Welcome to Derren Brown Tricks

Volume 1

First of all – a big thanks for buying my ebook!

The effects I’m revealing in this book and some of the strongest in all of mental

magic. All of these effects can be successfully performed by a complete beginner

almost immediately. Please, do yourself justice though, read through the book

several times and practice by speaking out loud. If you do this, I promise – you will

be baffling your mates and literally be the star attraction of any party of club you go

to!

I have written the instructions as concisely as possible. It has taken me a long time

to work through countless magic books in order to provide this information – I’ve

done the hard work for you, so the last thing I wanted to do is over complicate

things with unnecessary information. For each trick, I have explained the Effect, the

Basic Secret and then a Full Methodology which will allow you to amaze whomever

you perform on.

Each of the main tricks has a full script you can use when performing. Feel free to

change it to suit your needs. The words in (italic brackets) explain what you should

be doing whilst reading the script.

What’s more, I’ve included a special bonus effect in this ebook – check it out right at

the end!

The Invisible Touch:

Although Derren Brown did not invent the principle for this effect, you will have seen

this perform this trick with ‘the twins’ and also ‘the lap dancers’ in his TV show. It is

a classic trick of mentalism any completely impromptu. You can do this at any time

and I’ve personally freaked a lot of people out whilst doing this at clubs and parties.

If you want an effect to build a reputation on – read on!

Basic Effect

You ask 2 friends if they would take part in a psychological test with you. You ask

one of them to close their eyes. Whilst their eyes are closed you tap their friend on

the hand twice. You then ask the person with their eyes closed to open their eyes

and ask them if they felt anything. They will swear that they felt two taps on their

hand – even though you were nowhere near them… in fact you could even be stood

the other side of the room.

The person with their eyes open will be amazed that their friend felt your touch even

though she KNOWS you didn’t go near her. The person with their eyes closed will be

so positive that she felt 2 solid taps that initially she simply won’t believe that you

were nowhere near her! When everybody else watching confirms that you indeed did

not touch her – the 2 friends, plus everyone else in the room will be amazed!

Basic Secret

You actually touch both people! The trick uses a concept known as ‘dual reality’.

Each of the friends thinks that the ‘psychological test’ is happening at a different

time. You ask Friend 1 to close their eyes, then secretly tap their hand as you are

moving towards Friend 2. After a few seconds, you dramatically (but silently) tap

Friend 2. Finally you ask Friend 1 to open their eyes. The trick is complete.

Full Methodology

(You need to find two friends, who are willing to take part in the trick. In this case I

have called the friends Amy and Kate. You should stand with Amy to your right, and

Kate to your left. Do not make position obvious, it only needs to be approximate.)

You: Would you two like to take part in a quick little psychological test with

me? I've been practicing something and want to see if it works?

Friends: Yes, OK.

You:

Great! Basically I’ve been reading this psychology book and its talking

about how twins have been reported to have extra close bonds between

them – you know, they know what each other are thinking, or can feel

what each other are feeling. You’ve heard of that right?

Friends: Yes

You:

Anyway, I’ve been reading this paper about how this link can be created

between two friends by a third person like me if I can get you to think

‘in sync’ with one another. What’s you names bye the way?

Friends: Amy and Kate.

You:

OK Amy, what I want you to do is just stand still and completely relax. I

want you to look around the room and think about everything your seeing,

exactly how you think Kate would see it.

(Now you should talk about things which are actually in the room, for example if

your in a bar you should talk ask Amy to consider what Amy would think about the

music, the bar service etc, etc. What you say specifically here is unimportant – but it

creates a decoy for the real method..)

You: Amy, I want you to close your eyes and completely relax. For the

next minute or so I would like you to only give me one word answers – is that ok?

Amy: Yes

You: Amy, I want you to concentrate very hard remember if you feel anything

touch you. I’m going to lift you arm up in a moment, but after that – if you feel

anything, anywhere I want you to remember it. Is that clear?

Amy:

Yes

(At this point you should lift Amy’s left arm with your left hand, so that her hand

hovers around waist height. Let your right hand remain casually by your side. Once

you have done this let your left hand return to your side, leaving Amy’s hand

‘hovering’.)

