Derren Brown to predict national lottery numbers

Or it could be because the camera isn't fixed, and is constantly moving? :rolleyes:

Before / After Results

Well no, because no matter where the camera moves, even if its the exact same position as before the results, its a bit higher.

And the shaking is artifical, it wouldnt shake that much they are just trying to make it seem real.

I don't believe it for one second. So many rumours and such going around.
Plus, I actually couldn't care if he can 'predict' lottery numbers. Read my mind and I'll be impressed.
I agree with the split screen theory though.

I believe it, but why didnt he just buy a ticket, and win. if he doesnt want the money, give it to charity, problem solved.

He wasn't allowed to buy a lottery ticket.

I'm not entirely sure what to make of it, but seeing what others make of it, with the theories and reasons for split screens and whatnot is laughable...

I've seen people say "well why couldn't he show the numbers before the BBC? They can't sue him for a prediction." Sure, but Derren knew that the numbers he had, or rather the numbers he was going to show were correct, so he would be showing the winning numbers before the BBC, which was supposedly illegal or not allowed. Imagine if he had of shown them before, and they were correct? The lottery would be ruined, because it would have been almost solid proof that he could predict the numbers - thus making it look like an inside job of some sort.

Of course, he couldn't predict them. The numbers are totally random. Yes, some show up more than others, but it's just random.

Another thing I saw was "when he touches the ball, one of them moves up!!" Well, yes, it will move up. Physics. If the balls are placed next to each other rather tightly, then moving one down will put pressure on the others, making the middle one buckle, so long as the last one is in tight. Kind of like a spot, you squeeze the skin on outsides and it builds up pressue, causing the spot to pop.

I think he'll have more people watching the show revealing how he did it than the show that showed him doing it.
