Did you just watch Derren Brown??????

[InOne]

Predicted 5 numbers, nice!!!!!!!!!!!

[DrunkerThanMoses]

Did he do it?

[InOne]

Yeah in the right order too

[DrunkerThanMoses]

Really, god i was on msn..... my friends were saying he was going to do it.

So he actually got 5 in a row right! Bloody hell, wired!

[*mazedsalv**]

He predicted all of them. You can say whatever you want, I couldnt believe it at first but i think it was not a fix, the BBC were broadcasting it live as i was switchng back and forth, there was no time to edit or digitally print the numbers on the ball.

edit- he predicted all 6 not 5. all 6 in order.

[Nigeria_Bob]

He should've done the lottery, or revealed his numbers before theirs for me to be impressed.

[InOne]

He should've done the lottery, or revealed his numbers before theirs for me to be impressed.


He was not allowed cos the BBc has to show them first.

[*mazedsalv**]

I read the other day that he has been banned from buying lottery tickets or going to casinos.

[DrunkerThanMoses]

Bloody hell, any way he can tell me them for saturday :joker:

[HalfwitFTW]

Yeah :shocked:

But he predicted all 6 didnt he?

That guy never ceases to amaze me

[mrs-big]

Yes, i was watching...:shocked:


How did he do that? :O haha

[Nigeria_Bob]

Radio controlled led-lights embedded in ping-pong balls :rolleyes:

[Cristina]

No, he would have been the king of the world by now if he had those incredible talents....

Remember kids, as he says himself at the beginning of his programs: "Its an illusion....."

[HalfwitFTW]

Radio controlled led-lights embedded in ping-pong balls :rolleyes:

Well no the lottery cannot do that, they could get sued for doing that. Do you think they'd be that dumb.

I think what he did is similar to what he did in 'The System'... he has figured out some process of predicting the lottery numbers.

[nut]

its a trick that he will show on friday its easy to do if you use camera trickery, the screen where you are watching him is plit in 2 left and right, the screen on the right is where DB is live i was watching the screen on the left that was on a loop {think of the film speed on the bus where people get off the bus, but the bomber sees the passangers still in their seats} the video is on a loop the real stand can have a man standing there puting the balls on the stand as they are read out once the balls have been read out the man walks away then the loop is cut the both sides of the screen are now live:thumbs:

[King Gizzard]

I cant believe that you actually believe it HalfwitFTW:joker::joker:

I cant believe that you actually believe it HalfwitFTW:joker::joker:

:tongue:

Believe what?

I dont believe he has some psychic ability, but I do believe he has devised some system or process of working out which lottery numbers will come up.

We'll just have to wait till Friday to find out eh!

What about Time Bandits…

[nut]

the way i said he does it is the way iv seen tricks done my mate is a member of the magic circle and pointed somthing like it out to me before. watch C4+1 and take note of the screen on the left and watch the shaky camera then look at the right side and see its still, the left side is on a loop. the friday show he will come out with some cock and bull storie that its a system, but in fact is 100% on a loop:thumbs:

There is no system for predicting, its a trick, how he does it who knows. But a trick never the less

The Horse one was just spamming races to get left with someone that does have the all of them, but out of thousands.

Great tricks mind. Just like walking on water but better.

[nut]

what are subliminal messages that are flashing all the time on the walls and floor?? anyone seen them

[HalfwitFTW]

I wanna see DB live

[GypsyGoth]

I'm watching his show now, he is amazing.

[Shasown]

Seeing as it was billed as a live event, showcasing one of four events of misdirection, he doesnt have a system for predicting. will be a camera trick or some other trickery.

[ManicWolf]

Derren Brown is just amazing. I love the man! I've been a fan of his stuff for years.

I'd really like to hear the skeptics explanation as to how he did this. I can't wait for the show on Friday telling us how he did it.

[Luanda]

The one week I didn't do the lottery and my regular numbers get drawn.

Oh well.

