The Events
Back home now, 3 am. The Events are now over and I want to thank everyone who tuned in over the last few weeks. Along the way, 20 million viewers tuned in – far more than any of us ever imagined – and I hope most of you enjoyed the shows. It’s been a real ride: I’ve had loads of fun making them, though I’m still reeling from tonight’s escapade. I called Ben as soon as I could and he doesn’t hate me, so I can sleep tonight.
Thank you again, all of you who watched or even took part in the interactive elements. Loads of love, and sweet dreams.

unlucky mate you should try again and use your winnings to pay off that other guy who lost the £5k

Hiya Derren, Thanks for a great series (what are we going to do on Friday nights now??) even one out shows considerable skill whichever way you planned it! 🙂
You WILL help a small charity
You WILL give your services
You WILL perform in a tiny theatre
You WILL contact us
Did it work?
Love Andy
aww,i wont look forward to fridays as much now derren:(
cant wait till november then:-D
WELL DONE , One off is not bad cant wait to come and see your live show in 2010 birmingham. looking forward to ur next show!!
You don’t put that much effort into something like this only for it to not work as intended. Of course he wanted to miss by 1, that was the whole idea. The whole show was designed to draw you in, to make you feel as if it was your money on the table and that after all that work, and what he’d done before, there was no way that Derren could get it wrong.
And then the sucker punch. He does get it wrong. A nice touch with the cheque ready outside of the van. It’s the perfect illustration of how a gambler feels – how they think they can beat the system, only for reality (and probability) to bring you crashing back to Earth.
I bought it, he had me convinced he’d nail it.
I agree with @Danny. Surely just a ploy to make some people wonder if actually it was all real. Some really excellent stuff in this series, but in my opinion the weakest one hes done overall (bit like the Enigma live show actually – really great, but not up to usual standard)
Wait — what about the snowflake??
Derren, I hope you aren’t kicking yourself too hard. The show was entertaining; what more could we wnat? 🙂 And now you don’t need to be worried about being burned as a witch!
Great stuff. You’re still the best Derren. And at least we can be more confident that you are indeed human after all
Hi Derren. The events were definately entertaining… I was hoping for a reveal on how you really did the Lotto trick and the others, but it looks as tho you’re keeping it to yourself!
Looking forward to seeing you at Enigma at Milton Keynes Theatre anyway!

Really feel there is more to this! Appeared to be a man outside holding a big piece of cardboard which is usually related to being an oversized cheque as seen on gameshows etc.!
Will be annoyed if there isnt more to this but will keep searching the net for a bit before Peep Show repeat!
Good series Derren!
I have a million things to type about The Events but I think I’ll just sum them up with what is an incredibly massive
THANK YOU
for the show.
Huge respect to you, take care.

so close.. i was still amazed by how close you were… i do feel for ben though he seemed so sweet…
cant wait for ya 3d thingy ill be watching
Off by one but that still proves you can do it. There is always an element of chance and when the time came, chance shifted aganist your favour.
Chin up, old boy!
good try Derren i would have been rubbish at that! but good try
what was with the check for 180k at the end of the show
Hmm I was speechless, although I am sure it has a hiden meeting that you cant always be right when predicting random numbers. I can wait to see you in Belfast on the 13th April! 🙂
Oh my godddd. I was SO nervous for you, and off by one is still pretty amazing. Great series, thank you.
Lookingto seeing you in 3D, sounds very intriguing, and on tour! In Liverpool in March, first time seeing you live. 😀
fantastic show… and the “close, but no cigar” just adds to the incredible effect
I hope Derren reads this (but expect not)…
It would be lovely to think that there’s going to be a payoff to the casino trick, but if not, then bad luck, old thing. We’ve all really enjoyed playing along with the Events and think you’re splendid. I don’t want to patronise you, but I also felt like a proud mum when you announced the ‘Science Behind Scams’ programme; I think it’s admirable that we watched you appear as an enterntainer years ago, but can now use your reputation and credibility to encourage and incite the age of reason. Bless you, dear. I imagine that the unerring Prof. Dawkins is probably proud of you too ; )
All the very best and look forward to seeing the show next year X
It was hard luck for the guy set to win the money, but you can’t really call it bad luck being just one out. That was incredible.
However, I was more in awe of being able to steal 5 grand without the guy remembering.
Brilliant series – thank you.
You were amazing. I love watching your shows. I am constantly blown away by the incredible things you do. I cant wait for the next instalment.
My Mum says next time there’s a chance of winning money on your show, pick her….she will be much more entertaining than that boring b*****d…
she’s a cross between Cher and Mrs Bucket…

