Derren reveals info about the other shows (http://entertainment.stv.tv/film/121221-derren-browns-luck-of-the-draw/)

As a big fan of Derren's I'm really excited for this. The advert is brilliant and I see it nearly all the time on C4. I think this series could be one of his best. :thumbs:

[Zac]

I'm really excited for this! Can't wait to see what happens with the lottery numbers, it will be amazing if he gets all six numbers correct. I shall be glued to the TV and I think this is gonna be his best series too!

[Deirdre]

I can't wait for this either. I can't wait for the part where the viewers participate! Hope it works! :hello:

[Beastie]

Yeah I love Derren Brown. Can't wait to see him predict the numbers out live. Could this change the national lottery forever????

[DrunkerThanMoses]

Anyway he can tell me before?

[Gemmer-x]

yay can't wait for this.
i'm going to speak to him on twitter and ask him to tell me the numbers in advance :thumbs:

[MrGaryy]

CAN
NOT
WAITTTT!

im obsessed with him he is amazing!

[\PJ/]

I read ina mag he can take you back to your childhood and relive a small part of it:shocked:
And wednesday im watching C4 like a hawk i can't wait.

[Ninastar]

my mums friend went to one of his shows. so could the show she went to possibly on tv? I don't know anything about him really

[bansheewails]

He is an illusionist! I would love him to explain how he does some of his tricks. He tells people not to go to spiritualists etc, cause they ae all con artists, and For that I adore him!

:thumbs:

[Jack_]

REMINDER: It's on tonight at 10:35PM, I can't wait. :dance:

[Zac]

sf excited now.

[*mazedsalv**]

Excited to see this, but if he predicts it correctly and shows us how to predict it (as he will do he said on Friday if he is right) then Lottory will be no more because everyone would be winning.

[Jack_]

Not long now. Very excited. :cheer2:

[Scarlett.]

Lets see then :blush:

[bansheewails]

OH, is watching it, hoping for tips! He hates working!

:hugesmile:

and he wants a BMW

[Scarlett.]

How? :shocked:

[Mrluvaluva]

He got all 6. :shocked:

[Princess]

How the feck!!!!! That's unreal!

[HalfwitFTW]

How the hell did he do that!

I'm like this :shocked: right now

[Scarlett.]

I was thinking when we turned to BBC1 to check he would have done it....but still, the lottery numbers werent out then :shocked:

[\PJ/]

Woah!!!!!:shocked::shocked:

[Shaun]

:|

[King Gizzard]

There is no way thats possible, it is a fix.

[bansheewails]

Its an illusion! My OH, is too excited and can't wait until friday to find out how it is done!

[HalfwitFTW]

Excited to see this, but if he predicts it correctly and shows us how to predict it (as he will do he said on Friday if he is right) then Lottory will be no more because everyone would be winning.

It might be like that betting on horses thing he did.... so complicated, long winded and complex that most people wont be bothered or able to do it. He did say it took him a year to predict these lottery numbers.

[HalfwitFTW]

There is no way thats possible, it is a fix.

NAh its not. How can you fix the lottery... its completely random

[King Gizzard]

the thing is, if its real and he tells everryone how to do it, then everyone will be doing the lottery

so, the lottery will get more money from more people taking part

Big advertisement.

[Jack_]

THAT WAS AMAZING!

I am seriously interested to see how he did that. It has to be an illusion, but if he's actually come up with something that we can all do that would just be insane.

Can't wait for Friday now!

[*mazedsalv**]

I sat like this....

:shocked:

Facebook are all talking about it, but some people are going on about how it could have been printed on the balls digitally, I disagree (printed literally 4 secs after the numbers were announced!).

Ratings would have been high i expect for the show.

[\PJ/]

^^^ I bet they weren't i would be surprised if it got more than three mil.

[Mark]

I thought it was done via laser printing when I watched it. Seems plausable :thumbs:

[King Gizzard]

they said the lottery is done a bit before they broadcast it on tv, so they have an agreement with derren that they give him the numbers, he makes up some wacky way of guessing the numbers, more people enter the lottery, the lottery get more money

[MarkWaldorf]

There's no way he'll really tell people how to do it. It's probably just an illusion, considering thats what he does best. I'm calling it now there's some twist involved which we'll all kick ourselves for missing....

[*mazedsalv**]

^^^ I bet they weren't i would be surprised if it got more than three mil.

