Funny you should say that, my housemate shouted witch! just now when he saw it.

irlande_euroluv · 09-09-2009 11:01PM

You've seen his bank account then?

Adamcp898 · 09-09-2009 11:02PM

Heard he was going to try that, did he really get 6??

Earthhorse · 09-09-2009 11:03PM

No, I didn't see him do this.

Which means he must be invisible!

My God, how does he do it?!?

:rolleyes:

Hes not saying he's some sort of psychic. He'll explain how he did it on Friday and it won't be magical.

-Leelo- · 09-09-2009 11:05PM

No way, cant believe he actually did it. He's a trickery old witch.

irlande_euroluv · 09-09-2009 11:05PM

He got all six correct. Its mad shat...

TPD · 09-09-2009 11:06PM

If he's doing it just before each number comes out, it could be the same way that lad did it in Jonathan Creek.

It'll be something to do with how he actually mentioned every number and the power of persuasion of him getting it right made it seem like he got it right

I didn't see it btw, so I could be wrong..

Did any one switch to BBC1 as the can easily delay the feed that appeared on C4. I missed it

murfie · 09-09-2009 11:08PM

so how did he do it then? was it truly live and could we see the numbers before they were drawn?

I don't recall seeing them myself. I'd say he just used some sort of illusionist trick to pull it off.

irlande_euroluv · 09-09-2009 11:11PM

He had his six numbers picked before the draw. I wanna win the lotto . . . Cant even get one poxy number mostly :pac:

entropi · 09-09-2009 11:11PM

He always claims too that he will never use his "ability" to improve his bank balance. Freaky how he does it though...it aint the first time!

There was a guy under the stage watching the live feed, and telling the guy on stage what each number was as soon as it rolled out. The feed that was playing to the audience was a second or two delayed, so the magician had enough time to shout the number before it rolled into the tray thing.

It was live on bbc. He had a telly showing it live and his number balls were on a stand beside the telly turned away from the viewer. He turned them around after the draw.

That's how I thought he was going to do it. But people are seeing the broadcast was live (see below).

Was it just as good as when he played Russian Roulette live on TV a few years back? :eek:

Oh wait. He did that without a loaded weapon so it was a load of bollocks. :rolleyes:

January · 09-09-2009 11:19PM

Was flicking back and forth between channel four and bbc... no more than a few seconds delay. He also said that legally he couldn't show the numbers before the draw as Camelot and the BBC have exclusive rights to the lotto numbers and legally have to show them first. The number stand was in full view the entire time the tv was on.

Daroxtar · 09-09-2009 11:19PM

He might be a witch and he might be a tosser but the man is fukking brilliant.

galwayrush · 09-09-2009 11:21PM

Did he win any money?:rolleyes:

Are you saying the balls he used were blanks?

Lump · 09-09-2009 11:23PM

I think it could be a fake. They can use a vision desk to do a split wipe across the left side of the screen (where the stand is) then have some one run in and do the numbers while the draw is on. Then remove the wipe. I would have liked to see the stand infront of derren.

Yeah I'm just after watching it. Could be that the camera froze as the balls started coming out, with a moving image overlayed over the tv screen. Notice he doesn't move very much while theyre coming out?

Wouldn't have been too hard for him to put the right balls in as they came out, then pop back to the other side of the stage. Everybodys eyes would be on either the tv, the balls to make sure nothing is wrong, or on the bbc, so easy enough to get him in the right pose and switch back to a full moving image.

Post above makes it even simpler :P

HOLY S**T. Did anyone just see Darren Brown predict the uk lotto numbers ????
