I think that whole show was bs. I'll remain thinking it was a split screen trick. I'm not falling for the stuff he said about taking the average numbers.

lets get everyone on this thread to test his theory? then find averages lol.

Lets tbh. Then see what everyone thinks of his "bs".

Loved both the solutions, very believeable. I actually thought it was camera trickery from the very start, now I don't. Lol at the people who still do.

Is this sarcasm? Or are you serious?

why do people keep saying that. thats exactly what hes about. miss direction. hes just miss directed the whole nation into thinking he either used the crowd method or that he fixed it.

the only real option to guessing the lottery balls is trickery which would have have to been something like splitscreen or cgi. theres mathematically and physically no other way. it all adds up too since he refused to show the guess. he refused to show the guess because there wasnt one

well unless those 24 people and him where just really really really lucky

CGI live or not live in that scenario would not have gone smoothly - there would have been some hint that it was CGI on Wednesdays show and people would have clocked it. Yet you see nothing. It wasn't any camera trickery - but I agree he hasn't predicted the lottery numbers - as he says, it was a trick (Not a camera trick - I guarentee it

)

Serious, maybe a bit exaggerated because it annoys me when people say it's crap when it clearly wasn't. It was excellent TV and wish he had gone into more detail abou it.

Hate to admit it, but I'm starting to think it was a split screen or something similar and he's had to say it wasn't at the start of the show because he'll no doubt have read a load of forum posts like on this thread where people are saiyng its split screen... That show tonight was organised weeks ahead of its airing and he can't just go "ok ya got me it was split screen"... can't really think of any other way it was done. There was definite manipulation of the balls / camera trickery, or he got lucky and had even bigger odds than 13 million to 1 given that he said he was going to predict it on one night inparticular.

What, you mean like all the people talking about how one of the balls inexplicably moves?

As I said, some people just like to see others fail.

i wonder why none of those 24 people brought a lottery ticket that day?

or did they???

they didnt know each others guesses and didnt know what the averages where

they where either actors or most likely where tricked by derren too

It didn't move - if you were physically there you wouldn't see it move - it was just the perspective of the camera

They wrote their numbers on the night (So - apparently - about half hour before the live show)

they collectively (allegedly) picked those numbers half an hour before the results..

Do people actually know what CGI is

The sooner you realise the balls were AFTER the lottery the better.

What's up for discussion is how he made it look legit on tv. I'm still going with split screen.
