Derren Brown - outdone himself this time?

So surely us lot could pick 6 numbers for the lottery, then we all will it to be them, and then we all buy tickets, will it to be those numbers and we win?!!?!?

If every member did that for a £6m jackpot we would all get about £117

Any prediction can be called a guess until one proves correct.

Depends really on your definition of a prediction. If by prediction, you mean a prophecy and that he knew the numbers beforehand and therefore was obviously right, then it's impossible. Otherwise it was just a guess and he was really lucky.

It is repeated after the David Blaine program after this show.

All trickery. How can anyone say the people he chose to do the experiments weren't in on it all? As i said before, he is a showman, a 'conman' in the nicest sense of the word!

Tonights show is quite interesting.

Not my idea of what a prediction is but it would hardly have had the same effect if he came on and said "I'm going to guess the numbers". So do a lot of people.

Does anyone think he's just filling time with nonsense here? There is a 0% chance of him correctly predicting the lottery results. The only certainty is that unless there's been some trickery, pre-recording etc, then the 6 numbers were not on those white balls before the draw was made.

yes, but so far, does not show how he did it

EDIT: There really is no pleasing some of you. Still claiming camera trickery.

Been very disappointing so far

Very impressed with the mouse/knife tricks though

The fact he's filling the show with nonsense makes me think he's not going to bother revealing the trick and just claim he really did predict them.

I hope I'm wrong though.

The cynic in me always disproves any of the audience participation sections with "they could be planted / this could be fixed."

So, what is dissapointing then? You've been impressed with what has been shown so far.

exactly. the stuff hes showing could have been filmed yesterday afternoon for all we know

the real 'trick' is that hes making millions of people believe he predicted it for real :/

 

[meghatronic]

Zzzzzzzzzzz

 

[Vonhelmet]

I know exactly how he did it... With smoke and mirrors.

This is *******.
