Derren Brown to Predict Lottery

[Kolraz]

So it's just over an hour to go until Derren Browns supposedly predicts the UK National Lottery Numbers. The show is going to be played live at 10:35pm on Channel 4, at the same time as the Live Lottery Results. It's the first in series called "The Events".

I've read a number of peoples views about it today, just wondering what anyone on here thinks about it?

I'm really hoping it's not going to be a generic "let's check my prediction in a sealed envelope" style trick, I've come to expect much more of Derren Brown

I'd like to here other peoples thoughts/views on it.

I'm gonna guess that he'll get... one number wrong.

 

[Escher]

If he does it successfully, I'll punch myself in the head until I die.
If he fails, I'll still think no less of the genius that he is.

 

[Robert-Y]

Hey can I have all of your cubes if Derren guesses all the numbers correctly?

 

[Escher]

Hey can I have all of your cubes if Derren guesses all the numbers correctly?

Yes, but I've no idea why you'd want them, they're all poo.

 

[Robert-Y]

Then I wonder what happens when you go to the toilet

RIP Escher





Just wanted to be the first.
In case he gets it right.


P.S. I'm in the U.S. so keep me posted.

Just to throw something out there, which is what I'm thinking might be the case tonight.

Derren brown supposedly places a card or "something" down on the table before each number is drawn as it happens live. He places any card, or a "blank" card down for the first number. For his supposed second number prediction he could then place down a card with the first number. Next he would place down a card which was in fact the second number, and so on...
He could then gather all of them and either admit to only getting 5, or use sleight of hand to swap out the blank card for the 6th number.

Oh my...I hadn't heard about this. I don't see how he can pull it off, but he's a really sneaky guy...this should be oodles of fun!

 

[Kolraz]

I also just heard he's been working on these "tricks" for the past 4 years. Now I'm really expecting something great...

I'm not sure if you have seen the adverts that have been in cinemas or on tv where he's walking around.. if not:

If you look, on the lamp post at the beginning on the left hand side has numbers on it. Numbers that are also incidentally lottery numbers. I am certain it will have something to do with this - whether for the lottery this evening or not, it will have something to do with it. Everyone has been going crazy in the comments about these numbers, so even if they were the numbers, nobody would win that much as the winnings would be SO split. I don't think it's any coincidence that it's kind of hard to read these numbers either. I therefore, being the gullible sod that I am, insisted that we buy an additional lottery ticket with those numbers for this evening. If i win a substantial amount I will do something nice for the cubers

Heh. Does this show he's doing pay more than winning the lottery?

 

[CharlieCooper]

Heh. Does this show he's doing pay more than winning the lottery?

Well, one thing's for sure, everyone is going to be watching his channel tonight rather than the lottery on BBC!

I don't suppose there's a broadcast I can find on the Internet? We don't get much live British television over here across the pond.

Derren Brown +1 always!

This site is pretty good (thanks Adam), but you need to get an English IP or something... don't ask me how to do that

The lottery is shown on BBC2 at 10.35-45pm GMT and Derren is at the same time on Channel 4.
