I thought he wouldn't really say how it was done I still enjoyed it though even though it was obviously a load of rubbish. I'm looking forward to the next one.
Is there a video somewhere of this seat sticking thing? I didn't get what the heck you guys are even talking about until another forum made it clearer.
Nothing here either. The vid was just a lot of rotating lines and weird music, it don't think it would do anything if you watched it alone. His introduction before the video contained a lot of suggestion that works on suggestive (translate: gullible!) people. Bramsworth, search youtube for "Derren Brown : Control the Nation", it should probably be on there by now.
I loved David Mitchell's comment on "Mock the week" about the Derren Brown's Lottery Prediction. He suggested the biggest trick of the night was convincing people he'd actually predicted the numbers, despite actually writing them down as the lottery numbers were read out live on the National Lottery show. What would have REALLY been prediction and bloody impressive was if he'd actually shown the numbers he'd chosen BEFORE the NLS.
Derren Brown never ceases to amaze me. It's scary that people like him just walk around on a daily basis. On one of his shows he paid people (Including buying a diamond ring) with pieces of paper making the people see them as dollar bills. Incredible stuff.
David Mitchell's very funny, but he's a bit wrong there. Derren wrote them down so that he could hold the board up against the numbers he had apparently already chosen. Yeah, very true. He tries explaining that away by saying the BBC has the legal right to announce the winning numbers before anyone else. How true that is, I don't know. I only just watched that episode (and the following one) last night on "4OD" (Channel 4's iPlayer, but worse). As with all his stuff, it was very entertaining - but I prefer his one-off shows, though; they're usually better. EDIT: Fixing grammar.
Thats bullshit. How can someone showing a prediction (that turns out to be correct or not) the same as announcing the official numbers of the lottery. If that were true then he could of had them printed in the days newspaper in the classifieds or an advert or something.
Indeed. I did say "apparently already chosen". Agreed; that would have been a better way to prove it. I was merely explaining his reasoning.
this explaination is obviously a load of old tosh - an unrelated random system can be predicted by 24 people and he just happens to discard the bad numbers? yeeeeah. The split screen is the way it was done with a number of links showing how it was done and what parts were prerecorded and what wasn't. I'm not a big Brown detractor, i just prefer the NLP stuff rather than this sort of trick.
