      I detected all of the hypnosis techniques in this video as they happened. (They won't reveal all of them at the end. Look at the room.) Watch Simon Pegg experience induced cognitive dissonance that rewrites his "history" in real time. This is all real, no video tricks.https://twitter.com/YouDoBio/status/998124053511761920 …

      @ScottAdamsSays you might enjoy this. Made me think of your recent podcast where you talk about memory, rewriting the past etc. How To Hypnotise Simon Pegg - Derren Brown https://youtu.be/sEmCQzueyEQ  via @YouTube

      No video tricks. Simon WROTE a BMX bike and sealed it in the envelope. The trick wasn't convincing Simon he wanted a BMX bike instead of a leather jacket. The trick was convincing the audience (and Simon) that he originally wrote leather jacket on the paper.

      No, it was just as presented in the video. I'm a trained hypnotist and this is easy stuff. I used to do a "magic" trick just like this on friends.

      It's a subversion of the sealed envelope trick. The hypnotism is real, but it's to convince the subject and audience that BMX wasn't the person's original choice. The swapped paper with "leather jacket" is to convince everyone that this falsehood is fact.

      That would be how magicians do it. Hypnotists can induce cognitive dissonance exactly as shown, and don't need the magicians trick. The "trick" for the hypnotist is that it doesn't work 100% of the time and you will not see video of it NOT working.

          The odds of success are better with the hybrid magician/hypnotist method. He primed both the subject and audience to believe BMX is NEW information. Even if the subject protests he/she wrote leather jacket, he has "evidence" to convince them that they're wrong.

          Both of you are right. Derren Brown began his career as a magician and re-branded himself as a hypnotist. His act is a a clever bend of both - magic technique as a backup when the hypnosis doesn't go as planned. (Camera tricks when both of the above fail.) 😉

          Scientists are very susceptible to slight of hand since they have an inherent belief that the universe doesn't play tricks. Your particular bias is to assume it's 100% hypnotism. You're just as susceptible to the trick as everyone else involved. Maybe moreso.

          And you may not be aware that the hypnotist already knows the red BMX was the guy’s “childhood dream gift”.

          And we also didn't see what happened when Simon was first asked. Did he give MORE THAN ONE answer? Did he mention a jacket in his list of stuff he wanted? Was he asked to write a FEW answers down? What was the chain of custody of the envelope? LOTS of unanswered questions.
