What complete and utter tripe, a camera trick followed by a hour of BS. I was expecting some surprise at the end but there was nothing. He could have at least come up with some semi convncing explanation that would spark more debate. I've heard he's quite good from friends that have seen him, but I've got no interest in seeing any of his other stuff after this.

I wonder hoe many people will believe it and start up prediction evenings?

LordoftheDance · 11-09-2009, 21:10

Well I'm obviously the odd one out then (along with Richie) a I thought it was incredibly entertaining. I even had my hands over my eyes during the 'stamping on styrofoam cups' sequence.

Great showman, great show.

Hasn't he often done stuff that shows that most people are easily led morons, that's the fun of it! He led us all on! He's a karma chameleon!

He didn't lead on a lot of people on here as people know that it wasn't a prediction.

Of course he led us all on! We all watched on Wednesday, debated it for 2 days and all watched again tonight! Job done!

Yup, me too!

Lead on though implies that people were wrong in the first place

cjanderson · 11-09-2009, 21:15

well he made us watch his tossy show and then vow not to bother again, so thats an achievement.

most of us would have been impressed by a camera trick or mirrors. and probably you can do some average to get near the balls one week (have a load of volunteers, on lots of weeks, do some averages, agree you can have numbers +-1 and reversed and wouldn;t take too many to get a group who is near the numbers.

he had such huge expectations and he's just blown it totally by and not impressed anyone. why bother to tune into any of his reveal shows if he doesn't reveal if in a clever Jonathan creek way?

That's a shame, because I think his other stuff is pretty damned good. Just wipe this tripe from your mind and give him another go.

lardarse · 11-09-2009, 21:16

He kept saying during the show he did not break the law.

Surely breaking and entering is a criminal offense.

I hope the **** rots in ******* prison.

LastoftheFraggles · 11-09-2009, 21:16

Well, that was crap.

Was hoping he was going to come clean at the end at tell us of course you can't predict the lottery.

Don't ever remember his magic being so transparent, at least his coin toss thing seemed like it was actually real maths but the way it was presented on the show was misleading.

And most won't be watching the next three weeks based on that load of old tripe. Don't think that was part of his plan.

Sadly the whole thing smacked of someone who is running out of ideas. That's the last thing I'd have expected of DB.

I like the way he dismissed the split screen theories as ''advanced technology''.

Yeah, sure it is.

Of course they will, there's nothing else on!

(and it's not like any of us here have one of those life thingies!)

No he didn't. He mentioned advanced technology, you've chosen to interpret that as him referring to spilt screen.

Yetiboy · 11-09-2009, 21:23

Nah, I liked it too. I thought it hilarious - its all been a big con, quelle surprise. There will be people out there who will try to get syndicates going to automatic write the numbers.
