Did you get stuck to your chair?

1. I got stuck! I could get up mostly but I couldn’t move the tops of my legs off the bed. Very weird!
2. Didn’t get stuck but odd reaction from my step-daughter. Full on hysterical laughter and could barely move. Tears, pain, laughter the lot! Very odd!

   Kindly caught her on camera – so can blackmail her with that obviously 🙂
3. Wasn’t stuck but was really extra heavy and took a lot of effort to get up.
4. I wasnt stuck to the chair, but half way through the screening I had an awful sensation in my ears and pressure on the sides of my head!!! As if that was stuck!
5. i got stuck. i didn’t want to (i was actually watching it thinking ‘ha, there’s no way I’LL get stuck!’) and then i couldn’t move my legs, back or arms. it was really bizarre, i started laughing hysterically and panicking a little bit, mostly because i was just so shocked that it had worked.

   the minute the ‘clearing tone’ started playing i went from being unable to move anything below my neck (and my feet, i could move those) to standing up like normal.

   very weird. i feel quite sick/dizzy now…
6. i used to be able to make myself feel stuck to my seat without a video. i i was willing it to work, and i even felt heavy and stuck for a bit ,but the second i tried to get up it just went. so basically, i could get a better effect with just the power of my own mind. 🙁 i’m really sad, it would have been cool if it worked
7. @ Mama_Haze on Twitter 🙂
8. My legs and bum weren’t stuck but my shoulders were. Could be because I was kinda slouched so feet could touch the floor (big sofa and litte legs). The effects have only just worn off and I’m feeling a bit dizzy.

   Cheers mate
9. well i didnt work for me but then i decided although i watched the film not to do what he said to do before hand because it scared me!
   what the heck was them flashes before and after the film did anyone see?
10. Nope, nothing ;____;
11. That was ‘effing weird. Although it was cool when it happened, sorta. Wooh, I feel special, ‘cos I’m not very suggestible. I’ll be C4+1ing this.
12. I didn’t get stuck to my chair during the video, but afterwards, watching the instructions, stay calm and what not, I came over a bit sleepy and felt like I could’ve got up, but I just had no desire too.
13. I got stuck! my younger brother who was watching with me didn’t but is re-watching it closer.
    I wasnt fully stuck but my bum and legs were. afterwards I felt a pain in my knee that kept shooting (every now and then). Very weird! I still feel quite heavy and I felt dizzy during…
    ughh weird. (was that pain normal or an effect of it?)
14. Naaw 🙁 my daddy did 😀 was pretty awsome! im disapointed will watch in an hour thenn 😉 xx
15. Wasn’t stuck but noticed the white picture with the man roped to the chair on it. Was quite interesting to see the people in the cinema though.
16. i got stuck

    i started breaking out in a sweat why the video played and i couldnt get up

    scary
17. Got a woeful pain in my neck that built as the video played. My friend had a stiffness in her legs. No affect on the other 2 people in the room.
18. It worked on my boyfriend! He couldn’t traighten his legs at the knee joints for a few minutes. It didn’t work on me as I looked away from the telly cos I am a wus. The music made me feel anxious though.
19. I wasent affected but my mum was! She was stuck for about 10 mins 🙂 She was fine when the relax screen came on. We are freaked out though!! Derren Brown=amaaaaaazing!! 😀
20. Didnt work for me i got distracted but the 3 people i was with it worked on. now going to watch it again on plus 1 :):) ,
21. got up then sat down then i couldnt move it was strange but i believe
22. Didn’t work on me, or any of my family (though that may be because I rather stupidly talked over the speech he gave just before the film, which I imagine may have been far more the point than the film itself).
23. Does anyone know if it will work again if you watch it again?
24. Didn’t work 🙁

    But my family were making a lot of noise at the time 🙁
25. Got quite stuck. Played around with the feeling for a bit before I thought my way out of it (I knew how ’cause I study info about subliminals and suggestion).
26. Didn’t get stuck, but felt shaky when I tried to! Awesome Derren, just brilliant!

