This site is dedicated to the thought that something as simple as fun is the easiest way to change people’s behaviour for the better. Be it for yourself, for the environment, or for something entirely different, the only thing that matters is that it’s change for the better.

The above example is the third in a series of 3 current ideas that show how small and engaging rewards can be used to change peoples behaviour.

The Fun Theory

That’s an absolutley fantastic idea! If most bottle banks did that, it’d really increase recycling.

Before watching this video, I thought it’d be like a conventional arcade but instead of credits like money, you used bottles to play.

Impressive. I never thought this was possible. It IS possible to have fun, while making changes in the world for the better eh?

Haha how simple yet fantastic :p

But then the issue may be raised of addiction to bottle banks…which will lead to more people getting off their face on cheap vodka just to use it…

Maybe i’m over analysing haha love it x

Thats amazing that, and to think that our government invests money in so much advertising that we dont need, and neglects to invest in measures that we DO need! I came form Liverpool, and in my whole area where i live, i cant even think of ANY recycling bins anywhere…

Now we just need to get Volkswagon to sponsor 1000 of these in each country they sell their cars in, to help offset their “carbon footprint”!

I was wondering of there's an age restriction to this show? Msg from Abeo: The performance will not be suitable for under 12’s.

We were lucky enough to see Infamous last night and hubby thought this particular show was the best tour so far. We usually spend the car ride home discussing what we’ve experienced and how Derren fooled us but this show is so cleverly put together we were stumped as to how a lot of things could possibly be achieved. Derren was on top form never missing a beat, he’s always had the talent and ability to entertain his audience but this show will emotionally engage you from the very beginning …you just can’t help but be moved by some of the things he does and says……I’m not going to say anymore as Derren always asks us to “keep the show’s content a secret” and I would hate to spoil it for other people especially as Derren’s performance always stays with me long after the show has “ left town” and I know a lot of people feel the same way. @ Robert Perkins …yep I agree…we had to resort to eBay this year but I’m so glad we did ….it was well worth it. Have you tried to get tickets for London? Compared to some of the ebay prices it may work out cheaper. We both fell in love with Oxford by the way…awesome place beautiful atmosphere. Sue and Paul

Good to see Derren and Andy on a project together again. Anyone know if it will it be filmed (for those of us not in the UK)?

This is going to be special, mark my words (not like the other ones weren't) get in fast. You'll be infamous.
