  • could they have used a laser to burn the numbers onto the balls, right after the numbers where announced?

  • First one 23 they say on TV, then 35, then 11, 28, 39, 02, bonus nr 15. So how does he get it to 2,11,23,28,35 ?

  • guy on TV said

    23 35 11 28 39 02

    Derren said it in miss order?

    2 11 23 28 35 39

  • this is soooooo annoying!

  • @stiggyh also video trickery

  • If anyone has seen his horse track video you'll know he sometimes uses video to trick us (in that case, as he explains, he did the thing with hundreds of people but only showed us the one who it worked on) so he's not a fraud for using video trickery, he is a damn fine entertainer who used a variety of brilliant techniques to captivate and trick his viewers. Haters can suck it......

  • @DannyChampionMusic then how the hell do you get 8 people to levitate at the same time as criss angel did ... google mass levitation

  • All magicians technically are frauds. They do tricks. But the word fraud doesn't really apply to them due to the fact they admit what they do are tricks. As long as they admit it is not real, how can it be a fraud? Its not like they are saying they have magical abilities. Of course what Derren Brown is doing is not real magic. He admits it himself.

  • It's pre-recorded FAKEEE

  • EVEYTHING that those illusionist do - s bullshit. that's it, no magic, no tricks -pure bullshit.

  • lol its face the announcer has a little script for each one #23 lets not forget todays national players have raised over23 million pounds for the,,, listen to them all lol fake

  • i cant show u the numbers till after ( they hav been switched ) lol what a load of horsedung anyone can show any nums they want at any time. de real ones arent picked yet so its a prediction and in no way confidential. to anyone that isnt trying to dupe an idiot who wants to believe.

    ala penn/teller, the headline "psychic wins lottery" ,u just aint gonna seeit.

    or omg maybe all lotterys are won by psychics and ............not

  • It would be perfectly legal for him to play the lottery.  And it would prove a lot more than doing this.

  • how can people believe in this?

  • @bull333n

    what do you mean? How can people believe that a man can go on TV and perform an illusion? Guess what, it's real. There is such a thing as television. There are such things as men. And some of the perform tricks on television. Seems pretty believable to me. Do you all want to really know what is bull shit? I saw this movie called the Matrix, and it was all fake! And turns out Arnold Schwarzenegger isn't even really a robot. And those blue people in Avatar don't exist! Liars!

  • Derrek was a faker in most haunted so why should Darren be any more pure?

  • FUCKING BULLSHIT !!!

  • @TheApprenticeify Did you try actually listening to what he said? BBC wouldn't allow him to show the lottery number before they were announced officially by BBC, its against regulation.

  • obviously fake or this guy would be a billionair. 

  • @s0stwin He's ALREADY a multi millionare.

  • @XxzeldawolfxX multimillionair doesnt compare to a billionair.

  • Assuming it WAS live at the time, it was still televised, and so they could always use camera tricks like split-screen to make you believe the balls are not tampered with while they are replaced by a stage hand during a fake image broadcast right after the lottery numbers are called out. I believe in telekinesis and mentalism, but this is stage magic illusion.

  • It's really very simple. He just puts on a very convincing act that it's a live BBC broadcast, when it's actually a recording. Notice there are no well-known trustworthy people there (like some news anchors) to vouch for him. He is a mentalist, but he's also a stage magician.

  • @OutaSynch there is a video with split screen where you can see both channels.

  • Did you know, that we only use 10% of our brain ? That's amazing actually. I think this guy uses 50% maybe more ;P think if we all could do this easily :D aweshuum!

  • Yawn what a boring idea. The human race is still in the trees if this bloke can fool people. Come on people ditch the drivel merchant.

  • No he knows exactly what the numbers are thats why he cant show them to u.... he said they have the legal right to show them first... so obviously if it was just a prediction he could be able to show them.... but since he CANT for legal reasons they are OBVIOUSLY the RIGHT numbers to begin with.....if theyre just predictions who cares if he puts them up first....

  • @hexecutioner they only care if the predictions are right. lol

  • whatever the trick, its done very well

  • Can be just a previous winning lottery numbers

  • brilliant trickery, dont know where he did it. great trick.

    all you idiots claiming its a hoax, HE CLAIMS ITS AN ILLUSION AND NOT REAL SO HOW CAN IT BE A HOAX LOL.

  • 5:15 what in the hell is the red balls on the left?

