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 pins and needles down my back then stood up and fell straight back down, but then i was fine.
my friends mum got totally stuck!
I felt myself entering a slightly hypnotic state when Derren was talking in the moments before the film. I know because I always get very giggly when that happens. But anyway, I wasn’t stuck. This might be something to do with my TV being old and rubbish, I’m not sure. The strange thing was, I stood up and felt fine apart from a slight feeling of disappointment. I sat back down again and while Derren was talking to callers I tried standing up again and moved around my room a little. The further I got away from my seat the more I could feel the energy in my lower body being sapped away. I almost fell over!
I saw the flashing images before the film too, cheeky!
worked for like a few seconds felt weird tho
No didnt work for me nor my husband. I felt heavy during the flashes and the speech but didnt get stuck π
i was so stuck i couldnt even lift either of my hands off my lap then when it said lean forward on screen for first time i could gradually move
Managed to get up but felt heavy across my chest. Ever since the first flash felt something. Good work derren. we love ya
Wasn’t stuck to my seat, but my arms went quite heavy which was a starange feeling. and my heart was absolutley racing during it, which fraked me out a little bit. Great show thoug Derren! Hopefully it’ll work on me properly next week.
i got stuck for about 20 seconds. well done derren
Din’t work on me at all. Might be because my mum was there in the room and she didn’t believe it would work form the start. Might try it on Channel 4 + 1 on my own to see if it work,s
I was glued to my seat. My thighs and butt were really heavy and I could not pull myself up. It had no effect on my partner and daughter sat next to me though.
I got stuck! My legs felt dead heavy, and I couldn’t move my back! I tried to call in but I didn’t get through π
I noticed lots of pictures flashing throughout the show of a man stuck to a chair, and there was a beeping sound every time it flashed on. Did anyone else notice this???
Nothing really but there was a weird sensation in my left hand?
I didn’t get stuck but did feel odd, like someone was trying to tell me something… Saw a man in a chair flash up on screen??? Interesting stuff!
Shame about that event. Hopefully the next one will have better results. I think my expectations were way too high for the sticky seat.
that was really amazing, my husband did not get stuck but i did, i could only get so far before there felt like there was a weight in my bum pulling me down. Darren Brown is FANTASTIC!! would be great to have more things like this. THanks
Never Stuck but I felt tierd my eyes rolled and felt sick went dizzy am fine now though weirdness
Oh yes stuck to my chair!!!
My legs from the knees down were like lead and i couldn’t move my toes, they didn’t feel anything at all (they are normally like ice) everything was just solid. all the way until the video telling us to stand up…just awesome!!!

Great show!, didn’t get stuck but my legs felt really heavy as if i’d done an hour or two heavy kicking training – still slightly tense now :o)
lovely relaxed feeling too though – thanks1
No effect. Not a sausage. Gutted.
not worked on me sorry.
Everything happened. Did it. Dit dit
Didn’t get stuck, but became very hot and heavy during your preamble and whilst watching the film Daughter was heaving breathing and very hot and panicky as well. odd!!!
I found it difficult to stand, but managed it. I waked across the floor and nearly fell over. My Nanan tried getting up and fell back onto the settee.
and what was that flashing image of someone tied to a chair??
I didn’t get stuck to my seat … but I’ve got an overwhelming desire to become a top hairdresser. It’s scary. All I can think about now is hairdressing. Derren please help!
You will only by stuck if you have convinced yourself that you will be – that’s how it works – it’s not a special power and nothing to do with intelligence.
Enjoyed the rest of the show.
xx
I didn’t get stuck π
Im well disappointed.
My legs felt heavy when i stood up but that’s about it.
Aww it didn’t work on me >< I blame my legs being too short to be completely flat on the floor though π (or, y'know, maybe I should just get a shorter chair…)
Nope nothing. Gutted tbh. Was there shouting voices playing behind the spinning lines or was that outside my house????
