    Not much point

    if he can only do it as it's being drawn and the sales have closed

    Total B*ll*cks.

    If he could do that, then he'd be the richest man alive.

    I think you're missing the point

    The question is how he made it look like he did it.

    RE: I think you're missing the point

    He didn't really do anything though. He said he was going to predict the results for the lottery, but he didn't. A prediction, by definition, comes before the result. We got Derren's so called prediction after the result. Had we got it before it would have been ******* amazing. The fact that we got it after just means you're looking for camera tricks or slights of hand that got those balls to read the right numbers, a trick that I'm sure could have been performed by any number of different conjurers in a multitude of elaborate ways. I guess no one else has tried it because, to be honest, it didn't make very good television. Maybe the reveal on Friday will be more astonishing than the actual trick.

    Agreed.

    I've noticed in a lot of the things he does he seems to 'confirm' his prediction after the event. The programme last night had someone reading a piece of paper with his prediction on after they'd done something.

    It was ****, but it's got people talking. I'm geussing that's all C4 want as the ratings for the show tomorrow will be massive.

    I'm not saying it was brilliant

    Just that whether or not he really did "it" was not the point that people were discussing.