[*mazedsalv**]

Some people are saying that they think either:

1. BBC not being Live as they did not state that they were Live. But the Lottory is always live.
2. Him covering his mouth with his hand during the balls came out, people think he may have been talking through his hand to someone to change the numbers.
3. It was practised, Derren didnt jump up and down with joy after he found out he was right, he was rather calm.

IMO, all of them are not the explanations, the most believable would be #2 but the audio was put quite low so we would have heard something if he was talking into a audio piece through his hand.

[ManicWolf]

IMO, all of them are not the explanations, the most believable would be #2 but the audio was put quite low so we would have heard something if he was talking into a audio piece through his hand.

Considering the camera was never taken off the balls from start to finish then what would it matter if Derren was telling someone the numbers? Did someone wearing an invisibility cloak come on and write the numbers on the balls?

[Luanda]

That is totally weird and I swear it is the truth but I have forgotten virtually everything that happened on the show, just as he said.

[delta]

If he can predict the lottery then why the fcukk is he scratting around pretending to be some sort of special case.


Methinks that it will have been something like the horse racing predictor he filmed.


I didn't watch it so I cannot say with any degree of certainty, but I would hazard a guess that he has been filmed predicting every ball and then the footage was diced and sliced to make it look like he had predicted all 6. Tis all an illusion.

[nut]

watch this will explane how he does it as iv said the screen is split in 2 one side is on a loop the other is live 2 cameras one live the other recored when you watch the replay you can see the camera is shaky and zoom's in out as they stitch the 2 films together.

as i said re- watch watch the left side of the screen where it zoom's in and out



* Hardware * » Camcorders Basic Training: Camera Magic Dr. Robert G. Nulph January 2005 ShareThis So you've read a few of the articles about using a tripod and you have actually tried a few lighting techniques, but you say your videos still lack pizzazz and finesse? You don't have a lot of money to spend on a more advanced editing system and the computer you do have has enough trouble delivering your e-mail. What's a person to do? The answer? In-camera effects: the secret to camera magic since the invention of film. In this column, we will describe ways to accomplish some pretty amazing effects, right in your camera. These techniques only require three things: a camera, some imagination and a dose of the most magic of all ingredients, good planning. Practice Makes Perfect Today's camcorders have the ability to start and stop on a dime and digital camcorders are frame accurate. This wasn't always the case. However, we live in the twenty-first century so we should be able to take advantage of it. The first stop on our tour of camera magic begins with your camera. Make sure you know how to change the focus smoothly, slowly zoom in and out without stuttering, and pause and record precisely where you want.

Condensing Time and Space: In-Camera Dissolves

By using the following camera techniques, you can actually condense time and space. In other words, turn something that usually takes hours, days or weeks into a series of believable shots that take seconds. While condensing time and space techniques usually use an editing system's dissolves and wipes, you can create very nice substitutes right in your camera.

To create a dissolve-type transition, tightly focus on your subject and slowly defocus. Then, pause the camera and change subjects. Now, hit record and slowly bring your new subject into focus. If you are careful to defocus your subjects so that nothing is readily recognizable, the resulting effect will seamlessly fit together. The closer the color, shape and lighting, the more seamless the transition will appear.

A variation of that same shot begins with a zoom in to the subject and defocusing the camera before you get to your desired close up. Then, pause your camera, set your next shot up, tightly zoomed in on your subject and defocused. Finally, hit the record button and slowly zoom out while refocusing the shot. This shot works extremely well if it is focused on the same object to create the sense of a passage of time.

that is how its done:thumbs:

[Shasown]

The lottery announcement is live only in as much as BB evictions were live feed. The actual drawings are carried out in front of a live studio audience. But there is a time delay after the drawing and before the TV announcement.

[nut]

The lottery announcement is live only in as much as BB evictions were live feed. The actual drawings are carried out in front of a live studio audience. But there is a time delay after the drawing and before the TV announcement. it does not matter if its live it can still be done on a loop video that is the way its done on a loop the screen is cut in 2 the right side is live the left side is not {the left side could have an elephant on set you will not see it though because its on aloop} once the number are known someone puts the correct ball's in the place then walks out of shot the loop is cut and now its live you dont see the cut because of the constant zoom in out what you see looks live, but is is not all you need is 2 seconds and the trick can be pulled off the time it takes him to turn off the TV walk up to the stand with the numbers on is enough time to pull the trick off.

