That Derren Brown Casino Thing

[Ejit]

Funniest thing ever, but it's so hard to work out what's going on with him - was it deliberate?

[deckheadtottie]

I was pretty pissed off at it initially because it was obvious Derren was in the first truck the "contestant" passed. However, after he said "ooo, one off" I just burst out laughing and respected the whole trick.

It was a great way to end it.

If that guy in the truck really wasn't in on the whole thing then you can imagine he was pretty gutted to see his £5k lost on a bet.

I don't think they should have shown the footage of the film crew member saying "Don't worry. We will get your £5000 back." I got a slight kick out of believing Darren Brown screwed up and made a guy lose his money.

Can someone give me a youtube link or something to what you guys are talking about?

He failed on purpose so that people will think that his other tricks are legitimate.

eh, there's more to it. This can't be the end of the series otherwise his career is over, there has to be something else that we'll get, like, in a week he'll go "actually the trick was that now all the public hate me lmao".

I don't know about this Derren Brown thing, but I recall seeing a video where Derren Brown played a trick on someone where they thought they were in a zombie game in real life (could it be because of the new "Zombieland" movie?). I think that might've taken place in a casino, so is that what you're talking about?

I realise that. I don't he would make the program so that it ended straight after the big event.

He took a member of publics' 5k and bet it in roulette, and got it wrong by one.

Sorry but as you well know Youtube is down atm. When it's up search "derren brown the events casino".

I loled when I switched on to see what had happened and the guy was just smiling, and then the man said "don't worry, we will get your £5000 back."

Derren says it to the guy over the microphone before that anyway.

[wreckages]

one number off is still damn impressive.

Really? I can't remember that part, but I'll take your workd for it. Still, it was nice to see him fail even if he was only one number off.