27. I would really like to know what it is that makes some of us more susceptible than others. I really wanted to get stuck but it didn’t work. Hypnosis doesn’t seem to work on me either. Could it be that I’m too cerebral? My brain has a mind of its own…
28. Holy Crap! that was soooo weird! i was stuck and could not get up! I felt a little sick throughout the program, got stuck, and now feel fine! weird!
29. No :'( Wish it did!
    I was doing it by my lonesome so dont know if it worked on anyone else..
    My arm had a little stabbing pain in the top but i dont think it was anything as it wasnt touching part of a chair.. Hmm 🙁 x
30. Didnt stick, but it was weird…. my legs felt like they were stiff… almost like they were submerged in a goo or something. And my arms felt heavy. The weirdest thing was my heart started racing and my chest felt really tight.
    It subsided after about 10seconds and I was able to slowly stand up.

31. No didn’t work on me. i was aware of language used before the 1 min film.Words such as “absorb”, “Stick” and of course “Stuck”. The use also of the guy selecting the green chair, putting the idea of chairs and seats in people’s minds.Also image flashes a few times of an illustration of a man tied with rope to a chair.The image was about 6 frames so technically not a subliminal image which is usual 1 or 2 frames.
32. I wasn’t stuck and neither were my family or friends.
    That’s 2 16-17 year old males, and 1 60 year old male, and a 50 year old woman.
    Absoloutely nothing
33. That was possibly the weirdest thing ever. At first I thought it hadn’t worked, my legs felt heavier, but my arms and back were fine, and so I tried to stand. I got about half way up and my legs shook so much, I had to sit down again. And when I tried to stand again, the same thing happened, it was like a force was pulling me back down to where I was sat. I tried this several times, but I just could not stand straight without falling back down to my seat.
    Well done, that was amazing.
34. noooo it didnt work 🙁 But I did feel a little like I was sinking into my chair, but I still managed to get up again which I think was because everyone in the room was distracting me 🙁 It was an excellent show though 😀
35. Didn’t work. I’m absolutely gutted. I’m 4’10” and my feet don’t touch the floor when I’m sat down…. you think that’s why??
36. I felt so weird watching the film, my head was spining and my whole body felt heavy. when the film finshed i felt like i was completely stuck to the chair and i couldn’t move. It didn’t last that long tho which was weird. I watched it with my parents it didn’t work on them. Also as soon as they got up started walking around and saying it didn’t work all the feeling came back to my legs and I could get up. I still felt dizzy and my like something was attracting me to the chair even though i could get up ok, I really didn’t want to?
37. I didn’t get stuck… when the film was played I felt quite odd
    But before the film I felt my feet really stuck to the floor… I would like to find someone who was really stuck…
    hmmm maybe next week will be better??
38. My legs felt somewhat fuzzy after the video played. However, I did manage to stand up, albeit very slowly.
39. Not stuck at all! Well disappointed 🙁 I really wanted it to work! Our tele is crap and fizzly though, that probably made a difference…
    XD nice try though Derren!
40. AHAH YES! arms hurt from trying to pull myself up, i am so fucking susceptible hahaha brilliance derren :’)
41. Didn’t work disappointed.
42. Wasn’t concentrating on the lead up then my usual defense mechanism came on about 20 seconds in – bursting into hysterical laughter. Will try again later and pay attention next time…
43. yes it totally worked on me i couldnt move at all but it felt like i was being held around the stomache more than my legs
44. Wasn’t stuck.
    Feet to thighs felt like they were going numb, head felt like i was drunk (that groggy not yourself feeling)
    Was able to get up though, bit wobbly for a few seconds though.
45. I WAS STUCK
    well i wasnt ‘glued’
    i got up a lil bit but had to lean over, i shuffled over to the bed and after a min or two i could stand up with perfect posture. I am watching it on repeat so it can happen again XD
46. Didn’t work although it gave me an almighty headache
47. Sorry forgot to say…..fantastic show!! 🙂

    LC x
