****Competition has now closed****
If you follow Derren on Twitter you may be aware by now that he has just passed the one million follower mark.
To celebrate the occasion, DB has devised an ingenious competition with the prize being a trip to The Ivy in London for dinner with Derren.
Watch the video below for full details (Your entry must be made via Twitter, not in the comments below!):
****Competition has now closed****
Derren: Number was 758 031 (looked at my Mac and noted time & date when I thought of competition & needed a number. 7:58 on 3 Jan).
Found a few that are close. Will keep looking later & announce winner.

Hi Derren.
I am not mad enough to have a twitter account but i thought i would send you my guess anyway. I think its 141110. These are the numbers in order that you said during your video obvious number I no but I thought I would give it a bash.
I hope you take my guess into consideration although am not a follower on twitter I am on Facebook and a massive follower of your work. Hope you are well and had a superb Christmas and New Year.
Kind Regards
Alastair

Looks like it’s time I made a twitter…the number is 1,044 by the way. I can’t enter cause I’m not in London. But I’m 100% sure that’s the number.
The number is 80
Im not on Twatter so cant be bothered to enter, and the Ivy is too posh for me. Prefer KFC
Much love x
See that bit up there where it says to answer via twitter and not the comments section? Yeeeah…….
10120
1847
798846 would be my guess but as I am not on twitter but follow you on fb it wont be counted
Never mind, I hope whoever wins has a fantabulous time.
Much love
Sherrie

I’ll buy you dinner! Don’t make me join Twitter…please

hmm. there must be a better way to peruse through results than manually digging through tweets! I’m sure there are services or tools that will scrape twitter search results for you.
Msg from Abeo: There are, and we shall be using them

Hello there!
Unfortunatelly I’m from Poland and arrival to London would cost me much more than you may think.
Even then I really enjoy your person, books and movies.
) “4 steps” and “1 guess”
I have thought also that your short YT film is a clue to guess the right number.
I suppose it’s not only numbers called by name, but even these hidden in names like “January”.
So my proposition is:
128041
“January”, “February”, “80 – euro for travel” (or 18? you’re too native speaker for me
You did repeat of “1 guess” twice as if it could be doubled, but I’d rather ommit it for place of these two months said at the beginning
Have a nice day!
And good luck!
Peter from Poland
333,444
I think 29
Am i the only one hearing him say “Coops, that’s my sister.”?
Applied through twitter though!
Let my friend know aswell!
Done. I’ll be in England all January and some days in February. If I don’t win, which is highly probable, at least I’ve got tickets for your show so I’ll see you anyway.
34,501 I think i posted it the wrong place at first, here it is again!
awh man Im irish, only 17 AND mad!!! Jeez Derren!! awh no but i guess 12012
113
). Cheers and, of course, CONGRATULATIONS!
Seems like the number that has been following me through all theese years, so maybe there is a reason for that (I was NOT diagnosed mad if you really want to know
Six by nine. Forty two.”

