This.

Damn great hour, I really enjoyed the rise of tension throughout the show followed by a fake explanation. He's certainly the showman !

fuck this guy. i'm through with him and this thread.

I think Pennywise was just being facetious with his response. Basically the hour's reveal was that he didn't reveal how he did it (well apart from him 'not' fixing the balls at the lottery hq himself, but that was the final misdirection of the night)

the english are clever

People really are stupid aren't they. Man, I suddenly don't give a fuck that people exploit them. I wish I was Derek Acorah or Jonathan Edwards

he always does this - the explanation is less likely than what actually happened, which he still hasn't told us i reckon

i knew somthing was up with the digital shaking of the camara.

this link explains how the camera trick works in detail, it sounds very likely to be the right explanation

re-quoted for those that missed it a few pages back

yeah this is pretty much it

what was the explanation?

from somewhere

If you watch carefully you can see that a moon-walking guy in a bear suit replaces the balls one by one. We are distracted from this by the flashing colours on the widescreen telly and indeed our own desire to own a widescreen telly.

wow gordo you really saved this thread there

gmfl

golf man fires lasers ?

good mothers fabricate lies

Gordoed my fucking life.

there is also GMFW

Which is: Gordoed my fucking wife.

usually it's GFMW

fucking LOL.

watched this last night. the explaination was obviously guff, more likely was that he fixed it with weighted balls, but probably not. so we're left with a camera trick? that sucks. i don't believe it was a camera trick. just isnt cricket. maybe he'll bring it back in future shows.

is there another event tonight?

the people who chose the number were so gullible. i'd be so sceptical throughout, probably why he chose them i guess.

"deep maths" made melol

also i thought derren was gay but he says at one point "the bonus ball is for women and gays" wtf?

heh, i lol'd at david mitchell last night;

I'd go with the latter part of that sentence.

Most probably.

Yep.

He is.

So erm, yeah.....

maybe its like the N word. hes trying to reclaim it.

camera trick doesn't seem his style. but maybe after thinking about it for too long he went crazy.

it was weird how he stood looking at the screen with his hand over his mouth. very suspicios

So, did anyone get stuck to their sofa?!

That was probably one of the worst tv shows i have ever seen

I thought it was all good until the end, I particularly liked the giraffe in Hamley's. I just think you had to be stupid or gullible for the final trick to actually work.
