I love the title TV FAN: DERREN HELD ME CAPTIVE FOR 12 HOURS needless to say i thought i was reading something else ๐
If only he’d known he was free to stand up at any time! How did he go to the toilet? He might sue you for a new sofa!
Surely that can’t be true, didn’t he need to pee? (Ew!) Either way he must have had some stiff joints at the end of it.
So, you glued some poor, innocent guy to his seat for twelve whole hours? He just had to sit there, probably terrified out of his mind, no food, no water, no lavatory, maybe even no company, frozen in the same position with the same thought going around and around in his head; “Oh my God, what if it never wears off? What if I’m stuck like this forever?!” Is that what you did?……
You rock!
Weak!
Wow, good thing he didnt have 4+1…
He wouldnt of had a case to sue you with anyway! Cant prove it, and by watching it he knew what he was letting himself in for!
Idiot..
It’s the daily star. It’s probably all made up. That newspaper has less truth in it than theonion.com
One really shouldn’t laugh… *snicker*
Possibly a good idea in future to add a little disclaimer next time:
“If you feel that you may have a particulary suggestible mind, have a CATHETER on hand
just in case.”
=P
haha that is too funny. if it had affected more people like that, it would have broken rule 2.9 of the ofcom regulations, and i think people would have sued in that case.
Lazy git.. Just wanted an excuse to get out of work.
Hey, if I say I was stuck for 3 days, do I get free tickets? ๐
Mikey
Well… I am still stuck to my seat…. but then again, as I have said already… I am paraplegic…
sorry to be harping on about it… I just find my own jokes extremely funny… lol
Would have been interesting to see whether he would have gotten up before he wet his pants … whether that strong stimuli would have drivven out of the … erm .. trance …
Nah, I think he just was loaded and therefor still stuck there next morning .. (if it had been a true story).
LOL. That’s one of the most hilarious and stupid things I’ve heard in a while. (:
what an eejit! id he not think to himself “i know this is all in my head, when i need a wee i’ll get up rather then p”ss myself”…….i got stuck but i knew in an emergency i could get up…..mind over matter and all that.
was after 15 mins of fame me thinks…..they’ll all come out the woodwork now!
Th poor guy, i didnt get stuck properly, but i could imagine that being stuck for a full 12 hours must have been terrifying to say the least.
I hope that this is true.
AHAHAHAHA! What an unbelievably legendary story! Although the title of the article suggested a more sinister story than it actually offered.
Ahahahahahahaah! Sorry to comment again on this, but actual wee evacuated my body at this line:
Katie, of York, said: รขโฌลHe was just saying, รขโฌหIรขโฌโขm stuck, Iรขโฌโขm stuck, I need the looรขโฌโข.
AHAHAHAHAHHAHHAH! *Wipes away tears of laughter*.
Blinding.
if he was stuck for 12hrs, then he was stuck all through the night? Are we sure he didn’t just fall asleep in the chair after the show? lol.. nice work derren.
OMG lol. but would his girlfriend really not have noticed something was wrong?!?! lol. Me thinks someone had a bit too much to drink. But funny anyway!!
Numpty! That’s if it’s for real.
๐
You sure he didn’t just fall asleep?
– Derren may just have bored him in to a trance yes! ๐ – Phillis
Poor guy for being so suggestible lol
๐
Jokes man, you should really ring him up and use him for any trick ever. He must be the most susceptible person ever! I used to be suggestible when I was younger because my dad used to “hypnotise me” (by making me see orange on my eyelids…yeah) and I really wanted it to work, so it did. Then I read your book and I know how it works so I didn’t get stuck, how boring. I wanted it to work, but my mind knew it wouldn’t.
Thanks Derren. Now my life suck. x
“doesn’t do anything for me anyway” Best. Quote. Ever.
ahaaa
Well that’s wierd, wasn’t it all to do with suggestion?
So you really wasn’t joking about the not going to school/work thing haha :):)
xxx

What was the undisclosed sum you paid him in compensation then?
This thread’s hilarious!! I wasn’t stuck to my chair unfortunately, I was too busy wondering if I would be able to reach my phone if I was stuck to my chair…Probably would have had a panic attack or something if I had become ‘stuck’…
“TV FAN: DERREN HELD ME CAPTIVE FOR 12 HOURS” – Sounds like a fantasy….;-) lol
Love the pic & love ya Derren keep on messin’ with our minds xx
Great pic with the chair. Very moody abd atmospheric.
I presume you’ve seen The Illusionist with Ed Norton – it reminds me of that. For any Derren fans out there its a film you would really enjoy!
Just saw the show at the weekend. Loved it. I didnt get stuck but really enjoyed it. Good job Derren!
I don’t believe it. Or it’s someone who just wants to get in the picture (attention), or he’s planning on suing Derren.
This reminds me of that time Derren Brown put David Blaine in a glass electrified box hanging off London Bridge and told everyone that if they pressed the red button Blaine would die. He was stuck there for something like 40 DAYS. That was mean. Button didn’t work either, apparently.
Poor guy! Can’t believe he wanted to sue ๐ At least he sees the funny side now!
SGC – LOL! Didn’t Paul McCartney shout something rude at him too when he’d had a few pints! That’s one to tell the grandkids “I was verbally abused by Paul McCartney while trapped in a perspex box!” Not many magicians can claim that ๐
Daily star?! Gotta be for real then. lmao!
Balls!
Flapjack: sounds like a fetish.
This also reminds me of the time Derren Brown put a girl in a sack full of kittens and threw her in a lake and when she came out everyone had turned into zombies and then she thought she was having a near death experience, but she wasn’t. It was all done with strings.
– Please no reveals ๐ – Phillis
Hehe thats pretty funny and downright awesome!! Can’t believe how people differ so much in how they are affected. Have you written anything about what makes a susceptable person, as i went to a good stage hypnotist but it only worked for half then I came out.
Love you Derren and can’t wait for the next show!
Oh, Phillis. We all know it’s up his sleeve, anyway.
We’re not sure what “it” is, or what he’s going to do with it, or how. But it’s DEFINITELY up his sleeve.
and i agree with Sue, the title DERREN HELD ME CAPTIVE FOR TWELVE HOURS is definately not a bad thing ๐
@ScreamingGreenConure – and if you look closely, you can see it poking out from time to time!
I’ve tried this ploy…
“Sorry dear, I’d love to wash up I really would, but unfortunately Derren Brown was too strong, and I’m stuck to my seat!”
Honest… ๐ฎ
What the guy forgot to mention was the twelve-skinner fatty of finest Dutch herbage that he smoked before the show.
‘DERREN HELD ME CAPTIVE FOR TWELVE HOURS’? Hmm why would you complain? ๐
Well done Derren. Although, next time could you hypnotise people like him to never pro-create? You’d be doing a huge service to all of mankind. ๐
There wasn’t anything in the film. It was the verbal suggestions he gave BEFORE the film was played.
Are we sure it wasn’t just another one of these unfortunate incidents?
If only he’d switched over to channel 4 +1 he would have been able to watch the clearing tone again. On second thoughts, maybe he would have been stuck for twice as long!!
@ mustdash – in all seriousness, it didnt work for me the first time, then me and my friends smoked a couple of joints and a bong, and it was a lot more effective on 4+1…
I knew we’d find Gollum before Jesus.
Extremley funny but scary!
