It was bound to be extremely dangerous and risky

He's a gobsh!te

Maybe I'm just a cynic but when my eyebrows come back down again, I'll let you know

16-02-2014 11:08PM

Yeh. They were advertising tickets for his live show in the ad break. It was clear from early on he wasn't going to be in proper danger. All part of the "entertainment".

I would of thought such programming to be a bit too lowbrow for you, no?

Ever since I discovered Derren Brown, my brows have been hoisted in an upwards fashion

PizzamanIRL · 16-02-2014 11:14PM

He's a good actor.

Rasheed · 16-02-2014 11:15PM

I don't care if he's full of shiite, he's still a ride.

Stavros Murphy · 16-02-2014 11:16PM

What fcuker started it again for him?

Is this the fella who is giving us all a chance of winning the lottery? 'It's all a matter of free will'?????

I seen him in an episode of CSI, he isn't.

Luckily a team of medical experts were on standby to regulate Keith’s body temperature and he regained his senses

That was indeed lucky that they just happened to be there and were not pre-booked as part of the entertainment.

NUTLEY BOY · 16-02-2014 11:20PM

Chill, sorry, relax. It was all just a dream.

“I believe that the people at home, if they look at it and extract themselves from the fact that it’s me on television, they will know in their heart of hearts that it really was real what happened on that day.”

Well congratulations on nearly killing yourself then I guess =/

I thought the show was called brain hacker, go figure.

Woah... where did that come from? lol...

No, as it happens I didnt watch it, just commenting that the whole thing smells of a stage managed piece.

Dunno where you get the idea that I would consider it "too low brow" for me... you mad bro?

Stavros Murphy · 16-02-2014 11:22PM

He might have regained his senses, shame the audience didn't. He's like a shyte version of David Blaine/Derren Brown. The Loncin of the entertainment world.

Seem to recall him saying that he'd personally bring the country to its knees...

No no, I was trying to make a joke, a really bad one at that.

He was never in danger, it was not extremely dangerous or risky. It is pure entertainment like any of the soaps or wrestling on tv. Keith Barry is a cock anyway. He is an entertainer/con artist, not a mind reader or "brain hacker". Its gullible folk like yourself that keep hin in business.

Gotta love these newbies with their witty posts. Ah, they'll learn.

Budweisser is the king of beers. They spent lots of money, time and energy telling me this. Why would they waste all that on me if it wasn't true?

Keith Barry spends a little less but can rely on numpties doing the hard graft of promoting his sub standard schtick by acting the maggot with publicity stunts like this.

He hacks into the one you're not paying attention to.

Laois_Man · 16-02-2014 11:49PM

Did nobody else burst a second hole in themselves when the "medic" announced there was no hearbeat.......and Barry groaning

As far as the trick going wrong is concerned.....OP........what exactly do you think was supposed to happen??

I was given tickets for his show last year in the gleneagle. It was all staged. A guy came up to my friend before the show and asked her to go on and pretend to fall "asleep" and then imagine she was Michael Collins. Keith Barry then looked for a "random" member of the audience and up she went. He then asked her loads of questions that she had been given and he magically knew who she was even though she fcuked up a bit.

With the pulse stopping, you can train yourself to relax so much that no heartbeat or pulse is present so you appear dead. Special forces in the army and fbi and things like that would be trained with it.

Magic isn't actually real.

I very much doubt you can train yourself to stop your heart from beating - slow it down sure, but stop it - no.

That trick is commonly done by having a small ball in your armpit - you press the ball against an artery that runs down the inside of your arm and the pulse in that arm, measured at the wrist, stops. Simples.

I never said it it would stop. I said you'd be so relaxed you would appear dead. I can't believe some people take this stuff so seriously.
