  • Derren's explanation of this episode should have been: "I'm going to reveal the lottery numbers, after the lottery numbers are announced....."

  • i cant see any ball moving with terrible quality like that

  • the ball raised too smoothly. if it had been the screens changing, it would have snapped up. the fact that it smoothly went up makes seem more like the balls were quite tight in the thing so one had to move up

  • Can we just get one thing straight, this isn't a 'magic trick' and he isn't a magician. He's an illusionist and a hypnotist. Completely different to a magician. Which technically don't exist. This is illusion.

  • he's a famous illusionist he makes you think that things are real when there not nearly everyone falls for his tricks he's a clever man and he tells you straight away he's a illusionist

  • was this filmed with a toaster?

  • If you want a PROPER explanation of EXACTLY how it was done check out "Capitan Disillusions" T'AM7 + Brown Lotto Debunk', the explanation starts at part 4 of 5 - watch?v=DODGRfzdfNU

    Ever since this i have went right off Derren Brown and i don't particularly like watching his shows any more.

  • What do you mean 'he started out life as a magician'?

    He started out life as a baby and became a magician. And still is! We all know it's a magic trick. The fun is trying to work out how he did it. If you've worked it out well done. But why do you feel the need to insult him for entertaining us?

  • Was a pointless tv show. Show the winning numbers before the draw and not after! Derren did nothing in this but host it, the "trick" was all down to the people behind the scenes doing the camera trickery.

  • The ball seemed to rise in a smooth action, possibly from being pushed out of place because it was a tight fit (like "badboytobs" said)...which contradicts the idea that it was actually the left side clip cutting back to normal, which would result in a jerky motion.

  • you know, maybe your right, but we wont ever fucking know with that shit quality

  • if you cup water in your hands, then squeeze your hands together, the water will rise out of your hands... see where Im going with this? I honestly think the ball was being pushed out of place because of a tight fit. Hardly impossible to believe.

  • You may not have noticed, but Derren revealed the secret himself... watch my video and see!

  • SMART!

  • i love (like a lot =D) derren brown, but it is impossible to predict the lottery and if you flick between the times on the parts of this that show the balls then you can see it raise. this is not a bad thing (in my opinion) because he is making a entertaining show and just like how he says he is not physic, but in some things he still says that things like spirits r involved, he gives the explanation of a years work and a lot of math XD

  • you sir are a nob

  • are you on drugs or something ?? did you see a dancing chicken aswell ?? ... wow dont watch derren brown while high mate u might see things that you wont beleive...twat

  • fair enough if its a camera trick, but that still doesn't explain how the ball levitates...

    a glitch doesn't do that surely?

  • I love it how people don't get it, I bet if he did a trick on you, everything would chance, Watch him live? It's really incredible. Seriously... The more you don't believe him the more he feels good about how amazing he is.

  • leave him alone, cant u just let him get on with his career ¬!?!?!

  • for fuck sake it was a trick!

    derren brown is amazing because he admits everything he does is a trick, not magic

    why don't you just get a fucking life and accept that!

  • @RiverW70 Yeah!! The fuckitty fuckitty fuck fuck fuckitty fuckitty doo!

  • There's a lot of hate for Derren on here. Did he predict the lottery? Of course not. Not even he would expect people to believe it, a statement evidenced by the fact that he himself has an extremely rational mind.

    However, it was a good trick. A TRICK. The fact that he may or may not have used camera TRICKERY does not take away from the fact that he is an outstanding practitioner of NLP, hypnosis, close-up magic, art...the list goes on.

    I find the hate disturbing.

    Thank you and goodnight.

  • Why do you say don't believe Derren? He's always said it was a trick. HE ALWAYS says it's tricks...

  • Comment removed

  • Why can't I see the left ball move? There's something wrong with me

  • explanation fail. none of what you said was right. the ball WAS already raised but so what if it was and the ball didnt move but so what if it did. just because an extremly light ball that will move to any vibration moved does not mean it was a split screen camera trick. you retard

  • explanation fail

  • Yes he did use some kind of camera trick or he fixed it whatever, but look at the amount of 'Derren Brown EXPOSED' etc. videos there are on youtube now, just take one look at the 'related videos' bar.

    So he is the real winner out of all of this.

  • He admitted how he did it - it was fixed. How did he do that? All the more impressive.

  • It was not fake, he is just a clever guy. I bet you are the sort of guy who thinks that when he puts someone to sleep they fake it. Come on, get real...

