  • God whatpart do people not get he is a entrtainer he has never claimed toposes any powers he uses illusions and hypnosis for his acts. He is entertaining you its not about it being real becouse its not he is entertaining you because it confuses and makes you wonder how he does it. Just becouse someone is gay doesent mean they are not normal. you just need to grow up and get a life

  • What does his sexual preferences have to do with ANYTHING ?

  • you're a fucking joke man. you're toilet paper. you're a fireman. 

  • Bu-Bye :D

    LOVE HIM !!!! xxx

  • He's not gay. He says he is because of all the girls who chase after him.

  • @omptybeth He is gay. It's in his books, on his biography, and on his wikipedia page. He lives with his male partner.

  • he is gay but he is amazing

  • his bf now co-write his show... use to be a student taking part in the sceance episode.. the guy who scream in the spirit cabinet.. try watch the vid n u know who im talking about

  • @recanaw Gods sakes, 'Ian' is his friend and one of the writers from an old show, they're not together. His co-writer, Coops, is again, a friend, they're not together. Sure, he may have a partner, but he doesn't wish to broadcast it. Stop making assumptions from guesswork.

  • @BeckyyAdele ok sorry i might misheard it coz from the behind the mischief episode i thought he say created by the half... again sorry since i misunderstand what he says and thank you for correcting me...

  • I remember reading somewhere that Derren has a boyfriend, so he's not single.

    I think his boyfriend is Iian, but I'm not sure.

    

  • indeed y is he single but if u did fall for him how wud u no it was u that was interested and not him controling u? another thing fuck tryn ti hide anything from him he just has to look at them and can tell wot they think or supprise him i.e birthday stuff but 1 gr8 thing u'd have the world best behaved kids llf but he is hot i agree x

  • @bakukider goodness i cant stop pressing it

  • who the hell put thumbs down to every comment on here before mine???? lol some 5 year old with nothing to do.

  • yep

  • ive never seen thumbs up get in to dunbble figures

  • wank wank..money in the bank.

  • I think he's a fucking genius. He managed to take a platinum and diamond engagement ring from a jeweler's with blank paper. Idiots think he has actual magical powers or that he's coning people (usually because they're too thick to understand how difficult what he does is) You have to appreciate that he's just a really smart guy more than anything else.

  • he completed flushed his career. dont forget to wave good bye derren !!

  • He's gay! Who cares?

  • CORRECTION! A handsome gay :P a rather.... dashing.... handsome gay :P

  • HAHA! you're right ;-)

  • if you watched the vidio it does and this is why he was only 1 single number off,he is amazingly clever how he even came that close to predicting that right.....great guy Darren Brown!

  • K Why are are people critisizing him...he predicted the speed of which the cars was going at correctly,he predicted the squash court number correctly,he even hypnotised sum1 to give him £5000,as he said just before he predicted the roulette wheel number,he explained there is a chance of him getting it wrong,the only way he would,is if it would bounce out of control.

  • He says 5 events is this including the 10 min ep when he predicted the lotto?

  • oh if id of watched a few mor seconds my question would of been answerd lol

  • you broke my heart derren!

  • Hes gay apparently

  • One off, but how he predicted the number 37 in the squash court was amazing! great 4 weeks and hope he does something like this again in the future

  • tonight is how to take down a casino i cant wait

  • Can't belive he was one off :(

  • i know he nearly cried i felt proper bad

  • He failed

  • this was uploaded when was the morning when i went back 2 school

  • Wow, Im A Massive Fan Of Derren Brown,

    I Would Love To See Him IRL One Day =]

  • he said over the next 4 weeks he will do five episodes but he named 4 only?

  • he says that hes doing one on wednesday 9th and on friday11th

  • yeah that was last month tho!

  • lottery on wed

    how he did on Friday

    control the nation

    how to be a psychic spy

    how to take down a casino

    i counted 5 but i went to school....

  • People are being fooled.

