1. Good luck ‘beardy-man’!
   I have set an alarm for 22:30 on my phone so i most definitely will not miss it. Shall watch ‘The Gathering’ afterwards too. Can’t wait =]

   x
2. Oh Dee Dee, why DO you do it to yourself?? I will be watching of course 🙂 x
3. We believe in you Derren! Bon courage!
4. I don’t know what you’re going to come up with tonight Derren but I’m 100% sure it will be a wonderful and memorable piece of entertainment. You are ‘The Master’ when it comes to illusion and no one can ever take that away from you…..Good Luck and bless you for just being ‘you’

   Sorry my friend… which part?/ lol put quite a lot there?

   If you’re referencing what I’m working on currently (nearly done… I think)

   I would make this example as a possible explaination to it:

   You know how they say:
   “Even the word Hopeless has Hope in it”?

   Welllll
   Similar thing for the word “Mentalist”… lol
   😉

   Still have to go pay my rent yet too 😮 I have allowed for that and various other things I need to ensure I pay for.

   (Never gamble more than you can afford to lose… Quite how I’m measuring my dignity within that equation, I don’t know).

   Peace People! 😛
6. It shall be a wonderful bout of trickery, I am sure. However, good luck in your performance! ^_^
7. Darren! Good luck 🙂 After I saw the bullet thing, I don’t think this could be any harder! Ha.
8. if it goes wrong just pretend you’re david blaine (gag).
9. Good Luck Derren!! I really wish I was in England to see you (for lack of a better term) kick ass tonight. You’re amazing.

11. @ ScreamingGreenConure

    Did you come up with that then???

    Please tell 🙂

    Peace People! 😛
12. you’ll do fine, and if you screw it all up, we’ll still love you anyway
13. On this occasion or event, perhaps I should say. The suggestion is more important than the outcome!

    Derren, Andy, Coops and Crew – Congratulations and thank you for the mind-bending entertainment I predict on tonight’s show, Friday and the anticipated pending shows to come. The greater illusion, is on the advertisement where Derren appears to be juggling!!! No apologies, necessary!

    Oh… and on a final note. Thank you for the postcard pack which arrived today – stunning detailed artwork and a wonderful reproduction print!
14. May I just remind you that you are Derren Brown. You don’t get things wrong! And even if this does go tits-up, we’ll still love you. You’ve got talent!
15. good luck derren! im such a huge fan. hope u do it tonight!!
16. I’m going to do it before you.

    7 12 18 24 27 42

    Apologies if I’ve just ruined your show. I’ll be even sorrier if these numbers come out and I don’t put them on.
17. I have all the faith in the world you will do this. And if you dont, oh well lol. Can’t win them all.
    You will still be the most amazing man in the world, and i will continue to think you are GOD.
    😀
18. hey derren just commented on the other post just thought i should say something on this on lol.
    your a master at what you do and the best mind/ illusionist there is. im sure you will be great like always best of luck. u are the master 😀 lol
19. @Mr Woolf – yeh, your ‘mentalist’ thing. Will we get to read it then?
20. of course you’ll be fine, youre a friggin genius : )
    but good luck anyway, not that you’ll need it x
21. Well if you didn’t go round telling everyone it’s a potential career breaker, you wouldn’t need luck would you… you could simply call it a bad day at the office like the rest of us would 😀
    Good luck though… and I’ll still tune into your subsequent shows even if it all goes pear-shaped.
    Come to think of it, should we be saying “break a leg” or is that too superstitious?
22. If all fails jazz hands, smile and walk backwards towards nearest exit! Only joking best of luck only i think we will all feel a little foolish for wishing you luck when the method is revealed! :D!
23. Good luck and just remember, if it all goes pear shaped look on the bright side…..
    At least I didn’t sue you for throwing a frisbee in
    my face! :-p
24. Awww Derren my sweetie don’t worry it’ll all be fine relax, take it easy , everything will be o.k I’m sure!!!

    I’ll still adore you no matter what honey (((hugs))) seriously even it all went wrong & people started to not watch you on tv anymore or see you live & slate you I’ll always stick by you hon 🙂

    I doubt it’d ever come to that though you are great at what you do!!!

    I’m positive it’ll go fantastically & if It doesn’t I’m happy to give you a hug (((hug)))

    good luck sweetheart you’re gonna do just fine I’m absolutely sure of it o.k!!!

    You go boy 😀

    Can’t wait for tonight 😀

    i bet you’ll be glad when it’s all over though bless you poor sweetie awww <3
25. Derren is just building tension and suspense. However he does it, its probabally foolproof. Or maybe he’ll purposly get it wrong and scold us on the evils of gambling.
26. I have every faith in you, you ming-bearded, mind-botherer
27. hope it works out tonight, i will be absolutely amazed.

    im also planning to predict the numbers myself tonight,
    although i think you have a higher chance 😀
28. @JayKay

    Errrrm…. Lol… you know what I’m so tempted to say yes it is quite amusing.

    I think regardless of how stupid I’ll look, why not eh? It’ll be some entertainment at my expense but hey some people might find it funny.

    Although 1st ‘draft’ is currently zipped (trying to preserve time date stamps etc) so some alterations that are going to be added in will have to be in a second copy of the zipped folder (same files just with bits added).

    There’s 2 .txt files currently… am wondering if pehaps i should take some screenshots for asthetics… even though most of you will have seen the sites already (Maybe not two of them though).

