Did you get stuck to your chair?

1. No! 🙁 I didn’t get stuck at all, but did it not work because we saw the “subliminal message” of a person tied down to a chair? Didn’t work on my sister or dad either. Rather disappointing really, Derren, I must say. *sigh*
2. it didnt work the first time, but thanx to sky plus, when we rewound it and turned the lights off, my legs felt very heavy and i had a bit of difficulty getting up and the wife was proper stuck
3. Woops I have to make 2 comments now. More rambling. I didn’t get stuck but still loved it.

   Next Week we all go deeper!

   Keep YOUR eyes peeled 🙂

4. I wasn’t stuck but I got dizzy and saw lots of naked magicians running about wearing neckties and carrying whips. I must say one of them was super handsome, his name resonated but the ambuigity of it caused me to misinterpret what it was……..sounded something like Berren Down 😉
5. Lady Claire – I had the same experience as you. I thought I could get up easily but I really struggled to lift my bum off the chair. I had to push my hands down on the seat and really shove myself up. My legs still feel heavy too.
6. I think I got stuck 🙂
   Well I did…

   I tried to get up a couple of times, and felt like I COULD, but my muscles only wanted to work at like 5%. Very interesting :]

   Go Derren!
7. OMG!
   I GT BACK UP AFTER A COUPLE SECONDS BT I FELT SOO RELAXED!
8. OK…getting worried now….need your help…am gonna send you my number via twitter!!!!!
9. kind of worked! my whole body felt really heavy, my arms were trying to lift my whole body up. couldnt move for about 7 secs lol! good job derren
10. My legs and body didn’t get stuck but my arms were like lead weights. It was a freaky feeling, I didn’t like it to be honest though it only lasted a few seconds.
11. Most people probably weren’t effected by this. And most that weren’t mainly convince themselves that something happened because they wanted it to happen.
    I myself stood up without a problem.

    Nothing seems to be proven genuine. Though one can only prove it as much as ‘You aren’t a Scrooge are you?’ and they reply with ‘No’. This is as much proof as anyone will get from watching it on their television.
    I’d like the proof in front of me, like all of us I guess.
    Hearing people say ‘it’s bullsh-t’ or ‘omg it worked!’ really doesn’t help when thinking if it is genuine or not.
    But that’s the point of it right?

    I don’t expect a reply. But I would like one.
    😉
12. Plus I was really twitchy on my legs and stuff during the film, did that muck it up to not work too? 🙁
13. Neither me nor the lodger got stuck ( we were watching it together) – However, I did feel abit strange watching the little film. I think I might have been abit too excited to really take things in, I was abit giggly and laughy. The lodger however, DID have a hard time getting up even though he wasnt stuck. I thought he was stuck for a while, but he eventually got up. He said he felt quite heavy, not quite welded but like his body didnt *want* to get up. xD Great fun.

    We were going to try it again on +1 but I think thats it for me xD Too much excitement. I wish I got stuck!
14. Yes! I must admit, I was sceptical, but all truth told, it worked! Albeit only for a minute or so, but it still worked! Twitter @ubermatik
15. I was stuck to my sofa, it did not feel nice, i started laughing hysterically when the film was played and i could not move. My younger brother got up but i . . just couldnt.
16. Yes it worked for me. I couldnt move it was like i would go to move but lose the will to move properly eventually it got to me being able to move except my feet where still stuck so i couldnt get up. Then after the blue screen i got up on my feet and my back gave in haha not sure if it had something to do with the trick 😛
17. OK, maybe I just worked myself up too much… I’m prone to anxiety attacks, so yeah.

    During the actual film, I was completely out of it – it’s almost like going under anesthesia for me. I realise the film’s over and I tug myself off the sofa. I’m tingling. My feet won’t budge. My head’s thumping. My knees cave in. I sit myself back down and carry on watching; mildly disappointed. After the program finishes, I jump off my backside. I’m fine now. I walk into the other room… oh, I’m not fine. I’m tic-crazy. My legs are shaking, my hands tingle, my mouth’s numb, my head feels heavy.

    Is it just my own imagination playing cruel tricks on me? Is anyone else experiencing similar symptoms?

    Great show, D! You might just be a charismatic conman or the anti-Christ, but I love your mojo!
18. I got a little freaked by the number 2 during the first bit of the programme especially when the ads said 2. Then I noticed the number 3 being emphasised, is it using the stages of sleep and consciousness? The room went blurry and sort of dissolved whilst watching the film. I noticed the sort of Victorian images of a woman and then a top hatted man roped to a chair. My legs felt a little heavy and it calmed me down for a bit after as I’m usually quite hyper.
19. Felt very heavy, like I was in a deep meditative state, but could move. I think I resisted because I thought it would panic me if I got stuck. Brilliant series.
20. Didn’t work for three people here. Had about 3 seconds of negative after-image but that was it.
21. I didn’t get stuck or anything but watching that video was the most relaxed I’ve felt in years! I’m guessing most of it was just suggestion and not much in the actual video, which was just a relaxing image thing? Either way thanks for the chill out vid!
22. I stupidly didn’t watch the video with my glasses on. :/

    Oh well! My mother got stuck and I had to help her up which was funny.

23. Nopee 🙁
    Really wanted it to work, I even watched it again to see if it would work the second time,
    but still no luck 🙁

    But Derren your still amazing 😉

24. Worked in a mild and funny way. A bit like the very early stages of a ‘psychedelic’ experience.

    I knew I could get up if I wanted to, but couldn’t bring myself to. Very odd.