  • Why do you have to be such a dick about it? Maybe you're just annoyed cause you can't figure out how he did it. Get over it. you'll never find out

  • Did no one see the method at the end of the Friday show?! He said that it was fixed(the lottery), duh.

  • @cap10moman

    Camera shake can be done in a computer. It makes it harder to spot split screens.

  • I can see the ball move when he says 23. However, I don't understand your explanation of "camera tricks" being involved. First, the ball doesn't just jump up, it slowly rises. This indicates that there is no switch between a recording and the live broadcast. Second, the camera is unsteady/moves throughout the whole broadcast and yet the balls and the stand correspond to the rest of the scene the whole time. Impossible to prerecord w/ that movement and combine footage without noticing...dumb

  • of corse its impossible, an darren does always tell you that they arnt real, you just have to add up all his sneaky litttle comments a puzzle them together throughout his shows.. he is a proffesional bull shit artist,, he just understands the logic of peoples thinking patterns an subconcious more then most,,, just 1 clever mother fk..

  • And now for my next trick... I will invest in a tripod.

  • geez hold the f'in camera still.... how can we see it rise, if you're having your own technical glitches

  • you fuckin idiot of course its a trick he said it at the end of the show u fuckin fag!

  • bugt the ball is raised to begin with, you can see the slight raise, you are an idiot, it isn't a split screen.

  • it not that derren lied .when you watch the show derren says(or words to this effect0"im going to predict the lottery ,and all im going to use is this camera here and another camera at the back" this is what derren does ,then he bullshits the audience ,it is actually quite clever how the brain can be trivked so easily

  • Derren didn't hide it at all he even sneakily explained it during his intro already, by saying and when you are watching this projection... on the side... of a building or somewhere than welcome too. He does this with several effects of his. it cracks me up at times.

  • @derrenexposed , Hey man, You seem to be going on the right path here, sadly 'YOU CANT PROVE IT AT ALL'. Im not calling you a liar, Im saying you have a keen thinkers mind like Cyriak. But you cant say "Oh hello Channel 4 entertainment, can you please remove derren brown for lieing to the British nation about using artificial cameras and shit.". My suggestion, that, Derron did it, he PREDICTED it, he GOT it, I like the whole THIS THIS THIS PREDICT thing, Keep it up.... I want to see more,

  • @csyicker Not just camer Mods.

  • "He makes money from fooling us!" What? Your mind is just not up to Par that is why you might believe he is fooling us for money, but in REALITY he is use people for any purpose he Wishes to claim...

  • You say the ball isn't raised before the numbers are turned... but they are...

  • All lottery predictions are bogus. If you are so good at predicting the lottery, prove it by buying and showing the actual ticket.

  • @RyanHowardPhils He wasn't allowed to buy a ticket

  • @hello1182 He most likely just made that up and you believed him

  • @Rogerio34567 ...

  • @hello1182 Uhh? why? Anyone can buy a lottery ticket.

  • @RyanHowardPhils because he was banned from doing it by the lotto

  • Derren brown is amazing but this particular trick was a let down, he is so much better than this trick

  • He did not perform it infront of an audience I have no idea why so many of you think that he even tells you in the show he is alone with just the camera men.

  • wtf? did u film dis with a calculator?

  • It is raised, the thing is, when you turn something round, it ends up on the other side and also, in this video, you see nothing moving.

    Maybe HD is in order, but get your left and right correct first then start trying to fail a Magician.

    It is a trick! No need to explain.

  • @ProjectxC0 i have to agree with you all i see if the film maker moving the camera back and forth!

  • Again physically impossible for a human bean to predict number its all luck nice split screen derren .

  • i think ur thinking this through a bit tooooooooo much...... or did derren brown just want you to think that it was a splt screen xD lmao

  • this explanation is a fail the ball does not move and its in front of an audience lay of the smack m8

    obviously theres some trick involved but camera tricks wouldn't intrest derren

  • Dude the ball doesn't move at all and he also done this in front of a live audience you cant use camera tricks on a live audience

  • dude what have you ben smoking

  • That's not how he does it. Nice try!

  • @davies957 it actualy is this video doesnt realy explain much but it moves becouse its too cuts.

  • He performed that in front of a live audiance :P

  • What Derren Brown says is that he's a magician with no psychic powers.

  • @penguinworm Derren Brown has NEVER, EVER said he was a magician. He says he uses MAGIC, suggestion, psychology, misdirection and showmanship. But that doesn't mean that he is a magician. He does and always has classed himself as a mentalist, never amagician.

  • @SpackAct I really don't care.

  • @SpackAct one who performs magic is a magician. HURR DURR.