    Yes, he did use camera trickery or split-screen, whatever. But he did mention the use of misdirection and Magic. This thought provoking event is what is based on these things.

    If Derren told everybody that he used camera trickery for instance, do you really think that'd boost his position?

  • derren isnt fake the lottery thing is

  • He says it's going to be an exciting four weeks. . .but it Isn't is it!!? So far he's doen a simple split screen trick and then lied about how it was done by talking bullshit and the other tricks are all stuff from his stage shows.

    Browns run out of ideas.

  • I am a big fan but there is some truth up to now

  • It was split screen for sure. The entire second "how" programme was ALL misdirection.  He's still quite a clever bloke though. :)

  • your mother sucked a lepricorn and then raped a cabbage

  • who else thinks he looks like halfwit from big brother ?

  • what i don't get is, if all of these people hate this "shit" so much why are you on youtube watching and commenting to it?

  • He can't be all that clever, can't even manage to spell "Darren".

  • Nice one. Mock the Week is on next week aswell, i'm sure you can steal as many jokes as you want from that episode aswell.

  • lmao

  • so you like Andy parson's then, ha ha love when people steal jokes and claim them as there own.

  • Do you? What an exciting life you must have - knobhead!

  • The funny thing is, that Derren Brown does'nt pretend to be a magician or can somehow beyond all logic predict the future. He is an illusionist, and its how he does these things that are really intriging. Also his contoling the nation event, there were so many negative feedbacks, you've got to say to your self why didnt it work on me.

  • u do realise that no one could control a nation through hypnotism

  • true.

  • i have and i'm talkin bout the people who he gets on stage and the people in videos like the lottery are the actors, not the whole fuckin audience u fuckin twat

  • Oh f**k DB his shows are terrible they are boring, his tricks are shit and it's all staged

    Don't reply back with a load of shit cos i don't care

  • i totally agree with u, finally someone shows that they aren't a mindless sheep

  • AAAAAA IM STILL STUCK. COME BACK

  • yes he's back

  • Derren puts alot of work into these programs and perfecting his skills, i wasnt satisfied with the explinations on how he predicted the lottery, but atleast it makes you think about it and notice the little things - the events are worth a look regardless. Plus go back and look at the other programs and demonstrations of his work, hes a great entertainer if you believe nothing else

  • Makes you laugh all the he did this he did that. What Derren and Chanel 4 did was create a huge amount of publicity for his shows. He has pulled of a trick 'predicting' the lottery results which came out correct. The papers all had a field day and then when he said he would reveal how it was done his viewing figures went through the roof, due to peoples greed. But it also generated people to watch his future events. Misdirection was a huge hint for the show and series!!

  • .. Sorry, you were saying?

  • People are so small minded and annoyin, loads of people criticize Derren but i bet most of them have never seen anythin he's done, he admits he can't read minds and he's not a psychic, and everything he does leaves me flabbergasted, I've seen everything to do with derren on the internet and all his live shows, plus read his book, he amazes me! I enjoy his misdirection and trickery, every1 else should too, it's good fun and i can't wait to see the next 3 shows, proper gettin involved :)

  • its hilarious everyone complaining about the lottery event as if they expected him to genuinely predict it. there has to be a trick at some point, he was more likely to get it by actually rigging the lotto than through the method he suggests. he implies as much if you pay attention, for example he says he doesn't believe in anything psychic. the trick is as much of a 'con' as when copperfield 'levitates' people to rapturous applause, or the classic sawn in half trick - cheap once you know how.

  • And to follow up on my comment below about people's inability to listen. Well you should listen to this properly. That's all I'm saying. Yes Samshakesphere he's an excellent 'entertainer'. Which is why he can't get away with the lame lotto 'reveal effect' trick as he knows. It wont disappoint even the hardest of cynics & critics like myself.

  • Lottery Nonsense: Fake intro, Digital camera shake, Split-Screen.

    Must try harder Derren.

  • are you a fucking idiot? he is telling the nation its bullshit! he doesnt beleive in any of the paranormal its just a trick! he tells you that! just enjoy the fact you dont know how he does it!

