Derren Brown - Lottery Numbers

[KempsonFox]

Well how'd he get that right then, I'm convnced there's something fishy about this one.

I reckon it was a split screen, the side with the balls on a still photo, until after the draw was made and someone had time to put the balls on there correctly.

You're right - at the end of the day, it's absolutely impossible to predict the numbers for the lottery, it's the whole nature of the game. Although, I love how he said 'tune in on Friday to see how I did it' at the end of the show, it's clearly a trick, but he's guaranteed himself a few extra million
viewers on Friday.

I'm convinced the bloke is just an absolute genius, he's apparently always said that there's no trickery and he just knows how people's brains work. It is a bit scary sometimes though!

Is this similar to when he 'predicted' the winners of seven horse races in a row?

It was advertised as the first of a series of "Misdirection Events", I believe. Which would make you think that it was basically a load of bollocks.

Just watched it, and it has to be a split screen.

Watch this video on Youtube - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QG-5qebwflA

If you look between 5:38 and 5:41, you will notice that the ball at the end (39) is a fraction higher than the rest.


EDIT: I see NF has posted the video.

Agreed. Pretty much simple considering he never moves from the television side.

I agree with this, he's just a clever bloke who plays on people's brains.

I don't think it's a split screen. He doesn't usually need technology to make people look stupid.

That's my argument, plus the camera is shaking as he is on camera. Plus he said to watch on Friday and maybe you could do it for yourself, so I think there is a methid behind it, based on chance.

The 'chance' being about 1 in 14million?

I love how he ammends his comment at the end to make it like his is correct

 

[Darth Vodka]

meh...he didnt predict anything, all he has to do is get some radio controlled balls or something

(yeah yeah, balls...edit away)
