So you're all clear how Derren Brown guessed the Lottery Numbers now, right?

Right? (Or was the 'how I did it' last night just more smokescreen?...)

The only thing

I learned from last night's programme was that neither of the expanations given were the real one. I'm assuming it was video trickery -some kind of split screen thing?

well clearly

it was a trick. Clue: he didn't reveal the numbers until AFTER the draw.

bargepole assumed anyway

that he was never going to give his secret away, or there goes the mystique!
in fairness he makes it clear in his book that it's all simply illusion, misdirection etc, and obviously it's impossible to predict six random numbers. people want to believe otherwise of course, which is what he plays on!

Didn't see it

But I still think the basic problem is he's on TV and TV is an illusion. He can't explain how he did things because he would have to explain what part television played in it.

Indeed

He claimed to have used a group of 24 people and the principle of the accuracy of average crowd predictions being correct; but that's OK when guessing the weight of a cow but does not apply to random numbers. It was a waste of time.

David Blayne was more impressive in his show straight afterwards.

Guessing the weight of a cow

Now that's a better way to run a lottery, surely...