I reckon 3.6m. The whole country was talking about it, news, newspapers, magazines, TV ect... would be the 3rd highest rating of 2009 on C4 (behind CBB6 launch and BB10 launch I reckon)

[Tom]

there was a mirror used. i'll let you find it yourself but once you've noticed it its so obvious, especially the way he moves around it. even some of the bricks are like the house of mirrors. so theres some kind of illusion going on to either laser print the balls, stick numbers on or get new ones on there

And he takes a while to write the numbers down letting whatever is happening to work.

[Tom]

I just watched it again, there is no mirror I think I was seeing things or jumping the gun. In HQ you can see what I meant, but its just a dodgy wall and reflection on the floor

[Jack_]

Not long until it starts now. :hello:

I think a split screen was used, but I'm hoping that it'll be something more interesting than that seeing as he doesn't usually use camera trickery to fool the audience.

Either way it's caused a lot of speculation and it was a brilliantly executed stunt.

[Johann]

That REALLY explained everything - I want an hour of my life back.

[BGT-FAN!]

OMG!

[King Gizzard]

Croc of ****

[Ramsay]

I dont get it

[Jack_]

I'm even more confused than I was before. I guess we'll never know the truth, but he is a genius.

I believed the whole Wisdom of Crowds thing until he mentioned fixing the draw, now surely he wouldn't have done that? But you never know really...

It was a great show nonetheless and the coin thing was interesting and I want to give it a go.

[Vicky.]

He could not possibly have done all that.

If he had, he would have been arrested, Im sure they have endless security tapes round lottery HQ which would have caught the 'insider'...he just couldnt pull that off

That bit was all tongue in cheek...

[MrGaryy]

If he did fix it, he'd have to be the only criminal mastermind to explain exactly how they did it on National TV and still not get caught :P but I don't imagine he did.

[Vicky.]

LOL I can imagine the people who work for the lottery all being cross examined and that :joker::joker::joker:

All the security tapes being watched back...all because of that

[Ramsay]

so next week were gonna be ''glued to our seats''?
as much as i love derren brown
this events series just doesnt seem like the old derren i love

[TurtleSoup]

(psst, what's the snowflake about?)

[saraholeila]

He didn't actually "predict" anything. Prediction means he would have shown the viewers the numbers he picked before the lotto balls came out.
Bad trick.
Definitely green screen. There's even a software program you can use to make a camera appear jerky and hand held when it's perfectly still.

[Jack_]

REMINDER: Derren Brown: The Events - How To Control The Nation is on at 9PM on C4 tonight.

I can't wait, I think tonight could be his best show yet. I really hope it works on me. :thumbs:

[mrs-big]

i dont want it to work on me haha scaryyyy! lol

[Princess]

I'm really scared :laugh:

[King Gizzard]

strictlyyyy.

[*mazedsalv**]

Im scared! I hope it works on me!

[Chels]

I want this to work on my Dad.
I'd film him and take the p*ss forevaaa&evaaa. :love:

Does anybody think he actually JUST predicted the lottery last week though?! Or am i the only one lol.

[Vicky.]

I want this to work on my Dad.

I beieve what he said. He hasnt ever used camera tricks or anything before, so no reason to believe he did this time.

mMy mother in law thought he was being serious when he said he fixed the lottery :laugh:

We even tried it on Saturday between the family by adding up our numbers and finding the average, and we got two numbers. Coincidence? Probably, but we're playing tomorrow so we'll if we can do any better...

[MassiveTruck]

Bugger all happened to me. I'm still here.

[TurtleSoup]

It worked on me.:bigsmile:
Weird aching in my arms now though.

[Vicky.]

Didnt work on me or Gav...his mother said she wasnt going to watch, but watched anyway, she wasnt even sitting like he said, she was just siiting normally and it worked on her, she started crying and everything, panicking, now she says her legs hurt and are in cramp :shocked:

[Chels]

MY EIGHT YEAR OLD BROTHER WAS STUCK FOR ABOUT 2 MINUTES!!!!!!!!!
He was bricking it PMSL!!!!!!!!!!
Gahh i'm so jealous!!!!!!!! :bawling::bawling:

Same with my brother, he's saying his shoulders are burning!

[Vicky.]

I was wanting it to work on me :bawling:

Never mind...was quite funny watching gavs mam panic...I feel a bit sadistic now :devil:

[Stu]

Yeah I believed what he said as well. :thumbs:...
And there goes my faith in the human race...

[Chels]

[Gemmer-x]

meh - i didn't stick. i'v got it on sky + though, i'm determind to make it work aha :D

[King Gizzard]

Lmao derren is a cock.

