Clearly this is a feat that only Derren could achieve

The guy could have literally dropped dead of a heart attack the very moment this guru person put his hands on him and I wouldn’t have been convinced at all. It is unfortunate that more people can’t see through this kind of thing, but it isn’t easy to find that balance of emotion/instincts and logic/reason.

This behavior can’t be encouraged, that’s for sure. Why would someone claim to have such a magical power and even go as far as to demonstrate on someone? Whether he actually believed he could do it or not he is using a scare tactic, trying to scare people into respecting or looking up to him in some capacity, which gives him a kind of power over anyone who might fall for it. This is a truly bad kind of person as far as I’m concerned, or at least an ignorant person doing a bad thing.

Everyone one saying ‘What if it had gone wrong..?’ It _went_ wrong. If it had gone right, the challenger would be pushing up daisies. Remember, when D-Beard does his crazy tricks, they are deemed to have gone right when he’s walking off with someones wallet, for eg

If it had gone wrong then we’d have some evidence for the paranormal. But it didn’t, did it?
Seeing the video was hilarious. They guy just couldn’t stop laughing as the guru tried all manner of ridiculous stuff on him. To be honest I’m glad these people exist because they’re so funny.

This is just hilarious.

And how could it have gone wrong? Instead of just brandishing a knife, he could have given up and just stabbed the guy?

Poor guru, he’s obviously become a delusional victim of his own success, I wonder how he’s going to cope. Small chance he’ll flip out and lose what’s left of his tenuous grasp on reality. He obviously likes the life-style his self-delusions afford him, so most probably he’ll just delete or distort the memory of failure carry on like nothing ever happened like the slave to pleasure that he is.

But please remember not to act too smug and condescending, because after all, we ALL have irrational beliefs that are FAR worse than this – if we care to look…

Every single one of us. All our minds all work in exactly the same way. We are all exactly the same, making the best decisions we can given the beliefs and understanding we hold true at the time.

what if that had gone wrong?
What if a magic elf from the land of the spirits appeared and killed them all?
What if they accidental summoned voldemort!
the risks these people take…

Very clever claim to make, because no one would ask for proof ( “And now for the demonstration…Who wants me to kill them? Come on, don’t be shy…” )

Brilliant (and rather brave,) test by this guy. Not just one of those irritating sceptics, who goes around saying, “This is bull, that is bull, it’s all obviously bull!” but never actually goes to the seance/voodoo ceremony/reiki healing ritual/whatever to see if they’re right, because it’s ‘not worth their time’.