    *Sigh*
    you know, opening up myself for some ‘abuse’ here aren’t I really, but I guess it’s all in the ‘name of the game’….
29. You’ll be fine : D

    I’m playing along. So have fun : D
30. Well, none of us could certainly do it so we admire you for even trying!
31. Been reading the blog for a while, thought this was as good a time as any to post.

    Haven’t looked forward to a show as much as this in ages! No pressure though… 🙂
32. I take it my comment timed around 1:00pm was rejected because my theories on how this is done are correct 😀 or at least someone (whoever moderates this for Derren) thought this might give away to much and with that in mind I will not post the link to my theories on my forum but just say that if I am correct then Derren will get all correct but maybe 1 wrong to improve the realism of the performance.
    Good luck to you buddy,
    and once again I love your stuff it always gets my creative juices flowing.
    Looking forward to the reveal to verify my theories,
    Alan

    Msg From Abeo: No, We just don’t allow any kind of magicians trick spoilers or plugs to them.
33. @MrWoolf- Do you mean you have wriiten a whole essay on the clues etc, please do release it I would be very interested to read. As for me-oh my poor head- my little brain hurts!!! I thought I had the numbers sorted last week and then today I have discovered 6 more! If I dont win tonight whether it be 1p or 1000000 I think i might have to slit my wrists! xpeacex
34. I will say the number 32 (with what I have been piddling with) has occured quite a bit, and not just as a potential number to be drawn.
    O£ =32<— yes it's a hint…. can't back out now really can I, haha.
    But please people, DO NOT USE any new methods based around that hint.
    I'm not a greedy sod, I just have a feeling that it could just be plain WRONG and if it is…. I don't want people coming after me!

    I have found the colour green significant (again this could be and probably is just plain wrong)

    I have found a certain meaning to the Backwards stuff (tutt-tutt) although, it could also have a double meaning or just a single and my meaning is meaningless, lol.

    I also may have something drastically wrong with the actual betting, something on one of the sites is now worrying me, lol…
35. Good Luck Derren X I’m feeling nervous for you… at least you are not risk your life this time x
36. Ps- To Derren, Phillis, Coops, Abeo and the rest of the team-hope all goes well tonight and your hard work pays off (that is if it is down to hard work and not just some easy little trick drawn out to make us think the opposite) Forgive my suspicious mind :0) Big kiss.
37. Apologies for the dreadful English earlier…
38. These are the numbers you need.

    4 8 15 16 23 42

    Don’t mention it. My pleasure.
39. You know what, screw it… only live once (well, supposedly).

    And I’ll probably only get this one chance to make such a big prat out myself too anyway.

    I will also Email Phillis the zipped file but ask her to not look at it or reveal it until I’m ready…. or I may reveal it and have her as a kind of adjudicator, lol.

    How would you feel about that Phillis?

    @ Siobhán:
    Herro 😉

    argh ok…. now or never to blow some money… will do it online because I don’t trust those ‘sneeky shops’ .
    ahhhhh, miht not be any other way 🙁 bugger

    Msg from Abeo: Phillis is out running around trying to buy a lottery ticket 😛 You can send it to me if you want instead abeo@derrenbrownart.com 🙂
40. Life is too short for not breaking out and trying something madly brave once in a while-makes things interesting.
    If nothing else the whole nation has your name on their lips today- in the staffroom at work,on the radio,even my kids who think its gonna be ‘propa wicked’.Good luck I will be watching with interest xx
41. Hey, you’re an entertainer, right? I’ll be just as entertained if your earpiece fails and it all goes wrong, so you don’t need to worry. Best of luck!!
42. It seems to me that Derren will have far more impact to get it all wrong (on purpose). To get it hopelessly wrong will be far more shocking and dramatic than to get it right. We’d all be disappointed for him and eager bunnies to hear his explation for the cock up on Friday. That would be a great set up for the Friday show where he’d reveal something even more amazing that he predicted (incorporating the intentional mistake on the lottery numbers).
43. Don’t worry if you feel that you fail something that nobody else can do. You are not super human, you are an entertainer for the pleasure of all of us. What ever the outcome, you’ll have entertained us! But good luck anyway! We always have pleasure to see such a gorgeous man like you on TV…
44. Good luck Derren!

    I hope it goes alright for you, it sounds like it’s going to be totally killer anyway and I have faith in youuu

    haha.

    I can’t wait for later on tonight and the rest of the series.

    Take care,

    Sophie

    🙂
45. What’s even funnier about this is It’s all just been a mad rush as i didn’t spot the obvious stupid mistakes…. probably messed it up now even if I can get them on in time…. duh 😉

    well wish me luck…. been a few last minute/second changes in it all so god knows what the 2nd draft will look like now 😛

    I iz dumb lol.
    😛

    bbs, possibly without any tickets… guy said 7 😮 probably save me losing haha.

    Peace people! 😀
    x
46. Good luck tonight! Can’t wait to see the show.

    If it goes wrong we’ll still love you!
47. We’ll still love you if it does go wrong, but i doubt it will, and i doubt you need it but GOOD LUCK!!!
48. Don’t worry if you feel that you fail something that nobody else can do. You are not super human, you are an entertainer for the pleasure of all of us. What ever the outcome, you’ll have entertained us! But good luck anyway! We always have pleasure to see such a gorgeous man like you on TV…
49. Hm … remember the good times huh? Nah … you transferred the winning numbers to me …. if they turn out not to be the correct numbers …. then .. erm .. I will torture you with my normal self …

    22 something? I thought it was 9 something?
50. Best of luck for tonight. It’s always good to have Derren back on TV. I have no doubt that tonight will be amazing.
