'Mind reader' will predict UK Lotto numbers on show WednesdayPrevious TopicNext Topic

So-called "mind reader" Derren Brown is to perform his most audacious stunt yet — predicting the lottery results on his British TV show.

The television personality plans to forecast the Wednesday night draw as it is screened live on BBC1.

And the bearded illusionist will rattle lotto chiefs by telling viewers how to do it. Sadly, Derren will be filmed at a secret location as he predicts the balls tumbling out of the National Lottery machine — when it's too late for lottery players to buy a ticket.

Derren, 38, is so confident of success he has convinced Channel 4 chiefs to screen the stunt live across all its channels including FilmFour and More4.

They have also given him another show on Friday night where he will give hints on how its done.  A show insider said, "Derren is extremely confident he has worked out how to predict those magic balls.

"Of course the thing with this is not just the excitement of him doing it — but the fact he'll tell people how to do it.

"Magicians famously never give up their secrets and are frowned upon if they do.  And the lotto bosses won't be happy if he really has found the secret to predicting the National Lottery."

The stunt is one of four "events" Derren has lined up.  Some are so secret even senior execs at Channel 4 don't know what they are.

Next week's show How to Control The Nation could see thousands of viewers unable to get up from their seats after watching a special film.  Derren recently said, "A piece of media which will be played to the viewing nation will have the effect of rendering them immobile.  Not all of them, but it will basically stick a lot of people to their seats.  It's safe."

Derren once played a game of Russian Roulette live and also convinced a member of the public to rob a security van.

But the new show could be a trick — just like Séance filmed in 2004 which implied it was being shown live.

Derren revealed at the end of the programme that the séance had been a set up.  Let's hope Derren's remembered to buy a lotto ticket before Wednesday's show at 10:35 pm.

Wow, I am going to play these number in the mega Million. Thanks,  7,11,16,23,35,37,46 I have to eliminate one, so I think it will be the last number which always falls in the Bonus ball.  Let's see how it goes! for Tonight.I am on my way to the Store right now.

If Derren Brown is a "mind reader", who's mind is he reading to get the numbers?  Maybe he should expose that person.

Marcie, you can't play these #s for Mega Millions because they are 7 numbers NOT the limited 6 numbers.

I'ved heard people say those ping pong balls have minds of their own; maybe that's the minds he will attempt to read.
