Did you get stuck to your chair?
Derren Brown: The Events βHow to Control the Nationβ
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.
i got stuck to the chair after the minute was up, and when derren played the messages up on the screen – amazing!!!! was really worried but thought it was funny!!!!
Well, I saw the images flashing of a man tied to a chair with a white background throught the show, which would explain why the “internet version” wouldn’t work, rather than being an issue of resolution. I did like the way he implied that those who arn’t stuck are uncreative and such, basically giving them a reason to want to sit. It was very interesting though, despite the clues all along the way.
I didnt stick at all, I noticed the flashing images of people stuck in there chairs and giggled every time one appeared. I think this might have thrown it all off abit. Watching again on 4+1 as suggested to see if we can give it a second go.
wow, so weird, my legs and arms were really heavy but felt really relaxed, it only took about 30 seconds to be able to move and was surprised the film was so calming. What were the two images flashed up while you were talking before the film?
I had a heavy bottom, but also I laughed to the point I cried…… Seriously is that normal?????
nope , but did see image of someone tied to a chair , ropes around waist ,
very sadly NO π
Didn’t get completely stuck but my legs, back and arms felt very heavy to move just after the film! Wish it hadve worked on me though! What were the screen flashes before and after though?
Didn’t work on me, really wanted it to though! haven’t moved anyway – new peep show!
Didnt work on me, though i felt slightly heavy..
I was able to get up straight away and dance … unbelievable as I couldn’t dance to save my life before .
omg, it made me cry! like for no reason just tears and I couldnt move to wipe my eyes… I wasnt scared tho it was just odd…
Sorry, didn’t work. Wish it had.
Great amazing wonderfull
Nope.
My back seemed to just melt into the chair, and then felt really heavy. When I tried to get up afterwards, I did stand up but sort of fell back into my chair.
And also, don’t know if you did this you sneaky magician, I am really hungry. Wasn’t hungry at all before.
no i’m dissapointed.
i got stuck then it wore off, it was amazing i wanna know how!
Stuck stuck stuck.. Me and my twin sister… we both just looked at each other and said NOoooooo!… Amazing stuff
Didn’t work, kinda dissapointed, is it on tomorrow again?
Didn’t work here either, and there were three of us! Really wanted it to work too π I shall have to try again when it’s repeated. Might have had something to do with the giggling fit that we had just beforehand….
im gutted.
it didnt work on me, or the 30ish friends that also tried it. π
wasnt stuck, but felt very heavy!
nope , but saw image of guy teid to chair around the waist
didn’t work on me, really wanted it to though. Haven’t moved anyway – new Peep Show!
Didn’t get stuck, but my face felt quite heavy and I started laughing. Which confused me a lot. Still much better than last week.
i didn’t get stuck, will try in an hour in a better chair and a bigger screen though! REALLY hope it works this time.
Not stuck (too cynical) but i did notice several black and white images of people stuck in chairs throughout the show.
Didn’t work on me, but I recognised your pre-amble from games I used to play on people when I was younger – talking as if they were on a beach and getting heavy and then telling them to stand up… They very rarely could.
Enjoyable show nonetheless!
No, this didn’t work on me, I was kinda hoping it would have π Was niceand relaxing though, straight into Alpha π
I started to feel like I was sinking in my chair, but then my boyfriend started talking and I couldn’t concentrate. Will watch again, as I definitely felt like I was starting to stick.
Nope, nothing for me. Was really hoping it’d work on me, but I’m sure it did work on a lot of people.
No wasn’t stuck. But get the feeling I should have given fully attention from the second the ad break ended
I wasn’t stuck. But standing did feel quite wierd. It took longer. Only by 3 seconds or so. But it was still strange
Not stuck, but my bottom didn’t want to rise when I tried to get up. I COULD get up but it was jolly hard work! My legs felt heavy and my heart was beating like mad. I still feel shaky now.
So even though I wasn’t stuck per se, I definitely had some sort of reaction to the film.
Very weird experience!
LC x
i think it worked…. i started to feel heavy when he was talking to us just before the film then i panicked about half way thru and felt like i didnt have the energy to get up, hands stuck to legs for about 10 seconds. only stood up when the phone calls were coming in. i think he made us believe we couldnt get up, that film just made us think about it more
dont think it worked for me, i really wanted it to,,, it was weird though my heart was racing and i found myself standing at the end and doing everything the short bit at the end told me to like lean forward lean forward,
derren come round my house and hypnotise me please….or do another show, …….shall be watching 4+1
Nice one, Derren…. well done π
Wondering why it didn’t get to me… could my bipolar be the problem? Hypnos etc have told me I’m very receptive to suggestion. Gonna watch it again on 4ID tomorrow…
I wasn’t stuck at all. Not surprised I usually don’t fall for PWA stuff. Im a graphic design student so are trained to see things. the flashing pictures of the drawing of a women tied to a chair with rope were very obvious. I sat in a chair 50cm away from a 19inch tv in a dark room, alone. I did feel really happy about half way through the video, made me smile and almost laugh. but stood right up. is very interesting though and can’t wait for the other events =]. I think the fact I knew it was supposed to make me stick made me not, I dunno just speculating.
I didn’t stick and neither did my partner who was watching. Pretty disappointing for us both I think!
Nothing for me and my boyfriend. But, we are stuck to the sofa for PEEP SHOW…YAY!
I felt a bit heavy but managed to get up think I stood up to early xos I felt really weird for a second!! Was still brilliant tho!!!!
Peeved…..didn’t get stuck but I got the shakes worse than the biggest shaky thing!
Nope, didn’t work on me although my legs feel slightly heavy but I can still stand. Gonna watch it on +1 to see if it works again.
untill the first time it said lean forward on the screen i could not even move my hand then i started unstick
Didn’t work for me but I liked the show regardless.
Nothing beyond feeling slightly dizzy for me – and I’ve been feeling like that most of the day. Slightly dissapointed.
Nobody I know has been stuck either (asked about 10 people). Maybe us Guide Leaders are a resistant bunch. π
Shall have to try again on Sky+ (I assume it’ll work as it’s on a proper tele and not the internet?) when my sister isn’t stood behind me sniggering and on a decent size TV instead of my fuzz tiny one in my room!
Didn’t get stuck, but my bum felt really heavy and a bit odd
yes I was stuck for some time, legs started to feel heavy when the film started and couldn’t get up until the blue screen came on. loved the whole experience!
Well, yeah it was a little difficult for me to get stuck but then, I just got up.
Maybe that was me fighting it…
