[Froog]

by the way guys, its highly likely he will spin a yarn tonite about how he did it that is complete bullshit.

 

[Lili Marlene]

Did he molest you at some point froog? Is that what this is all about?

ok, that was lame. But you do seem to have a big chip on your shoulder about this froog. It's just a trick



anyway, here's the TRUTH

Yeah, it doesn't seem plausible to me either. All this 'I've been working on this for a year...' stuff. Er...a split screen?

maybe he just fucked about on the dole of his bangers for a year, hence the giddyness.

he made my innocence disappear.

 

[Froog]

seriously tho, just think its a lame trick from a previously good performer.

Can't see the videos in work but i reckon i will be dissappointed about his explination of how he did it. I watched the clip of him doing it and really can't see how it would be camera trickery. If it turns out to be i will be dissapointed. I don't think he should tell people how he did it.

YouTube - derren brown's lottery trick - possible solution

Sure why not? Thats the easist way to do it, why would he bother complicating it?

Any, I think he's a bit of a spa.. especially after watching all of these-

i just caught the last few seconds

"... it's a trick"

 

[Pedronimus]

He hypnotised the balls.

Those 20 people are going to be a syndicate no doubt next week.

 

[Goodbye]

Looking forward to getting stuck in my couch next week too...

LITERALLY!!!!! lollz

 

[Goodbye]

Fuck, I hate it when people type like that

Did he show the numbers they all picked before he ran his last average calculation? I got distracted.

 

[pissypants]

No. It's a plot hole really. He didn't show his rough-work for examination.
He said "I did the calculations because I didn't want them to know the numbers beforehand", put the balls in a tube, and then ran out to the studio to do the live prediction thing.

A pretty average show. The coin toss thing was interesting if true.
The foot knife thing was well done. He's done "wisdom of crowds" stuff before, but not to this extent.

I just saw the repeat btw.

really good book, but i don't remember anything in it about predicting lotto numbers... maybe because the whole concept is based on the benefits of divergent information / opinions, not predicting the fucking future through "automatic writing". sake.

If four basic conditions are met, a crowd's "collective intelligence" will produce better outcomes than a small group of experts, Surowiecki says, even if members of the crowd don't know all the facts or choose, individually, to act irrationally. "Wise crowds" need (1) diversity of opinion; (2) independence of members from one another; (3) decentralization; and (4) a good method for aggregating opinions. The diversity brings in different information; independence keeps people from being swayed by a single opinion leader; people's errors balance each other out; and including all opinions guarantees that the results are "smarter" than if a single expert had been in charge.

...not predicting the fucking future through "automatic writing". sake.

Automatic writing, is a genuine method for getting stuff out of your head from the subconscious mind. It's not a supernatural phenomenon - it's the same sort of ideomotor effect that makes ouija-boards "work" - i.e. the participants are actually generating the words, but are not aware that they are physically pushing the glass around themselves to do so.

 

[Milker]

oui-ja boards!! thats someones finger leading the group glass sold as spirit-influence....i failed to see the link twixt auto-writing and guessing the weight of a cow right in front of you...back then guessing a cows weight was like guessing taxi fare from here to rathmines...not that random.

the Blaine fella afterwards was cool crack
