1. Vicky, you were really brave in all senses of the word! I love that the video is on here and thank you for letting us see how well it all worked. I’m yet to try it in my own house – we were round at a friend’s, trying to ‘bring on’ her overdue baby (which worked – she gave birth to a lovely wee girl today) – so I didn’t feel settled enough to give the hypnosis a decent go. Now, I’m dying to try it, as I started to lose the feeling in my legs as soon as Derren started speaking – I didn’t need any subliminals. So, thanks for joining the blog and replying to everyone. And don’t fret about the idiots – there are a lot more friendly faces than a-holes. My fave bit of your vid is when Derren says no more calls… those wee hands of yours going up in exasperation… It’s made my night, ta. x
2. @ JayKay
   aww thank you so much, that has made my night.
   im getting more and more nasty comments and its starting to get to me 🙁
   but thats really cheered me up/
   congrats on your friends baby girl 🙂
3. hahahahah, love the mum trying to give vicky support ‘its all in your mind, trust me its in ya mind’ lol
   i wonder if the queen was watching 😀
4. lol at the end. ‘OH, MY, GOD’ Great video.. shame i wasn’t sitting comfortably, but my legs were really heavy!
5. i didn’t stick but the video scared the crap out of me for some reason once it was over i was fine but a little shaken really weird have no idea why it did that, i also had no affect what so ever on anyone else i was with. Though my friend said it made her laugh the whole time, but it almost sent me to tears.
6. HORRIBLE!

   I can’t believe people subject themselves through this. Very disturbing to watch. Vicky you are a true sport. I can see the fear in your face. Disturbing.
7. Hey Vicky

   Great video, ignore the idiots messages, thats Showbiz for yah! you can of course either ignore them, delete them, report them as abusive, or in your youtube settings disable messages.

   Well done you!
8. Brilliant Video.

   God I love PWA! Derren your a Genius, how on earth did you persuade us all to believe we were stuck!?!

   Watched it back on 4OD after last night live on Channel 4, I am pretty sure you persuaded us throughout and got us into a state of anticipation.

   I noticed a few white flashes throughout the show especially while you were talking about the video, was this a kind of focus setting point?

   PWA came up throughout my Psychology Degree I think you used suggestion on us?

   By hyping the experiement we were more aware of “being stuck” after the video finished, we wanted the event to be successful so it was. While watching the video with those swirling lines we focussed on what was going to happen and so it did? I was stuck to last night. Am I close to how it worked?
9. Lolz… poor girl. I felt really sorry her, I wouldn’t be surprised if she never wants to sit down again, lolz.

   It didnt work on me, maybe because I’m quite skeptical to all this.

   However it still doesn’t stop me from watching Derren doing what he does best.:)

10. Awesome video Vicky. I feel so cruel for laughing out loud as I watched it, but strangely jealous as it didn’t work for me and I was curious to see what it felt like.

    What’s that cheeky little pixie going to do to us next week?
11. “no angry calls to the Daily Mail from the paralysed middle classes”
    I used to go to a public school – my parents are middle class so are my family and friends
    ONE of my friends, however, is not…
    None of us stuck but my common “friend” did..
    did you target common people, derren?
12. you’ve started a new sofa craze! 🙂
13. Well done, Vicky! That was an awesome video =D

    There are some other pretty good videos about. I wouldn’t have been brave enough to film myself and put it on the internet. Those who are leaving mean comments are just ignorant, and need a swift smack around the head.
14. Didn’t do anything to me 🙁 Darn fascinating though, I must say!
15. Ma’am, I bow to you. Osu!
    Please send Vicky Green loads of signed goodies, Derren Brown’s team. 🙂
    As for the nasty YouTube comments: Illegitimi non carborundum.
16. Love it 😀

    Vicky, so funny but bless you when you started crying I felt so sorry for you. Your reactions are classic!

