about the world are limited
우리의 믿음과 이해는
이야기를 하고 있음을 의미합니다.
in this infinite data source.
무한한 데이터 자원이 있죠.
that we could think about,
무수한 것들이 있어요.
what to pay attention to.
어디에 집중할지 선택합니다.
with our own skewed compasses,
방향을 잡으려고 하기 때문이죠.
are utterly convincing.
완전히 설득력이 있습니다.
that we live by aren't even our own.
물려받게 되는 첫번째 것들은
at a young age from our parents,
their own skewed beliefs,
their own unlived lives.
we take all that onboard,
우리는 모두 가져갑니다.
성공해야 한다고 생각하면서요.
be successful to be loved;
other people's needs first;
우선으로 해야 한다거나,
we couldn't possible tell people.
커다란 무서운 비밀이 생기니까요.
about what other people think of us
걱정을 덜 하겠죠.
하지 않는다는 걸 알면요.
for how we edit reality and form a story
이야기를 만드는 법에 대한 비유이고,
오해하고 있다고 생각합니다.
커다란 심리 실험 무대에서
experiments on TV,
coming up, called "Secret."
제 첫 브로드웨이 쇼를 했습니다.
오시라고 부담 주는건 아녜요.
with mentalism, mentalism,
새로운 것을 하려고 합니다.
of getting inside your head.
수상쩍은 예술입니다.
for this kind of stage mind-reading,
전성기가 있었는데,
an act known as the Oracle Act.
공연을 하였고,
members of the audience,
you might ask a psychic,
그런 질문들을요.
they would write their initials
이니셜로 쓰고
where they sat in the audience.
어디쯤 앉아있는지 씁니다.
would take an envelope one at a time,
한번에 봉투를 하나씩 가져갑니다.
what question was sealed inside.
무엇인지 알려고 했을 겁니다.
he would try and answer the question
질문에 답하려고 할겁니다.
to the seductive appeal
질문들과 근심들에 대해
offering you easy, simple answers
사람들에게 제공하는 것은
증거라고 생각합니다.
that wrote questions.
누군가 질문을 모아 두었을 거에요.
I know somebody's guarding them.
Thank you all of you that did this.
참여하신여러분 모두 감사합니다.
a couple of things before I start.
말씀드려야겠어요.
through these envelopes.
볼 수 없습니다.
They are thick black envelopes.
얇은 검정 봉투이구요.
I can't see through them.
봉투 속은 보이지 않죠.
I don't know any of you
저는 여러분을 모릅니다.
any special psychological gifts,
단 한순간도 믿지 않습니다.
There's a couple here.
여기 몇 개가 있어요.
because the writing undulates.
글씨가 엉켜있기 때문입니다.
normally means
일반적으로
the answer to the question themselves,
모른다는 걸 뜻합니다.
about the future, right?
일반적입니다, 맞죠?
from this minimal handwriting,
구별하기 좀 어렵지요,
maybe 40s, but let's find out.
알아봅시다.
about the future --
in this big central section here.
누군가일 텐데요.
if you wrote one,
to see in the center.
Jessica: Jessica.
제시카: 제시카.
Little murmur of approval, thank you?
맞다고 하니 감사해요.
I won't ask your age,
나이를 묻지 않을께요.
essentially about the future?
해도 될까요?
DB: Yes?
DB: 네?
DB: Yes. OK.
DB: 네,
What did Jessica ask about the future?
제시카는 미래에 대해 무엇을 물었나요?
괜찮을까요?
다른 질문을 하거든요.
depending how old we are.
Jessica: Yes, I am.
제시카: 네, 맞아요.
who wants to leave Virginia.
여성이라고 생각합니다.
are going to come together to get out.
그런 것에 대해서요.
농장을 가지고 있다고 생각하고
to sell your farm and get out of Virginia?
생각하고 계시죠?
훌륭한 질문이었어요.
It's a great question!
What did you put?
당신은 어떤 질문을 제출했죠?
the farm in Virginia?"
당신이 심령술사 행사를 하고 있다면,
if you are pretending to be psychic,
a yes or no on this.
You have no way of verifying it.
검증할 방법이 없으니까요.
it'll just stick in the back of your mind,
영향을 미치게 될겁니다.
decisions you make.
가장 좋은 방법으로
will get what you want.
you tend to focus on them
더 집중해야 하는 것을 알고 있으며,
should be focusing on more,
전 생각합니다.
Jessica: Yes.
제시카: 네.
Jessica: No.
제시카: 아니요.
A bit of a guess, but ...
추측입니다만,
Stop doing this!
