derren brown is not realy subliminally manipulating people, it is all a magic show simmilair to david blain or copperfield, it is still fun to watch though. He has admitted that it is actually not real
In Brown's latest book Tricks of the Mind, he writes 'I am often dishonest in my techniques, but always honest about my dishonesty. As I say in each show, "I mix magic, suggestion, psychology, misdirection and showmanship". I happily admit cheating, as it's all part of the game. I hope some of the fun for the viewer comes from not knowing what's real and what isn't. I am an entertainer first and foremost, and I am careful not to cross any moral line that would take me into manipulating people's real-life decisions or belief systems

in short what he does is use psychology to trick the viewer into thinking he is messing with people s brains, the subliminal words in sentences to influence behavior and using misdirection and pattern breaks to hypnotize people is pure bullshit. It's fun to watch but people have to know this is all fake.