I did get stuck and I left a biscuit out of reach as I honestly didn’t think it would work but wanted to try anyway, this turned out to be a bad idea as my dog found his oppertunity and ate the biscuit leaving me to watch, I feel he was rather amused I however am not so impressed. His walk tomorrow will be shortened considerably…
I Could Move My Back And I Could Raise Myself Off The Chair But My Legs And Arms Were Shaking So Much That I’d Fall Straight Back Down Again.
I Was Stuck For About a Minute But I Still Have Pins && Needles In My Legs!! Haha
I didn’t get stuck to my chair however when the clip was being played I started laughing uncontrollably and it was almost like nervous laughter and my eyes started to water. I also noticed that although I didn’t get stuck to my chair, it was a lot easier getting up after the blue clip was played. Brilliant stuff Derren π
I didn’t think it was going to work on me, but it did. I was stuck there until the clearing tone.
Nope didn’t work on me or anyone with me.
I was totally stuck. Maybe took a risk doing this, I’m epileptic, but it was great fun. My eyes were rolling back uncontrollably about 20 seconds into the video and I struggled to keep my head up. Luckily I was alone so I didn’t scare anyone!
It took me several minutes to be able to put any kind of weight on my legs and I wasn’t able to stand up completely straight until the clearing noise was over.
REALLY great Derren, really great, thank you.
Worked for me, felt fused to the leather in my couch!
Wasn’t as “stuck” as the people on screen who were participating, or those who phoned in…I could move my legs from the knees down, and could remove my back from the sofa I was leaning on…could generally move around in my seat a fair bit, but as for the “nether regions” ( π ) and the very very top of my legs, it felt as though I had been drilled to the seat.
Felt heavy when trying to get up after the clearing tone but all was fine after 10 secs or so.
Thanks for the show tonight – was great!
Have a good weekend at Brown Towers, Derren and crew!

Sorry, 2 people here not stuck.
Yes, it worked on me.
Couldnt move my arms or legs never mind stand up!
I was stuck! From the base of my spine to the very tip of my toes…
It felt like they were locked…like they weighed really heavily and I couldn’t lift my feet off the ground o_O
My back was fine, I could lean forward in my chair but couldn’t stand up at all.
Amazing!
Felt really great to actually be able to take part, rather than simply watching other people have all the fun π
Thank you Derren! xx
It was weird… I noticed all the shadows and flashing pictures and stuff, and I had this really weird feeling in the pit of my gut, but all that happened was my legs felt like I’d been doing crunches or something for ages – I’ve always thought I was a bit resistant. But my flatmate got stuck solid – He’s only just managed to get up now, and he finds it really funny.
It didn’t work on me. I never expected it would do.
wasn’t stuck but leg muscles started twitching :S???
the guy who gave derren his shoes cracked me up :D:D:D
Derren how you did that I don’t know, but I have only just this minute came unstuck from my sofa whilst my boyfriend, who wasn’t effected, mocked me. It felt like my back locked up, my shoulders where pinned. I’m a little hot and bothered at the moment, mildly freaked out but greatful for the experience. But is their any reason why my head is twinging?
i kinda got like pins and needles up my legs and couldn’t move from my knees to my elbow.
damn that was a strange expericence π THANK YOU!
Sorry didn’t work at all although like a few others I did see the odd flash of someone tied to a chair in balck and white, it looked a bit like someone from the middle ages possibly with a hat on the flashes were too quick to be really sure. So all round this was a huge let down
Well, it didn’t work on me but my dad was next to me and after it was over I tried speaking to him but he was too transfixed to the screen and he didn’t respond to me. I’m a little freaked out!!!
That was so weird…my legs just wouldnt go anywhere :S very bizarre…
ps. kathleen – hows the weather in canada? going there in 2weeks π cant wait π
I was stuck – only for the actual film but pretty damn stuck – it was really wierd – i couldn’t even blink.
I was smiling deliriously and laughing, Amazing Derren
I took longer as usual to get up. In the middle of the film, my hands felt very heavy. It was quite comfortable though… Wish I was stuck to my sofa. Derren you’re a genius.
