Channel 4 Diffusion.. : How DID he do that? All of Britain guessing how Derren Brown stunned the world by predicting the lottery results

Sunday, 13 September 2009 - 5:44 AM SL Time

The top theories:

* Split-screen trickery?
* A false wall hiding an assistant?
* `E-ink` balls?
* Filming every possible combination?
* Or is Derren just magic...

Derren Brown is a man who has appeared to play Russian Roulette on live television, using a revolver filled with genuine ammunition. But even by his standards, his latest stunt was a real jaw-dropper.

On Wednesday at 10.35pm, having boasted for days that he would predict the six main ball numbers in the midweek National Lottery draw, Brown went on-air, live across all Channel 4`s terrestrial and satellite channels.

Numbers up: Derren Brown makes history by becoming the first person to successfully predict the National Lottery numbers live on air

At exactly the same time, BBC1 broadcast the draw, also live. On the stage of the studio from which Brown was broadcasting stood a television, to show the BBC draw.

A few feet away, to the left as the viewer saw it, stood a clear plastic stand. On top of the stand were six white, lottery-sized balls.

Brown claimed the winning numbers, as predicted by him, had already been written on the balls.

They would, he said, be revealed after the draw had been made. The six main numbers drawn by the lottery machine were, in numerical order, 2, 11, 23, 28, 35, 39. And the numbers written on the balls in Brown`s studio were, yes, 2, 11, 23, 28, 35, 39.

Brown had not bought a ticket for the Lottery. That`s a pity, because if he really did predict the right numbers he would have been the only person to do so. There were no claimants for the 2.4million jackpot.

I think lotteries are cheating using differently weighted balls.. There should be a live ball weighting broadcast.. (but even that is not a guaranteed measure against cheating.)
