Yes I totally agree he has properly checked which number comes out the most and wrote that down first in the hope that it does then wrote each number as it comes out.

He could have had the balls coated with a light sensitive substance and simply had the numbers projected on to the balls as they were chosen. what I dont know is what the substance is/was

If you have recorded it on u harddrive an as he walks to balls pause it, an rewind in slow u see the 1st ball at same level again, its 100% camera trickery. He did try the real things with the 24 ppls set of balls, why u think he did the sums b4 coming on live becuase he even tricked the 24 ppl that they did predict it. If only u had them ball spot on darren u could of said anything. U maze well be honest as its so easy tel the switch in reverse just like u advertisement. Shame u are a great bloke u just slipped up with that first ball.

There was no way he really did it using the guesses of 24 people.
Its really quite disappointing how he didn’t reveal the truth behind what he actually did.

Still got to keep watching the rest of the shows as he is still a very entertaining guy!

I’m divided on this - watched both the shows, of course, obviously as I mentioned when I wrote the article it is a trick. The deep maths theory Derren talked about is a blind and class DB misdirection.
The group averaging of numbers is correct and perfectly logical however it is based on something that is a known fixed price, i.e. like the guess the cow’s weight example he gave, and also needs either an item that is obvious and well known or a group of people who are reasonably familiar enough to make educated guesses.

Ask 24 people at an agricultural show how much a cow weighs and you’re onto something - ask 24 people in Manchester city centre and your average would be mile out due to hopeless spurious guesses.

I don’t believe it was a camera stunt, i.e. split screen etc. That would be beneath Derren I believe and would feel like a non-event, after all anybody could have come up with that.
The man’s a genius !

Thanks to all for taking the time to comment and feel free to continue to do so
All the best

if it were true, then the group of people who picked the numbers would always get together and never loose.
just why did we not see the numbers first adn then wait for the lottery numbers to prove him correct?

I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don’t know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.