PS. Since my captcha code is 2D25 and took me like a bazillion times to enter it correctly I stand corrected myself. Is 50.
#DB MILLION 11,022 is my prediction,just purchased your new book today
I’m amazed at the number of numpty commenters who can neither read, nor listen to, simple instructions…!
#DBMillion my guess is 1181111
Hi Derren, I’m a French man living in phnom Penh with no intention on visiting your country. Nevertheless I have great respect for your work, and your approach to your field. Congratulation for the tweeter thing and keep making interesting shows. Just for the heck of it: 112358
Done! Can’t imagine what it would be like if I actually won. I’d probably faint. Made a twitter account just so I could enter, lol!
Too bad I live in Australia (but cheers for the shout out!). I’m thinking that higher numbers are less likely to be picked. Plus generally you are suppose to avoid 3 and 7 because most people pick that right? So I’m guessing 681,005. Not that this is a valid entry but…
im not too fussed for dinner but i am a massive fan. im guessing the number is 6
876,87650, If I don’t win i’ll book the table next to you. fingers crossed.
Ahhhh I have these security codes 876,876.50
Tweeting is for birds.
How about a meow from Seattle?
The numerological equivalent of DB MILLION =
90
Me: I wonder if by covering travelling expenses he means I could fly over from Australia…
Derren: I don’t really want to be flying you over from Australia as well.
I guess that’s why he’s Derren.
#DBMillion32
Err….didn’t he say on the video “through twitter only”?
I live in the US so I get to participate either.
Didn’t you listen? Derren said submit entries via Twitter…….pah!
18 and over? Aww, but surely if Derren starts with the latest and works backwards, the best way to make sure you’re counted is to enter a minute before the deadline?
the number is 5633 !!
see you
Might a suggest that an easier way to go about finding the winner would be to restrict your search to #DBMillion and the first three digits of the number (the no. of digits precision can be altered depending upon the number of results although it is important to consider alternate spellings such as using a comma e.g. 256,457)
Here’s an example search to show what I mean https://twitter.com/#!/search/197%20%23DBMillion Three digits should work so long as the no is > 99,999 and seems to be a good density of results with the current number of entries
more casual Derren please
also, i really need to hear OMC from How Bizarre fame say the word “twitter” before i die
The number is 1112 – Happy New Year
I am mental so even if you did accept this comment as a legit entry you would want to pass me by for your own good.
Anyway I would feel far to self conscious having lunch with you in a public place. If you fancy a take away at yours or mine and you are happy to dine with a fruit loop then by all means drop my number in the hat.
I am not mad on Kebabs though.
I don’t think he would put the answer subliminally in the video or else he would have 1 million correct answers! Unless he wants a rest for the evening so will pick a person not giving that answer and therefore resistant to mind control suggestions so he can have a night off and a real conversation for once.
I would like to learn how to do what you do can you teach me
damn it!
I live in Holland, if it wasn’t for that stupid sea it would be a 2 hour drive from here (Tilburg) to London. Life isn’t fair!
Being underage sucks , doesn’t it ? :’(
Damn!…Only 16 and I have no idea how to use twitter
But just for the fun of it…I think the number is…..210995
I can’t imagine Derren being as boring enough to not have ANY clues… Nevertheless, I’m making 1,000,000 twitter accounts… It’s worth it :L
i’m only 16
but i’ve seen everything of your’s, i have followed you on facebook and i check your website every now and again as i dont have twitter. i have seen you only once live as i can’t afford anything else lol. i have one of your books, trick of the mind, and have read it but again need money to buy your other lol. life long dream to meet you in person if i had it i would pay millions to just speak to you. how unfortunate. guess is 33 tell me if i’m close 
im only 12 im not old enough to enter (and no im not mad) but i think its 4 coz it was something to do with subliminal messaging as he said ‘or if you will… forehead’. im probably wrong and under age but i still think 4.
Just gone for a silly answer #DBMILLION what the hell!
Bet it’s not 100,120.12
Never mind lol, found them on the vid. I think it might be ‘four’ because of the way he said ‘forehead’, but that
could be a red herring, knowing Derren…
Anyway am off to join twitter and enter proper =)
first mumber poped in my head is 27 but may be 4… i’ll stick to 27
40042 or 68
I admire your fascination of enlightened understanding and dedication of your own pursuit of knowledge
may you experience a great year ahead, a year that has always existed
867-5309 I got it, I got it!!
Oh wait, that is one too many digits,..
I’m from the USA, but would fly over to have dinner with Derren,..
errmmm, 1,000,000? If a tomato is a fruit does that make ketchup a smoothie….mmmm
#DBMillion 242617
Fingers cross!
Ah, like about 5 other people, I thought it was going to be 184511:
Derren says:
“over 18 (that’s important)”
“…that eliminates about 4/5 of you”
“You get 1 guess… 1 guess…”
758022, i hope i’m close…would love this
Just realised it was closed…awww
Just wondering if you’ve ever worked with agoraphobics, or any other phibias. Channel 4 did a programme on trying to treat agoraphobics a few years ago and as a recovering agoraphobe, i have to say it was dismal and offered no hope to anyone suffering with this condition. Could you do any better? After a lot of reasearch, i reckon you could do it quite easily. You should consider it for a show…. Seriously
Research even…should have spell check on my (supposed) smart phone
As i watched the VID i couldn’t help but think that the number would be hidden in it. and now since the competition is over and the number is known here’s what i thought. On the card that says # DB MILLION the # is 7(thought it might be 4 or 7 but i thought of 7 first), D is 5 (5th letter of alphabet), B is 8, M is 3 and I is 1. I think he marked the start and end of it with his fingers. Couldn’t figure out where the 0 came from but then again this all might not make any sense and he could have just gotten the number from time and date =)
Identify a pre-selected number between 1 and 1,000,000. Hummm… While we’re playing mission impossible Derren. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is as follows: Code name Experiment. Part, the Deux.
Given that an MRI scanner can, by virtue of the reduced mental activity revealed, demonstrate that an individual is recalling incidents from memory. Rather than constructing a scratch-built narrative. Could hypnotism nullify that give-away effect?
No pressure. But the future of the species may possibly depend on failure.
p.s. If you’re ever on a vessel and the Captain says, “Cast off forehead”. Get off quick.
I wonder how many people actually sent their guesses and what is the average guess… Any hope you will be publishing some data?
Sorry, I did not see the card :/
Perhaps another time.
