derren brown and the lottery!

[NeoNaoNeo]

The reason it really irked me was because I'm a huge fan of Derren, and I think his shows are usually fantastic. But this was very pub-psychic tonight.

Have no idea whats going on here.

From what I can make out,

1. Theres a guy called Derren Brown
2. He said he will predict the lotto
3. Theres some sort of camera trick/hand over mouth trick involved.

Can someone break it down, simple like

Basically he's brainwashed people into watching and discussing his new below-par show.

And into wanting to sleep with him.

He cant even spell Darren properly.

wouldnt it be brilliant if all of a sudden hundreads of people won this satdays lottery.

i mean, there is absolutely nothing stopping me from getting 22 people and doing what he did.

take 20 people.
chip in 5p a week.
do all the maths and stuff
get one ticket with the 6 numbers
see what happens

get all of them and between the 20 of you, you'll win 350k
get 1 ball right and win 50p = 45p profit.

C'mon lads, this ones in the bag. GET IT SORTED AND I'LL STICKY IT

atrottel, tx bill or bruce can do the maths.

Always mate, I'm hoping it catches on.

do you know how much that would cost? More than the entire years budget of hollyoaks. Have you seen a big budget movie where the fx are rubbish? Well they spent 100s of thousands to get that rubbish shot in post.

So you're telling me they spent all that money on a prototype led robotcontrolled cameras, for 30 seconds to a minute of footage to seemlessly impose the numbers on the balls that he also moves and touches? Can't be done.

Unless I'm shown otherwise. Any other camera tricks?[/QUOTE]

Yes, he spent that much money, look at the viewing figures and the media exposure, worth every penny. He probably got the equipment from hong kong on ebay. The guys minted anyway, keeps winning the lottery, the lucky git.

amazing, how did you do that?

There definitely looks to be an overlay on the left side, a static image over the left half of the screen. As he walks over to the balls there is a slight jump (as the overlay is removed). The left hand ball has moved very slightly when he gets to the balls. Certainly camera trickery. Obviously he could not have really done it, but big let down.

 

[SevertonT]

hmm

the fact that the balls arn't showing when the numbers are drawn.. for me is a majour **** up.

why does he need to reveal what he predicted? he should have just shown them to us straight away

 

[heatmeiser]

A week after this aired and people are still discussing it.

Verdict : Success!
