Derren Brown - The Events (Channel 4).

11 Sep 2009

Dear All,
Please watch this...

It's the advert for Derren's Brown new series on Channel 4.
What's this about Big Business &...
Red & Black along with Manchester United :shock:
The above is mentioned in the advert confused

:
Can you see any other hidden messages within the advert :?:
I hope that this method of knowing the lottery is
clever & can be understood rather than some complex
Mathematical Formula :?:
Still, if he can predict something that's been told is 14million - 1 then I salute Mr. Brown.
Let's watch at 9pm on Friday 11th September on Channel 4 (U.K).
Am sure if you're non-U.K, it will be on via YouTube or the Channel4 Website.

I would have been more impressed if he'd showed his predicted numbers before they were drawn, rather than after. :P

What a pile of sh*te!!!
So firstly, HE didn't 'predict' anything..
But.. the best part is that 'greed & profit' will prevent his theory from working.. how convenient!! :doh:

I check the numbers every wednesday and saturday and find myself invariably correct with my predictions.
Well... they're not exactly MY predictions... I find scrawled roman numerals on my wall in faeces... it took some years before I saw the corrolation twixt the pungent murals and the bonus ball busting, fortune making lottery.
Sadly, the voices instruct me never to act upon the information.

What an absolute pile of crap that was.
I used to think he had some integrity - but there's a whole world of difference between (a)leaving us guessing, as he's done in the past and (b)encouraging a huge audience to tune in, gaining massive advertising revenue and viewing figures for channel 4, for by saying you are going to actually reveal how it was done, and then giving us that pile of crap.
mad

Bring back Jonathan Creek - he'd have sussed it straight away.

It's all fake - trickery. I know some people like seeing that sort of thing. But what I always want to see is HOW it's done.
I know they will never show that so I don't watch the programmes. I certainly wouldn't dignify the display by pretending to believe in it. Especially nowadays when there is no such thing as sleight of hand (a traditional entertainment requiring skill and practice) on TV 'magic' shows - it's all CGI and clever editing. And if it isn't - how can you be sure?
As for mediums telling people "uncle Albert is very proud of you" don't get me started.
Any self respecting spirit wouldn't be seen dead participating in such cruel torment to grieving relatives. (No pun intended)

I was really looking forward to the show & the main thing that got me mad

was...
1. He was going on the theme that if people come together & don't think of themsleves / greed then amazing things can occur.
This in-line with Karma or String Theory or E.S.P. So it was getting very interesting until...
the whole rubbish with the Knife & the cups.
2. All I was saying was please Mr. Brown get on with the bloody thing. He does & shows it works in a group method but then fails to explain how this actual group method works? Also should it be classifed as E.S.P confused

: :?
What got me going was the end.. well I could have rigged the Lotto Machine & got into the Top Secret H.Q.. I didn't but...
What was all that about :?: All I know is that it really backfired from the amount of people on my Facebook saying it was a let-down.

I totally agree, I was looking forward to the other "events" in the series, but I definitely won't be bothering after that.

first of all....remember he is a magician what he does is trickery. He didn't predict lottery numbers.... if he could really do it....sticking a pound on the double rollover would mean he would not need to work again.
The thing is how did he do it !! Somehow he managed to get the numbers printed onto his balls.......basicaly wih 30 seconds on the balls being called.
Lets see what develops.
