Anyone see him "predict" the lottery numbers last night?

 

[2Pax]

Yea, I saw. Had he revealed his prediction before the actual 'live' lottery draw instead of after, I think I would have give him due credit.
I know he isn't permitted to reveal the numbers until after the BBC have, this is a very convenient cover-up technique he exploited.

Excuse my pessimism but the man is as genuine as Jordan's breasts.

Obviously it was a cover-up (though I guess the BBC/the lottery might have requested it as well) but it still doesn't explain how he pulled it off.

And don't say "split-screen".

Are you saying he doesn't REALLY have magical psychic powers? :amazed:

 

[2Pax]

I am genuinely intrigued as to how he managed such a feat. The amount of people who I know who believe he has mystical properties is a joke. Fair play to the guy for making a bit of a career for himself and he does have a hypnotizing (excuse the pun) stage presence. What do you reckon in regards to how he managed it? I smell the use of pre-recordings and time delays.

 

[Illuminattile]

Well the consensus is that he did this.

But I'm not convinced he'd use such a basic camera trick. Anyone could do that, and he's said in the past that he doesn't like that kind of thing.

Plus, how would he stretch that explanation out over an hour show?

 

[2Pax]

^Certainly a plausible explanation, seems very cheap though. You can actually see the left hand side of the screen freeze for a second or two around the 5:50 mark.

If this is indeed how he done it, I doubt he'll admit to it on Friday. He'll probably conjure up some cock and bull story about premonitions or some crap.
