According to the Mirror – It could be a load of old balls, but illusionist Derren Brown reckons he’ll predict the Lottery numbers live on TV just minutes before the draw. In a 10-minute Channel 4 special on Wednesday, broadcast at the same time as BBC1’s National Lottery Live draw, Brown will try to PICK the six numbers correctly.

The mind-bending performer promises to reveal his technique to viewers in an hour-long follow-up programme on Friday. Brown, 38, admits: If this one goes wrong, it could be a career-breaker. Wednesday nights jackpot stands at £2.4million, but C4 bosses have banned Brown from buying a ticket. (But not ME – tee hee – PD)
Last night he told the Mirror: "

I realise there are a lot of questions this brings up and I hope they will be answered on the Friday night follow-up show. For now, Im really excited and really nervous.".

Check the DerrenBrown blog for an update on the subject from the man himself, plus a video of him juggling that is somehow in no way comedic. [Yes, I was confused too]



I love this man too much. Far too much. "Channel 4 may have banned him from buying a ticket, but what about his mam?" is all I have to say!



Do you think he'll do it? To our feeble mortal minds it may seem inconceivable, but for some reason my faith in DB prevails - and I think he can! Penny for your thoughts?