    Btw I haven’t read the comments on YT because on most videos there are nasty comments that really aren’t worth reading. Some people are vile for the sake of it, feel sorry for them because they can’t be happy if that’s how they get their kicks.

    I loved your video. Thanks for filming yourself and letting us watch it 🙂 xx
17. Vicky- Meant to add don’t read the comments on YT if some of them are nasty. Not worth it. Probably just jealous because it worked for you and you made a fab video. Sod ’em 🙂

18. For all the critics i didnt beleave at all this would work and im one of the biggest scepticks going but no doubt in my mind i could not get out of my chair my wife was so laughing at me because im the type of person not to be minipultaed at all and it worked well done Derren (sorry for the speliing im dyslexic
19. Derren, you jammy dodger… you’ve really messed up this time. Practised the lottery balls swap in Bulgaria first, didn’t ya?

    Tut tut tut.

20. Awww, poor Vicky!! You were awesome 🙂

    This is my video:

    It’s not as great as Vicky’s though! Infact it’s pretty pants, but oh well 😀
21. That was awsome Vicky! It was disturbing and funny and brilliant. I’m in Australia so I haven’t seen the program yet, but if it ever screens here, I’m not sure anymore whether I really want to get stuck after viewing this! Just ignore the idiot comments on You Tube. 90% of the videos on You Tube attract the most incredibly nasty comments and when they’re not leaving nasty comments about the video they’re turning on each other. You could upload a video about Mother Theresa and fluffy kittens and they’d still leave nasty comments. What kind of pathetic lives do these people lead that this is how they choose to spend their time? They don’t warrant a second thought. You’re awsome and so is your video : )
22. Vicky, well done for posting a vid of yourself being visibly upset, that takes some cojones,
    Helen, you’re a fox.
    Derren, you’re scary.

    I spotted the Giraffe stuff all throughout the toy store so I knew the girl would pick a giraffe, I didn’t see the name pop up though and whatever happened to the man with no shoes?
23. Really Impressed. I’m of the impression that the subliminal film part was a ruse. You’re a bif fan of misdirection.
    I assume the actual part of the show that worked on the people at home was the mild hypnotic suggestion contained in the speech played prior to and after the film. There was also some reinforcement used with one slide which said something about focusing on the parts that were stuck.
    You’re the most entertaining thing on TV man.,
24. Awwww Vicky!!! I felt so sorry for you when you panicked! 🙁 Dont listen to the nasty people …
    I felt a little weird watching the video I didnt stick but it seemed to frighten me a bit towards the end and I think that stopped me, I was going to try again on my own but after watching Vicky’s video I’m too scared!!

    Great show loved it all cant wait for next week XX
25. Hi

    Although I didn’t get stuck, was looking for comments on the two subliminal black and whote drawing pictures added in before and after the advert of the guy tied to a chair but havn’t seen anything, did anyone else spot them?? I even managed to get my pause button to land on one and take a picture very tricky with a LIVE TV box : )

    Good fun tho
26. Brilliant video…. well done Vicky
27. Well done vicky on having your video picked!!
    it didnt work on me but i have seen a video of one of my friends being stuck
    im am currently pursauding my parents to book tickets for Enigma when it comes on tour and i cant wait as it will be awesome!!!
    well done derren
28. So… Did he say “our switchboard is absolutely going mentalist”? About half way before the forst caller.
29. posterior posture 4 posterity
30. Good show Derren 😀
    Really looking forward to your next live event 🙂

    I didn’t realise people at home could be so stuck for so long! That was pretty amazing.
    However, I was disappointed with how long the subliminal flashes were shown during the show, I managed to identify both 🙁 which didn’t help.. But yes see you next friday!

    Luke. >.<
31. haha thats hilarious! if id have filmed you you;d have had me totally glued minus hands and lower legs, laughing hysterically because i felt like a right plank.

    i really think you should incorporate this stuck to your seat thing into your live shows, that would be brilliant!

