derren brown's lottery trick - possible solution

this might not be how he did it, but its how I would have.

Having now seen derren's bullshit explanation I can conclude that since he had no intention of revealing the truth he would have no qualms about using the simplest method available, which is the one I illustrated. The 'misdirection' in this case was to con everyone into sitting through an hour of his drivel in the hope of getting a remotely believable answer.

More media-manipulation than mind-manipulation

This is why he was alone in his studio, no audience.

You fail to see what the maker of this video, mutatedmonty intended. There's no point spending anything over an hour or two on this kind of thing because this is just to show an example LIKE what Derren Brown did. The point he's trying to get across is if this kind of effect is THIS easy with one man in his own home with his own computer, think about what could be possible with a group of paid professionals with industry grade equipment and a huge budget - My point exactly.

I can assure you, such systems DO exist. Live News and Sports coverage use them. We have one at the studio I work in. They aren't fancy of course, and do simple stuff.

The whole "computer generated" camera shake is probably wrong. Another Tuber suggested a motion control rig, which is more likely (pre-programmed to seem like handheld shake). But I think those are likely both wrong and overly complicated. As I have only just seen this Derren special, I haven't figure it out quite yet though.

yep, but still with all that money they messed up the gaff. The stand for the balls should have been designed much better. If that left ball never rose, and they all stayed perfectly still. This wouldn't have been as easy to catch. It still would have been a guess by many, many people.

But the mess up with the placement of the balls just blew the entire thing. To think how expensive all the camera work and everything was, and for the 20 dollar prop to ruin the effect. Ouch!
