ez a szemlélet korlátozza,
about the world are limited
fabrikálunk magunknak.
in this infinite data source.
that we could think about,
what to pay attention to.
minek szentelünk figyelmet.
próbálunk tájékozódni,
with our own skewed compasses,
roppant meggyőzőek.
are utterly convincing.
még csak nem is a miénk.
that we live by aren't even our own.
örököljük a szüleinktől,
at a young age from our parents,
their own skewed beliefs,
their own unlived lives.
we take all that onboard,
be successful to be loved;
a szeretet kulcsa a siker,
mindig a sajátjaink elé kell helyeznünk,
other people's needs first;
amit senkinek sem árulhatunk el.
we couldn't possible tell people.
mit gondolnak rólunk mások,
about what other people think of us
for how we edit reality and form a story
mindent történetekre,
mutatok be a tévében,
experiments on TV,
coming up, called "Secret."
Secret címmel.
határait feszegetem,
with mentalism, mentalism,
of getting inside your head.
igencsak kétes mestersége.
nagyon népszerű volt
for this kind of stage mind-reading,
an act known as the Oracle Act.
members of the audience,
you might ask a psychic,
they would write their initials
where they sat in the audience.
egyesével vette kezébe a borítékokat.
would take an envelope one at a time,
a bennük rejlő kérdést.
what question was sealed inside.
he would try and answer the question
annak, aki feltette.
sokaknak mennyire vonzó a gondolat,
to the seductive appeal
offering you easy, simple answers
egyszerű válaszokat nyújt
és szorongásaira.
aki leírta a kérdését.
that wrote questions.
I know somebody's guarding them.
de valaki begyűjtötte őket.
Köszönöm a kérdéseiket.
Thank you all of you that did this.
a couple of things before I start.
through these envelopes.
They are thick black envelopes.
I can't see through them.
nem ismerem magukat,
I don't know any of you
pszichológiai képességeim,
any special psychological gifts,
There's a couple here.
because the writing undulates.
normally means
a választ a kérdésére,
the answer to the question themselves,
about the future, right?
ebből a kevéske írásból,
from this minimal handwriting,
maybe 40s, but let's find out.
Mindjárt kiderítjük.
about the future --
in this big central section here.
középső részen tartózkodik.
if you wrote one,
to see in the center.
Jessica: Igen.
Jessica: Jessica.
Jessica: Jessica.
Semmi elismerő moraj?
Little murmur of approval, thank you?
I won't ask your age,
essentially about the future?
DB: Igen?
DB: Yes?
DB: Oké.
DB: Yes. OK.
Mit akar tudni Jessica a jövőről?
What did Jessica ask about the future?
40-es évek elejével?
depending how old we are.
Jessica: Yes, I am.
Jessica: Az vagyok.
who wants to leave Virginia.
el akar költözni Virginiából.
are going to come together to get out.
és sikerül-e?
és elköltözhet-e Virginiából.
to sell your farm and get out of Virginia?
It's a great question!
What did you put?
Hogyan írta le?
the farm in Virginia?"
a virginiai farmot?”
akik látnoknak tettetik magukat,
if you are pretending to be psychic,
a yes or no on this.
mert nem tudja ellenőrizni.
You have no way of verifying it.
az megragad a maga fejében,
it'll just stick in the back of your mind,
a döntéseire és tetteire.
decisions you make.
will get what you want.
akkor azt helyezi előtérbe,
you tend to focus on them
should be focusing on more,
Nem igaz?
Jessica: Igen.
Jessica: Yes.
Jessica: Nem.
Jessica: No.
A bit of a guess, but ...
Csak tippelek...
Stop doing this!
Ne csinálja már!
to India recently as well.
going on there. Yes? No?
Igen vagy nem?
de semmi sincs a csillagokba írva,
to say it like it's written in the stars
felelősséget vállalnia érte.
to take responsibility for it.
Jessica: Igen.
Thank you. Let's do another one.
maybe late 40s, I would say from this.
talán a 40-es évei végében.
if you think this is you.
ha magára ismer.
on camera would be amazing.
gyorsan találja meg.
Don't move. Don't move.
Ne mozduljon!
