- Today's video is a little bit different.
I'm off to meet my mind reader friends who were on
the finals of Britain's Got Talent.
- Four, one, five.
- Four, one, five? That's exactly what I've got.
(audience applauds)
- [Steven] Hey.
- Hey
- We're gonna go and read some minds.
I say we, you're gonna go read some minds.
I have a mind reading challenge I've set for you as well
that we're gonna do a little bit later in the day.
- I'm excited.
- Yeah, okay, I like that confidence.
- We're here to film a video,
and you're just trying to stuff your faces with cupcakes.
DNA, all they do is eat cupcakes
That was such a cold rejection.
- Did you get that on camera?
- [Ray] Yeah.
- Keep that one in there.
- I have so much footage of me
just being rejected by strangers.
I just want to be loved.
Hey nice, they're up for it, they're up for having a go.
- Nice to see you.
(overlapped talking)
- I remember seeing you on the TV now.
- Yeah, we made the final this year of Britain's Got Talent.
Whenever we do this, we ask people to think of something,
often when we finish people say
"Ah, you know, I was too predictable.
I went with somebody too obvious."
I want you to understand what you're
about to think of is completely free choice.
I want you to think of somebody famous,
- Anyone you like. It could be unrestricted.
So male, female, real or fictional, dead, or alive.
- Please don't be influenced by the way we look.
I don't want you to look at me and think of James Gordon.
Or look at-
- Me and think of George Clooney
(laughter drowns out speaker)
Have you got somebody in mind?
- Mm-hmm.
- Josh you're thinking of somebody.
- Yup
- I'm gonna ask you to whisper the name to me.
Betsy you're going to whisper the name to Daniel.
(background noise drowns out speaker)
Just say your person's name in your mind.
- Who you went for was completely free choice.
- Yup
- I hope you get this.
I really want you to send me the surname.
- Okay.
- I was getting more of like a colour,
rather than a ...
Rather than a name.
Particularly the colour brown.
Because that's this person's surname, Darren Brown?
- Yeah.
- I need you to send me the name.
- Okay.
- It's interesting because when we do this,
I spoke to you about influence,
I believe, we found you on the street,
we've got a camera, it sort of feels
a bit like a pranking somewhere
(background noise drowns out speaker)
I believe you went for Ashton Kutcher.
- Yeah.
No way you got that.
- You didn't go for that person, you had a free choice,
I feel like I want to burst into song, but I won't.
I'm just gonna say, I believe you're thinking of Beyonce.
- Yeah.
- No way.
- This is a fictional character is that correct.
- It is.
- Is this Severus Snape?
- What?
- You went for someone who is famous around the world,
a lady, an actress. You're thinking of Kiera Knightley.
- You're thinking this, this is, is this Mark,
I want to say, Lee?
- Yeah.
- No!
- You thought of somebody that was from K-Pop world, right?
So it's not someone they're going to even know, right?
And they still got it.
Thanks very much, have a nice day guys, thanks.
This is not okay, they need to be stopped.
It's kind of making me a bit angry now.
I'm at that point where I'm like,
"No, I don't like people being better than me."
That was a ridiculously insanely good mind reading.
- Thanks.
- I'm kind of going to dislike you
as people because of that.
So, now we're going to go and check out,
we're gonna go to, well, do you know what?
Let's just go there and make it a surprise
- Surprise!
- And then, mind reading challenge.
Hey DNA, I'm thinking of a letter of the alphabet,
mind read me.
- J
(laughs)
- Dammit, you got lucky!
- So we arrived at Leicester Square Theatre,
because I wanted to show, I wanted to have a look at it,
because you guys are doing a show.
- We're so excited, we don't really like to ...
Pushing it on people in public-
- Like overdoing it, plugging the show non-stop,
buy tickets, buy tickets, buy tickets.
- It is Halloween, 31st of October.
- You can check it out, the details are there.
I'm going to put a link in the description.
If you want to see them live, they are phenomenal live.
Like, seeing it on camera, it's not nearly the same
as experiencing it live.
Look at that.
- Ouch.
- Link in the description, go check it out, go buy tickets,
tell them I sent you, you'll have a blast.
Alright now-
- They might even see you there at the show.
- Can you give me a free ticket?
- We can give you a free ticket.
- You can't say no, because I asked you on camera.
- It's fine, but you gotta come.
(vocalises)
- Why're you checking your watch?
- He's checking his watch!
- I just, I've got, you know I've got a thing.
So I know a lot of people watching this will think,
"It's 2017, maybe you've got some kind of electronics
on you where you can communicate."
- Absolutely no way could we use any electronics.
- I think you should have taken that out before.
In all seriousness though,
I've got a mind reading challenge for you,
and I know this is a bit invasive,
but I'm gonna check your ears, I'm sorry, do you mind?
Just so others know.
I'm just doing this, take my word for it,
no microphones in there, I know right, I'm sorry.
Yeah, yeah.
Nice, nothing in there.
We're going to go on a little bit of a walk,
but I don't want you to have a phone.
Ray, could you hold that for me please?
You stay here, but turn around for a second,
because I don't want you to see where we're going.
Let's go this way, let's go this way. Okay.
- I can see you in the mirror
- Well, don't look in the mirror then.
- Alright so, what we're going to do right now,
is we're going to go into a shop.
I'm going to pick up any object,
then we're going to call him up,
and see if he can tell me what the object is.
Where should we go?
Let's go Boots.
I'm trying to think of something
that he wouldn't think I would pick up.
There's no chance in heck.
I'm going to call him up.
Come on Darren.
- Look who's ringing me.
Steven Bridges.
Steven?
- [Steven] Hey Darren.
- Hello?
- [Steven] Can you hear me okay?
- [Darren] I can hear you perfectly.
- Okay, so Darren, I've gone into a shop,
and I've picked up an object.
All I want you to do is tell me what it is.
- Just say what you think it is Darren.
Just concentrate on the object.
Now, obviously there are thousands of objects in this shop.
- The thing is, I believe that
Steven, we've been with you for
a couple of hours now during the day.
We were talking earlier about our secret and our method
and the fact that we guard it very close to our chest.
I believe that you've gone for an object that guards things.
You're thinking of a padlock, is that right?
- Darren, Darren, I need you to tell him the colour of it.
- Yeah, it's like a-
- It's a yellow padlock.
- It's like a white, yellow, fluorescent.
- Do you see these numbers here, the closest ones there.
- Yeah, yeah.
- Just think of those numbers.
You think of them, Darren will tell you what they are.
- Yeah, it's a combination lock.
- Just concentrate on the three numbers Darren.
- It is a three digit padlock?
- [Steven] Yeah, yeah.
- Okay, I believe this is a, three digit number,
it's got scroll turning number.
I believe the number you're thinking of
is seven, seven, eight.
- Yes! That's the number.
I hate you very much right now.
- Why?
- [Steven] You're just smugly on your phone
after doing something so cool.
You're like, "Ah, just another day. DNA mind reading."
Guys, you can go follow them on all their social medias.
DNAmindreaders on everything?
Link in the description.
Go check out the show.
If you're free on Halloween I think
it's gonna be something else.
It's next level.
I don't even know whether or not to high five you,
I feel like I should be slapping you in the face.
