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.
Nothing happened at all, was able to stand up normally. Really wanted it to work as well.
I didnt stick however my boyfriend is STILL stuck.. he is unable to move anything at all.. its pretty worrying its like 10.11pm shit..
Awww it didn’t work on me ><. I guess maybe I could blame my lack of leg length though, sadly too short to get my feet completely flat on the floor 😛 (Or, you know, maybe I could just get a shorter chair….)
Not stuck at all neither is my dad but my dog wined a bit when the film was on must have just been the sound
Didn’t work for me, nor the two others I was with, felt a little heavy though
No Didnt work on me!
hi, im 13, it didnt stick me to the chair but when i stand up i whant to bend my knees and it fells like im deliberatly doing it.
Nope! Nothin at all! 🙁 x
My feet were messed up, I could stand but I could barley lift them to walk.
I was sitting on the edge of my bed though so it doesn’t really count.
No, didnt work 🙁
Very disappointed….
No nothing happened to me, but great show!
It didn’t work with me or my mum. Oh well, never mind, enjoyed the show very much so though. 🙂
Unfortunately, we are taking full advantage of this by covering her in bread rolls and fag buts …
It didn’t work on me 🙁
I don’t think I was letting myself absorb it properly though.. my mum kept staring at me and it was really distracting. 😛
I would love to see the repeat and try again! Though there’s probably no chance of me getting the TV to myself. 🙂
Whilst watching I became aware of a mist/haze everywhere, except for around the television that seemed brighter than usual. My hands tingled, and despite feeling very sluggish I managed to stand up. Feel a tad odd now though……
I really, really wanted it to work. I followed the instructions, did the breathing etc, but when the film came on all I could think about was how much it was like listening to ambient music (maybe Aphex Twin?) on our xbmc with the visualisations turned on. It was very pleasant. I was waiting for it to do something interesting but then it was over and I stood up without difficulty. Am rather disappointed :/
Didn’t work I’m afraid. Shame – we were all hoping it would
Completely unaffected. I sort of half wanted to be though. Goes a way to proving that I can’t be influenced by these things like I suspected. Next up – can I be hypnotised?
WOW! I genuinely just got stuck, lower body felt very heavy and although I tried to stand up several times the feeling just got stronger. Worked for about a minute then wore off.
FANTASTIC!!
Worked for me for the duration. I really tried but my whole body felt so heavy. Couldnt even pick up the phone to call the show. Amazing!
I didn’t get stuck at all. I noticed the whole way through the show the flashing images though, so maybe because I noticed it didn’t work? So disappointed 🙁
Going to try again with the repeat, on a different chair.
yep…you got my friend tash as well…her boyfiend Phil’s just texted…and is absolutely delighted!!!
Nah.
for me it worked,numbess in my legs,a weight on my stomach and arm’s..i noticed when the ad breaks came on,the girl on the sofa to the left had a black band over her stomach…
hubby tried it, no joy =(
I didn’t get stuck but felt really heavy, and I cried and felt really upset. That bit puzzled me, I know it happened to a girl in the screen test but it was weird. Still, another great show Derren, I think I really do love you, x
Wow i`m still stuck in my chair and can`t stand up..I don`t know if it`s down to Darren or my big fat ass and 8 cans of Stella wife basher…..God i need a peeeeee
ps. I was able to stand when the “stay calm…” etc messages began to appear, it just seemed to melt away. Before then I was totally stuck. Loved every second.
I was stuck on my sofa after the film fisnished, couldn’t mover my hands off of my legs and when i tried to lift my legs they felt like they were cemented to the ground. This only lasted for about 10 secs after the film had finished though
I didn’t get stuck I am gutted couldn’t stop giggling though maybe that had something to do with it, have recorded it though will try again when I can concentrate x
My girlfriend and I didn’t get stuck 🙁 we really wanted to. X
Yes I stuck. really didn’t expect to. embarrassed at having to shot for my girlfriend to come from the other room to get me up as I was panicking a little. she refused to take part, wish she had now and she might understand I wasn’t making it up! it seemed to be my quad muscles that didn’t want to respond.
I don’t think it was the video itself that did anything, but more the thought that it might, people convinced themselves this video would stick them to their chairs, so it did (or didn’t). But maybe i’m wrong.
great program, Derren.
No I wasn’t stuck sorrysorrysorry. Did feel a small resistance getting up but not strong.
I always was a stubborn sort.
It Worked! i was stuck until the instructions came up i couldn’t move at all except my fingers it was amazing!
I didnt Derren, but loving the shows, great tv
I was able to stand but had heavy legs and felt uncomfortable throughout the whole thing. My partner got stuck to the sofa completely, hands on legs too. Stayed there for quite a while…wierd! You’re a clever chap Mr Brown.
through the film my heart was beating reeally loud and my leg kept twitching :S after the film i could move a little bit but my theighs and hands felt really heavy it but then it only lasted for a little bit it was weird but loved it!!!
I didn’t stick, but got heavy and shaky. Will it work again if I rewatch it on TV? I only have a tiny screen!
Toni (Simone’s daughter) can now move her hands…that’s it!!!!
I didn’t stick to my chair but I did wet myself and forget my own name for ten minutes.
I didn’t stick but when I tried to get up I felt a slight pressure against my chest, as though a large, soft pad was being pressed against me. Then for a few minutes afterwards my left arm felt really heavy and stiff! Don’t know why just the left one!
no did not work for me, had hoped it would, respect to you derren!!!
I Was Stuck in my chair and my back was stuck my hands and arms were stuck on my lap and i couldnt move them
I was momentarily stuck (for like 5 seconds). im the kinda guy who really does not believe this stuff. However, before the final adverts and just before the video there were pictures flashing for like 1 or 2 frames every now and then, i managed to see the last one: it was a guy lying back in his chair with his head back.
Am i the only who saw this?
If so… I’m awesome
Don’t skip this post!
Didn’t work on me. I did see two flashing images of what seemed to be a man fighting to get out his chair, bound by rope round his waste in black and White.
Nah I didn;t get stuck at all, felt sick though… I did notice quite a few subliminal pop ups of a guy tied to his chair with rope during the show which is what I think affected people and not the actual film, I reckon the actual film was a misdirection from what’s actually happening.
Bit gutted… I did Sky+ it though so I think I’ll try it again when I have some mates over 🙂
didn’t work but got it on sky+ 🙂
Worked for me but for only 10-15 seconds as got really freaked out and heart started to race! only worked on my bum – its like my mind wouldnt let me get up! SOO wierd!
I definatly felt something happening but about half way through I acidentally fought against it and….nothing happened. My own stupid fault lol. Really enjoyed the show though and can’t wait till next week.
For everyone saying they’re dissapointed, he did say that it wasn’t going to work on everyone.
