How exactly has he "proved time and time again he's a big fake"?

He's always said from day one that what he does isn't magic. Which is where he differs from all the other people out there who are just in it for the con. He freely states that what he does is psychology, reading people, illusion, misdirection, suggestion and sometimes mathmatics. His 'tricks' are simply a man, who is extremely intelligent, applying his intelligence. He even shows you at the end how he does it to prove that anyone is capable of it with enough practise and application. Watch his live show 'Something Wicked this Way Comes', it's brilliant.

He's a modern illusionist. Plain and simple. Just enjoy it.

Remember David Copperfield, he didn't really walk through the great wall of china or make a train disappear.

Also wrestling isn't real,

missed it due to work did he actually say the numbers BEFORE the draw was made??

Guess so wouldnt work otherwise would it

No because due to legal reasons the BBC had to be the first to announce the numbers, he had 5 balls faced away from the tv camera on a stand and after the numbers were read out on BBC he turned the stand round and they were the exact numbers that had just been read. It will probably be somewhere on youtube now if you wanna see it yourself

'Derren Brown wins Lottery jackpot for 10 consecutive week'

I like how people are complaining that the guy is a fake, what were they expecting real magic?

Guess you have never won the lottery,

Well its quite obvious as you only seem to be picking 5 numbers

how dare you, mods lock this/ delete this before Slim junior sees this

Its fair enough saying he is a fake, he isnt a fake he is an illusionist.

Its not real psychic powers, he is going to explain how he did it on Friday.

If there was a way of doing it do you really think he would share it with everyone?

My guess would be that it was a split screen where the left hand side of the screen was a static image then when the numbers were being drawn an assistant wrote the numbers on the balls which nobody would see, when the draw had finished they replaced the left hand side static picture with live pictures.

If you watch it again, Derren Brown never moves from the right hand side of the screen until after the draw, if he had done he would have probably dissapeared.

i think this too.. noticed that he never moved but the camera seemed to twitch a few times

I thought he was a class player, he had a great kicking and passing game for a second row, he filled in at 6 time and time again for Salford as well.

what about maybe the numbers being projected onto the balls after they are known?

the guy must be loaded...but if he can predict the lotto numbers why does`nthe wait till theres a treble rollover..get someone in his family to put the thing on and jobs a good un...retire...

He said he had spent the past 12 months of his life trying to figure out a way to do it though so I doubt it's as simple as projecting numbers onto balls. Also can't see channel 4 giving 1hr of their time up on a friday night to explain how they managed to beam some numbers onto a couple of balls

Will be interesting to see how he did actually do it.
