    Everything happening backwards. Like the rotor jewl of the time piece is going back :p

    I can’t wait to see this. I hope it lives up to anticipation :D!

    haha that’s so cool.. didn’t even realise it was in reverse until i’d watched it about 10 times ^_^
    also saw the sneeky peak at the camera 😉

  4. Tash

    Backwards, right? Is that why man in background on second vid is walking strangely?

  6. Paul Rattray
    19 August 2009

    ..apart from the clips are played backward?

  7. keiron
    19 August 2009

    It looks like it was played back in reverse.

  8. Yvonne
    19 August 2009

    nice, can’t wait to hear more about this. And they are backwards, was kind of obvious in the one with the jacket. Now I just hope I’ll be able to see the full Trailer in Germany

    The Vimeo player won’t let me follow your instruction. 🙁

  10. keiron
    19 August 2009

    Especially now I have seen the other 2!

    I am lactating right now!

    REWIND…

  13. Adam
    19 August 2009

    I wonder if I should record it and rewind the trailer?? 🙂

  14. Sabre
    19 August 2009

    Cant wait to c it.
    3 seconds in there seems to be something behind ur head, triangular?
    could be a light on the side of the building tho 😉

  15. Sam H

    REWIND.

  16. Sam H

    I wonder how long it took Derren to perfect backwards performance. Not to mention how many takes. I mean, we knew he was dedicated from the eight hours of coin-tossing for the System, but learning a forwards card riffle drop backwards while making it look forwards? Wow

  17. Sally
    19 August 2009

    Sabre: Could be a triangle? 😛 😀

    I am wishing I had a TV recorder right now.

    I love these little idents. One thing I did notice was that they popped up on Channel 4 practically every hour at around the same time (yes, I do realise how sad that sounds). But I just think they’re great to watch. 🙂

    Can’t wait for the actual trailer tonight!! I shall endeavour to keep my eyes peeled and try and spot anything….

  22. ReliegiousMarie
    19 August 2009

    In the morning, instead of dressing up… Derren is stripping? 😉

  23. Foz
    19 August 2009

    Why are there some random capitals in the post??

  24. Shawna
    19 August 2009

    I hope phillis or some of you oveR there are kind Enough to record/post it someWhere so that us amerIcan fans can see…. You think you’re all aNxious…. I’ll probably have to wait a Day later to see anything 🙁

  25. Jacqueenking
    19 August 2009

  26. Tommie
    19 August 2009

    It’s been on all week!

  27. Coocumber
    19 August 2009

    In this one there seems to be something behind his head but on the others there isn’t… hmmmm

  28. jameshogg

  29. Charlie

    Nicely done with the ‘subliminal’ capitals in the text. Liking the backwards video.

    🙂

  30. Mr Woolf
    19 August 2009

    Hmmm…
    I think I get the message guys 😛

    Got it a while ago actually, just been doing masses of reading whilst not having sleep!
    Bah! Who needs it every night in ‘ytilaer’ anyway.
    😉

    BTW: Did anyone see the ‘drac’?
    My computer plays ‘eht’ vids all jumpy and it isn’t easy to ees.

  31. Abeo
    19 August 2009

    These are the teaser clips again, the trailer will be shown tonight on 4 🙂

  32. Elise
    19 August 2009

    Rewind….

    The “hidden” capital letters have been there for a few posts.
    In two others, the letters say “ROTOR”: a palindrome (that you can read from the beggining or from the end – which is close to the theme of the videos…).
    Or mamybe it stands for “rot or….” “…rewind” = rewinding is not rotting, so it’s living, going foreward….

    Am I overthinking? lol

  33. rev
    19 August 2009

    the “thing” behind His head is realy wired. it clearly isn’t in the first clip. see comparison here: http://i28.tinypic.com/25sblut.gif

  34. Coocumber
    19 August 2009

    It clearly says rewind in the post but not many of us have the ablility to rewind videos, its not that easy to do you have to download programs and poo, could you do it for us pleeeeeeease phillis, because you’re so cool 😉

  35. Sophie
    19 August 2009

    Yeah – that looks totally awesome.

