it couldn't have been camera trickery, as it was live and the camera was shaking, as far as I know, you cant have a perfect alignment of a split screen with those factors

[andrewgeeuk]

The camera shaking was probably done by a computerised-motorised tripod, and there was software that took the camera shake into account.

I now dislike Derren Brown. After that hour show this evening. That was an hour of stuff that doesn't relate to predicting the lottery. Were they actors, or was he fooling them? I reckon this evenings show may be important for a future "Event".

I want my hour back

lol the last episode i saw was back in 2006,i always thought it was cancelled xP

Why is it, between 1:05 and 1:08 you can see that the camera man is not moving but when it switches back to his view the angle is different from before?

Was the intro up until 1:08 pre-taped in order to give the illusion of a cameraman?

Were they actually using a VistaGlide camera and simultaneously covering the left half of the shot with footage previously shot with the same camera movements?

Why does Derren stop at 6:10 even after the TV is off? Is it to make sure the overlay is gone?

If you stare at the left side of the screen, in particular the wall, and do this from the beginning of when the lottery numbers are read out, and keep staring until derren brown has written down the numbers on his card, you might notice something

[MafiiaXxX]

he wrote it at same time as lotty to show it was same -_- dats the whole point of have the card nothin amzing about it dats logic  if he didnt dat means people will have to memorise it in there head

[MafiiaXxX]

his arm didnt even move much

[axiomtech]

you weren't there... are you scared?

[CliveFromEngland]

if you look at the way he writes the number 11 on the card he clearly writes 2 straight vertical lines.But when he turns the card round one of the digits has a line at the top of it. If he knew the numbers before hand why did he have to write thenm down after?He should have written them on the card before.Also,the number 39 ball is clearly not the same ball as in the first 6 balls,as it will not go down and lie flat with the rest of them. They were all level at the start of the con.

[CliveFromEngland]

Just a thought...if he had shown the 6 numbers before the lottery and got them all right he could not have claimed to have picked them as the 24 people in the room picked them :)

[CliveFromEngland]

It was noticed by many people that he did not actually show the 24 peoples' chosen numbers to them beforehand.

One of the oldest tricks ever.... a variation of "see nothing and now this"...