  • @hamtamnam yh but hes not a magician. HURR DURR. It's not magic. HURR DURR. It's misdirection. HURR DURR. Fuck off

  • @SpackAct you're stupid and i'd like it if you were dead. Of course it's motherfucking magic you tool. "HURR ITS MISDIRECTION", It's the same thing you choad monkey

  • soo the balls were too big for the continer, and one minorly raised by 2 mm's... wow

  • Sorry let me rephrase that first part. He IS using a force or trick but it is not done like you suggest.

  • Derren does use some illusion in his shows but this was not one of those times. He usually uses NLP and hypnosis for forces and "mind control" I know this as a master hypnotist.

  • I don't get why people blame Derren for fooling us. He's not claiming he can do such things, and he says he's doing tricks. For example, Uri Geller claims he really is a mentalist. He also is disliked by other mentalists. It's all about the show, it is their work. What some people are commenting here, is like saying "dude, Iron maiden is using a guitar to get that sound!"

  • this is crap i would rather fuck myself

  • So the ball moves? Lots of people predict the lottery everyday... What's so special about this guy predicting it?

  • Well done ProjectxC0

    I totally agree with you!!!

  • the fact he put them in numerical order isn''t amasing... he guessed the numbers and put them in order as he saw them....

  • Look , you are morons, nobody can predict the lottery,as no one can predict randomness, sure, the machine might favor a number if you look at 20 years of history, but you can interpret that all the way, there is no formula for predicting the lottery, nor is anybody going to rig the lottery, it's a split-screen trick, as shown here, and the splitcreen effect isn't even that tricky to do, I don't get why you'd prefer the ,rigging the lottery'' explanation after the more logical, easier one

  • @obidan2 This. It's insane people believe he predicted the lottery! It's impossible! It's an obvious trick.

  • I'm always amused when someone says that they would be more impressed if he had shown the numbers before they were announced. Don't they understand that in order to do this he would have to rig the lottery from the inside (a serious crime), and then by showing the numbers before they were announced he would thereby be proving his guilt? So of course he's not going to do this--not if he values his freedom!

  • DUHHHH! What's the point of this video. Except to score some views off someone elses name?

  • he prdicted

    after the lottery

    i am going to say 5 numbers

    2 6 8 2 4

    now predict what the numbers are

  • Wait, you mean Derren is actually just a MAGICIAN using misdirection to TRICK the audience?! You have just blown my mind good sir.

  • ITS AN ILLUSION! jesus this it what he does, its amazing cos it make us think how? thats the point of it! and hes bloody good at it n'all

  • this is not right to judge Derren brown .what ever he did is not camera trick .he is not cheap person to do camera trick .Open your eyes people, why his explication video been Block from youtube .I tried to get that video when he explained that how he did it ,but been block every where ,why ? are you still thinking camera ?

  • I don't understand why this video has got so poor ratings when another one exposing this trick with the exact same theory has at least 4,5 out of stars

  • Errr - I suspect 'jazzlikesyoochoob' was being a touch ironic? You know - as in "joking"? I thought it was funny :0)

  • OK - so however he did it, it was a trick. What a surprise! He's an illusionist, and he makes no secret of that. This COULD have been camera tricks, but I like his final scenario - the one where he rigged the lottery. The only problem with that idea, though, is that at the start of the program he clearly said that he was doing "nothing illegal". Well, rigging the lottery in favour of one set of numbers is clearly illegal, as it denies anybody without those numbers any chance of winning.

  • u only win the lottery if u r lucky that's what i belive there's no fuckin way u find out the numbers before the show beggins  omg do u rlly belive him?

  • If you understand Derren then you know this event was faked and he never predicted them.

    The purpose was not to predict the lottery, it was to test the nation fooling them into believing that a man 'could' predict the lottery numbers.

    It is about skeptisism.

    People that 'want' to believe he genuinely figured it out argue that he 'can' predict them, but logical rational people know it is a 1/14m chance for every guess.

    There is no system.

    He is testing the perception of the nation.

  • Yes he most likely used a camera trick.

    After all no audience was present witnessing it and no pre-recorded display of his prediction has been shown.

    The explaination show revealed nothing other than standard statistical anecdotes and tricks, mixed with mystical nonsense such as automatic writing.

    It was all a smoke screen to support that he 'did' predict the numbers in the minds of those 'willing' to be fooled without necessary evidence -

    I.E. Proof of the predicted numbers.

