Derren Brown to predict national lottery numbers

[kk.]

He said at the end, it's a trick. The 24 people didn't predict the numbers, if they did, why didn't he tell the group of people what the numbers were after they picked them? What harm would that have done

There is no maths involved, it was all misdirection. Looking forward to next week

Anyone that starts rabbiting on about how he and the group predicted them by will power, maths and wishful thinking is just gullible, the whole of the EVENTS is about misdirection, not if he did predict the lottery numbers We all know it's a camera trick, but in the end he's seeing if he can get people to believe a unrealistic method.

It's cus Camelot have the right to announce the numbers first etc etc. Not that believe the 24 people predicted it anyway. I mean, how he got the 24 people to get the numbers they did on previous weeks I don't know, maybe, because he knew what numbers they were gonna pick, as that's how the show starte off, him knowing what people would pick.

looking forward to next week but theresone problem

Subliminal messaging is banned on all UK television stations. unless he got that passed because of many reasons but mainly it's directly linked to epileptic fits.

I bet there's some loophole around it if there is a disclaimer at the start or something

*watches QI then Jonathan Ross and falls asleep so gets to this thread late*

Oh btw, did anyone see at the start when he was entering the studio, he walked along past the cheering crowd but when any of them reached out to touch him or high-five him or whatever, he held his hands up and shouted 'NO!' really angrilly?? :S Has he got OCD? Was really weird.

He even said it was a trick at the end. Plus it explains why he was holding a 'snowflake' as in frozen, and why at the end only half of the productions logo was on. He even explains in this that he worked on four events of misdirection. I can't believe how people still don't believe it's a trick. :rolleyes:

It's all those little, kind of subtle, hints he keeps dropping in that make it OK for some reason. I said I'd be really pissed off if it is just the camera trick but the snowflake, the logo and the way he's like 'there will be people who won't believe me' ... 'it was a trick' etc all just help me laugh along.

I was almost turning the channel over at one stage though where I thought he was pursuing the will-power theory and when one of the guys on the team actually said, 'omg we all believed we could do it so we did', douche :rolleyes:. I'd like to know how true the original story is about the ox. I thought it was a bit annoying how there was only about five minutes between each break.

The method of using the people's unconscious thoughts is kind of flawed anyway. He allocated just a single person to look a everyone's results and make out the numbers by himself. If you've got a load of scribbles on a page, you could make out a completely different set of numbers to someone else. :S And when there's a few numbers near each other, like a 5, 7 and a 2 for example, it could be 5 and 72, or 57 and 2, or 5, 7 and 2 or just 572! Then there was one person doing each page of calculations with nobody double-checking. Fail soz.

Hopefully the worst episode is out of the way first anyway. Looking forward to next week!

lol,i can't wait for the subliminal messaging. but before people say it didn't work and i got out of my seat you have to be really concentrating for subliminal messaging to work.

[kk.]

It's possible he has some sort of OCD, I mean, he nod a lot, and it's really of putting lol

[FlyingJesus]

you have to be really concentrating for subliminal messaging to work.

No you don't that's the whole point of it

[AlexOC]

Wait

Why don't all we try and predict it.

Be more accurate if theres like 400 people.

[Lost_Addict]

No you don't that's the whole point of it

no i don't mean focussing on the subliminal messages i mean watching the show without much distraction, say on your phone. 'cause then you may not see the message and it would be a fail.

I think that might be because of the content of his shows, he cant really have people touching him or people would suspect that they're in on it, handing him something etc. perhaps? I don't know I only just started watching the episode on channel 4 catch up and noticed that too.

[Feep]
