Darren Brown correctly 'predicts lottery numbers'

christ that was shit. his stuff has really gone down hill.

It's just a trick, the same variety as his live show, which he didn't explain either. I suspect the numbers were transferred to the balls before he turned them round, which would explain him fussing about the bonus ball to buy time.

People like magic, like being baffled. He's not taking the piss out of anyone.

, like being baffled. .

is that why you and Shinscar pretend to be different people?

^ I think "geroge best" may have been from when they were being The Ukranians.

was that on 10"?

i think i had that. but got rid of it. i never listened to it.

very probably something like that yep. which would have been cool if he'd revealed it. especially if he'd shown the faces of the mooing wankers who thought that thay'd predicted the lottery via the power of "team building".

so i guess my gripe isn't that he subversibly took the piss out of a group of oinking simpletons, it's that he didn't let them know he'd made them look like cunts on national tv. i'm basically annoyed that they weren't comprehensivley humiliated and revealed to be the drooling cretins they blatantly were. i'm annoyed that this conclusion was unavailable to the casual viewer.

i think this makes me a bad person.

but i'm still annoyed.

You've never seen us in the same place at the same time?

I'm no physicist but I think quantum theory suggests that's no longer a convincing argument. Whereas the broad similarity in your assumed names is pretty conclusive.

same goes for mooks and dooks who are 'both' watching this thread right now

and damo and dammit

the evidence just piles up.

i know it's a trick dude. that's kind of my point. ah, whatever, it's only entertainment. my gripe is pretty much laid out above. he used to reveal that fact that his trickery is at leats trickery (i don't necessarily want to know exactly how it's done) but he left a lot of twits thinking that if they just follow the "instructions" he gave that they too might be able to predict a totally random event. i bet people do try it too. guarantee it.

and that half arsed "maybe we rigged the machine" bollocks at the end wasn't even vaguely convincing. nah.

i think he's usually very good but that was bollocks of the highest order.

jameseses both dancing and crazy.

It was in his hat.

um dooks, i don't mean to insult you or anything, but maths can do some pretty fucked up things. like, i can't remember exactly the context (anyone with a maths degree here?) but, things such as bank account deposits (for businesses), the prices of things in shops, things like that, do not have an average of leading numbers, they follow a set pattern. totally unrelated things and things that you would expect to be random are not.

kind of ruins my point that i can't remember what this is called. to google!

Oh Jesus Christ, this is horrible.

To think we have come so far and still amongst us are magical thinkers :(

There is no data passed from one random selection of [anything] to the next.

You are not insulting dooks, really.

He looks a little bit like you, 'cept he dresses better.

Yeah but if you buy a bible in Asda, and you multiply the number on the barcode by the barcode number of a Charge Plug bought in Evans, you get a number ending in 666, which, even you'll have to admit, is kind of fucking freaky.

Actually, I don't know this, my mate told me, but I fucking trust him. And even if it wasn't true, it would make you think.

Well he apparently just lost some random guy £5000 on roulette.

It was shit.

It looked faked to fuck.

I prefer card tricks.

ha ha, hippy you grumpy cunt, he basically just proved he cant do everything. fair play to him.

No way. That instant hypnosis, the actor that was the bloke with 5k, the 'hidden' camera in the casino with the cgi static and shit.
