Derren Brown - the Lottery Prediction Event revealed how he did it full breakdown

How I think that Darren did the "trick" , no doubt we will know on Friday his version of events or will we but this simple technique can be done at home on a cheap PC even with a green £5.00 shower curtain , cheap PCs and free software so of course it can be done live with 2 expensive cameras .
What will he sat Friday of course he always says its not a magic trick as he doesnt agree with joining the magic circle as he is not "a conjurer"

you put the green screen on infront of a computer, how can you add the green screen live on a cam corder? please explain would like to try it

[catcha2007]

@LookItsEdd

cloth requires 2 cameras live that is old hat the green screen for past few years live is added by a lens ring and leds most weather reports are done that way now and this is what I personally use

search reflectomedia MicroLite in gogle but dont expect to get it cheap as a bit of old style cloth

[boundarykid]

i wish i never watched this.

I liked the thought of him being mysterious.

Why does there always have to be one person that explains it

Cant you just enjoy it?

[catcha2007]

well you can still believe its deep maths if you like , but dont you think that it was strange that on the night Darren wouldnt even show his "team of 24 special maths brains" the nubers hed sorted from their predictions.

BBc wouldnt let him show numbers , lol , anyone is free to show the balls that they think will win a law against that does not exist., lol

No win this was a mega fail all the way , I really dont know what he was thinking he used to be believable before did this basic trick

[catcha2007]

There is an update on my channel now showing a solution to the clue left by Darren on Friday and showing an ealier camera trick reveal from the advert clues

[balurker]

To all those who are disappointed that this trick involved special effects, does it not impress you at all that he pulled this off LIVE? This sort of special visual effect is easy to accomplish in post-production, but LIVE TV, by definition, doesn't have a post production. How is the transition accomplished between being shot with a real hand-held camera and then with a fixed camera in the exact same position with pre-programmed movements to emulate a hand-held camera?

[balurker]

I'm of the opinion that the entire opening bit was prerecorded. That is, it was shot earlier with a real handheld camera. We then cut to another prerecorded angle, a long shot with the hand held cameraman visible in the shot. Then another fixed camera with preprogrammed jiggles was brought in to replace the handheld camera.

It's only truly live after :10. Note Derren waving his hands ostentatiously to really "sell" the idea that this is all happening in real time.

[darthkarr]

its called * he had a microhpne in his ear and listened as they were read out*

[spikeyuk2006]

See this is not true what you all say about Darren Brown being all fake and all. You all miss the main fact, that the camera looking at Darren Brown was indeed not still. So it would of taken a lot of skill and editing to keep the other picture still with the camera. The other camera at the back which we did not see much of was there to record the event also so that there was no cheating. The green screen idea is Bogus considering that the show was aired Live...

[tabbycreatedmagic]

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

[Tabbyization]

DARREN is not his name. Its DERREN.

[SuperRichi1A]

Did anyone see Derran Brown night recently? In it, Derran referred to this as "the biggest mistake of his career", but he also made sure to say that it was not a camera trick. On that Friday, the mothod he gave was a load of rubbish, yes. I don't think any camera trickery was involved. There was always going to be speculation about that, but Derrens track record was as cleen as could be.

Personally, I don't think he predicted it, but I think he did had a proper mehtod.

[RuthW1000]

This sort of thing is way to risky to do on live television. One slip up could have ruined Derren Brown's television career. I'm not surprised that they took extra measures to make sure nothing could go wrong.

[Sozlled]

If he did it the way he said he did it why didn't he reveal the balls one by one?

[Sozlled]

Captain Disillusion showed exactly how it was done and you were right about it being camera tricks.

You can see exactly how it was done here watch?v=DODGRfzdfNU

Note at the end of the show where he supposedly revealed how it was done he said it's just a trick, a camera trick.

[sramanik]

@balurker Crazy as it may sound, i think that might well be the key. My immediate first intuition was that there was something off with the waving to the second camera (or more specifically with the cut back) - it may well be that the camera is NOT hand held from that point on but a pre-programmed computer-operated "shaky" camera. W/ a pre-recorded beginning... The shaking later on doesn't look human, if you are able to dig these kind of subtleties.

[1123baker]

i hate this prick hes just fake fake fake fake an i watched that hero thing an you could tell that was fake as well

[Retrotruffle]

It is certainly a clever computer/camera trick, but it is worth mentioning that the entire production team would have had to have been involved to pull this off.. Remember that the next time you watch one of his shows.

[mtdeezy]

why am i the only one that isnt seeing the ball move? this is the third video ive watched

[S0undBite]

did he buy a ticket? lol

[DairyFreshSkateTeam]

Well i don't know about you lot but i believe EVERYTHING derren does. i think he would fake nothing, ever. but does anyone know a video that shows him predicting the lottery anywhere on the internet that is reasonably good quality and stuff?

[sunnyside4lyf]

well dne m8 but derren is good none the less

[LewisDre4m]

2#

With regaurds to this video. 100% correct solution to how it could have been done. This was my first thoughts as well. I could do this from home with my equipment so I'm sure the bbc could.

[LewisDre4m]

1# The whole thing was pathetic. He didn't "predict" anything. If he had done he would have revealed the numbers BEFORE it was announced not AFTER. That crap about only the BBC can read the numbers first. There is no law about predicting 6 numbers on tv before the BBC. There were 100's of ways it could have been done from the moment he told us he was "predicting" the numbers AFTER the draw which is why I lost interest and just thought what a load of bollocks.

[Rita50]

Could you predict numbers just for me please?

[pringlelfc]

If it was real he could have played and given the money to charity.

[GoWLegendDale]

One day he will hypnotize the world via tv. :L I havnt lost any respect for him that stick to your sofa thing was amazing

[popnoodlesvideo]

This is exactly what I thought. His psychic people explanation was ridiculous and against everything he's ever said. Same with the alleged attractive paper in the 3rd episode. I sincerely hope there's a payoff in the final show where he reveals he's been winding the public up.

[54321KABOOMAGE]

i agree cos then he wud b rich and if he says now that he didnt do it for the money he cud of burned it

[54321KABOOMAGE]

yes it is possible that he used math, but unlikely. but i think that it was a clever camera trick that was well managed but im not saying that it definaitly is a camera trick