[Shasown]

Doesnt even need to be as sophisticated as that, someone in the lottery draw audience texts or phones the numbers to the studio that DB is using, they set the balls up, then he walks out and starts his live show inline with the official aired BB announcement.

He did say he wasnt using any form of camera tricks, but it is misdirection. He tends to play with the truth but doesnt lie, if you get my drift.

every magician will tell you they dont use camera tricks if they didn't they would not be called magicians.

p.s
the draw is live may be 1 second delay, DB was on the same time as the draw was being done the balls would still need to be change the way they do it is they film the satnd with the balls on then keep looping it on the left hand side of the screen once the balls are known they are changed the man who changed the balls walks off stage cut the loop all you see is the same stand and balls DB turns off the TV walks up to the balls turns them around WOW look i got it right everyone on TV! iv seen tricks done similar and iv seen them being shown how they are done and that is how DB done that trick! i knew before he even done it to watch out for the tell tail signs of the suttle zoom in zoom out as the focus as to blend in the loop with the live show on the right side once the cut was made it would not be seen.

yes that is one possible way of doing it, however i was just pointing out Derren Brown doesnt claim to be a magician a psychic or anything else like that, he uses NLP and misdirection. If however he states no camera tricks, then he doesnt use camera tricks, its what he built his career on.

The national lottery draw is done in a live tv studio, it is recorded then broadcast at a pre set time later in the evening, it doesnt matter what time the draw is done because terminals wont allow tickets to be issued for that days draw after 7.30pm.

The time delay between the draw and the broadcast is a lot longer than 1 sec. Under the contract Camelot have to run the lottery, they have to be independently verified before release, there is a little bit more to the verification procedure than the man standing with his clipboard giving the nod.

An example is the euromillions is drawn in paris at 9.30pm our time but announced live after 11 on a Friday.

No I didn't see it, but my boyfriend did and was telling me about it earlier. It was also shown on C4 apparently?

I don't particularly like Derren Brown. Never have. I'm not sure why.

I'm not sure why. look at the video above look the top of the TV left corner little bit to the left and just below the top of the youtube window you will see a white dot that moves around on the wall all the time once the balls have been changed the dot *******'s off:whistle:

I would agree if they used pedestal mounted cameras, there is however judder and movement all through that, caused by the cameraman moving slightly, breathing etc.

As the movement appears to consistant throughtout the screen when any movement does occur must take something else to align a loop like that.

Anyway we will find out the truth on Friday night.

[Johann]

They probably digitally imprinted the numbers on the balls or something as they were read out. Either way it's a load of bollocks. Shouldn't he be a billionaire now if he can do **** like that?

If you look at 5:39 as the 6th ball is drawn. The camera is hand held and moving throughout the broadcast but freezes momentarily at 5:39. This is when the change takes place.

The trick was most probably done by having a set of six blank balls and somehow the numbers were quickly printed on the balls just after the winning Lotto numbers came up.

No matter what, it was a good trick! He said he would tell us on Friday, his show on Friday is an hour long, if it was any of the things people have said in this thread then that would take 5 mins to explain.

I mean it is possible that he could actually be phsycic, but I doubt it, whatever it is, was a good trick!

[Tom]

There was a mirror in use so someone probably but the right balls onto the stand or something

[Stu]

It's Derren Brown. He has a slot to fill on Friday explaining the trick. He is an artist of misdirection. I think magic ping pong balls is not giving him enough credit. FTW.

Keith Barry's better. Derren robs a lot of his tricks a couple of years after he's done them. Keith is better known in USA, and not in UK so he can get away with it.
I'd say there was some green screen going on on one side of the screen lastnite, anyways. He'll reveal all on Friday.