32. Well done Vicky for posting the video! 😛
    It looked like it was pretty scary for you as I see you got really upset!
    I wish I had thought to record myself since i was one of the 50% that got stuck too although my friend didn’t!
    I did panic slightly but my friend laughing at me being stuck made me laugh too so it kind of distracted me from the realisation that i was stuck! Plus it took me a while to get up after it had finished, I needed some help from my friend! 😀
    It was all very weird but cool at the same time!

33. Derren, you absolute hero, the “All Your Chair Are Belong To Us” banner has made me even more of a fan of yours than I thought possible.
34. h
35. Someone get her a lever! Shes stuck! LOL! She got paranoid. Later it boring so I was looking at the curves 😉

    Derren your genius! I’m a big fan of yours. Hope to meet you one day 🙂
36. got*
37. This is truly a brilliant video. Love it!
38. Heya Vicky great video I think you’re a star! xxx
39. i got stuck watching it online on 4od ? did anyone else… or was it just like a placebo kinda effect?
40. thank you everyone for your kind words 🙂
    and im glad you all like my video hahahaha 😛
41. im am a huge fan of derren brown, but i was to scared to do it….. i had this vision in my head that i would never be able to get up and i would have to be cut out of the chair so i put my leg infront of my face so i couldnt see haha 🙂 but im curious….. do you recon if he played it to us backwards then we would all feel the urge to stand up, or have our feet stuck to the groud haha 🙂

    xoxo
42. Look forward to see the vid, but most of all .. ofcourse .. the show itself. Too bad that no-one can help me then anymore …. they will find me dead on my chair .. still stuck … heart attack … and I didn’t even get to see the bright light … bummer .. but hey .. I live with the white light .. only fair that I go downstairs by the end … (not that it was that fun there .. why would people want to stick there huh? Well .. If Brown asks them to do so .. ).
    Oh well … psychics do that too. In a way . Lot of words on top of the stuff .. but still ….

    The guy that did not get stuck but to whose behind the chair got stuck … Why the hell did you buy such subliminal chairs?! They are not trustworthy …. If the gate opens … The gatekeepers are not without importance (not that one
43. omg she looks very hysterical at the start…id be having a fit by now
44. Hey Derren, I uploaded a video of me sticking to my seat =)

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTaIfqpmxno

    enjoy 😉
45. Yes, def. reminds me of a session with Jomanda in Holland .. people got stuck there too. But then guided into that via a slightly different system. I did not feel a damn thing. Which made sense. If you had seen Jomanda working .. you’d know what I mean. Most probably know why they stick .. that they can snap out. That’s why I prefer to see those type of things more in an entertainment sector than in the ‘healing’ business or such …. Not all know how their system works (their own that is).
    Exploring your own inner .. that’s how people should see a bit more upon those things I think. Enjoying the ride, if possible. But only if you like and agree (give permission). With Brown .. participating .. you do give permission ofcourse. Without permission .. it should not be aired.

47. aww, Vicky, you’re adorable.

    being in the US, i only saw part of the show on youtube. i felt a little sluggish and lightheaded for a few seconds but that was it. no trouble standing. the effect started while Derren was talking, but went away a few seconds into the film.

    as Derren spoke, i was consciously aware of the verbal cues he was inserting – every time he says “as you try to un-STICK yourself” he’s really telling you to “STICK yourself”. even so, i felt myself being relaxed by his intent gaze and soothing voice.

    the film actually made my eyes hurt – they stung and watered – and that really brought me out of it. i’ve noticed this happening with other hypnotic pattern vids, esp. when my allergies are acting up.
48. Hey, was it me or it was the 25th ms of the video that had a picture of someone stuck on a chair or so? the milli second that person brain sees but the person doesnt realise, thats why it worked, am i wrong?
49. Check out this video of Derren on Dragons Den

50. I saw this vid earlier via twitter when Richard Wiseman posted it. I thought it was very good, cleverly done. 🙂
