when you think of something hard enough you begin to show it in your base body and facial language. I believe that Derren thinks of something hard enough to let his face alter slightly to make the other person think of something subconsciously.

I tried this trick on a my dog once. I sent thought like die die and it freaked. This is dangerous stuff I should never have done it.

Could be. It's not hard to stare back, but when everyone has to rub their face because they feel a pain, I've got my theory.

He was attacking his opponent spiritually. the feeling of incredible terror is definitely devil's works. if barren did not stop, this man could have had spiritual manifestation. i've seen it b4.

Derren Brown has said these are tricks done on the TV audience, not the folks in the street.DB has said in interviews that his shows are not being honest with the audience...He has said he will do this (or any trick) with hundreds of people till he has recorded a few responses that fit what he want the TV audience to believe. Then when showing the two "fitting" responses (out of a hundred) you, the audience (only seeing the two "fitting" responses) believe he has accomplished something.

wait that was supposed to be a reply to WASuP...

hahaha!!! very SciFi!!! I think it has more to do with how he's staring at them. You can show certain feelings with how you stare at people. Mixed with other emotions it makes people feel wierd...

think you might be onto something..also.. we know humans literally radiate the energy from their body which their state of mind produces. We're also affected by another's field of energy and whether or not this has anything to do with the trick, I'm sure he has the power to produce a really strong state like confidence or 'I have this power over you!' and communicate it on another level..Sounds a little "out there" but thats the definition of what he does! :P