You:

Kate! Watch this!

(As you say this, you should hold your index finger of your left hand up between

your face and Kate’s, and look Kate right in the eye. At the same time you should

turn your body in Kate’s direction and take a step away from Amy. As you do this,

allow your 4 th finger or your right hand to tap Amy’s hand twice. With a little

practice, you saying “Kate! Watch this!” combined with you holding your other hand

up and looking her in the eye means that Kate and everybody else watching will not

see you tap Amy. You should make the tap as fluid as possible. I keep my hand

moving all the time and simply stick out my 4 th finger twice as my hand moves close

to Amy’s.)

(At this point, silently, dramatically and deliberately, grab Kate’s hand and tap it in

exactly the same place, as you did Amy. Up until this point Kate and the audience

believe that no-one has been tapped. This is the dual reality in play, they will think

that it is now that Amy is feeling taps… not 10 seconds earlier.)

You: Amy, could you open you eyes please. I hope this has worked; I’ve only

managed to do it a couple of times so far. Did you feel anything at all?

(It’s important to be unsure of the result. This will stop people thinking that it is just

a trick, and that you really are performing a psychological miracle.)

Amy:

Yes

You:

What did you feel?

Amy: Taps

You:

How many taps did you feel?

Amy:

You:

Where did you feel them?

Amy: On my hand

(At this stage Amy will probably point to the exact point, if not you can further

question her.)

You:

Well I’m very happy! It worked! I actually didn’t touch you at all!

(At this point the true level of the effect becomes apparent, Amy will insist you

touched her, but EVERYONE else in the room will be positive that you never went

near her hand! People will ask you to do it again, be careful – until you are very

practiced at the secret tap, a good observer might be able to spot it!)

Closing Notes

That is the basic methodology that I use when I perform the trick. I have performed

it 100s of times and providing I only do it once per person, I never get caught out.

Feel free to adapt the script to suit your style. Instead of a ‘psychological test’ you

could claim that you have ‘psychic powers’ which let you touch people from a

distance. Remember, in the script above I suggested moving just a step away from

the person who’s eyes are closed. There is nothing to stop you walking to the other

side of the room, just tap them as you turn to walk away!

Divining a Memory:

This is a trick using Neuro-Linguistic-Programming a.k.a. NLP. NLP is a recently

developed branch on applied psychology and is used extensively in modern sales

training courses. Many say that it derives from hypnosis techniques – although it is

not hypnosis in itself. Many have also claimed it is a dangerous, manipulative

technique which can be used to take advantage of people. In this case, that is

exactly what we shall do – take advantage of the sub-conscious signals our eyes give

off in every day life!

Basic Effect

You ask someone to write down 3 different memories they have, on 3 slips of paper.

- A memory of an old friend

- A memory of a favourite piece of music

- A memory of a time they were in pain (like a cut or broken bone.)

You ask them to throw away two of the slips of paper, but not letting you see which

one they keep. You can then instantly announce just by looking at their eyes which

memory they are holding in their hand.

Full Methodology

NLP includes a system of ‘eye accessing cues.’ These are used to read information

about a person through the direction they are looking with their eyes. It is similar to

reading body language. It is commonly known that if someone is stood upright with

their arms folded they are being defensive. Luckily ‘eye accessing cues’ are not so

commonly known – and Derren Brown uses these regularly in his performances.

The NLP system of eye accessing cues that is required for this effect work for

‘memories’ only. If you ask someone to think of something that will happen in the

future, or a dream – this will not work. It must be a memory.

NLP eye accessing cues, are based on our five senses. You will see from the list of 3

memories above that 3 senses are covered:

Old Friend – Visual Image

Piece of Music – Audible Sound

Pain – Kinaesthetic (which means touch)

If you ask someone to visualise in their ‘minds eye’ a memory of an image, sound or

touch, they will tend to look in a specific place each time. You may have noticed it

yourself if someone asks you a question that you can’t quite remember the answer

to. You can’t help but move your eyes upwards or to the side in order to remember.

It is something that all people do subconsciously.

Below are the directions that ‘right handed’ people look when they are remembering

images, sounds and touch. If the person you are performing this effect on is left

handed, you must switch the directions left to right and vice versa.
