Derren Brown

[4getmenot]

have searched but couldnt find any other so apologies if this is repeated but any views on how Derren Brown tricked us all last night? Obviously there is no way he could actually predict but how was it done?

[bigmamma]

I hope one day someone will spot how he does these things , I hope , morning honey 4get xxx

[4getmenot]

Morning mamma xxx well he is going to reveal all on Friday, but its bugging me

[sprayer]

predicting the lottery numbers ''Good Innit'' one poster in chatter bank reckons he had LCDs in the ping pong balls
and someone else just put in the numbers as they were drawn, but never mind he is going to reveal all on Friday so we can all become lottery millionaires. I cant wait !!!

[bigmamma]

Oh , on Friday , can't wait , do you think he will tell us or still leave us wondering ?

[4getmenot]

No one will become lotto millionaires as he never 'predicted' it was all trickery he will just show how he tricked everyone. I'm tempted with the LCDs in the ping pong balls or a projection on them

[Panic Button]

Forgive me, but what did he do?

[sprayer]

Correctly predicted the lotto numbers

[Panic Button]

Did he say them before they were drawn, or write them in a sealed envelope to be opened later?

[sprayer]

And yes I do know that it was an illusion or trick or whatever I do not seriously think that we are all going to
be predicting the results after he reveals all on friday, -------- but then again!!

He kept saying that he had spent a year on the technique - maybe he spent a year filming himself with different sequences of numbers! lol!

[sprayer]

Look at it here.

yes alliegid I want to know what he spent a year doing. He couldnt spend a year filming himself as it had tv screen next to him playing the live lotto.

[Alliegid]

Didn't he do a similar thing about shaking a dice, or tossing a coin and got 7 heads in a row or 7 6s. Then it was explained with many hours of tossing a coin/dice to get the required outcome. I've actually seen him on stage and he is VERY good, even if you know it is smoke and mirrors it is still pretty impressive!

[4getmenot]

yes he's a brilliant illusionist.

[I.Don No]

and you really believe the lottery draw is shown live??!!

[TCL-MUMPING]

He said that following a meeting wi Camelot, he could not show the numbers prior to the Draw as the BBC had the legal right to announce them first. Why could he not just have picked those numbers and bought a ticket? He would then have been in the same position as any other person buying a ticket since they too would have believed they had predicted the correct numbers and he could have shown that ticket..

[4getmenot]

yep :-)

[4getmenot]

because as said mumping he cant actually predict the numbers its trickery so he wouldnt win. Also camelot banned him

[TCL-MUMPING]

Are you saying Camelot banned him from buying a ticket?

[4getmenot]

yes
