  2. Diane Brown says:

    What about other objects? And Derren, you are standing inside a box! hmmmm

  3. Michael Pitt says:

    A good trick =), but im still a believer of telekinesis =/

  4. Sarah-L-B says:

    Very interesting indeed, thanks for sharing!

  5. Syler says:

    Oh really? How interesting..

  6. Canary says:

    Who are these videos aimed at? Didn’t everyone learn these tricks in the science lab at school?

    - it’s a CH4 Education production aimed at teenage audiences. – Phillis

    I enjoyed this and always like listening to the scientific explanations Kat gives. :)

    did anyone else hear derrens voice in the middle of the telekenisis video at the start? i think he was the one who said “do it again”

  9. Kiara says:

    Oh yeah! lol Is it Derren saying do it again? – that’s hilarious well spotted!

    it shows you how ignorant people truly are when they see somthing like this and still believe the bullshit. some people have no hope really…..

  11. Zamurazi says:

    *sigh* i’m sick of the shit your ’science of scams’ keeps spewing out, you’re basically not sure on a subject, which you can not yet perform yourself, so you find a scamable ‘ability’ and manipulate it so people completely disregard it as real. I don’t care how crazy I look right now, I know i’ve moved a rizla with my mind, everything in the universe is conscious of everything and even a plant can feel emotions, you with just your mind can influence something to move, via wind or energy in the room. Put a rizla under a measuring jug and move it with your mind :)

    - Well Zamurazi – James Randi will gladly pay you $1Million dollars if you can do it in a controlled environment. Go grab that prize and you may have a point. – Phillis

  12. Zamurazi says:

    Hmmm, very pushed forward, but how am I supposed to get in contact with James?

  13. Zamurazi says:

    Thanks, I suppose I am to be wished luck, I hope nothing is publicised. I’m partially nervouse, and better get training ;)

  14. Raymond says:

    @Zamurazi when you are genuine than you shouldn’t be worried and you should not fear publication any publication.
    I can tell you that when you are genuine you will be published as the first true psychic all over the world and the eyes of the world are on you, and you will obtain immense richness and TV appearances all over the world.

    When you fail you will only be published on youtube by Randi. For all the skeptics to gloat at.

    But like most psychics they aren’t even aware that they were tricked themselves. I Rizla paper is so light that thermal currents can move it and in most houses have drafts in them anyways So you better practice doing this with the paper underneath a glass. And I wonder why you can move a rizla but not a piece of toilet paper or cardboard? Especially all at the same time. Goodluck!

  15. deleon says:

    still leaves questions unanswered.

  16. Zamurazi says:

    Raymond.

    It’s the ‘eyes on you’ that I fear, it’s something I perform with my friends and keep quiet, I don’t want to have to make a million dollars in proving that it’s possible, neither have everyone I meet only know me for being someone who can perform telekenises. I fear it because you need to be aware and if I have eyes on me and i’m under the pressure of a one time chance I might start by taking too long and then just give up on myself, it’s really hard and takes alot of consentration. It’s hard enough to make a small ball of air move a rizla let alone anything else – and I said I do it under a measuring jug so nothing can get at it :)

    Thanks for the wishes – I am practicing.

    I wonder what the last video will be?

    - Fairies, please say fairies – I have my costume ready. – Phillis

  18. Abhishek says:

    guys!!! you all are in a deep trance of believing in it…and indeed some are in an another trance of not believing it…..as derren say in his perfect tonality….”ITS JUST IN YOUR MIND”…. :)

  19. Cathy says:

    derrens in a box LOL :D
    that moves!

  20. Andy C says:

    “It’s the ‘eyes on you’ that I fear, it’s something I perform with my friends and keep quiet, I don’t want to have to make a million dollars in proving that it’s possible”

    I know what you mean. I’m also in possession of several talents which could make me rich beyond my wildest dreams with zero expenditure of effort, but I’d much rather use them make my stoned friends say ‘dude!’ than to pay off my mortgage.

  21. Daniel says:

    haha Andy i totally agree. I can blow bubbles off my tongue and I’m contemplating Britains Got talent.. lol. If I could perform telekinesis i would certainly not be sat at home with my mates, a rizla and a jug. What an idiot.

    Zamurazi, I’d lay off the joints if was you mate, there going to your head!

  22. Nick B says:

    I’m only posting this here but it applies to all 7:
    everyone here who posts that they believe in ridiculous things like telekinesis, psi-energy, and ghosts do nothing but insult Derren Brown’s intelligence (a very well-researched and educated man) and soils any dignity the human psyche could have.
    The man is trying to show you that you’re being LIED to and yet you continue to BELIEVE immaterial and unprovable hogwash over hard fact, science, and the collapse of something as temporary and volatile as your “beliefs”.
    There’s not a mite of hope for any of the “non-believers” of Science. Enjoy your ignorance, in a world where you are but a leaf in the uncontrollable breezes. I’m quite happy with enlightenment & the MUNDANE nature of everyday life. I’m not afraid of my world being explicitly NORMAL.

    Truly sorry for the rant, but I just had to

  23. sarah clark says:

    Love it! I must have missed this in science lessons at school but am so looking forward to ‘tricking’ my baby girl in believing I have powers when she’s old enough!!! Knowledge is power! Must be what it feels like to be in the magic circle!!
