Derren Brown - balls!

close up stabilized image showing the mistake revealing how the lottery trick was done. I should explain that what this appears to show is that Derren used a motion control camera to repeat the shaking on both the pre-recorded shot of the balls on the left and the supposedly hand held camera shooting live. See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rqAt2akPHJ8 for a clearer explanation of this.

people are figuring it out, think about it, post videos on yourube, watch videos on youtube

Grabbing your attention is all that it's about in the end

[tearecords]

You are completely right, we are all willingly taking part in the publicity advertising machine.

Brown's 'explanation' on Friday was an insult to a person of normal intelligence. 'Deep maths' indeed! My arse!

[LurkingCrassZero]

It moved slowy because the transition was some kind of morph rather than a quck and sudden switch over, probably to eliminate any slight discrepancies that may occur and would have been more obvious in a qiuick and sudden switch over. Even if the ball anomaly wasn't spotted, the claim that you cannot state your 'prediction' for the lottery numbers before the official numbers is total bollocks.

[renducat]

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

[psybinetic]

I wonder which member of Brown's close-knit entourage got sacked for that gaff?

[auzivot]

you're the idiot one.. i'm saying if he predicted the numbers before the show, he wouldn't need to look at the screen so much before writing them down on paper.. after the draw he would already know he was right and therefore would be able to write them on the paper without looking at the screen so much..

i thank you, now i am even more synical than i once was, but my knowledge of possible (or impossible as the case may be) theories has now increased.

[No1SFCAndy]

i knew school was a joke all that rubbish science thank for truly opening my eyes

[jpixels]

possible but the speed in which the ball realigns, around 3 seconds is to fast to be such a reaction
