Did he get them in order?
No, not in exact order.. he has his picks on a table in numerical order and he got them right.. all the numbers..Quote:

I have no clue how he did it, It was all live and we could see the choice he picked at all time through out the program (they were on a stand beside him facing the other way and he turned them around at the end of the show).. Amazing stuff
This is it. but remember last night it was 100% live

It is a shame but understandable, I suppose, or else there would be some very well off people walking around now lol
I don't think he needs to buy a ticket, he is well off anyway.. So that is now Vegas, betting offices and the lottery he is banned from :rotfl:Quote:

no idea.. it probably all an illusion, split screens, mirrors etc but it was amazing to watch and the man is good.. some things are so advanced that you are left scratching your head wondering how he did it..Quote:

possible but I doubt he would do that.. he said is all misdirection, he is doesn't use camera tricks etc... well I am sure we will all find out on Friday
Not sure what to think
part nerves, part poker face in my opinion. don't like the idea that its a camera trick that people keep saying, that isn't what his act is about.Quote:

Theories of how Derren Brown did it ...
http://derrenbrownlotteryprediction.wordpress.com/
In case he got it wrong? He did say beforehand he apologised if he didn't get all of them right or none right.Quote:

Viewers have claimed that Derren Brown used a split screen to perform his Event Live lottery prediction.
On Wednesday night, the illusionist correctly predicted all six lottery numbers and will reveal tonight on Channel 4 how he pulled off the stunt.
The most popular theory online is that Brown used split screens to deceive viewers. Fans have claimed that he may have used a pre-recorded shot of the lottery balls after he moved to the left-hand side to watch the live draw on a TV screen. It has even been claimed that at one specific point, the lottery balls can be seen moving upwards.
However, the method has been disregarded by some, who claim that it would have been impossible to perform such a stunt without a static main camera. The footage of Brown was shaky at certain moments during the live show.
Other theories suggested for the trick have included Brown using "e ink" on the balls, the filming of multiple versions of the show and false walls, while one viewer even proposed that he may have used "psychic fairies".
Derren Brown: How To Win The Lottery will air on C4 tonight at 9pm.
http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/tv/a1768...it-screen.html
Psychic fairies? Somebody has been reading too many comments on DS's forums :p
One comment I read on youtube was that as they think Derren can manipulate the mind, who is to say he can't do the same to a machine...Quote:

(not sure if I am making sense here).. the clip parkerman showed of the guy in his living room shown how it can be done, but they never showed how to remove the split screen.. and can split screen be done with a motion camera?
I know one thing... everyone will tune in tonight to see how it is done.. C4 makes money, Derren makes money!!
That's what it's all about, Siobhan.Quote:

What did everyone think?
One thing my mum brought up was why didnt he do it in front of an audience?
What a lot of nonsense: http://uk.tv.yahoo.com/12092009/19/i...ery-trick.html
So we still don't know how he did it.
didn't watch it after his russian roulette one years ago i went off him
i dont any repsect or patience for this time waster, its all faff that he does, and he can never give you a straight answer, its all just stupid nonsense and i dont get why everyone worships the ground he walks on. he's an idiot.
It was a spilt screen camera trick.
Ht was bull ****ting about how he did it on Fridays show
i was so confused by the end
did fall for one second that the group of 24 people predicted it
it's just not possible with the way he explained.
I agree with the split screen thing and the motion camera was just to put us off
Why do they allow him to do these 'tricks' when they are not tricks done by him but good camera trickery instead?
Isn't all magic trickery, whether it's done by a person or a camera? If anyone has seen the film The Pretense they'll understand.
I think there was something behind it.. using the masses to predict the numbers.. he did say on the Wednesday show he hope to predict at least 5 out of the 6 and considering the 3 draws before that was 1 right, 3 right, then 4 right so going for 5 was an achievement..
I am a lover of mathematics so I would like to think it was involved a lot in this...
It's absolutely impossible to predict the numbers in a random draw, unless you have 14,000,000 people all predicting something different.
Is anyone going to be watching the next event.. apparently you are suppose to be glued to your seat.. literally!!
Anyone going to watch this tonight to see if it work?
Yes I am going to give it a go, will let you know if I stuck.
I am! :D It better work lol, but then I might be scared! :lol:
Same here... I don't want to be stuck to my seat but I don't want not to,if you know what I meanQuote:
