Subliminal Messages in Everyday Life

Talented practician of “psychology, misdirection, ambiguity, deception and suggestion,” Derren Brown, uses the power of subliminal messaging on two unsuspecting ad agency designers.

Brown asks two designers from  Saatchi & Saatchi, a world-famous advertising agency, to meet with him to come up with a campaign for a taxidermy company. They are tasked with naming the taxidermy company, coming up with a tagline and a graphic. Brown doesn’t give the designers much time to think, insisting they just use the first ideas that come to mind.

What the designers don’t know is that – through the power of the subliminal – Brown has already told them what to design. See how he pulls it off.
