    …the competition had fake pages and the use of code searching came in very handy. In relation to the Derren advert it seems similar, yet no mention of a direct competition exists but what if you do as he says and “You know where to look” there could just be something there. I could just be rambling on and my paranoid conspiracy mind has taken over again Ha Ha Ha but i believe that there is more to it than just and advert and a tv show.

    so far i have made notes of everything on this site that might have anything to do with it. my theory is that after last nights change to red and black text on adverts for the whole of big brother, ending after they reported “technical difficulties” (coincidence or are the difficulties derren taking over) during this week running up to the events, little subliminal messages will keep popping up.

    ok ill share, i dug deep into the websites now on foward splash i researched the source code and found a code of numbers hidden in the source, now i copied to google and it seemed to convert it to text, it discovered to be a url to an audio file which is crazy it tells you the lotto numbers and alot of other weird kl things
    this is what i found on foward splash

    which translates in english to –> http://rapidshare.com/files/274102393/borderwrenn.wav.htm

    @Jordan – can you not specify how to find this hidden audio file? I respect your right to privacy etc but i for one would have idea how to find it and i really want to be able to dig deeper too!!

    Damnit! I knew I was slow again! I just looked in the source code and found that, copied it to google, then got the website then it told me the limit for downloads had been exceeded!

    Then I read your comment just now! Any way you could upload the audio file?

    I’m mega gutted!

  12. mary

    oh yeah. wav cant be found now tho. arghgle!!

    anyone noticed that when the little girl lets go of the balloon a magic puddle suddenly appears in front of her?

  14. LairyT
    03 September 2009

    Yeah I got some ‘help’ and found the audio file but it says the download limit has been reached – which is pants. I found the weird numbers in the page source myself but had no idea what they were for until my ‘helper’ came along. I sat there for ages looking for a pattern in the bloomin’ sequence, duh! I just wanted to hear the numbers really as have an idea of what they are but wanted ‘confirmation’.

    Also while I was trawling the blog a week or so ago I came across a post from DB saying he was in a casino in Manchester with the guy from ‘The Real Hustle’ filming for an upcoming series. Well that kinda ties in with The Events doesn’t it………….

  15. liverehearsals
    03 September 2009

    so only ten people actually know what the message is on the audio file anybody fancy telling us all?

  16. JayKay

    What does the backwards voice say at the beginning of the ad?

  17. JayKay

    On the events/comp entry video that is.

    03 September 2009

    I managed to get hold of the file off rapidshare yesterday and I’ve been puzzling over it for a whole day, has anyone else who got it figured anything out from it?!

    @mary – did you get that from the clip or are there references to witches somewhere else?

    Sorry if I’ve said too much!

    How come when you press “Set as background” on the background of “StuckToMySofa.com” (the part with all the mini derrens), the background is just red lines, and the derren heads dissapear (not very good with pc’s sorry).

    One of the lucky ten downloaders was kind enough to post the wav: http://domz.co.uk/view/Derren-Brown-The-Events-Forward-Splashcom-Borderwrennwav-6-10-25-32-47

    I was thinking it might have had some back masking, but that doesn’t appear to be the case (text to speech).

    😮

    found this while searching for the events

    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/tvandradio/6128688/Derren-Brown–will-incapacitate-viewers.html
    (sorry if im not alowwed to post this)

  23. Paul B
    03 September 2009

    @scott : that’s because the background is just made up of a number of those ‘red lines’. When you put them all together, they make the collage effect of all the derren heads – the background is lots of those lines next to each other – it’s not one big picture.

    It should still work though if you want it as a background, you’d just need to set the bg.jpg to tile all over your background, it should work.

    My local pizzerea does a Derek Accorah Pizza – cheese, with lots of ham.

    It’s available in small, fake medium or large.

    Well, if it’s all down to playing about with computer code, then it’s all way over my head. Codes? I don’t know my S.O.S from my A.S.S!

    There are lots of bits and bobs to play with underneath the competition entry/events video. But it’s all gobbeldygook to this technothicko.

