Derren Brown - outdone himself this time?

Paul11 · 11 Sep 2009 at 21:48

trying to say he takes the average, of a number of peoples guesses is just (as duncan banatyne would say) ludecrous (even if i cant spell it)

dunker · 11 Sep 2009 at 21:48

yeah the old mirror glass camera trick, all this stuff is just fill.

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

Yeh, the whole show seems a build-up and just trying to give evidence that it's possible to predict a random outcome.
At the end he will just say, "and I used a combination of these phenomena to predict the numbers" :rolleyes:

Really hoping he explains it, but it's not looking good.

What's the name of that game where you drop a ball down a pin-wall? He said people "willing" the ball can affect it's outcome, yeh riiiight.

So you actually believe his proposed theory so far?

Very suspicious that those totals they came up with were all exactly divisible by 23...

Azza · 11 Sep 2009 at 21:50

So basically I get 23 of my mates around tomorrow, get them to write down random numbers, get the average and ill win the lottery tomorrow.

And 23 people choosing numbers.

23 is must be an amazing number.

Paul11 · 11 Sep 2009 at 21:50

and if you were goign to take an everage of a random amount of peoples guesses

it would need to be more than 24 people

I'm intrigued and finding it interesting.

Royality · 11 Sep 2009 at 21:51

Probably just rounded?

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.

So what do you think a prediction is then? Because it can only be one of those two things.

27 is the minimum isn't it?

Marky · 11 Sep 2009 at 21:52

lol at all you people still thinking camera trickery is the way he does it

yes, exactly 27 .. how did you know

edit:

would have thought to make this realistic, would have been the average of over 100 people