[ManicWolf]

It didn't work on me. I really wanted it to too. :sad:

[Princess]

Didn't get stuck! I'm blaming my dad though,he kept interuppted! He's very cynical about magic and whatever. Pffft. I wanna try again!

[Shaun]

For those that were 'stuck' - it's just the placebo effect. I guess it's psychology - some peoples' minds wanted to feel something happen and therefore it did?

[Princess]

The few people I know who did get stuck were the ones who didn't think it would work! Seems everyone who wanted to get stuck didn't. Hmph

[MassiveTruck]

The few people I know who did get stuck were the ones who didn't think it would work! Seems everyone who wanted to get stuck didn't. Hmph


I did try it the second time and this time I just sat there and thought this isn't going to work and I want to prove that.

And you know what?

It didn't LOL

I'll try again.

[Tom]

For those that were 'stuck' - it's just the placebo effect. I guess it's psychology - some peoples' minds wanted to feel something happen and therefore it did?

Self fulfilling prophecy :dazzler:

I knew my A in A Level psychology would come in useful at some point :joker:

I don't think this whole series is what we're being lead to believe. I think there is something else in it. But I was looking forward to becoming a psychic spy, it might not happen now :sad:

[Lauren]

Its NOT magic, he's never claimed it to be magic - anyone saying "he's an idiot magic doesn't exist" should really read up on some things. It's also not self fulfilling prophecy Tom, but good explanation haha. (It sort of is, but if you read below you'll see the difference)

The explanation was that he introduced the "hype", people WANTED it to work, they expected themselves to be stuck, and they feared being stuck at the same time. The fear of being stuck tricked the brain (in some instances) that you were stuck.

There were no subliminal messages either lol.
(Also I didn't get 'stuck' haha).

I KNEW you'd do that to me :sad: you can shove yer degree. Its what it means to me, I only know it in simplistic terms remember :joker:

And there were subliminal messages, there was a flash that came up a few times. Could never make out what it was although I've heard people say it was someone tied to a chair

[Stu]

Why are people trying it again and again? It's based on quick fire suggestion and surprise, throughout the entire show. In fact, the video itself was probably nothing more than a placebo. If it did not work the first time I would be very surprised to see it work a second time.

Anyway, very interesting explanaiton on the lottery trick here : http://ninethirtyfive.wordpress.com/2009/09/12/derren-brown-lottery-reveal-missing-footage-proves-he-rigged-it/

I am hoping all of this stuff ties together in the final show. A lot of this is hit and miss so far. Even Derren knows that. Not everybody was going to get stuck. It was a huge risk.

(Also I didn't get 'stuck' haha).

I think it was little hypnotism and power of suggestion as well. Like you said, it was how the TV can influence you to do something.

But I think there were some subliminal messages. I saw one flicker onto the screen of a man trapped in a chair with some rope around his torso.

It'll easily work on those easily suggestible.

Yeah I saw someone tied to a chair.

I did feel something but I think it was how suggestible you were. I think some tried to get up and got up while others tried and got stuck there.

I'm unsure why people are using the word placebo here because they're two different things. A placebo is something given to you is told to have an effect but doesn't - while you believe it does.

He was trying to say it wasn't the video that stuck people to their chairs- it was people wanting to be stuck that caused it.

[Vicky.]

Dont quite know how that works then, gavs mam didnt want to be stuck, she was hadly even watching the rest of the show, she only watched the video bit that was meant to stick you, because we went quiet and told her to shush...she was terrified...was quite funny actually :laugh:

[Tom]

I didn't mean wanting like that as such, but if you say to yourself "I'm going to get stuck" and believe it enough, it can happen

[MassiveTruck]

Which is why I think it was more the power of suggestion by subliminal imagery. It's the same thing with advertisements. They're not exactly subliminal (because I think it's banned in advertisements) but they show imagery and give sounds that make the product appealing beyond it's sum parts.

That's why in this thread people are saying they wanted to and tried to get stuck because wanting to and trying to should encourage alongside the influencing with the suggestibility.

Suggestibility itself though is hardwired in our personality and our identity so it's not easy to just say you want to be suggestible at whim.

Not wanting to get stuck, or the fear of getting stuck, can be just as powerful a form of suggestion. Some people could not move because despite the fact that they could, they're brains roped them into thinking they cant through fear, to the point where you cannot connect your will to the actual physical act of moving, and thus you are 'stuck'.

