How to Take Down a Casino, Event 4 - The Events, Derren Brown - Channel 4

Brown attempted to beat the odds at roulette by calculating the winning number based on the speed and trajectory of the ball and wheel. Using £5,000 of a member of the public's money, which he acquired by hypnotising them in the street, Brown aimed to win £175,000 for them. Filming with hidden cameras at a secret location in mainland Europe, Brown in fact made an incorrect prediction, betting on black 8 while the winning number was the adjacent red 30. The show ended on this anticlimax, with the accomplice informed that he would be repaid the £5,000. A stage hand was visible at the end of the show waiting with a large cheque worth £180,000, the amount the accomplice would have received if Brown's prediction had been accurate.

Brown said on his blog hours later that he was "still reeling from tonight's escapade", and in a self-deprecating YouTube video the next week (delivered as an impersonation of Stewie Griffin) Brown remarked that he had "fucked it up" and called it an "epic fail".

  • Damn, thats too bad.

    Hes got mad skill though to be able to do all that that quickly and efficiently, I say he was close enough.

  • What?&Why?

  • Dude, your channel is by far one of the best channels I've come across on youtube. Right at the top with Spacerip. Thanks!

  • Yeah I highly doubt he hypnotized people and got money out of them.

  • @Thinkdeep420

    why?

  • I am skeptical of Darren's ability to hypnotize people.

  • Love the look on Ben's face at 45.46

  • @18:00 is that tim westwood, the DJ?

  • Wow, he was damn close, though.

  • @AtheistsAreSkeptics wow... so UK channel 4 bankrolled this. Not that I believe the Ben guy actually ever put a cent up of his own money in this unlikely endeavour. And how the hell did "undercover" Derren ever obtain overhead casino footage?! and why was his "hidden cam" the size of a small erection in this day and age of practically invisible camers that have WAY better res and coulour than his piece of 60's james bond kit?! I think even the fake "one off" result was a set up. thats derrens MO