그만하세요!
to India recently as well.
인도도 갔었죠.
going on there. Yes? No?
맞나요?아닌가요?
to say it like it's written in the stars
대답에 책임감을 가질 필요가 있습니다.
to take responsibility for it.
Thank you. Let's do another one.
감사해요. 또 해볼까요.
maybe late 40s, I would say from this.
이걸 보고 말하는거에요.
if you think this is you.
당신이라고 생각한다면 일어나세요.
이 남자분께 마이크 드리세요.
on camera would be amazing.
Don't move. Don't move.
움직이지 마요. 그대로 계세요.
저 작지 않아요.
you did as you got up.
put something on here --
당신은 여기에 어떤 것을 넣었나요.
but you did it as you stood up --
네 혹은 아니요?
or your left foot, yes or no?
a nice clear signal as he stood up.
멋지고 깔끔한 신호를 주셨어요.
left-hand side and say "yes."
"네"라고 말하세요.
무게는 다른 쪽에 싣고
put your weight on the other side,
and say "yes" again.
Good one! Take a seat. Take a seat.
좋습니다! 앉으세요. 앉아요.
I'm going to change microphone for this.
저는 이 마이크를 바꿀 예정입니다.
감사해요.
That would be great there.
have the clues as you stand up.
더 이상 단서가 없을 겁니다.
to what I'm saying.
next to you are doing either.
그건 항상 매우 도움이 되니까요.
that's always very helpful.
is only that it just kind of gets
당신의 머리 속에
들어간다는 것입니다.
wording in your head.
찾을 수 있다면,
a question in your head,
just send it to me,
그걸 제게 보내면,
without anything written down.
시도를 해볼 겁니다.
여러분의 이름도 저에게 보내세요.
but send me your name as well.
마지막 남자분 성함이든,
or whatever the question was.
어떠한 질문이라도 쓰세요.
I'm guessing you're quite near the front,
꽤 앞쪽에 계신 것 같아요.
꽤 명확하기 때문입니다.
in the center at the front.
중간쯤에 있는 것 같아요.
the front, vaguely central, I think.
something like that.
그런 것 같네요.
so that I know where you are,
그래야 찾을 수 있어요.
Allan: Yes.
앨런: 네.
뭔가가 있어요.
hear the reserve in his voice?
다시 "네" 해주실래요?
Just say "yes" again for me?
or access to something.
어떤 것에 접근하고 있습니다.
with a password in your head?
머릿속에 있는 암호가 있나요?
DB: 컴퓨터 암호 같은 겁니까?
that sort of thing?
to finish on this one. Let me ---
and millions of people potentially.
수백만 명의 사람들도 알게 되죠.
Allan: Of course.
앨런: 물론이죠.
I imagine it's a word, right --
저는 단어를 상상하며 오른쪽-
written in front of you,
of a letter somewhere in the middle,
편지를 생각해 보십시오.
that's in the middle.
편지를 받으세요.
앨런: 네.
Allan: Yeah.
Allan: Correct.
앨런: 네.
Allan: Yes.
앨런: 네.
He changed his mind.
마음을 바꿨어요.
to yourself in your head.
얼른 지워버려요.
get that out of your head,
집중해 주세요.
그렇죠?
to get you to pay attention
모두에게 이것을 하려고 해요.
to find important,
that I want you to ignore,
할 수 있도록 하죠.
about what I'm doing,
생물이기 때문에 가능하며,
we are story-forming creatures,
복잡하고 미묘한 사람들로 가득찬
and subtle world
like you and me, Allan,
to these neat characters
잘 들어 맞는 캐릭터로
we're telling ourselves,
"그들은 믿을 수 없어."
"He's arrogant," "They can't be trusted."
읽을 수 있는 이야기와 같은 겁니다.
that I can somehow read your mind.
아닌가요.
as well, aren't you, at the moment.
why I love doing this
더 생생하게 의식하고 시도하게끔
to try and be more alive and alert
and the subtlety of what's real,
항상 일어납니다.
going on that we don't know about,
사람들에게 더 친절할 수 있습니다.
we can be kinder to people
두려움이 있음을 알기 때문이죠.
there's always fear behind their stress,
to meet it as defensively,
알아보기 시작할 수 있습니다.
for what they are
깨달아야 합니다.
isn't all about us.
Where are you? Where is he?
어디죠? 어디계시죠?
당신의 비밀번호는 "에어리보이."
Your password is "ariboy."
Allan: That's correct.
앨런: 맞아요.
Thank you very much indeed.
정말 감사합니다.

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.
