Is the lotto draw actually live?

Maybe he'll watch it on terrestrial TV and hope everyone else watches it on digital, as we all know there's a second or so lag on digital from terrestrial, and do it that way.

He's meant to predict the balls "minutes" before the draw on BBC. It's gonna be good TV tonight.
 
well BBC Live broadcasts arent actually live, theres always a small delay in case of bad things happening. So i reckon he just has a plant somewhere in the production team who will transfer the numbers over.


If he could really read the future why not tell us now instead of "minutes" before the event. Or even just after the ticket machines close to stop the entire country winning.

Yeah but as I said earlier, he's got an hour show on Friday explaining how he done it and how you can do it to. He's not going to say "I just had a guy telling me as the draw wasn't even live"
 
Just so we're crystal clear here, Derren isn't for one second trying to convince people that he can see the future. He is always honest about his dishonesty and as he's showing us the method on Friday (or performing something that requires us to believe that he can predict these numbers), it's fairly obvious that he's not going to say "The method is actually incredibly simple, I simply peer forward in time and retrieve the result".

I still can't wait. :D
 
Couple of quotes from his wikipedia page:

The BBC also insists that its midweek draw is shown without a time delay. The only sleight of hand involved is the use of recorded applause.

A spokesman said: 'Derren Brown is an illusionist creating an illusion that he can predict the numbers.'

'It is possible that the Channel 4 show features a "live" link to the lottery result that is slightly delayed - allowing Brown a few seconds to correctly "predict" the results after they have happened. But that would be easy to check.

I really doubt this will be happening. It wouldn't take a year for someone as talented as Derren Brown to come up with that. Any chimp could do it.

Are you just angry because you thought this time next week you'd be a millionaire and now you've maxed out all of your credit cards? Haha.

Haha that website is brilliant.

Derren Brown will take on Manchester United in a Football game.
At kick-off all of the Man U players will not be able to move
and Derren Brown will have a free run at scoring against Man U.

How is that an illusion and not just a man running on a football pitch with stationary players?
