Did you get stuck to your chair?
Derren Brown: The Events ‘How to Control the Nation’
Post a comment below and let us know if you got stuck to your chair, how long you were stuck for, or if you found it harder than usual to stand up, or if it didn’t work at all and you think it was all a load of rubbish.
Nope, not stuck. Sorry. 🙁
I didn’t get stuck to my chair, but I think the sort of chair matters and how concentrated you are during the programme. During the film, I did feel my arms getting light and wanting to lift in the air like one of the test subjects.
No effect. Little disappointed, tbh.
Wanted to be stuck but wasn’t
it didn’t work for me at all, kinda disappointed
No, but my Mum was.
No sticking for me.
Nope.
Didn’t end up stuck but felt really sluggish & getting up wasn’t easy. My mum ended up glued solid…Hilarious!
Nope, didn’t work. FAIL. But then again, Derren is a crafty bastard, so i’m sure it worked on some people!
Sadly not though I feel nice and relaxed now! 😀
I didn’t get stuck, but I was sat on the edge of my bed and had to turn my head to see the tv which I suppose wasn’t the best position. Will try again on the repeat, hehe
It worked. It’s weird. I love the people on Twitter saying it didn’t work.
It didn’t work because you were friggin’ tweeting about it.
Didn’t work for me, unfortunately. I felt sleepy during the film, but stood straight up afterwards.
Oddly disappointed to be pacing around the room. Oh well.
Didnt work for me…. Really wanted it to work though 🙁
Didn’t work… AT ALL.
Disappointed!!
Wow! I can lean forward and even get up, but only for a few seconds. I really can’t stay up for more than 2 or 3 seconds.
I wasn’t stuck to my seat but my upper thighs felt really really heavy, and my field of vision outside of the TV screen went grey/blurry.
Why were they two subliminal flashes so consciously obvious, though? Can’t imagine they were the ‘real’ reason people were stuck to their seats as they stayed on screen too long to have been effective (OFCOM regulations?).
Sorry, this never worked for me
It didn’t really work for me, I felt it when I was watching the film but then afterwards I wasn’t stuck or anything. My body aches quite a lot though, especially my shoulders and I feel a bit shaky so I think it might have had some kind of effect. Like you said though, there may be distractions or something I don’t know! Interesting to watch though!!
I meant check LOL.
Nope
I didn’t get to watch as I live in Canada . These things never work on me. That actually makes me kinda sad. Didn’t seem to work on any of my friends in the UK though. 🙁
Wasn’t stuck, although I enjoyed the bit of film, very psychedelic and calming.
No, nothing, pretty much leapt up, only delay was to pick up the kittens on my lap … come to think of it, THEY might be stuck to the chair …
Wasn’t stuck to my seat, but I felt my calves go really heavy, and pre-pins and needles feeling up my legs. I didn’t feel like I was fighting it, but I must’ve been, somehow.
It didn’t work on me, which is highly disappointed as I am open to Derren usually. I wonder what went wrong…
Bit disappointed! I felt queasy and a bit heavy but thats it! Clearly im not susceptible!
I got straight up, although it took me more effort than it usually does. Not sure if that means the subliminal stuff was true, or not.
Nope, could stand up straight away… bit disappointed tbh.
My head sunk. Felt like I was going to pass out. When it finished I felt fine.
Didn’t work! I actually found it easier to get up than usual! Could you do a version to help me out of bed in the mornings, please? x
No, but I couldn’t move my legs until I pushed arms to the base of my seat
I’m stuck to my chair….but that’s largely due to anticipation of peep show and IT crowd.
does that count?
Didn’t get stuck :(… I believe he did it… I just wasn’t stuck =[ Oh well… Was worth a try & was good show anywayz 🙂
naa i felt my arms a bit heavier but got up when i tried
You, Derren Brown are a terrifying man. I was so scared when I was stuck I was crying, I was absolutly hysteric for a few minutes afterwards but I calmed down after 🙂
nope… gutted! if we watch C4+1 can we try again?!
Wasn’t stuck, altough to be fair i cant be hypnotised or anything at all for some reason :O
i got up easily! but can see how it would work on the more suggestible people out there…
Didn’t work. Gutted!
not stuck, but felt strange watching the film the pattern took over the whole wall behind the TV
nope..it didn’t work
no, disappointed.
No, it did not work on me I’m gutted!!!!!
I blame the trolls in everyones sofa, holidng them down
awwww i didn’t get stuck, thats dissappointing…
This is basic physics. If you can’t swing your head forward or lean forward it won’t work. Even more so if you can’t swing your arms forward. I’ve done this in lessons!
No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no didn’t work on me ;(((
