    A guy walks in and replaces the lottery balls while the numbers are being announced. Meanwhile the left half of the screen is replaced with a static image so you never see the guy replacing the balls. When he’s gone the static image overlaying the left half of the screen is removed and nothing seems to have changed (except one of the balls has moved slightly, oops). It can be done with a handheld camera, or (easier) the camera can be on a tripod and fake shaking added.

    It’s a cheap trick.

    Well smokill3r the reason the balls weren’t facing us was explained :) brown said tht the BBC have the legal rite to be the first to display the lotto numbers. If brown had show us his numbers at the begging, and got them right, he would have done something illegal :$

    i figured it out… The balls all got a number display at their front and digitally placed when the numbers are called. could be remote or wired from the podium their in. Why wasn’t the balls facing us in the 1st place? lol they got digital screens on their fronts so the numbers are punched in by someone off camera.. as he said it was a trick.. there now we know..lol

    Im sorry to prove you all wrong but Derren Brown only has one team and that was at the begging of his career all his tricks now are completely real unless he shows you overwise i know this cause iv had him to this trick to me.

    They were all part of DB’s team. Rachel was just a little too entusiastic..cute…but not cute enough.

    As dedringer2 aslo points out so errrmmm ….eloquently …. taking an average is pointless. and anyway why 24/23 why not 100, or 60 or 1000. It is all misdirection.

    And who says there were only 3 ways of doing it? Why not a 4th of faking it?

    Woo! Derren is obviously a bearded witch and in league with Satan and all his little pixies. Burn him! Burn him! (Derren, not Satan).

    Something obviously happens to the lottery balls displayed on the screen between when all the balls are announced and when he shows them to the viewer, I’m not sure how he did it though

    He should have :p

    Hmm, odd indeed. …
    Hmm, odd indeed. This is supposed to be a prediction of the lottery numbers and yet the numbers are only shown after the lottery numbers have been announced. Maybe I have this wrong but doesn’t the word ‘predict’ imply that you say something is going to happen before it does? What DB does here cannot be said to be prediction at all. He merely reveals a set of balls after the event. Now, if he had announced it beforehand in some form, that would be a prediction. But, of course, he cannot.

    What, you mean that you though it was plausible up untill that point!!!!???

    People can’t predict lottery numbers from other random numbers if you think that you are an idiot.

    Also I’d like to point out that doing a mean of the lottery numbers is meaningless as non of the ball are related to each other number wise because what if the lottery balls were letters lets say and there could be. The number is meaningless.

  17. anon1951 says:

    Like any trick …
    Like any trick there are a lot of misdirections here.

    Simple question, why not have had the numbers in clear display right from the beginning or even on a banner over the TV?

    Why did the group go from 24 to 23 with poor old Tyler(?) getting the boot because he couldn’t do auto writing? Does this mean that the crowd has to be made up of only “sympathetic” individuals.

    Why not send the numebrs to a charity and get them to buy a ticket with a refund if they weren’t right?

    Get real
