#DBMillion
****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.
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.