  • well said

  • its impossible 2 tell from because ur camera work is so unsteady

  • All of you are retarded, the actual explanation was the one when he rigged the machine, but he cannot say he did that for a completely understandable legal reason. So, why not use an explanation like the "automatic writing" with the "wisdom of crowds" as a cover by explaining what it was as if they were true.

  • Have you considered that technology is to blame - by the time the image reaches you one ball may appear slightly higher but to my mind it is because a white ball 6x6 pixels (I didn't count) may shift a single pixel? Just a thought; which is something you seem to lack.

  • it dont even move anyway you goon

  • uh hello? it's up higher cos he's trying to fit 6 ping pong balls WITH NUMBERS ON THEM into a small space not cos it has been moved! i mean, if they did move them, switch them, don't you think they would ALL be in a different position? Duh!

  • ignor my last comment it was just where i paused it BUT if you remember he did this L-I-V-E infront of an aduance wacthing him! -sorry for spelling-

  • lol dude its higher up cuz of the angle lol

  • he's a physic not a magician

    little bit of a difference

  • Yeah sure someone switched the balls off camera there aint no one that could get the old ones off, and as the numbers come up find the corresponding ball put them in numerical order and have them face forward oh and then put the stand in the exact place at the exact angle. if it was a camera trick then the stand wud be slightly to the left or not quite right. get a life and stop trying to prove others wrong jst cus u cnt do urself

  • much of the events you assume had to happen if it were a camera trick, didn't.

    1) why do u assume the stand moved at any stage before derren moved it?

    2) there was PLENTY of time to insert the balls as drawn, then re-arrange them numerically before derren moves over to them.

    3) its part of the camera trick that u dont see someone changing them, that part of the video feed is frozen until derren moves over to it.

    I have a slightly different theory but either way, the trick is easy with cam tricks

  • @i9a1n14 mate no one can do it. it is impossible.

  • extremely fast change though i bet the person had lightning hands

  • this fake faggot couldn't predict the weather

  • jealousy?

  • i think so

  • I don't like all the hate that goes to Derren Brown. He used an ingenious camera trick, exposed which of our neighbours are retards, and it was very entertaining when i was struck for ideas on how he did it.

    FFS, everyone contributes to society in one way or another, and if millions of people are being entertained by Derren Brown, he's a hell of a lot more valuable to society than you haters. He doesn't get money from fooling us -.- He gets money from producers.

  • lol "exposed which of our neighbours are retards"

  • dude he is an ILLUSIONIST.... this is as real as magic gets. btw there is no santa

  • How the hell are you supposed to see it if the camera is shaking all over the place?

  • fcuking liar that guy is :P

  • Very cleverly figured out. Good job and excellent video post.

  • which muppet believed he could predict the lottery do you not think he would win the lottery every week if he could predict it u people believe everything ill give you a tip dont believe anything ! until you know the truth

  • Wow, i saw it.

    but i had to rewind it a couple

    of times, you dont put it in a very

    good order, but very good!

  • why can´t I see it!!!

  • LOL opening your eyes might help

  • What the fuck, that does not make any sense at all. If it was a camera trick, then it would of course pre-recorded footage. If it was a camera trick, then the ball wouldn't have been raised.

  • Comment removed

  • Yeah, he was a magician. So what? Does that mean he uses camera tricks? No, magicians don't use camera tricks. (Bar Criss Angel).

    Your theory would make more sense if you said "Derren started his life as a video-editor".

  • lol

  • Nice analysis!

  • I wonder wether derrenexposed is telling us this so that we believe it, even though the ball doesn't actually move - when i first saw it i didn't notice anything, it was only after he said that i "saw" it.

  • Maybe if you held the bloody camera still, we'd be able to notice it.

  • good one !!

  • Personally i think you're right... and if he was that good he would reveal a couple mins before because you can't buy a ticket just before the draw anyway!!! So its poop...

  • this is shit footage to prove its a camera trick. why not use proper footage instead of your bullshit camera phone

  • Nah that's not it. The camera was moving all the time. It would have been nearly impossible to pull off a spit screen live, without a completely static camera!

  • The camera was most likely stationary while the "handheld" effect was likely applied to throw people off the scent. I'm a huge fan of Derren Brown, and yes, it was a camera trick.

  • Yes but if you watch the entire thing,. The camera follows Deren in from outside the studio, you can see the camera guy when the show another angle, hand holding the camera!

  • Well it probably was a camera trick but I want to know how he got the correct numbers on his card?

  • at the end of the day no matter how it was done, it was an illusion. he is, after all an illusionist. so shut up whining and enjoy.

  • All I see is you moving the camera back and forth buddy.

