Derren Brown - outdone himself this time?

[mrk]

if he actually predicted it we would have seen his predictions before they were drawn.

That's not how Derren works with his pieces, if you've watched any of his previous shows you'll know he never reveals anything early, always bang on time at the last moment.

 

[Tummy]

He's a very clever man.

This, I often enjoy watching some of the things he does.

The man must have done an amazing amount of work to be this good.

 

[mmj_uk]

So you think they rigged the lottery for it? Get real.

Errm no?

He revealed his balls quite a while after the actual draw.

 

[leaskovski]

Did anyone actually check the numbers against the national lottery website?

 

[Rybo89]

he's a illusionist, a extremely very clever man who knows hows to bring audience in

 

[mr.sly]

excellent point

He said right at the start the BBC by law have to show the winning numbers first.

 

[Booner!]

Where can I quickly watch this? I missed it?

 

[fornowagain]

I've watched the balls a few times back and forwards, the cameras moving all over the place at fast forward. And I watched BBC in a separate PC window, less than a second delay.

 

[Marky]

He was the friend DB told the numbers too before hand. The guy had just won millions of pounds - he's bound to shake a bit.

Haha I was half expecting the camera to fall over on the floor and a cameraman running over to hug Derren before running out the warehouse screaming

 

[Lee2k4]

And how many of you was flicking through channels to make sure they was in sync

 

[m0rte]

If he showed his prediction before the result it would have been genuinely amazing...but there was clearly some clever ball or camera trickery going on. Still looked impressive and looking forward to fridays show

 

[JayMax]

I'd be surprised (and disappointed) if he has used camera tricks etc to achieve this. What makes him impressive and different is his use of psychology as well as magicians illusions, misdirection and sleight of hand.

Possibly on 4OD later or keep checking if someone uploads it to YouTube.

Edit: Or Channel 4 +1

I was!

It's not like the BBC have the 6 numbers copyrighted.

I had my laptop streaming - his tv was ahead of my live stream, so it rules out in my mind any significant delay.

Yeah - hundreds of people will now upload it to youtube to see if they can find anything dodgy with the footage

I had my laptop streaming - his tv was ahead of my live stream, so it rules out in my mind any significant delay.

That is completely normal though - if you have ever seen a analogue and digital tv together you will know what I mean - the analogue signal is ahead of the digital signal etc. etc.
Dependant on where you saw it - it won't be 100% live - but the difference is seconds.

No he didn't

 

[Neoni]

has the lottery website not been updated?

That's not how Derren works with his pieces, if you've watched any of his previous shows you'll know he never reveals anything early, always bang on time at the last moment.

I've been to one of his shows and I wasn't convinced then. The reason why he doesn't show them beforehnad is not his style because it's a con, he plays off people thinking he did it or didn't do it, just like we're doing now. It's the unknown he plays off.

Before anyone else says it it's got nothing to do with the bbc they just film it but in all honesty it's not rigged with them, just think off the ofcom fine, it'll be more than the lottery jackpot