    Can’t wait for ‘The Events’. Derren’s work is so cool (ha, just look at Enigma – that was amazing… And I got to see it twice… and meet him once afterwards. Go me.)

    hehe.

    Hello, Derren 🙂

  36. Mr Woolf
    19 August 2009

    I may sound a bit like a religious nut right now but… I see the light!

    Soon many of you will too, you just gotta look in the right place. It has been mentioned already 😛

    @Jacqueenking:
    Shouldn’t we all do as we are told?
    You never know what we might miss out on if we dont 😀

    Here’s an ODD ENIGMA: (Please feel free to answer it).

    If I’m a Woolf

    And Derren, along with Coops, are rather cheeky lil monKEYs

    What Delightful Creatures would you say Abeo and the lovely Phillis should be?

  37. Jacqueenking
    19 August 2009

    @ Mr Woolf – But playing by the rules is not playing at all.

  38. mathew
    19 August 2009

    you realise if u record it with soudn recorder in windows u can just click reverse and hear him talkign about magic being about missdirection and him telling us that u can get in on the show if u go to the webbys in the video tho it doesent say that its where they take you he talks about performing 4 huge stunts of misdirection and any system is breakable with the right tricks

  39. Unconfirmed
    19 August 2009

    The thing behind his head is a security light. Nothing more, nothing less. My guess is that it was edited out of the other videos.

  40. christine
    19 August 2009

    sam, i think he didnt.
    i personally think that, contrairy to the first video we were shown, where they did produce the effect by rewinding, this time, no rewinding is used.
    just my own little personal theory 🙂

    ch.

    @Jacqueenking:
    Oh… don’t get me wrong… THAT I already know my dear, HIGH ‘dedrac’ friend.

    Playing the gameS are indeed great FUN…. what’s the point 2 it all, without ALL the fun of the games right?

    I merely meant that SOME of us tend to be be punished when we don’t PLAY BALL the way we’re told to. 😉

    And sometimes the punishment is far more drastic than an ENJOYABLE little spanking 😛

    REALITY is sometimes a little more harsh than people are WILLing 2 eviecrep 😐

    HEY, I’m not BAD at this… BOY 😉

    Lol…. how QUICKly we forGET SOMEtimes… ALL because of the RUSH!!!

    http://retsehcnamdetinu.com/ (http://img205.imageshack.us/img205/6395/manchester.jpg)
    http://stucktomysofa.com/ These both have links to the darren brown website

    The bus banner also stated “it will be you”

    Numbers on the lampost were 25 (number couldnt see) 6 47

  43. Nathann
    20 August 2009

    Sorry to post twice, just noticed the lottery hand with the it wil be you, so im assuming that the numbers
    on the lampost are lottery, think theres a 22 on there too possibly 32, also the man with the umbrella
    has a giant O on his back!

  44. Kyle Newton
    20 August 2009

    He did the flourishing and then reversed the video…

  45. christine
    21 August 2009

    um do you think the three clips with the cards are filmed at the same location?

  46. Katya
    21 August 2009

    Does the balloon have a Barclays eagle on?

  47. sam
    22 August 2009

    obviously the sign in the background says http://www.manchesterunited.com perhaps one of the 4 events takes place at manchester united football ground?

  48. Adam
    22 August 2009

    Read the text below it, pick out the capital letters, except the capitals for names. R-E-W-I-N-D

    I think too many people are trying to show how smart they supposedly are by looking for a hole in a freaking Swiss cheese. Those websites were a trick, a cheap shot to make you curious which in the end results in you entering his website. Rewind was to get his message across, but once again, curiousity has it that more people are interesed in looking for the answer, again resulting in having a wider audience. If it wasn’t for tricks Derren’s name wouldn’t be so recognizable and he wouldn’t have made it to being a part of a commercial station of Channel 4.

    You’re all acting like kids hyped-up on sugar about all this.
    Here’s even a question for you.

    How many of you have common sense?

    And another. How long will my comment be actually published for?

    Why?

    – Calm down MJ – it’s just a bit of fun 😉 – Phillis