  • u cannot prove hes "faking it", if u believe then u do and if u dont then u dont just be sure to keep an open mind about it before u decide and cynicism doesn't really help.....:) u gotta admit it is interesting though

  • a cynic is what an idealist calls a realist

  • that took me a while to comprehend but it makes perfect sense.

  • Comment removed

  • yeah it is he is a alien

  • the "special twist" now that sounds interesting!

  • Notice the red background? Seems a bit out of place... Also, Derren seems a big giddy, no?

    Really, the background is a video overlay. What we can't see, is Derren's assistant flailing around wildly, in a desperate attempt to get Derren to react to something we, the audience, cannot see. This is training for Derren, since on the big day (the day he predicts the lotto), any kind of reaction to his assistant replacing the balls would be easily noted.

  • Derren is actually an android sent back to this time from the future. He is setting lots of subliminal messages and conscious messages which will one day accumulate to create one message which we will act upon unconsciously which will save us from ending the world prematurely in the future.

  • what? lol

  • click more info and then click 10:35 again and again

  • LoL

  • lol =p

  • Mrteddey that is amazing.

  • Why dont he use his magic to make him straight fucking batty boy brown

  • hahahaha!

  • justtakeiteasy: You are clearly answering truths to those who don't even know the guys history. He *is* a professed illusionist ... you are correct. For those who give you the thumbs down its because they are in denial of the facts.

    And illusionist he is ... you are correct.

    ~F~

  • what a phoney

  • What makes him a phoney scesfizia?

  • oh let me see, he's just a glorified magician who wishes he could go to hogwarts, u can't predict randomness, its impossible, and there's no proof he is real, he just uses actors in his shows when he did it

  • ok so if you cant prove its real, to u it means it isnt real, but how can u prove it isnt real? theres no proof of that either

  • thats retarded, thats the fuking u can't prove that god doesn't exist arguement, anyway, y do u believe what he does, r u just a mindless sheep who believes everything he sees on t.v, it's in our nature to question things

  • i dont know whether to believe he does but like i said i cant sit here and say he definately doesn't considering i dont know that.

  • You know nothing about Darren Brown. He admits that everything he does is all illusion and tricks. And often times he will show in detail how he does the trick afterwards. He does not claim to be magic, he is an illusionist and hypnotist.

    If you knew Darren Brown at all, you would know that he did NOT predict randomness but that there is some clever illusion behind it that he will reveal.

  • You spelled his name wrong

  • You know nothing about Derren Brown, because its DERREN BROWN. LOLOLOLOLOL

  • The trick was a basic 'Reveal Effect' Derren does not use hypnosis as this does not exist. He is a magician/mentalist and he NEVER tells people the truth about how he perfomed his tricks. He gives FALSE explanations ALWAYS and obviously.. Dohhhhhhh!!!!!

  • look up his performance at "something wicked this way comes" he does not use stooges as he throws a teddy bear and a frizby in his other shows and even explains how he did his tricks so wtf r u talking about not to mention his tv series which had several tv audience tricks which worked on me most of the time.

    how would you explain that? it is clear u hav no knolage of his performances and simply wont believe what he does.

  • derren relies on people ignorance & stupidity and inability to listen. He only doesn't use Stooges when he says he doesn't. He only doesn't use camera tricks when he says he doesn't. He didn't say 'No camera trickery' in his lotto trick.. & it was just that. Again I will say he gives FALSE explanations for his tricks. Research Mentalism instead of mumbo jumbo rubbish nlp & the rest of that nonesense. But again there is no telling people cos they are STUPID and ignorant to the truth.

  • calling yourself a dickhead is not nice

  • Speak for yourself... ¬¬

  • I think you've hit the nail right in the head with that comment. I totally agree with you there. Despite that I'm still a big fan of Derren purely because he's very entertaining to watch and I think that's something that nobody can really disagree with.

