seperti kita, Allan,
to these neat characters
karakter yang rapi
we're telling ourselves,
"He's arrogant," "They can't be trusted."
"mereka tak bisa dipercaya."
that I can somehow read your mind.
bahwa saya bisa membaca pikiran Anda.
as well, aren't you, at the moment.
perusahaan Anda juga, bukan.
why I love doing this
mengapa saya suka ini
to try and be more alive and alert
untuk lebih waspada
and the subtlety of what's real,
sesuatu yang nyata,
going on that we don't know about,
yang tidak kita ketahui,
we can be kinder to people
dan baik kepada orang lain
there's always fear behind their stress,
ada ketakutan di balik stres mereka,
to meet it as defensively,
berlaku defensif,
for what they are
sebagaimana adanya
isn't all about us.
bukan hanya tentang kita.
Where are you? Where is he?
Di mana dia?
Your password is "ariboy."
Kata sandi Anda adalah "ariboy."
Allan: That's correct.
Allan: Benar.
Thank you very much indeed.

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.
