Keith Barry : Brain Hacker

FixdePitchmark

How does Keith Barry do his stuff.

Is it just hypnosis and suggestive thinking etc.

Watching him here - he got a guy to describe a photo - and it was exactly as it was. Him fishing at a lake.

Just hypnosis before hand.

It is just a bit annoying if the truth be told.

He's a subbie for Derren Brown. Derren hypnotised him and works him via a bluetooth earpiece.


It's that David Blaine I don't get. He's goood.

If you say Brain Hacker it sounds like Bray Knacker.

Just thought I'd mention that.

ooooooohhh right.

No seen him with golfer Shane Lowry and he got him to do something - Lowry wouldn't go along with that.

Just power of hypnosis I'd say.

Very good.

I'd say he use Psychokinesis to get people to go to his show.

You are sitting down on boards - then you find yourself in a Keith Barry show.

He is your man who take calls late at night from drunks who are racists too. "who is your man".

If he told Lowry to beat Tiger Woods to death with his nine iron next time he saw him, do you think he would?

Yes but Derren Brown never uses stooges.

Would like to know what Derren Brown's definition of a stooge is though.

I'd say his "Dont use stooges" is about as credible as a psychic's "I talk to the dead". I seen a show once where a guy was doing something similar to stuff Derren Brown/Keith Barry does and the trick to it was that he made such a show of it not being magic or psychic ability that people believed him when he said he was influencing people, reading them and all that lark. Turned out it was the same slight of hand, set up, misdirection stuff thats always been done but with people under the illusion they knew how he was doing it rather than the conventional "must be magic" angle.

Yes he's clever, he seemingly reads people's minds then says don't be silly that's impossible here's how I really did it, the explanation of course is a lie or misdirection as he calls it.

People go home thinking he's a master of body language, NLP etc and happy he let them in on the secret, a man of science and not a trickster like those other boring magicians pulling rabbits out of hats

He greatly underrated by the general public but regarded as one of the best by fellow magicians.

Some of the best slight of hand you'll ever see.

Very good from Daniels there - at least there is an honesty about the dishonesty from him.

Your man Barry is all a bit too serious.

Sir Arthur Daley

Debbie McGee was some mare in her day in her little magic outfits.

Eeden

Seriously, guys. Are you expecting that any one of these guys is really a psychic/medium/magician? The fun is that after the show, you try to work out how they fooled you. Because they DID fool you.

I like Derren Brown because he always tells you that he's full of shit, but then still manages to convince some of his audience that he's "genuine".

Plus I'm sure it took Daniels a long long time to perfect those moves while it probably took Barry or Dynamo a few minutes to pay the stooges.

Funny thing is people probably see Daniels as a bit of a joke but Barry and Dynamo as mystical and cool.

Seen keith record 1 of the shows... excellent to watch...

won the tickets on a facebook competition. Its the episode near the end of the series. Whether its real or not only a few can answer but hes making a good living from it and at the end of the day he does put on a good show.

I for 1 will watcb the rest of brain hacker im full sure im on 1 of the shots aswell " seen it on the recording screen"

In college we were taken to the taping of one of the shows he presented so as to see what goes into making a show. Barry came across as an absolute dick and his between filming banter was nasty and uncalled for. He was an absolute dick and seemed to think himself above everyone else in the room

Sir Arthur Daley

I have met him down in Kenmare a few times and is a pure snob and stuck up cnut.

Paul Daniels is on tour with his show and one day he gets píssed off with doing the tricks and asks the audience if they have a one to show him.

A man goes up on stage and tells Paul that he will need a table, some rope and the help of his lovely wife Debbie.

With this the man ties Debbie to the table, pulls down her knickers and starts riding her.

Paul Daniels says "Stop! Thats not a trick!"



The man replies "I know

but it's fúcking MAGIC

"