Also, I think those subliminal images were just tongue in cheek. They looked riddculous and were flashed far, far too obvious and slow. Plus Derren mentioned they have no effect. But then, in a way they did due to him saying that, and us wondering why, and so on and so forth, until we dont know what to think and...

...voila. Derren is a very rich and famous man.

[MeMyselfAndI]

Its horrible and one of the worst experiences ever to be stuck, u panic then u panic more its horrible dont even try, i was really looking forward to it and i could not move anything but my arms and it lasted for a few mins after the show! I was by myself and i couldnt get to my phone for help.

[atieah2009]

Lol big bro fan you are being sarcastc.... are you?

[Lauren]

The "images" that flashed up were too obvious to be subliminal. They were used to heighten fear and expectation in us, he manufactured them to be fast, but fast enough for us to see them! So we thought... wow he's really using subliminal messages!

[Stu]

Also, notice how he said if you let it, it should work on ''bright, creative individuals''.

Translation : Let this work on you and you are great.

[Tom]

Just to add, the series is about misdirection and the title of Friday's show was "How To Control The Nation"

Whether or not people got stuck to their seats, he still controlled the 4m people who watched

[\PJ/]

The way he tells you to sit also helps.

How To Be A Psychic Spy tonight at 9PM on C4. :thumbs:

Can't wait.

[Beastie]

I canne wait either. Bring it on!

[MassiveTruck]

I drew a street with buildings on either side and lamp posts on the pavements...

How rubbish eh.

[Ramsay]

this whole
'the events' stuff
is really ****
derren used to be mint

[King Gizzard]

karl has been taken over by aristabot

[Lewis.]

I drew exactly what the girl gad drawn. so did my mum. Crazy :O

[Chels]

I drew a stonehendge with cecentric (or however you spell it) circles around it!
strange :S

[Jack_]

How To Beat A Casino is the last of The Events and is on at 9PM tonight. :thumbs:

Shame the series is coming to an end, but I've loved every episode and can't wait for tonight's.

[Shaun]

He failed. PMSL.

[Lewis.]

EPIC FAIL.

I felt so sorry for him Lmfao.

[ILoveTRW]

that was so funny you could even see a guy holding a check for waiting to give it to ben

[King Gizzard]

lmao

[Stu]

Man, I felt so bad for Derren! Still, it proved this one was a legit system using his genuinely gifted brain, as opposed to a giant compass under the table being controlled by the ghost of Houdini theory.

[Scarlett.]

The Events have been really really really ****

[King Gizzard]

or maybe he failed on purpose/always going to fail so that people will think hes been legit with real methods all the way through?

[Stu]

or maybe he failed on purpose/always going to fail so that people will think hes been legit with real methods all the way through?
Somebody mentioned this on another forum, and to be honest, I think the embarrassment of failing on national television outweighs any possible gain. But it's an interesting theory.

In fact, with the exception of that fail, the entire shark jump of a series should have been shown in reverse order. The stunts were far too un-Derren like, and with there ambition carried a far higher ratio of possible failure, and with it a harder time suspending ones disbelief.

Half hour shows of him generally scaring people shitless on busy streets, and his stage shows, are Derren at his best.

[King Gizzard]

Well he done his job, everyones talking about him. must of earned a fortune.

[Stu]

I really would like to see more of him on Channel 4. He could work on numerous Darwin-esque shows, and a series where he debunks the paranormal is not hard to imagine. He is a fascinating character.

It's also worth mentioning, as a final insult to injury, that this piece of television blended suggestion, hypnosis, misdirection and ... Tim Westwood.

Innit.

[King Gizzard]

ugh tim westwood. total knob

he comes from my town too apparently, massive fail

and it shows he puts on his stupid accent cause we don't talk like that here! lol

Innit.

He'll be back in a few months on Channel 4. Something in 3D aswell. Says at the time, 3D glasses will be available in sainsburys. Looking forward to that.

On this stunt. Despite failing, it turned out to be more impressive for me. Had he hit the 8, by today there would have been a bunch of theories of how he did it and it all being fake etc. Something interesting somebody mentioned was when he exchanged for chips, he asked for "10 x 500's", where could he have been for the currency to match up to 5000 pounds?

[Beastie]

Derren is still a legend and I would love to see him live in theatre!

[InOne]

He was gutted, pretty much speechless when he failed.

[Ramsay]

Derren failing was the best tv moment this year

[Chels]

I felt so sorry for him :/
bless.
i still love derren(:
