Have at thee Brown! My prediction for event two a postscript.

So my predictions for Derrens second event were spot on. No great surprise there as there really wasn’t any other way he could have done it. Resorting to such Uri Geller levels of trickery and huxterism makes me all the more sure that he probably has something up his sleeve for the finale… Then again on the other hand magicians traditionally have nothing up there sleeves so…

Confound you Mr Brown, confound you!

Hmmmmm it seems highly likely all three of my predictions were wrong.

Mr Brown appears to have used a method at least slightly different from the ones I suggested yesterday.

However I have, like any good scientist or sceptic, a new theory..

My prediction for Derren Browns first event…

Derren Brown returns to our screens for a series of events in the first of which he claims he will predict the lottery numbers of Wednesdays draw correctly just minutes before the draw.

This post intends to look at some of the ways he could achieve this and some people, even though it is only idle speculation, may find reading on spoils their enjoyment of the show and the trick. It takes a special kind of person to enjoy working out how magic tricks are performed, magicians generally, so be warned and don’t read on if you are not the kind of person who likes that sort of thing…