  • Well done on wasting your time with such flare

  • he revealed that was what he did.

  • derren brown makes it very clear that he isnt psychic,he dsnt beleive in psychics,if u believe that he believes he is psychihc ur an idiot,calling him a scammer and a fraud is retarded because we all know he uses mind tricks and shit

  • Very well spotted! Pretty obvious this could never have been real. He'd be a multi-millionaire otherwise! If it was down to maths & averaging, do you not think maths geniuses would have worked it out by now?! He has always said 'im an illusionist, you can choose to believe'. The explanation show (obtaining the average No.s with the group was filmed at christmas (xmas lights are seen in the original footage not aired on C4). So yeah, it's all fake! But who'd be silly enough to believe it anyway!

  • It doesn't move it's just the filming of the camera.

    People just want it to be faked, cause they can't believe.

    I'm not saying that Derren Brown doesn't use a lot of illusions, but I genuinely don't believe this one was an illusion.

  • And that's why 15-year-olds can't vote, ladies and gentlemen.

  • i know a way you can move that ball.

    up your fucking arse.

  • you're a complete dick head. Instead of trying to think of ways that he would have "fooled" us all why don't you just enjoy it. And btw the ball doesn't move. Retard.

    And another thing, i'm just wondering how long it took you to make all this bullshit? nice waste of a few hours, instead of going out and trying to get laid for the first time :)

    love youuuuuu ;)

  • I love Derren he's quality, didnt know how he did this, but it does move and hes right

  • Just think about it, you are probably seeing it move because you want to see it move. If you want something bad enough you will see what ever you want. That ball doesn't move get over it

  • Why do people bother watching Derren if they don't like him. Derren is the best at what he does.

    However Derren does admit everything he does is a trick but I think he is too complex and clever for most you guys to work out what he has done. I mean laser lol how pathetic and this bullshit about the camera mirror trick. Thats even worse, the ball doesn't move not the slightest bit and loads of people have said the same.

  • Well, Derren always says he is honest about his dishonesty so I really don't get any issue people have with him when calling him a fraud or whatever. He never claims that everything he offers as an explanation is real. Still pretty cool whatever it is he does.

  • I knew that it wasnt real.How can u predict the lottory its all luck

  • my reason 4 loosin so much respect 4 the cunt, is he said we can all try this at home! in the possible ways as he shown on the friday nyt show! sum ppl wudda of gt groups 2gever & tried his fukin shitt fake techniques & then wudda lost their moneys! shudn publish fings lyk this on the tele!

  • damn u thick mover fukas! u must b blind or just playin thick natt 2 c this! the left ball raises at 1.17 or 1.18 on the vid! b4 that u can c all balls r level! obviously wen the lotto numbers were revealed, they carried on playin the 1st screen & stopped the 2nd screen 2 re-order the balls in the correct order & then play agen as 1 footage! lmfao if that mover fukin crew member wudn of cocked up by replacin that ball we wudda all believed this crap! iv lost big respect 4 the twat lol!

  • people..... i cant belive u guys actually thought he'd TELL you how he predicted the lotto. i mean he wudnt BE a good magician if he told everyone his secrets. having said that the ball ddnt move.

  • Why puzzles me about this is that the ball moves gradually upwards, not in an instant as you would expect it to if the picture was being replaced with a live feed. Even if this was faded it still wouldn't move gradually up.

  • Maybe they faded into the other picture incase there were any slight changes?

  • It might be e-paper. watch?v=Z16J2zRAbgc

  • yes i'm tyred telling people how stupid they really are in believing he actually guessed the numbers but this video is cool all you have to do to see what the video is saying is to... WATCH closely at the TOP of the ball on the lef before he turns them around

  • yeah, it was in the same place the whole time

  • go to specsavers

  • Umm... the ball didnt move.

  • go to specsavers

  • this theory is the most plausible, i can't believe all that working out the averages because there is no some in the world that can conjure up pure chance.

  • I want it to be true so in his defense it might be the balls pushing against each other. They are quite squashed

  • anyway i would believe in real prediction only if he cashed in the money; later he could give them away for charity for example; no money means its a trick

  • bullshit

  • no that's a good idea....

    however hes band from entering competions.. couldnt he just get someone else to do it for him

  • i dont see any difference

  • no but if he gets a bad reputation they won't pay him anymore, it is in his best interests to maintain a good reputation.

  • why are you people getting so worked up about a show on telly.

    it's only a bit of entertainment , not to be taken seriously...

    we all know how he did it .. get a life

  • he didnt split screen

  • I used to like DB, but his new series is a joke.
