delet... Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 this quote from where he was asked about his russian roulette stunt pretty much sums up what we should think about anything he does ... Brown himself defended the programme, saying, "It probably sounds odd. But as a magic-related performer, to have that even being asked: Was it real? Was it not real? That lifts it to a level that I'm very comfortable with. What's left is the fact that it was a terrific piece of television." terrifically boring piece of television imO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaini Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 his book is enjoyable, and surprisingly weighty for a 'celebrity' book fucking love derren. although i'd be wary he'd try to hypno-bum me in person Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mrcopyandpaste Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 i would let him hypno-bum me, he is fucking fit. and he got all 6 right y0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Coalbucket PI Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 he can't have predicted the numbers so I can only assume he somehow arranged for his prediction balls in his studio that he 'couldn't show us' to be changed as the numbers were being drawn. I don't think that would be too hard to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred McGriff Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 how was this lotto thing set up? he just called out the numbers as they were being drawn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gary C Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Didn't see it, but I'll wildly speculate that the BBC has a slight delay that he could exploit or that he used some tele-trickery to pick every number and simply edit them together in the right order as they came out.

Here it is (hopefully it'll work in your country): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMIzR6GNAXw And it was indeed a live link to the other channel (well milliseconds out anyway) as we had two TV sets in the room showing each channel.

zazen Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Clearly its impossible to predict the lottery numbers ... so ... Although the white balls to the left of the screen appear to be in shot all of the time, I guess the only way this could be done is with some sort of camera trick. e.g. freeze the left hand side of the screen to a static image, while someone creeps on and sticks the correct balls in the holder. There is a little bit of camera-shake to contend with, but thats not much of a problem these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaini Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 camera trickery isn't what derren does... i dunno how but probably not camera trickery he did say it took him a year to do (but he always says shit like that) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbpete Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 But the thing is, as he's going to explain it on Friday (and that apparently we'll be able to try it ourselves) I doubt the explanation is going to be - get yourself a really good dual camera setup, buy some motion tracking software and bob's your uncle.... Oh Derren with your mysteries and tricksies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest elliotjking Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 I just have this mental image of whoever owns / runs the lottery watching the clip again and again whilst gently murmuring "hooolleeee shit" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gary C Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Maybe it took him a year to discover that the National Lottery is rigged. It's too improbable. The camera shake is almost certainly intentional to make us believe that nothing could possibly be going on with the balls. There's no other reason why they wouldn't use a tripod.* I'm interested though, sadly I'll miss Friday's show too. So if everyone ends up winning the Saturday lottery I'm going to be fucking livid. * Fuck tripods even. Channel 4 use those massive camera suits with a pendulum weight that let the camera-man walk with minimal shaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
