Who's watching it tonight? He promises to predict 5 numbers in tonights draw, he's been banned from buying a ticket.
If you watch the trailer for it, look out for the numbers on the lamp post.
Could it be that he does predict the numbers, he's subliminally told them to his viewers, they all put the numbers on, and get 5 numbers, but because so many people share the prize, they all win like £2 each. Thats my prediction anyways.
You can find the video the correct way round on youtube too.

Good story - I spoke to derren brown during one of his live shows, dunno if anyone saw the series he did on stage where he got an audience member up and asked them to ring a friend? well blake was up on stage and rang me, i was at work. He managed to get me to say what i was wearing, told me where i worked, that i was a musician, that i'd just passed my driving test and what my cat's name was. Freaked me the FUCK out
Blake professes to this day that it was totally genuine and he never told him anything

I'm assuming those numbers are for saturday given the live show goes out tonight about 10.35pm?

I got "randomly picked out" to go on stage once by a magician. He went on to tell me all about myself - I was utterly gob-smacked by how much he knew.
Turns out he had seen me and my then partner coming into the venue, and followed him to the gents to get all the info.
sneaky bastard.

Will actually be a little disappointed if i don't get 5 numbers now, although i'm 90% certain it's horseshit and just some general public social experiment on conformity

I also believe there was a 100 ton monster in manhatten code named Cloverfield
He has always said what he did wasnt magic, but if it is as cheap a trick as green screen that be rubbish

There's no way he'd dedicate a 1 hour tv special to showing you that it was an illusion. I'm assuming it's gonna be some memory thing like he did with counting cards. Obviously it's on a much larger scale and whatnot, but if he's saying he's dedicated a year of his life to rigging up a green screen illusion i'll be disappointed. Although i just find it difficult to believe that someone can predict the lottery numbers from just studying the draws of the past year or the patterns in which the balls come out, it's too random, especially given the fact that he 'predicted' all 6 numbers. Anyway, i for one will be glued to the screen saturday morning (working friday night so i'm recording it boo)
On a lighter note, i see paul daniels got some column inches off the back of this in the guardian i think it was, saying he knows 99 or so ways to predict the lottery. If that was the case, surely he could afford to buy himself some hair. And height. And a tv career resurrection. And a hot bird.

I take back my previous comment, having watched it again there's clearly some split screen thing goin on in and around the podium the numbers are on, he has to sidestep around it very carefully. Either way it was still awesome and has peaked my curiosity
