Mmmmmmmm just watched this...

Anybody got any thoughts?

Obv the technique he used was good but if he can get an area where the ball was going to land why didnt he 5 x £1000 bets on?

Also, why 'steal' 5k in pounds and then bet 5k in euros.

It just felt like a staged event to me, so obv couldn't 'win' as then he'd have to pay out.

despite the fact it wasn't a real casino, i don't know many casinos that will take 5k straight up on a number where the roulette wheel is mounted on a trestle table.

I used to really like him but these last couple of tricks have been w*nk.

I thought it was awesome, much better that he didn't get it, makes it look very real.

I love Brown, that bit where he predicted the trajectory of the ball was class, and the bit he predicteds the speed of the Ford Car with his eyes shut, class