  • in his series of mind control he sed at the start of every show there was no stooges camera tricks ect. so wtf r u talking about.

  • OMG wtf are you talking about, a prime example of what I'm talking about, stupid people.. wtf has his "Mind Control" series got to do with the 'Event' series.. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. It's a different package ffs. Just cos you buy cheese and onion crisp from Walkers doesn't mean they have the same ingredients in as cheese & onion crisp from Golder Wonder.. Again I will stress but shouldn't have to because Derren says it himself here. SURPRISE TWIST you foooking idiots.. the lot of you..

  • he's a magician who deserves to be at some 5 year olds party, illusionist my ass, he just gets actors and goes erm, yeah, i predicted you would choose that cup

  • scesfizia, your talking shit, actualy watch his shows. its random. unless his 10.000+ audience are all actors, which is totaly bullshit

  • well then sherlock you just answered your own question. fuck the lottery. come back here when you turned into a better magician/illusionist. and ill pat your head and say well done.

  • we are not all fools me brown we see though the lotto scam. I hope next weeks show is not as disappointing.

  • me too.

  • I said from the very beginning that I couldnt believe how many people are taken in by Derren Brown... and that he uses actors - honestly, what a joke.

  • cunting hell no one cares

  • Um.. I thought there were five Events? Lottery, Sumbliminal, Spy and Casino... I can only count four....

  • him predicting the lottery and explaining count as two

  • lottery explanation..

  • u missed one the other one is how he predicted the lottery

  • predicting the lottery - 1, how to win the lottery - 2, then sumbliminal, spy and casino

  • Here's something to consider:

    A 'magician' cannot take part in the National Lottery (or play in Casino's; which is a totally different kettle of fish) this applies here in the UK. The reason for not allowed in Lotto is not because anyone would be stupid enough to believe someone could actually predict the numbers and legitimately win; the reason is that because if a magician won the bloody thing then the entire nation would be up in an uproar thinking it was fixed.

    Go figure.

    ~F~

  • I think it's a tad silly to state he is going to 'attempt' to predict the lotto number; he's a bloody magician for goodness' sakes. For him to use the word 'attempt' makes it sound like he doesn't precisely know what he is doing; in which case, he doubts his own ability as a magician?

    A bad choice of words here that really doesn't make him rivetting viewing; me-thinks

    ~F~

  • He's not a magician you idiot.

    Get your facts right next time.

  • Yes he is, check his wiki.

  • yeah he is

  • Biogeneric: You might want to insult your own intellegence but don't have a go at mine you pratt: This is from HIS official website:

    Derren Victor Brown (born 27 February 1971) is an English magician, illusionist, mentalist, painter and sceptic.

    Perhaps you would like to inform Mr Brown that he has his own facts wrong?

    ~F~

  • Can people like you stop being so quick to call other people idiots? The comments left after you CLEARLY show that you are the one with the wrong facts. If I was you I'd be saying "Oh yeah, sorry about calling you an idiot, you were right after all."

  • I've never heard of him and I don't do the lottery. I take it this guy's an illusionist?

  • he likes coke

  • i think the assistants who "predicted" the numbers were real

    i just think they were just fooled my derren

    after all on the actual reveal they did not know what their average numbers were

    so i think derren made them believe they had actualy predicted the numbers so as to make the whole thing look real

  • i'm very disappointed with derren's friday night 'explanation'. i'm normally a huge fan, but he is taking the piss with this. it's not impressive, it's just silly

  • Derren Brown is a genius. He performs a simple trick and has the nation talking about it for days - Genius.

    The clue is in the C4 trailers leading up to it. Juggling four balls in one hand...

  • he is very talented, no doubt. He is a great entertainer and a great crowd pleaser. But so much of his stuff is just pre-prepared nonsense. So many people are like, "wow, he's a genius, he's not human". Come the fuck on. In this day and age, in this modern era with all this technology at our hands, any illusion is possible. I don't buy into it, not that easily.

