Darren Brown (Derren)

If you look at the balls before he turns them around, there is a black 'line' across the top of them. It has to be some sort of printing thing?
When he goes behind the balls his suit camoflages this 'line' and he appears to pick it up and hide it behind the card he is holding.
Thats my theory anyway!

I didn't see the show, but was it a variation on the pencil lead under the thumbnail trick ?

I think we worked it out over on another forum, if you look, there is quite a bit of camera wobble throughout, which freezes totally, once as the first number is called out by the adjudicator, and again just after the draw has finished and derren is speaking, but it is only the camera wobble that totally stops momentarily, the rest of the broadcast continues to play, so we think that it is in fact filmed in split screen, and the freezing is the spplit screen being switched on and back off again so that during the draw what we can see is derren and the tv on the stage, but the stand that the balls are standing on is actually an identical shot from earlier, which allows someone to walk on and write the numbers on the balls as they are being drawn, the camera shake was added afterwards to add that live authenticity.

It was done well, but not quite seamless.

Oh yeah, and jeff, why must you be such a thrush (see irritating c-nt) all the time, if you just left g alone im sure he will do the same in return, all this bitching on here is just fucking pointless tbh.

I've seen it on Youtube now and it is really load of old cods. How convenient that he was not allowed for legal reasons to reveal the numbers BEFORE they were drawn

.

Producing the numbers after the draw is something any competent stage magician could do.

he has really let his standards drop with this one. I dont think the truth will come out friday, he wont want to look like like paul daniels who quite frankly could of done this one himself.

I cant wait for this weeks show, he reckons that he can use the power of his mind through TV to get anyone watching stuck in there seat so they can't get up, i only hope that if it works, he reverses whatever he does, as i dont fancy sleeping on the couch forever!

i can see it being to do with subliminal messages.

I predict he's going to make the whole of london sit down in front of the TV and then mug them off with a bad explanation while raking in the cash.
Yeah thats his next trick but hey! It'll probably be true this time
