Anyone watch that last night?

How did he manage to get the right numbers for his lottery stunt illusion?

Well he did have a one in fourteen million chance of getting it right, so it's probably just luck.

I'm not sure but if I had to guess, I would say he definitely, definitely knew the numbers before they were announced... and it was in no way some sort of trick where he just managed to find a quick way of pretending that he knew them soon after the real draw was made.

I'll be really disappointed if it ends up being camera trickery. His tricks are usually a lot better than that.

I'm in no doubt that the balls that were there before the draw didn't have the numbers we saw at the end on them though. I also don't believe he'll spend an hour on Friday night telling us exactly how he did it. He might tell us one method to possibly do it or give away a bit of what he did, but he'll still leave something to the imagination. Or he'll use it all as a build up to an even bigger mindfuck.

it's part of a bigger series of 4 large scale misdirection events. so i'm guessing it was sleight of hand or some kind of misdirection.

i forgot about it last night so will have to watch it on 4od tonight.

Still seems the most likely tbh.

Either that or his suggestion at the end. Unbelievable. I love watching his stuff. The David Blaine programme on after was pretty good as well, those two guys blow my mind.