He has Four shows over the next four weeks, five big stunts of misdirection. His adverts are full of clues , if you look at the series of adverts there are indicators about the lottery -lottery balls on the lampost and the back of a male passer by, the lotto slogan on the bus changed to "it will be you"

He also has shows lined up one on subliminals, psychic spying and how to take down a casino

[BadBoyMcCoy]

I'm gonna love it on friday when he reveals how he did it.
Most you guys are gonna realise how wrong you are..

split screen, pff

I'm gonna love it on friday when he reveals how he did it.

split screen, pffhe is going to tell you some bull s**t storie that he has some sort of system PMSL and he will fool the like's you in thinking it is truth because he says he does not use camera tricks:laugh3: Duh! can i ask do you think American wrestling is real and not fixed? do you really think that someone can a somthing disappear? its a split screen screen camrea trick wipe you would not know what to look for to spot it, if you look i tell you on the forum what going on before he even does the trick!

look at the shaky camera is one clue the camera's they use in TV studios to day have auto focus and monted on frames that will not shake because the camera man is breathing its still as it films! read about the camera trick method i posted above and how they use the zoom in zoom out move the cam left right to stitch the loop and live streams together and you can see where the split is [ the white spot ob the wall that keeps moving and ******s off once the balls have been switched!

I dont give a s*** what he says friday that is a classic camera trick:whistle:

[Whitepoodle]

He was saying that he will tell us how it was done on Friday and he said: "you can do it too" so it must be something that can be recreated by the viewers.

[Shasown]

The BBC have a time delay of at least 5 minutes on pretty much all "live" transmissions, especially those with any sort of a live presenter or narrator. Its even used on Radio programs (it was because of a series of jokes and swearing complaints on radio it was introduced - Edith Bowman and Chris Moyles).

As for his comment you can do this too, he said similar about his "Horse Racing System".

Last year in his show The System, he correctly sent the correct winners of five horse races to a hard up housewife, and convinced her to bet £4,000 of her own money on his prediction for the sixth.

Only when it lost did we find out that he'd sent similar predictions to another 7,775 unsuspecting people, covering every possible combination.

It was amazing that last night! go derren :D

there's loads of posts on forums about possible methods of doing the trick. The main one being the split screen method. But Derren Brown's thing has always been that he never uses 'stooges' or video tricks. If on fridays big reveal he just goes oh it was a split screen then it would not be worth all the hype.
There must be something more going on. Reakon something to do with the backwards recordings. Whatever it is, it worked as in getting loads of people talking about it and will be viewing the show on friday.

If he can predict the lottery then why the fcukk is he scratting around pretending to be some sort of special case.


Methinks that it will have been something like the horse racing predictor he filmed.


I didn't watch it so I cannot say with any degree of certainty, but I would hazard a guess that he has been filmed predicting every ball and then the footage was diced and sliced to make it look like he had predicted all 6. Tis all an illusion.Like you I didn't see the show and I also thoght the same solution as you.

Obviously, he did not predict the numbers. He had either said all of the numbers earlier and the winning ones were spliced together. Or, it was just simple cameras trickery and he already knew what the numbers were before "predicting" them.

Whatever the solution, it will be fairly obvious, once it's known.

Derren Brown = ****
Criss Angel = :thumbs:

You cant be for real surely?

Criss Angel lies about how he does his tricks. He uses camera tricks and actors. His walking on water trick was just him walking on special type of glass, with actors around pretending to be amazed and shocked.

Derren Brown, on the other hand. doesnt use actors or stooges and usually explains to us how he does what he does... even then he leaves us wondering how he does it!

Also, what Derren Brown does is a lot more well thought out, and has real intelligence and psychology behind it (just watch him simultaneously playing chess against 9 world class players). Plus he has real wit and humour which make him v. entertaining to watch.

If you hate it so much and he bores you then why the **** do you have to constantly remind everyone of that by posting numerous comments.

Just shows you don't have a life, if you hate it so much then don't bother with it instead of feeling the need to constantly remind everyone you hate it.

And it turned out it wasn't a camera trick but a mathematical process. But i suppose from the nature of your comments you aren't intelligent enough to comprehend it.

(Given your intelligence levels you may need a dictionary to understand my post :thumbs:)
