Of course he didn't predict the lottery numbers, we all know that!Originally Posted by DarkEnemy
What we're trying to figure out is how he got the numbers on the balls without us seeing.

That's spot on. Originally Posted by Smits

But, I wouldn't be surprised if it was split screen.

I give up reading page after page of, 'omgzz why didn't he buy a lottery ticket???' HE DIDN'T PREDICT THE NATIONAL LOTTERY DRAW. IT WAS AN ILLUSION. YOU WILL FIND OUT HOW (he wants you to think) THE ILLUSION HAPPENED TONIGHT
.
Everything he does is part of the act. When he muddles up words, when he "forgets" someone's name, when he "forgets" which envelope they picked, when he double-checks what's in each envelope, how he seems to sort of ramble a bit when he's talking a lot and how he speaks quite quickly - it's all little things that are part of the overall spectacle.

Yeah I believe that is true out of all the suggestions. Originally Posted by Smits

Regarding the part in bold, I think that's wrong. Richard Hammond was hyponitised by Paul McKenna on Top Gear once... Originally Posted by Robald

edit: ah the actual hypnosis being performed can't be shown, but when they're "under" it can, if that's what you meant then sorry, you're right.Last edited by Hitman; 11-09-2009 at 02:50 PM.

I don't see the point of an illusionist who we all know is capable of extraordinary things, lowering himself to such a basic, boring and pointless "trick" that quite frankly anyone could do. Camera tricks can't be considered illusions in my opinion; you don't need years of experience and practicing as you obviously do with most of Derren Brown's work, just to tell a camera man to freeze a screen and overlap it onto a live screen :rolleyes:.
The only reason there is so much hype around this is Derren Brown. We have seen what he can do so we expect greater things. If it was someone unknown, we'd probably assume they were going to use a simple camera trick but because it's Derren Brown, you almost completely exclude that possibility. The only thing that allows me to believe there is a chance that this is the case, is the horse race thing he did. That was also another pointless exercise as far as he's concerned. All that did was basically tell us the probability of winning when you have betted on all outcomes = 100%. Cheers mate, didn't know you were a maths teacher :eusa_clap.Last edited by Black_Apalachi; 11-09-2009 at 05:08 PM.

I will also lose some respect towards him if it does turn out to be camera trickery... almost anybody can do that with the right tools... Originally Posted by Robald

He did say it took him a year, so it must be something more than just split screen or whatever... I hope it's good, just 2 hours and 45 mins til we find out!

I'm going to have a guess that it's both a mix of camera trickery and some sort of big trick he had up his sleeve. Maybe even literally.
