It's Derren Brown. If anybody can do something like this, it's him.

Suggestion plays a huge part, I think.

Ultimate battle of ultimate destiny will be like when Muhammad Ali fought a giant mechanical joe frazier, my memory isn't what it used to be but I think the whole earth was destroyed.

Im not sure illusionist is the right word. He is more a hypnotist, what he does is real, it is just not always done the obvious way. It isn't trickery, he is just ridiculously adept at what he does.:thumbsup:

Whatever you call it, he cannot predict random events, hence my skepticism.

Misdirection?

HEY LOOK BEHIND YOU!
yeah I already told showed you who won the lottery but you missed it oh well don't worry it was right no need to go questioning it now is there.

Good.

I was let down by him once before with his explanation of getting someone to win many horse races in a row. Just getting a load of people to do it, and some win it, those who don't go home, rinse repeat till he's left with 1

Just noticed the actual draw is at 10:35, I could have sworn it used to be earlier than that... I'd love for him to not get any numbers right:lol:

Derren: "The first number will be 5"
Lotto drawer: "Its number 28"
Derren: "Oh, I knew that.. Thats what i meant to say"

Don't. You are annoying.

He tells how he did it on friday.

ThePianoMan
09-09-2009, 04:53 PM
He ruined it slightly, he said he'll show us how we can do it too. He can't let everyone win the lottery every week, therefore there is not a skill, but also not luck or chance. An illusion or misdirection.

I'm curious, will watch on Friday.

Card couting is total different ball game.

You can't predict the first card in 4 decks.

Cheese
09-10-2009, 11:25 AM
@ TehFlyingTea, I doubt it's that simple or some genius mathemetician would have cracked it ages ago and be a millionaire. Or maybe they have and just kept it to themselves.

Still, I'm sure there'll be a catch in the method on Friday or everyone would do it.

FallenHeero
09-10-2009, 03:17 PM
Not necessarily, he said it took him a year and I think if it was that easy, someone would've found out the secret already. Also they wouldn't be doing it on TV if its easy to do otherwise loads of people will suddenly win the lottery. I think its some kind of complex algorithm that not many people can do unless there quite smart.

Millakilla
09-10-2009, 04:45 PM
There is a chart on the lotto website showing how often certain balls have been drawn, So he can't have based his prediction solely on that because everyone has access to it... I have no idea how he did it but there must be some kind of catch like all his other shows..

PrimevilKneivel
09-10-2009, 11:18 PM
First rule of illusion is if they make you think something is the key, then that's not it.

Darren brown is an illusionist, one of the best. But he's not a psychic and it's not some kind of crazy math. It's a magic trick plain and simple.

He's nothing like Criss Angel or David Blane, they're illusionist. Derren Brown uses psychologyand suggestion to predict and control people. It's odd but its good to watch,

Whodini1
09-12-2009, 04:27 AM
Still think the funniest thing he did was the Resident Evil/house of the dead game...

For those who haven't seen it, he tampers with an arcade game, so that when someone susceptible to it plays it, they go into a trance.

He took the guy to an abandoned hospital, full of actors dressed as zombies, put a gun in his hand and then brought the guy out of the trance.

The Youtube link won't work for UK (but you should be able to get it from www.4od.com). Hopefully non-uk residents should be able to get it from Youtube.

I'm sure everything isn't as it seems though, The adverts for his "The Events" shows were shown in reverse and he said something about them being events of misdirection... Misdirection - Backwards, I think we will find out how he did all this at the end of the series, Everything is not as it seems..

I think that's true, in the adverts there was like a massive billboard thing in the background it said manchesterunited.com backwards (like everything else in the ad) also there was another ad in the advert for stucktomysofa.com which i believe is a reference to next weeks show and finally he was was juggling lottery balls i think...

the adverts for that show were really clever and they really got people talking. You might be right but i think it might be something different to facing man u though.
