That was brilliant, I was pissing myself.
I love it when Derren Brown opens the door and stands there and the guy starts shooting him. :lol:

I've seen this one before, and I'm not convinced at all.

I'm pretty sure that the guy knew what was happening and was playing along.

the thing about Derren Brown is that he does not pretend to believe what is going on is real - his work is basically an attempt to show how easy it is to convince an audience that something completely fabricated is real.

Its called misdirection. What the eyes see and the ears hear, the mind tends to believe. Its the key to most card tricks.

His Lottery stunt was impressive.
I haven't been following events since, did he really reveal how he did it?

It was a load of rubbish, he basically got 24 people to write down 6 numbers and used the average.

Remember, he doesn't claim to be anything other than a trickster and entertainer. All the tension building acting leading up to him revealing his numbers was all part of the act.

So everyone is still wondering how he did it?
Mission accomplished.

And there was me thinking I was going to win the lottery...!!! :D

He got the TV ratings to be fair, just thought that there would have been more to it. He is a brilliant entertainer, and some of the stuff he does is a total mind f**k, expected more! :cry:

That's the magic of magic. We all know it's not really magic but can't figure out how it's done.