  • numbers on lotto: 23, 35, 11, 28, 39, 2

    His numbers (" in order" ) 2, 11 , 23, 28, 35, 39

    He fucks with your heads, Its the same numbers but no in the correct order, anyone can do it.

  • @HockeyFights1890 you're stupid. they always go in numerical order.

  • i wish people would jst watch the video n not hate on it -.- its fr ur own entertainment, he's not robbing anyone he is tryin to please u. the frikin viewers -.- damn

  • I love how he says ''Balls'' sounds like he says ''Bulls''

  • Poor guy. I used to like his videos when he used Psychological experiments like magic tricks. Now he seems desperated to find ways to show new tricks even if they are a fake.

  • You are a idiot. the whole thing is him fucking with your mind. Look at it from a different perspective. Lotto have nothing to do with it.

  • v=hX3_knlUJp8

  • he was so nervous and anxious looking hahaha

  • I honestly thought this was going to be some kind of gag, that at the end he was going to reveal he didn't get any of them right and, I don't know, react with sadness, disappointment, anger, something like that. That made him getting them right really astonishing. ;)

  • Camera trick with split screen. He's very good at what he does because he uses different techniques every time.

  • Sensacional!!!

    FLAMENGO EU GOSTO DE VC, EU TENHO ORGULHO DE

    SER RUBRO NEGRO

  • so why didn't he buy the ticket... idiot =.=

  • cause you dont get to pick the number you will get 6or7 random numbers

  • You CAN pick the numbers yourself, or have a computer randomly draw numbers for you. either way... this is fake... Now if he predicts the numbers today, shows you what he predicted, and tomorrow his numbers are right, then you have something.

  • @madzane94 , don't believe me if you dont whant to but someone told me that if you sign a contract with the devil for an specific talent he tells you that you cant use this talent to get money. and that's the only explication i would give.

  • @Icrokis187 that is the most retarded thing ive read all day

  • Haha =D

  • @Icrokis187 lol there is a flaw in what you said cause the guy obviously makes money from his show. lmao

  • @madzane94 cause he doesnt use his skills for evil

  • @H3R02012 Then he should play, win and then distribute it to the very needy. Fact is this is all an illusion.

  • @madzane94 they wouldn't let him buy a ticket

  • @lightningmunk LMFAO ,again LMFAO, I certainly hope your just kidding. Im thinking of becoming a tv evangelist if people are this fucken gullable.

  • Tivo prediction pre recorded broadcast.

  • he said in numeric order as in ascending order

  • where is the video from how he explained how he did it? would like to see that explanation!

  • You're not hearing what he is saying.

  • @mischkopari

    he puts them in numerical order ie, smallest to largest. thats why his order isnt the same one.

  • The order doesn't matter in the lottery, it's always from least to highest, so after the pick the numbers they put it from low to high after the numbers are posted

  • @ mischkopari, that's because he puts them in numerical order, from smallest to largest

  • This is so shit. I like some of his other videos but what the hell does this have to do with the human mind.

    He's standing like a f**king statue and covering his mouth while the numbers come out. Suspicious much?

    Obviously some camera/magic trick.

    Anyone who thinks he actually predicted the numbers must be some fan-boy/girl of his. I can't believe Derren supposedly spent a year on this shit.

  • Are you that fucking stupid??? didnt you hear at the end when he says tune in Friday and i'll show how i did this!!

    Fucking idiot!!!

  • thats is called latency on broadcast!

  • if he could predict the lottery numbers, wouldn't he buy the tickets? nooooo he prefers to be "modest"

  • Maybe he just watched the show.. taped it.. and just put the same numbers on a tabble.. i can do that too.. and there is no way u can prove he didnt do that

  • Im guessing when the show was first on, they played it live the day of the lottery and the show and the lottery were on at the same time.

    If you payed attention/watched the video at all you would have seen that.

  • ...it was on live with the bbc

  • uhh..it was quite clear..even people writing on her can vouch...that he did it on live tv.

  • wow! thats amazing

    not

    camera trickery.

  • he got banned for camera trickery u say?

  • possibility

  • WOW!!.. Derren did you buy the lotto ticket??.. I would if I could do this!!.. Is it that you can't benefit from it as a deal with the devil or why dodn't you want any to benefit from it?..

  • Derren Brown is AMAZING! I got all his videos on my ChanneI!!

