    hes frozen one half of the screen to change the balls

  7. stupidboydav says:

    constant camera …
    constant camera shaking was because the camera was being held on the cameramans shoulder, you can see this around the start,

    Why does the sound …
    Why does the sound of the lottery start and finish before/after the video appears?

    The great thing …
    The great thing about DB is that he’s got this confessional side. He wants to tell us it’s not magic; he’s not a wizard.

    Amusingly, it gets mixed up with bulls**t explanations. So you never know where you stand, if his explanations are true or just more misdirection.

    Part of his way of keeping us on our toes. Must be great fun for him, I must say!

  11. TerielAtmano says:

    They are filmed at …
    They are filmed at the same time. Many many people confirmed it. Even if you don’t find the confirmations yourself, consider how easy it would have been to prove that the filming times were different, how much reputation Derren would lose if he did that, and therefore, how likely it is he would do it.

  12. delllbooy says:

    Just as he is …
    Just as he is repeating back the numbers, between 23 and 28 the camera wobbles, moves slightly to the left (like the two split pictures are being aligned) and then the camera sticks as the whole live feed is restored. At that moment the number 39 ball (far left) definately moves up. Well that’s what I can see anyway. Also the way he says “the bonus ball doesn’t matter” sounds like he is saying it to somebody near him or instructing somebody and not like he is saying it to the audience.

  13. TerielAtmano says:

    There are no legal …
    There are no legal reasons not to show his nubers before bbc does. He’s making a prediction, and anyone’s free to make a prediction, even if they accidentally guess.

    This can either be …
    This can either be
    1) telling us the truth, that the predicted balls was pre filmed and merged with a live feed of him
    2) misdirection, planting this particular explanation in our head so we think its a camera trick

    I think this shows he definately has considered a split screen effect: whether to misdirect us or to actually use???
