn't get out to buy a ticket

I keep wondering whether if it really worked, would he be allowed to do it?

"Hello caller are you stuck"

"Yeah, my arse is totally pinned to the chair. It's a really good trick but my f@cking house is on fire!" :shock:

that bloke should do something useful with his tricky tricks, like go down to Canary Wharf and spook all the bwankers into giving him all their money (sorry, OUR money that they embezzled) so that it can go towards the budget deficit.

Only spotted the 2 flashes but suspected there may be some in the "video" but haven't had 16 mins to lick through my recording of it yet.

This picture was at the start and end, was it the same one in the middle somewhere?
