i think its all fake.
if he could predict the lottery he would win it every week.
i saw his show tonight when he made the girl choose a package one of them had a cheque for a few grand in it.
niether had a cheque in he sent her to open her choice while he stuck the cheque in the other one.
its all staged like david blaine.

No i missed it how did he predict the lottery? If it was anything like the piano player one I saw a while back it will be total bollocks.

He had a t.v and showed the lottery live then wrote down the numbers that came out and compaired them to ones he had wrote down which where the same!

Apparantly he's showing how he did it on friday.

And all his stuff is not fake. When he played the chess grandmasters was genius.

its an illusion not magic he didnt show you the numbers before they drew em because he DIDNT know the numbers before they drew em it had nothing to do with legal rights to the BBC hes not drawing the numbers is he, he is only telling you what they are gonna be so why not tell us before they drew em, Also dont you think Camalot would of now ceased trading if he was gonna show us all how to win the lottey ?????????
I will admit dErren Brown is a top illushionist one of the best we will ever see in our lifetime but remember the word illusion
He has given the illusion he can predict the lotto numbers

How can Camelot lose. 50% of the pool is deducted from any payouts. It would just mean the "jackpot" being a lot less. Apparently at least 10,000 people per draw pick 1,2,3,4,5,6 which if it ever came in would pay peanuts. The only way to win above the average is to pick numbers above 31 because people often use birthdays to choose their numbers.

Changing the topic a little, has anyone seen his artwork? It's almost better than his magic.

Back on topic, I figure that he probably used a method of display like e-ink that covers the surface of the balls so they could be modified after the draw. A very good illusion.
