    Derren Brown appeared to pull off his biggest stunt so far last night when he successfully predicted the National Lottery results.

    The illusionist claimed to have printed his prediction on six white balls earlier in the day and these remained in shot, but facing away from the camera, throughout the programme.

    After watching the live lottery announcement on BBC One, Derren walked across to the six white balls and turned them around to reveal the correct numbers.

    So, how did he do it?

    Discussion boards are already rife with theories and speculation about how he managed to pull off the trick.

    One popular suggestion is that there was a slight time delay in the BBC's broadcast of the lottery draw and someone had given Derren the numbers just ahead of the broadcast.

    Others believe that the programme used a split screen effect which allowed someone to arrange the correct balls once the result had been announced.

    Or, perhaps the balls were sitting on a special device which printed the numbers onto them as soon as they were revealed on the BBC show?

    Derren claims to have spent a year working on this latest trick - did he simply work out a system where he could predict the numbers? And how can we get our hands on this information??

    All will be revealed in a special programme at 9pm on Friday night on Channel 4

    hmm, ill try to remember to watch that for tomorrow, but in all honesty, if he reveals how he does it, its not like any person will pull it off anyway....otherwise the lottery will be broke when a lot of ppl can apparently pull off the stunt and win lol
    but he is pretty amazing though
