My Sky HD box only just caught it.. but I couldn't find the numbes on the lottery site as they are still being updated.

Will be interesting to see on Friday, how he did it.

In reply to a post by Nemesis:

OH MY GOD - how the hell did he predict those numbers !!!!

For people who don't know - he had a 5 min slot on channel 4 whilst the lottery numbers were being drawn and he had his predicted numbers already and they all were correct.

This is a rather interesting post for 'General Broadband Chatter'.

I'm sure he'll explain how he 'predicted' them afterwards. Of course he didn't actually predict them, if he could do that he wouldn't have been on TV he'd be enjoying a massive EuroMillions win somewhere.

jeez the word guliable springs to mind.......

Not 'guliable', intrigued.

His so called explanation show was rubbish, nothing but a bunch of very old and very tired tricks........

The old four boxxes thing so old, draw 4 boxes on a sheet of paper, number them 1-4, most people will pick box 3 and most will not pick box 1 or 4 (dont believe me try it on a big bunch of friends)

Actually..........

Maybe he spent the whole year training that mouse to stay perfectly still under a paper cup while some fool jumps around on the floor making a right old din....... Or maybe his so called powers equate to being able to tilt the last paper cup up a bit while palming a mouse and letting it run for cover up the cup.

I liked the fix the machine method though.... weighted balls ahhhaaa, i guess the lottery has stopped independant inspection and weighing of them minutes before the draw now have they.

Id explain the 24 people maths trick also but im bored (though if anyone insists ill be happy)
Very dissapointing program and soooooooo obvious now it was indeed camera trickery, something the two faced tool promised was never used several times in the past.

I didn't see the program, but I did see something TheSun website before his explanation was goind to be aired and after.

Before, their suggestion how it might of been done:-

Noting Paul Daniels comments further down the page!

After, with remarks (in the story) from two Maths Experts:-

Obviously and as per Paul Daniels comments he used "gobbledegook" in his explanation. The big giveaway with the explanation ( if the maths wasn't enough) is that he's mixed mathematics with "ancient" stories. He's sort of made a whole follow-up show comprise of some tongue-in-cheek "trickery", but then he is an entertainer.

what paul daniel comments? can you please quote here as cannot find it on that link thanks.

In the 1st link
But fellow magician Paul Daniels said Derren would only give "gobbledegook" explanations.

Paul claimed there were 99 ways to perform the illusion, but added: "I'll never give away another professional's secrets."
