Derren Brown to predict lottery results | TV Blog - Yahoo! TV UK


he seems to think hes god for some reason.

how can he predict the lottery numbers and why not before the draw this makes me think he has someone in the audience that will text him the results as the show is pre recorded am sure thats the only way he will do it if am wrong i will eat ma words
other way he can do it is pre record all the diffrent sequence of the numbers that will take ages but u never know on tv .

[dctyper]

he is good at what he does. and what he does it trick people. thats all it is, trickery

[ticticboom]

yeah its nice 2 trick people wish i knew him so he can buy me a ticket. and if he cud predict the numbers he wud be winning all the time more money than channel 4 are paying him.

he is going to reveal how he does it so we can all have a go on Friday

[Mr Pumpy]

Aye , he's a good entertainer alright. One of Mrs P's brothers went to see him live and said he was brilliant.

[TheGodfather]

Was there any doubt he'd get them all correct? no

He obviously can't do this otherwise he would be 'more' than he is atm (as in just an entertainer)

if you saw the one about a person putting on a bet successfully for each race you will see its all chance and he started with a load of people and it was just down to chance as to who picked the right horses and won the races. if they didnt they would go to the next filming stage and if they did they would go thru. so by the end of it all this woman was the only one of the lot that had predicted correctly also i think several bets were put on or something cant remember. but its all down to chance. and he only shows the required results.

lets see what happens on the reveal program.

He said he has been playing and planning this one trick for a year untill it was revealed tonight !

I have seen hime taking in and digesting a full book in a few second and been able to answer questions regarding its content , And If you watched his show this evening he could pin point any street in london referancing the A to Z.

It does not at all surprise me that he could pick tonights lotto numbers, if you could study the random combinations since the lottery was released regarding how many of the same balls turn up every week and to develope a structure or system of Probility with 7 numbers and have a brain as adaptable as is the case with Darin Brown then it does not surprise me ....

What I am interested to know is this trick an illiousion did we missed something while we watched him writing or when the balls were been drawn ...

Or did He use his brain for this one, I can't wait to find out on friday night !

i'm sorry but ... bollocks.

i think he's brilliant, the tricks that he does but he's an illusionist and mentalist. predicting the lottery results? impossible. it's just a very very clever trick - and i think it's great. the memory stuff he does IS however all true, the AtoZ was real as well as some of the other memory stuff he does.


did u see how he had to squeeze behind the stand. also the balls were at different levels. the 'hand held' camera went very still for a while. smoke and mirrors!

[accies]

He said he picked the nos earlyer in the day,so why didnt he put them on?.Nobody won last nights jackpot so he either dosnt need the money,or it was just a trick!

[on_the_jazz]

predicting the lottery results? impossible.

I'm sure there are some lottery winners out there who would disagree!
I don't think there is any chance involved in his trick though. Maybe the prediction will just be him mirroring the lotto draw in real time but having no delay in his transmission so it appears to come before the actual lotto numbers roll.

[ManofScience]

he's probably come up with some long winded excuse about memory, learning the numbers, etc - but when infact, from some of the footage doing the rounds it looks like trick photography/split screen action.

but he'll never reveal his TRUE method - where would be the fun in that???

[chroma]

he got the answers emailed to him by this guy:

[TheGodfather]

haha @ lastpost.

But yeah, split screen it could be, i noticed first time round when it was on at the pub the screen/camera was quite shakey.

Watched the repeat when i got back to confirm and it was, could be nothing at all - but with tricks like this you need to look at every possibility.