We adore you Derren. You are incredible. Thank you so much for ‘The Events’.
You are a Genius! The series has been brilliant…. Felt really gutted by the final result, so close but yet so far
i felt realy bad when i saw it was one away and the crew member saying that you will get his 5k back
oh well enjoyed it alot thanks derren 🙂
Great series with lots of really cool tricks but probably the worst ending ever!! Was a surprise that’s for sure but not a good one.
Great TV. It was a pretty anxious moment during the spin I must say!
One number out … Hard luck! Still, a very entertaining show
Look forward to more events next year
Awww you must already know you’re amazing but still, you’re incredible and one off is still brilliant!! I’m still loyal XD
Well done!! Can’t wait till you’re next on!
Hope you’re not too bummed out about it.
And i’d pay £5000 pounds just to meet you! Haha.
Even if i couldnt remember it :s
.xo
The Casino always wins..
Thanks for the ride!
Tbc…..
It was a great series and I was thoroughly entertained. Can’t wait for the 3D show sounds really interesting.
Can’t wait to see what you’ll have in store for us next time! 🙂
Shame about tonight’s episode, but hey, you’re still an awesomley scary man, so it’s all good! The rest of The Events have been perfect, so thank you Derren!
still love you derren!! can’t wait till the next show!! xx
Oh, and if he was outside the UK, how come he asked for 10 x 500 chips? Surely the chips wouldn’t be priced in sterling?
Don’t worry derren. You are amazing and we still love you. See you soon.
sooo close you must be bummed oop i mean gutted lol , very entertaining still, your awesome 🙂
Absolutely loved that series!
Was really amazing.
Thankyou,
T’was inspirational.
=)
Really want to go see Enigma.
One off?! It may have been ‘Bad Luck’ or just Tempting Fate but there’s no mistaking that you are utterly amazing still.
Unlucky on the roulette (8 is my ‘Lucky Number’ Freaky. Unlucky for some)
<3x
I am utterly convinced being one off was part of his master plan! Derren Brown is never wrong – maybe the casino wouldn’t allow it if he got it right – keep your eyes peeled the next few weeks
A great set of shows, thanks Derren. Gutting to be one out, but wow, that was close!
But it does show he can beat the roulette. He placed a single bet on 1 number to show the maximum potential of his skills, whereas if he had quickly placed another 2 bets on neighbouring numbers corresponding to the number he picked he would of won, but not quite as much. Still a very healthy profit would of been made! Picking just 1 number makes for good tv, i believe he could easily make huge profits from the skills he uses by simple doing neighbouring bets. No wonder he was ‘somewhere in Europe’ and not in the UK where he would be recognised and booted out straight away.
Friday nights won’t be the same. I am really sad that this is it now. For us it was a family event to sit down and watch The Events. Great shows that we thoughroughly enjoyed. No matter how you do it… it is brilliant entertainment ! I am looking forward to future events.
from one of your big fans
Oh and by the way, Friday, has now become Derren Day to me and a lot of other people at my school who are obbsesed with you XD .xo
Don’t worry Derren, i still think your amazing! I can’t wait to see you live…if i ever get tickets! 🙁
i cant believe derrenisascammer admitted to working for The Sun. There is no greater shame in life than to work for such a truly awful paper. I’d keep that to yourself buddy..
absolutely hilarious the guy was friggin’ devo’d he thought he was for 180K
Derren you prick, getting the poor chaps hopes up.
Please never do this again
well done tonight, you were only one off, which isn’t too bad!
well done on guessing the speed of the cars, you never cease to amaze me!
This has happened before. In ‘Mind Control 4: Episode 5’ he is allowed into a casino, wins about 4k on blackjack then at the end of the episode bets it all on 22 and it lands on the number next to it (18).
I enjoyed it anyway and look forward to the next big thing.