    And it was all me – I was in control. I was at first “too scared” to try and get up, and giggling a lot. Couldn’t/wouldn’t move my hands off my lap. Then I just broke the spell, and got up easily.

    Congrats!
25. Got up and thought “Must not have worked … Disappointed :(”
    Until I noticed my legs could not move. Totally glued to the floor.

    My little brother on the other hand got totally stuck.

    Thanks Derren, after a couple of mins I was able to limp over and nick his penguin bar in his moments of incapacitation.
26. I turned all the lights out and totally blocked everything else out as I watched the film nothing seemed to be happening then when I tried to move my head I couldn’t I was stuck by my neck and my stomach felt like it was been sucked through my back… It was quite unpleasant feeling so helpless and I really wouldn’t want to do it again… Good Work

    Laura x
27. I was so sceptical beforehand, but it worked!!Everything felt so heavy, and numb,almost like having an epidural.I noticed that we were being controlled before the film actually started, with Derrens face and a subliminal image that popped up. Wow!!
28. didn’t get stuck although my wrists felt very heavy.my heart was really racing. my daughter started laughing and nothing happened to my husband
29. It worked for me but not my hubby. My body felt like lead and i could not feel my legs at all. Hubby tried to pull me up with no success. The more i tried to stand the harder it became. Loved it!
30. I’m a psychology student so I definitely didn’t think it’d have an effect on me, but bravo Derren, I started crying during the first talk, then burst into laughter during the film and then couldnt move..
    Although I did notice the flashing images.

    Im amazed.
31. no 🙁 but it made me and my bf have these really cheesy grins and like we where about to burst out laughin that was strange i also got weird tingly sensation during the vid also gona watch it on plus 4 and sit closer this times we will see 🙂 x
32. I was stuck for a few seconds, as was my brother. At first I couldn’t lift my hands or feet, but once they were free I was able to stand fairly easily.
33. Nope, didn’t stick.
34. Didn’t get stuck, but enjoyed the show.

    It may only be a small percentage of people getting stuck, but the real mass control must be in how many people around the country stood-up at the same time! 😀
35. I was stuck for a few minutes after the subliminal message. I felflike the sofa was velcroed to me! Before the video was played I started to see a mist surrounding Derrens face and then as the video was playing I felt floaty and light at the same time as my body feeling heavy and dense.. That makes no sense but it was weird! Fabulous show, cant wait for more next week!
36. I Have Never Been So Freaked Out, I was Completly Stuck For About 10 Minutes My Legs Were Completly Welded To The Seat.
37. i’m still stuck to my chair! probably just a hygene problem though….
38. Derren Brown was so weird, when he was saying the films about to be played, it felt like he was hypnotising me. When I was watching the film I felt very heavy and I couldnt even blink. When it had finished I couldnt get up at all. It took me 10min to get up. It was all quite scary!!!
39. No sticking here. Sadly, good show all the same
40. I got stuck to my chair and it was really frustrating. I think its the best interactive trick I’ve ever seen. When it flashed all I could see was some guy in black n white.
41. It was soo wired being stuck i think before the flash while he was talking made me more receptive.
42. My Mum was stuck – it was very scary. Brilliant show, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Maybe didn’t work on me because I was smiling too much – it was too cool!

    Thanks!
43. Heart was racing 🙂 Saw 3 flashes of the guy tied to his chair, and was stuck fast (mainly my thighs and bum). Felt really heavy and shook with the effort of trying to stand. It did wear off before the blue screen although the dog sat on my foot which didn’t help lol Well done Derren, that was very fun.
44. It’s all OK…she’s FREE AT LAST!!!!!!!!!!
45. It was weird. When I was watching the video, my heart was racing and i felt really strange. I have to say that I didn’t play along – i kinda wanted it to work but there was always the thought in the back of my head not to let it do anything. When I tried to stand up at the end, I managed OK, I think because I didn’t think about it too much, I just relaxed and stood up. But my whole body when tingly, like a mild electric shock and i felt really tired.

    I think the reason it didn’t work so well was that, like derren said, the conditions at home aren’t perfect, and also because you’re expecting it to do something so you have a chance to fight against it. The people in the other stuff – no chance, because they didn’t know what to look out for and fight against. Nice work, Mr Brown.
46. Didn’t work on me but others have failed to hypnotise me. Going to try on E4 plus 1 now and try to totally let go I’m really interested to see if it does actually work.

    The subliminal flash looked like someone tied up
47. Pure mince. Thats twice ive wasted an hour of my life on this tosh.
48. I felt really weird during the film, then everything seemed normal. Leaned forward to grab my beer, and realised I couldn’t. It was as though I had no calf muscles. Couldn’t get any leverage to push myself up. Even pushing as hard as I could on the table in front of me was fruitless — all the pressure seemed to disappear in my body. Great show.
49. well mr brown stuck you said and stuck i was!! felt my arms gettin heavy before the video was played, then once it started total numbness from arse to toes, couldnt manage to push down with my arms to get up or use my legs, kinda like pins and needles, but what a feeling, top show, top man!!!
50. No 🙁 didn’t stick, I was truely gutted, don’t know why but was quite looking foward to being stuck to my chair. It was still quite funny getting to sit watching the T.V., staring intently and wanting to be glued to my chair. Love it!
