Derren Brown will attempt to predict the lottery results

[Josedinho]

But between those things happening 6 balls are drawn and he doesn't move or say a thing. Enough time for somebody to organise the balls while they are cut to the pre-recorded part and then when the bonus is drawn they go back to live and the balls have been sorted out. He writes them down and walks over. It'd have to be practised alot (but he said it's taken him a year) but it is not impossible.

Looking like it was done with a split-screen - as the balls are being drawn, only the right hand side of the screen is live, the side with the balls on is a pre-record, and someone puts the correct balls in, with the images being merged back just before Derren walks across to the balls.

Seems someone didn't put the left-most ball back in exactly the right place.

how is it fake? what is he trying to pretend to do? he is influencing what people do, think and say. Nothing more, nothing less.

Possibly yes, so just while the balls are drawn, about 45 secs i suppose

[DaveShoelace]

He is revealing all on friday, so the chances of it being any sort of split screen/writing on the balls as they are revealed jobby is very slim, because anyone with access to state of the art TV equipment could do that, even Paul Daniels. I have no idea how he did it, but having watched just about everything he has done, i doubt he has resorted to blatant camera trickery (now sneakier camera trickery perhaps)

What's the machine sitting behind the balls?  Probably irrelevant but it's jumping out at me.........
