Derren Brown to predict national lottery numbers

[Kardan]

I don't see how he can do it though... His past stuff seems reasonable, he can easily manipulate people into thinking what he wants them to think, but how is he going to even try and start guessing the lotto numbers considering it's randomised by a machine? I'll be impressed if he manages it.

If he could really do it, he'd be a rich man by now. I think he will make people think that he has predicted them, whilst he really hasn't.

And how is he going to do that? Get the BBC to play a pre-recorded fake draw?

Just saw this. I wanna watch it now.

he can do it with people though so it will only work if the national lottery is fixed by someone.

There's no way this can go well, if he doesn't predict them correctly he'll make a fool of himself and if he does predict them there will be public outcry and an investigation into cheating and if he teaches others to do it (Although it's probably a very hard skill to pick up) he will take down the national lottery. And should he ever win the lottery he'd be accused of cheating.

If I was Derren and I could predict the lottery, I wouldn't go on TV and predict them, I'd just buy a lottery ticket with the predicted numbers and just win all the money for myself.

He's not after money, he's after fame, credability and too be taken seriously. If he pulls this off it will go down in history and so will he .

I've been watching a lot of his programs on 4od - I wouldn't be surprised if he pulls it off.

Erm, well tbh, everyone knows TV Lags by a bit yeh? Well, tbh, it wouldnt be that hard surely, get someone to ring him thats at the lottery and it comes through instantly, goes down the earpiece into his ear he says it, it comes out and tadah.

Anyway, id like to see how he does it as in presents it, will he have a TV whilst hes doing it? anyway, it wouldnt be classed as teaching really, to buy a ticket, it needs to be bought by about 7.30 on the day anyway