  • He admits to it being an illusion, can people just accept that and not still think its Derren being insincere?

    I guess people will always accuse him of lieing...

  • I wish that I was English.

  • surely if he can predict the lottery he would just do it every week ?

  • He was banned from doing the lottery lol.

  • he is a mentalist. a multi millionaire. he claims to have no powers, he is simply someone who knows how the mind works extremely well. he only ever claimed to be an entertainer. he is showing us, the people who ar amazed by the fact someone can study the brain in such depth, can do these sort of things. all the haters are saying he is a fraud and everything. he is not. if he was a fraud then im pretty sure he would be apprehended by now. leave him alone he is doing a job like the rest of us

  • how does understanding the mind extremely well have anything to do with picking the right lotto numbers.

    obviously its a hoax

  • Wasn't a hoax, i watched this live and there was no way it could of been.

  • He's a conjurer and skeptic. I don't think hoax is the correct word. A hoax is a when a person is claiming that it's real...Derren is very careful to walk a line of uncertainty. Even though it's a camera trick. You can see if you have a high quality copy the fake camera shake and the split screen effect.

  • @chadmofoingross21

    done on live television while the lottery was playing live i watched it. oh and btw if it was a hoax the lottery wouldnt ban him from playing lotto.

  • @Andyking32 wtf does studying the brain have to do with predicting lottery numbers . If he doesnt have ESP, LMFAO than what does it matter how the mind works. Oh ya, I get it, He must be a master of ball brains. lol This isnt a fucken job any more than palm reading. It should be a crime for manipulating the brains of kool-aid drinkers like yourself. I thought you guys already left on halleys comet anyway.

  • @Andyking32 chris angel is a fraud and he hasnt been aprehended.

  • @Andyking32 if he is real and not a fraud why didnt he bought the ticket ???????? and plz dont give me a weak exuse

  • @nourswwe You asked 'if he is real and not a fraud why didnt he bought the ticket '

    Well, it's not real and it is not a fraud. It is entertainment. :)

  • he's shitting it.... he's speaking at a million miles an hour quite blatently worried...

  • Watch aII episodes of derren brown on My ChanneI

  • 4:11 clearly speaking to somebody

  • i bet he wished he brought a ticket!!!

  • he's a multi million air and not bothered abotu money soooo nah i don't think so

  • An anagram Of Derren Brown is Cunt face.

  • i cant believe people honestly think its a split screen. why would ANYONE bother doing that? its so simple and frankly stupid! if that really was what he had done ...many others wouldve done that before him. so many people are being smug about thinking they 'know' how he did it :L some people are so dumb they dont even know it...i think he's awesome.

  • For the 100th time, the ball moved!

  • I can assume one wants to cause a reaction & get some replies. Surely no one is as stupid as you claim to be. Derren is successful because of peoples stupidity, here he takes the piss of stupid people a step to far & has become complacent. He's a mentalist, look up the word, he has no other powers except the same knowledge that Paul Daniels posesses.

  • ummmmm ...i dont understand why you mention the fact he has no powers ...who on earth claimed he did??

    and he's not successful because people are stupid (though im sure that helps :L)

    people just dont understand. or dont care to understand i suppose.

  • Truly fascinating!!

    I love the comments on here lol, stupidity. Derren is the first person to admit there's no such thing as ESP and magic etc, all his illusions involve parts of the brain most people aren't even aware of. He's just extremely intelligent

  • I cant see how he can be called a showman, i remember when he pointed a 'loaded' gun against his head and predicted which chamber was the empty one, only for the Jersey police to announce the next day that the gun was full of fake bullets and there was no chance of them letting him use real ones. Whats entertaining about watching that?

  • has any of yous been to see his show,this guy is amazing xx

  • split screen - watch the far left ball after the last number comes out, then watch the con mans face when he has to push it back in its slot at the end - classic, the guys a fraud

  • Hes not a fraud, hes a showman. He isnt meant to be magic or psychic, he even admits it. Just sit back and enjoy it.

  • Of course he's a fraud, you imbecile. Are you 10 years old? There is no such thing as magic and ESP.

  • whats with the abuse? ironic you call me 10 years old when you cant seem to have a civilsed discussion and listen to peoples opinions without resorting to abusive comments. not once did i mention magic, my comment was aimed at the fact he lied in his explanation into how he 'predicited the lottery'. id repspect him if his after show actually showed us how it was done, not some rubbish about using the mind and a group of people.

