Nan,

He had the numbers he predicted on the stand at the start of the show (note: facing away from the camera, as not to show the numbers because i think on line you can do the lotto until the draw) then at the end of the draw he span the stand around and revealed his predictions.

thanks for that mate, i'm just thinking he should be done for fraud when we all claim our winnings!  :D  if so i will pay for his lawyer with the money - it's on me folks i insist!  :D 

what aload of bu11sh1t,that bloke doesn't need to win the lottery anyway cause he makes shed loads of money from people going to his shows in the first place, i'm so septical of sh1t like this that it's not entertainment for me, i'd be so anti what he was doing i wouldn't enjoy any part of his performance whatso ever.

to pay my hard earnt money to watch it live would a detrament to my wallet!  :D   one of my mates has seen him live an said he was awsome- after a discussion i just said we would have to agree to dis-agree cause i wouldn't waste my valuable time in life on it.

I thought it was cleverly done. Remember David Copperfield, when he made the elephant disappear? The most cynical asked "why put up the sheet?"

Simply because it is part of the grand illusion. What Derren Brown did was a trick using technology, which many magicians would agree its a bit like cheating, but it is cleverly done. If you perform a trick, the idea is to leave people wondering how it was done. And he has done that leaving enough people engrossed and to figure it out.

if he expects us to believe that taking averages of numbers randomly guessed increases your chances, he is taking us for a mug.

He's just a con artist, conning his viewers.

but he knows he is that, and he tells us that... so, was it just a split screen?

I was looking forward to finding out how he did it.

That show was sh!te as he didn't fix the lottery and the average of random numbers is still random (basic maths).

Anyone try that subliminal video tonight? Didn't work for me, probably too many distractions around me tbh but looked interesting.
