derren brown and the lottery

Derren Brown predicted the right lottery number's on wednesday night But how did he do it? First of all lets not forget that Derren Brown is an illusionist by trade and that his job is to fool the public and on wednesday the 9th of September that is exactly what he did.

For those of you who still believe he done it, he predicted right and that he is a genius think about this, Why didnt he show you the number's first before the lottery was drawn and why in his show on friday does he go on and on about nothing and the fact that he remembered an article he had read which described the power of crowds explaining that in the 18th century there was a fair and a prize of winning an ox if anyone could guess the weight of the ox. This 1 man multiplied the number of people in the competition then divided by something i dont actually know and the anwser was the weight of the ox, Now that has no relevence to the lottery and the fact the weight is the exact answer he got is purely coincidental is it not?

Derren Brown used camera trickery to pull off the stunt, There is no way he could of fixed the lottery like he suggested at the end this is so people think he DID fix the lottery by placing heavier balls in the machine. It is a big illusion helped with the aid of camera's and television and time delay. If he had predicted right then he would have written the numbers 2 minutes before and shown everyone the numbers he thought, but that didnt happen it was all a big con Bravo My Brown his Publicity has shot through the roof!