  • he never claims to be more than anything but an entertainer, how does that make him a fraud?

  • look at 4:10 covers his mouth and it is very clear he is talking to assistant adding the balls as they are read out on the tv!!

  • Why would he do that?? If there was as assistant they could watch the BBC channel as well as he was!

  • guys, he did it, and its not physich, if you saw "how to predict the lottery" 2 days after this was aired, he explained how he did it, with deep math in people mind, a smaller version of it was a cion flip one, the other person picks where a cion will land 3 times in a row (eg, tails heads tails) and he gave instructions on how to do it at home, i tried it on a friend who didnt see this, it worked 6 times in a row, so i believe him

  • oh, and how could this be photoshoped if it was live?

  • Are you totally stupid ? Do you REALLY think you can get the lotto numbers using mean mathematics ? If so WHY THE FUCK DOESNT ANYONE DO IT ? You need to think before you print my friend.

  • are YOU totally stupid? everyone dosent do it becuase for one, you need 20somthing people to do it, and how do you explain the coin trick worked on a friend of mine 3 times in a row, each time i had a less then one in eight chance, explain that, think i just got lucky 6 times in a row? serously, have a bit of an open mind, you are such a close minded person

  • also, people dont do it becuase it takes a bit of trial and error and isnt guarnteed to work

  • The coin stuff is just some counter-intuitive maths, like the question of the hypothetical game-show with three doors, two flash cars, one donkey and the host opens one, should you stick or switch? Only Marie-anne Savant (highest IQ ever <3 <3) answered correctly (always switch) whereas many respected mathematicians fumbled and said it didn't matter and even wrote angry letters to her for her answer, saying she was misleading people.

    You had much more than a 1/8 chance

  • actually no, sorry, two donkeys, one flash car, prize, whatever. Or maybe it's a game for environmentalists who live up the mountain. Yes. That makes me right still. Donkeys ftw :D everyone wants a donkey!

  • Scribbling on paper cannot make you a millionare, that part of the show was obviously fake. The coin thing is possible and worked for me and a friend a few times.

  • hey, i just wanna say thanks, for not going all crazy like that other guy did becuase i have a different opinion then him, you were nice about it and showed your opinion without saying im stupid and everything, lets just leave it that we disagree ok? :)

  • OMG, you are so dumb. The coin "trick" is based on standard probabilitys. (go study) And perhaps you could tell me whats so hard about getting 20 people together ? Tell you what, you get 10 and i will get 10 and we can try it ? Deal ? You can even keep any money we make, ok ? Come on lets do it, i have 10 yt pals who will say yes.

  • AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

  • Can't believe some people still think he actually predicted the lottery. If you've read his book he basically says how he thinks all sort of psychic stuff like this is a load of shit and that its a trick. Not that you really need to read his book to know that it's pretty damn obvious, he aint superhuman.

  • Youre totally correct my friend. Can you believe that so many people believe his "average no. " rubbish. If it were true . . er, I think people would do it.

  • photoshopped

  • simpsons did it

  • it's all bulllllllllllll

  • Kay well I wasn't imnpressed at first but I can truly believe it now. the stand clearly doesn't move throughout, meaning the number were there, he then turned the stand round showing the correct numbers, and the look on his face was pure relief anyway. I BELIEVE HIM!!

  • this isbullshit if he reali knew them before the draw ne1 hu wanted to learn how to do phsycic stuff wld guess the numbers and be millionaires , and the stuck in you seat thing doesnt work i know sum1 hu was on the show and she said some of the people were told to stay in the seats before is was aired , he is a fake noob

  • Now rather you joking with the rest of these guys or you really do not have a brain cell within you head.

    Just to know that the 'seat sticking' did work, i had a friend who could not get out of her seat after she watched it and followed it carefully.

    Just like this, there are ways in which the viewers are misdirected and confused with the many intricate levels of psychology involved. To explain would spoil this but what you see is what you get, no tricks involved. Just pure genius at work.

  • satelight dealy the numbers are drawn about 2 mins before we get the vision he was in the studio that would be the easest way to get the numbers on to the balls before the draw with it still being live

  • the numbers were writtin on the balls,

    if you look carefully at the advert for the event (you know the backwards one)

    the numbers were written on the lampost next to him.