Nem vagyok olyan alacsony.
you did as you got up.
put something on here --
but you did it as you stood up --
vagy lábfejével? Igen vagy nem?
or your left foot, yes or no?
DB: Igen.
jelzett valamit, amikor felállt.
a nice clear signal as he stood up.
és mondja, hogy „igen”.
left-hand side and say "yes."
helyezze át a súlyát,
put your weight on the other side,
and say "yes" again.
Ez nagyszerű volt! Foglaljon helyet.
Good one! Take a seat. Take a seat.
Szükségem lesz rá.
I'm going to change microphone for this.
That would be great there.
have the clues as you stand up.
to what I'm saying.
next to you are doing either.
akkor ők is sokat elárulnak.
that's always very helpful.
felszabadítaná,
is only that it just kind of gets
wording in your head.
a question in your head,
just send it to me,
without anything written down.
hogy nincs leírva.
but send me your name as well.
de a nevükkel együtt.
or whatever the question was.
vagy bárhogy is fogalmazta meg.
I'm guessing you're quite near the front,
elöl és középen.
in the center at the front.
the front, vaguely central, I think.
azt hiszem, középtájt.
something like that.
Remek, köszönöm.
so that I know where you are,
állítson meg, kérem,
Allan: Yes.
Allan: Igen.
hear the reserve in his voice?
Just say "yes" again for me?
or access to something.
Feleljen igennel vagy nemmel!
with a password in your head?
that sort of thing?
to finish on this one. Let me ---
and millions of people potentially.
akár emberek milliói.
Allan: Of course.
Allan: Persze.
I imagine it's a word, right --
written in front of you,
of a letter somewhere in the middle,
az egyik középső betűjére,
that's in the middle.
Allan: Yeah.
Allan: Igen.
Allan: Correct.
Allan: Igen.
Allan: Yes.
Megváltoztatta.
He changed his mind.
to yourself in your head.
arra most ne gondoljon.
get that out of your head,
to get you to pay attention
hogy fókuszáljanak,
to find important,
that I want you to ignore,
amit most csinálok.
about what I'm doing,
mert született történetszövők vagyunk,
we are story-forming creatures,
árnyalt világba,
and subtle world
összetett, árnyalt emberekkel,
like you and me, Allan,
to these neat characters
we're telling ourselves,
„Ő nagyképű”, „Ezek megbízhatatlanok”.
"He's arrogant," "They can't be trusted."
that I can somehow read your mind.
hogy én gondolatolvasó volnék.
as well, aren't you, at the moment.
hogy eladja a cégét, igaz?
why I love doing this
figyelmesebbek és éberebbek,
to try and be more alive and alert
sokszínűségét és árnyaltságát
and the subtlety of what's real,
amely felett elsiklunk.
going on that we don't know about,
viselkedjünk emberségesen,
we can be kinder to people
there's always fear behind their stress,
gyakran félelem rejlik,
to meet it as defensively,
for what they are
csupán történetek,
isn't all about us.
Where are you? Where is he?
A jelszava „ariboy”.
Your password is "ariboy."
Allan: Igaz.
Allan: That's correct.
Thank you very much indeed.
Köszönöm szépen.
ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Derren Brown - Psychological illusionist, authorWith beguiling feats of mind reading and suggestion, Derren Brown explores psychological manipulation and its implications for the human experience.
Why you should listen
Derren Brown redefines magic through must-see TV and stage events, exhilarating audiences for 20 years in the UK and now worldwide with his brand of psychological illusion. He has gained a reputation as a performer consistently prepared to break down boundaries.
Amid a varied and notorious TV career, Brown has played Russian Roulette live, convinced middle managers to commit armed robbery, led the nation in a séance, stuck viewers at home to their sofas, motivated a shy man to land a packed passenger plane at 30,000 feet, hypnotized another to assassinate Stephen Fry, persuaded a racist to change his ways and lay down his life for an illegal immigrant, and created a zombie apocalypse for an unwitting participant after dramatically ending the world.
Brown's most recent special, Sacrifice, is currently streaming on Netflix, and his show Secret will be playing on Broadway at the Cort Theatre from September 6, 2019 through January 4, 2020. He is the author of Meet the People with Love, Happy: Why More or Less Everything Is Absolutely Fine and Confessions of a Conjuror.
