How could it be Sky+ if it was on BBC 1 at the same time?

She's talking about derrens show, not the results show. It was streamed across every channel 4 channel, they're available on sky+

Using Sky+, I still have no fucking clue what she's on about. Guys, we should just accept the fact that Derren Brown is magic, and should not be fucked with. I welcome our new gay overlord.

Ha, I can't wait till Friday to see how the sneaky bugger did it.

Wow he predicted the lotto numbers, amazing

sarcasm

Mathematicians in the 90s figured out that you can use a complex mathematical equation to simplify the lottery numbers down to a 1/10 chance of winning.

I'd love to see a link. It's not possible bro.

Reread those Tweets, and it made kind of sense. She used Sky+ to go almost frame-by-frame, picking out a small detail which could be down to, I dunno, gravity and friction.

our eyes can see anything if we convince ourselves it's there... she could be looking WAY too much into it.

Guys Youtube have it covered don't worry. Here are some brightspark theories.

I like the snowflake one best. It's absolute genius.

Be thankful that he isn't David Blaine, the lord of assholes. Derren is probably just a satanic demon, nothing to worry about.

wait, what?

LOL WAT?

He had a pen in his mouth, and he wrote the numbers as they came up on his individual fingers, then picked up the balls (which are computerised) and put one finger behind each. Inside the computerised LCD balls was an OCR scanner which transcribed his primative handwriting into characters and projected them on the side of the ball.

Why didn't you just not quote that bit?

Truly.

There's no way he used lasers in my opinion. That's pathetically lame for his standards.

as i was conjoining your brightspark theory with the youtube ones

He either filmed the "prediction" after the lottery actually took place, or he made a backdoor deal with the lottery company.

Those are the only two options. None of this bullshit about planning it for a year. That's all bullshit!

Except the prediction, and the lottery, were broadcast live.

or he made a backdoor deal with the lottery company.

And the BBC would never help someone from channel 4 get publicity. They'd much rather he fuck up on live TV.

What part of they were both live didn't you get?

i was seriously expecting BBC to fuck channel 4 over and move the lottery times, but he said they signed a deal to show it

It's not a prediction if you show it after the event. I guess he is going to show some bullshit explanation for it (like always).

legally, he can't show the lottery numbers before the BBC do it, what part of that doesn't make sense?

He's not arrogant, you fat, racist cow.

He appeared nervous, right? So if he knew his numbers were going to be right he wouldn't be nervous. The "can't show before bbc" reason is complete bs and because he made no focus on it we just assume it's legit when in fact it isn't. They can show the balls first, yes, but if you're predicting - which is what he claimed to be doing - you can make them available all you want. So he had every right to make his "prediction" public.

Here you go.

You're welcome.

Link to the Daily Mail's Predictions of how he did it with an embedded Youtube video comparing BBC1 and Channel4 side to side. (Actually More4, but it was the same feed.)
