Mind Control - Is It Real?

by donnabee

Derren Brown uses mind control to perform various tricks on his
subjects.  One particular trick that he does involves a voodoo
doll. On his website you can see this trick performed on a lady
and she is completely amazed at the end result of the trick.

Derren tells the lady that he needs to give the voodoo doll a
'soul' and removes a ring from her finger.  He then inserts the
ring into the voodoo doll, which serves to psychologically
connect her and the doll.  Turning his back to her Brown begins
winding a string around the victim's legs and when asked how she
is feeling she says her legs feel heavy.  Brown turns around and
shows her the bound legs of the voodoo doll.  He then proceeds to
ask her to move her arms and while she is flapping them he begins
to wrap the string around the arms of the doll and the lady
slowly becomes unable to move them.

Next Derren has the lady begin counting.  As she counts he
begins to wrap the string around her mouth and eventually the
lady is unable to speak.  At this point Brown says the only
reason why you can't speak right now is because you believe it in
your head.  He offered the psychological suggestion that she
could not speak and without hesitation she believed it.  Brown
encouraged her to question the suggestion he had presented to her
and that she could in fact talk and there was nothing preventing
her from doing so.  Immediately she was able to talk.

Brown then revealed that he never put her ring in the voodoo
doll at all and that it was still on her finger.  The lady was of
course shocked because the psychological suggestion was so strong
that she never thought to question the removal of the ring.  By
presenting the lady with psychological suggestion, he was able to
control her mind and her actions. 
Brown also practiced mind control at a race track where he was
able to take a losing ticket to the cashier who paid him as if
the ticket was the winner.  Derren Brown will make eye contact
with the cashier and tell her it is actually the winning ticket. 
Initially the cashier might return the ticket and say that it was
unfortunately a loser.  Brown will hand the ticket back and tell
he or she that the ticket was indeed for the winning dog.  Upon
examining the ticket for the second time, the cashier says you
are right, it is a winning ticket and pays him accordingly. 
After he collected his 'winnings' Brown asks the cashier who the
winning dog was.  When he responds that his ticket was not for
that particular dog and questions why he was paid the cashier is
completely confused.

In the end, a confident suggestion was all Derren used to trick
the cashier into believing the ticket was a winner.