  • Yeah, everyone will have their doubts about him, for me I'd like to believe it but there is always doubt. The only way i would believe it was if i was on it, for example did you see the trailer for next weeks? apparently he'll stop people from being able to move from their seats.. heh. It will be interesting

  • The trick Derren performed was to convince people that the numbers could be genuinely predicted using crowd mentality. He adds the realistic explanation of weighted balls at the end for the cynics and less gullible out there. As for the actual lottery ball 'trick', Occam's Razor - the simplest explanation is almost always right, rubberskinuk is probably correct. The final balls/numbers weren't shown to the 24 because he didn't know them then. He revealed them in a separate room for a reason.

  • god bless you my brother

    am here in the usa and you derren changed my live, am now a supper human. love wes

  • your a supper human?

    wow that really is amazing

  • Anything is better than Big Brother

  • Trick 2

    He says i will show a short clip that will have u stuck 2 your sofa.clearly if u think he's going 2 show u something gd u will stay in the same place .Thats him done his trick.

  • You're stupid.

  • I can't wait for next weeks one, i wanna get hypnotised or whatever he is gonna try to do :D

    He said he would show a short clip that will affect some people, hope i do hehe.

  • If you hope for a result you will get it - auto-suggestion is a powerful thing. He won't be hopnotising the tv audience cos that's illegal.

  • NLP! nuro lingistic proggramming. research it

  • This is how it was done:

    1) the camera we saw was computer controled

    2) advanced motion tracking and video overlay basically 'hid' the left part of the screen whilst someone simply placed the balls.

    3) once balls had been placed the overlay was turned off and were back too 100% live feed

    news at 10 on ITV use simliar technology for the moving background that is chromakeyed must also 'moves' as the camera moves

    this is 100% how it was done

  • It's really not...

  • are you sure?

  • ok wtf im looking ahead and i dont see the show on tv wtf is up with that? help i wanna see it

  • How can me telling YOU my prediction for this weeks draw be prevented by Camalot? 1,2,3,4,5,6.. see I just did it! Nothing was stopping Derren from showing us his predictions for the draw except the YADA YADA YADA waffle, which for some retards that cannot write a simple Youtube comment, without sounding like an uneducated council estate chav - actually believe. Muppet.

  • i hope we have a power cut just as he's going to tell how it was done lmao,but hay im sure we can watch it on you tube tomoz,i know a good trick,when you have friends round on a xfactor final,flick the switch on the main power box just as the winner is about to be announced lmao

  • it doubt it is a camera trick because do you serously think he would ruin his reputation for this is would of been like muhamid ali bringing a shotgun to a boxing match, its cheating and youd be disrespected for doing it. i dont think derren would risk it.

  • it isn't a split screen for the lottery thing, cos it's a wobbling, handheld camera, and if like me you've ever done a split screen, you'll know its absolutely impossible to do a split screen with a handheld camera. so go fuck yourself, he is one of the cleverest men alive.

    MESSAGE ENDS.

  • Well HairofTime you may have done split screen, but you've not used a motion control head with your camera have you? Or a slight underscan of the picture so you can pan and tilt slightly to produce 'wobble' - just sync live and playback together to do the split. I'm a cameraman and specialise in handheld and that was NOT handheld!

  • heard of motion control?

  • just wait til tonight before having a go at him, he's gonna explain it

  • he doing what david blaine wanted to do, but he's doing it well

    which would you rather watch? a man claiming all the aforementioned in this video, or a man wasting time in some box or ice pack? i'd rather watch big brother than blaine

  • i like this guy , he deserves to go so far in life

    a pleasure to watch

    a true magician

  • he's a metalist .. not a magician ....

  • I wonder what his favourite metal is? Probably the shiny ones :)

  • so prog was live yeah 10.30 lottery on wed?

  • i dont know wat to think, in one hand it looks so real but on the other my mind is tellin me it's impossible, suggest we have to wait till friday

  • Come on!!! If it were for real,don`t you think D.B. would have done this at least ounce for himself!!? Dahhhhhh
