Always start with the facts.
He didn't predict the lottery. He told you he would predict the lottery and after the lottery had been drawn he showed you some balls with the same numbers on them. And note that the 24 stooges weren't allowed to know what numbers they had predicted.
However he may actually have done it I think you could have rigged up an ink jet (or something similar - it could be done with a photographic transfer) in the craddle that held the balls and simply printed the numbers on as they came in. That sort of technology has been around for years.
But always go back to the facts.
He didn't predict the numbers until after we all knew them. So at the point he told you them he knew them from the BBC broadcast same as the rest of us. That's not that hard - I guess we could all do that (excepting that I don't watch the lottery so I might struggle)
So the question becomes how did he arrange for the balls to have the numbers on that we all knew anyway?
It could have been that they were prepared before hand ie predicted. Or it could have been that the numbers were added to the balls after the draw.
Give me a decent budget and some decent technicians and craftsmen and I think I could do what we saw - whether he achieved it the same way I do not know.
Why all the DB hate on here? He's worked long and hard at what he does and he does it well. If you take if for what it is, it's very entertaining. If you're worried about stupid people getting sucked in, you'd best find those stupid people and help them tie their shoe laces, cross the road and put corks on the ends of their forks etc.
Do I think he could manipulate me? I'd love to think I could resist what he does but in reality, I probably couldn't.
LOL, this guy explains it in laymans terms... 😉

Mainly because he's insulting our intelligence.
Well, I was a bit dissapointed with the show, but looking forward to next week to see if he can make me stick to my sofa (usually easily done with beer and munchibles!)
I am looking forward to the remote viewing episode and having been an on-line casino manager, will be interesting to see what "systems" he comes up with to beat a casino.

How is he doing that aracer ?
By forcing you to watch programmes/shows which you consider to be rubbish ? 💡
It wasn't until after I watched the friday show that I realised that he told everyone how it would be done before he did it: He said at the very start of the show that there were [u]two[/u] cameras in the room. We only seem to see the illusion through one camera. But he said there are two.
We (the TV viewers) weren't the ones participating in the illusion, the wednesday show was just a regular bit of tv trickery, nothing special about it, you get far more convincing TV illusions in an episode of Gordon Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares - convincing in the sense that nobody would even perceive of them as illusions.
It was the 24 people who were wholey convinced that they predicted the lottery numbers who were the ones that were experiencing an illusion, not the TV viewers. The lottery results going out on live TV were part of the illusion being presented to them.

i've been party to the tricks of several top magicians and have signed non disclosure agreements.
suffice to say that once you've seen one or two little pre show details the whole thing becomes blindingly obvious and that's live. it's even easier done on TV. doesn't make it any less fun to see though.
Just a point about the phoney "average of 24 people's guesses" system:
How would 24 people pick 1 or 49 as an average?
If 24 people picked 1 then the average would be 1.
If 24 people picked 49 then the average would be 49.
I hope that clears it up for you Graham. 🙂
In other words, the average of 24 people randomly choosing between 1 to 49 tends to be, rather unsurprisingly, centred around 25 and gets less and less likely as it gets further from that.
That must be the "deep maths" bit 🙄
I lost interest at the 'mouse in the box' stage. If he gave me the numbers in a sealed envelope two days before the draw & they were right, I might think he was good.