  • yep Miigga is right

  • the fact that he can't 'announce the lottery numbers before the BBC' is utter B***s*** OF COURSE HE CAN because his numbers are just his predictions not the actual numbers!

  • yes but everyone would use those numbers then.

  • Yeah but if he did everyone'd be running out to buy a lottery ticket with those numbers on! He COULD if he wanted but then there'd be like 1000 winners... And we all knew he'd get them right anyways...

  • Comment removed

  • no hes not hes very smart an tricks da mind an uses peoples phycology against them

  • well e jus did da lottery was on an ter was da numbas....ok i will admit darren oviously aint magic but he uses the human mind an science to do his tricks hes not fake just an incredibly intelligent person!

  • please learn some english

  • he said that bbc had legal rights to announce the numbers first so he couldn't show his predicitions before it was officially announced.

    so stop saying there was a fucking laser

  • The other reason that he couldn't show his "predictions" was that he did not know the answer yet and the numbers were not written on his lottery balls yet.

  • I've just watched how to beat the roulette wheel and the Ginger Spunk Monkey has just cured me of insomnia which I've had for 35 years. Can channel 4 do some magic of their own and make this bell-end disapear off our telly.

  • @jjoonnnnyy9933

    Spelling mistakes is not a crime. Get a life you dumb f***

  • why didn't he simply buy the ticket with the winning numbers....win a few million $ and then announce that?

  • he wasnt allowed to

  • ... theres a law saying derren brown is not allowed to buy a lottery ticket?

  • just that time

  • no dude, everyone can buy ticket, even the peoople who work in lottery can buy lottery

  • look at the machine at the back of the rooom.

    Does it contain a LASER?

    Why is it directly opposite the table tennis balls?

    Also table tennis balls are very thin and a laser could easly etch the numbers on them.

    Why use these balls in the first place.

  • How can people say magic so to speak isn't real to be honest the human mind wants a logical and rashinal explaination of everything, but not everything is able to be explained. But Derren Brown uses many Sciences to do what he does.

  • he doesn't use many sciences. He is a magician, an illusionist, he does tricks.

  • Rubbish this guy is a devil worshihper, I went to school with him, he studied witchcraft and is in league with the devil and he used the devils powers to know the future :OP

  • well if u know him can you tell him i think he's really cute!!! :D

  • yea I wil lmentio nthat the next time he come round to learn some new tricks.

  • sweet

  • Simples, he freezes, the camera is paused and he has a big bag of balls, it takes him a few minutes to find the balls and put them on the rack replacing the dummy balls.

    Then he goes back into his freeze position and the camera starts running.

    I used to do this all the time in the school talent competion which I won every year.

    You just need someone to set of the fire alarm at the right time so you can switch the balls.

  • Laser engraving. If the white balls are made with a fax paper-like kind of material, a tightly focused invisible infrared laser, even moderately hot, would be able to print the numbers as they come out. Note that none of the numbers on the balls dip below the transparent front cover, which would have affected the laser beam.

  • on his advert which someone uploaded on 18th of august he has the numbers on the lamposts so the only explenation is him fixing it

  • No, those are different numbers. The numbers on the show were 2, 11, 23, 28, 35 and 39, the numbers on the lamp post in the advert were 22, 6, 25, 47 and a green sticker that isn't clear.

  • Just one simple question: who in the world, capable to predict the lucky numbers, would play the fool on tv rather than playing those numbers?

    You got the answer. Illusion....

  • you can actually see a line down the screen to the right of the balls where the split screen is being used -_-

  • ...lucky guess?

  • Derren PREDICTS he can FOOL A LOT OF (very very stupid) PEOPLE.

    And its not even funny!

  • I hate how people actualy think magic is real; and psycics.

    Infact i find it an insult to my intelligence.

  • of course magic aint real. Hence "Magic TRICK"

  • he paused the camera and switched the balls that's why he had 2 c amera men

  • sorry to dissapoint, but he cheated the lottery was pre recorded

  • no its no. the lottery is 100% live. he used split screens. the image on the left is a fixed picture with fake camera shake. then, when the lottery is being shown, there is someone there changing the bals.

  • i like the way u dont see the no.s till later

  • Camelot selling it's majority shares mmm I wonder why!

  • Comment removed

  • When your all saying "im not stupid enough to believe the numbers are real!", your being stupid enough to believe at all.

  • Correction 48hrs, but niether here or there as it's been 5 days!!!!!
