Derren Brown to predict national lottery numbers

[Neil]

Can't believe people still believe it's camera tricks, he proved in 3 different experiments how it was possible, the first two were human based obviously but the third was clearly mathematical prediction, most people probably dismiss the reality of it because they can't do it themselves, camera tricks are too obvious for Derren, he would not get this sort of coverage if it was just a camera trick. :rolleyes:

Now someone should create a TV Show following his so-called "Algorithm" and show how they end up with no numbers at all. Of course the only real way to prove it wrong is to do it yourself.

I agree though it's all illusions.

Could do that... or kidnap him and make him confess to what really happened. That is a joke, if he does get kidnapped it was not by me.

Rather typical suggestion from someone called "Hitman"

I'm lookin' forward to next weeks episode

Me too, will be interesting.

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:

I hope he actually hypnotises us, it'll be very interesting to see what he does with us.

[N!ck]

He was lying. There is no way to predict the lottery. Crowds or otherwise.

The most likely reason is the spit screen.

Oh look, what was that I hear you say? Yes, that's correct, I was right. A mathematical formula based on possibility.

Probability doesn't change week in week out for the lottery and therefore there cannot be anything to gain by studying old results and such, he's just dragging things out by saying that. If he could truly predict the outcome I have no doubt that he'd have simply waited for something massive like a triple Euromillions rollover and then bought the "winning" ticket and get far richer than he ever will in showbusiness.