    And there was a bit in the Telegraph today about the ‘Stuck to My Sofa’ episode.

    Stuck to my sofa? I just must have a dirty mind or something…

    I have tried to access the audio file that appears in google when I paste in the numbers from the forward-splash source code and just get the following error message:

    This file is neither allocated to a Premium Account, or a Collector’s Account, and can therefore only be downloaded 10 times.

    This limit is reached.

    To download this file, the uploader either needs to transfer this file into his/her Collector’s Account, or upload the file again. The file can later be moved to a Collector’s Account. The uploader just needs to click the delete link of the file to get further information.

    V clever, but also v frustrating, I thought that I had cracked something. Is there something i can do to listen to the file?

    Isn’t this exciting!!

    If you want to hear the audio file, it can be found (with a transcript) over at my blog http://www.domz.co.uk – as well as some other articles I’ve written about The Events. I’d love some feedback, or if you fancy writing an article on something you’ve found/your ideas feel free to email me at domz@me.com

    @Jordan & Alistair: are you going to buy yourselves a lottery ticket?

    I just worked out how to get to the rapidshare site all by myself (didn’t even use google), but I am obviously far too late. Are you sure it’s lottery numbers he’s talking about? I can’t imagine how he could possibly predict those…

    Scott: that is because all the little red horns screwed up ….. it’s demon in the background .. that’s why .. now you know ..

    Mini derren’s? I’ll have a look to see what all those babies from Derren are doing there …

    @Domz – Great article, thanks. Now I really am confused! Plenty food for thought though.

  35. David G

    “@Berrnerd Row” That one sounds a little like ‘You’ll never get the clues now(?)’ if you play it backwards. 😉

    What links Ludwig with Malleus Maleficarum? 😉

    I had an enjoyable read of Wittgenstein tonight – thanks for that, Jordan! I even found a note of a joke about a man who wins the lottery after finding some numbers in the street, but can’t see how it relates to the Events. Maybe the moral is that you can always make out that you predicted the numbers correctly, even if you really didn’t have a clue.

    Don’t leave the next clue tonight, eh? I’m doing a charity walk and I’ll miss the fun again.

    I think I have found another website but im not sure so dont want to make a fool of myself by posting it. Has anybody else found anything? Feeling a bit hustled about this? or maybe green?

    you are all silly

    the ‘happenings’ will happen on the 09/09/09 (i think) and he will explain how he did it on the 11th (again, i think)

    @Luq the only thing I could find was a little criticism of the book :
    http://medievales.revues.org/document732.html
    Its in french but quite easy to understand and the google translation is also ok but it doesnt translate stuff like pourtant

  42. Julie

    This might be completely wrong but I’ll put it out there anyway.

    The pic that Derren posted where he is on a bus with some children, are they all twins? It’s difficult to tell because it’s blurry and they are all laughing and smiling but the two little girls in the middle look like they have very similar hair and the other boys look alike but like I said it’s hard to tell becuse they aren’t straight to the camera. Could be non identical twins?

    Just though as there has been lots of posts about twins, double, left and right sides etc. Also on the advert the woman with the long wavy hair and the man with briefcase appear twice. Presumed it was the smae people but could be twins?

    Then again I might be clutching at straws.

    Last comment-promise :-p

    If they are twins they’ll be nonidentical because the pair at the back are a girl and a boy I think.

    @ stacie, no ive not found anything else yet. could you share?
    you wouldnt make a fool of yourself!
    your obviously a lot smarter than all of us by finding something (even if its not correct)

    @stacie – think you might be on to something… i’ve been hunting for a “green” related site (on a hunch – we’ve seen red and blue sites already), but not come up with anything yet. I definitely think there’s at least one more site to find.

    If you’re not sure about posting it publicly, you’re welcome to get in touch on twitter… i suspect there’s a roulette theme somewhere (references to numbers, red and black, pockets, circles, etc).

    Cheers,
    Colin
