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.

Wow, really fantastic show (in fact, all of the events have been). Can see how every detail is perfected to ensure maximum impact on the audience; great entertainment and something of an interesting psychology study too. Great idea to be off by 1: now everyone’s wondering what went wrong rather than wondering how you did the trick at all (compare this to the lottery trick…). Felt a little sorry for the guy who was all ready to get his £180k cheque though – though that’s presuming he wasn’t an actor. Liked the touch of having a guy holding a giant cheque standing outside.
Altogether looked like it was put together masterfully. Love how you create the whole mystique around you – how you are ‘banned from casinos’ (…hehe) and suchlike.
Who on earth is this ‘derrenisascammer’ fool?!?! take a chill pill mate. please just get out of our lives and take your paper with you yes. thank you.
Derren, so much love to you and the crew on an amazing series.
Can’t wait for Derren in 3D?! Ooof.

dont get me wrongi think derren is great and just dont how he does most things. but to find out how he did the lottery thing just type how derren brown predicyed lottery into utube search ( split screen ) ( raised ball )
i’d be happy to take a loan out if u wanna try it again?!
i cannot believe it, i would have thought you would have done it. good ending though to the show it was fantastic, now if only i can convince my dad to take me to see u in milton keynes next year. its been great watching your show
Terrible end to the series, wooden actors playing the “crew” and “ben”, ridiculous “hidden”cameras and the only deathly quiet casino in the world. Filming it so it appears you got one away so all the mongs and neandathals go “ZOMG, it must be real cos he got one away, must be real hard to do properly!!!11!!!!one!!!! ZOMG!!!!!!!!”
If that really is the end to it then it was awful.
There is something else going on here…
He asked for 10 x 500 chips, making 5k yeah? Thing is he wasn’t in the UK so therefore would have been using a different currency and would have needed to bet a different amount to make 5k sterling. Mmmmm?
Great stuff though! Derren you are the face of human potential in my opinion! Look forward to the next trip you take us mere mortals on!
nOotch!
Bloody nora Derren…..you are so cool. Getting it wrong on purpose just to get us all hooked into trusting you even more….love the psychology behind that one hun! LOL! Either that or you are just plain crap! And I really dont believe that for a minute. Nice one. You are fab….xx
One off!!! It was so painful! You sounded quite upset Derren! Don’t get down about it though, it’s still an achievement to get sooooo close in something so randomized!
That guys face at the end was an absolute picture though, it has to be said!
I highly enjoyed the series and I hope future projects are as successful as this one, because it was truly brilliant.
All the best.

one out derren but your still amazin
Congratulations on your excellent series, unlucky about tonight, but still one off is still incredible!
Don’t know what I will do with my Friday nights now…Probably have to go back to partying!
Gutted for you on the wheels Derrin…. Double or quits??
Massive well done tho!!
may i recomend post human polyagency. the non human entities you were emeshing yourself with obviously had other ideas
Fantastic! Im a big roulette player and know that was totally amazing to hit a neighbor never mind the area of the wheel! Awestruck, a legend you are and will be Derren.
Enjoyed all the events, very entertaining. I was stuck to my sofa and drew a bullseye lol.
Look forward to next ‘ events ‘ ? Have used the auto drawing with some success on irish lotto! 4 numbers- over 5 grand B-) shame i cant get bookies to pay out on losing slips ! Ive tried since the show some years ago! Had it counted out once before cashier realised and drew the money back! Naughty i know, Derren is the master, david blaine not fit to tie your shoe laces lol
Derren you’re still amazing!!.
I got stuck to my couch 🙂 was slightly scary though. Look foward to the return. HURRY BACK!
x x x
Serves you right for what you did to the “loser” girl in the matchbox stunt. 🙂
It went wrong? Amazing .. but not all bad, people like me then sort of see a little less like as if it is all just a big scheme … we might impressed ..
If it went wrong … what happened to the not so lucky owner of the money … if I recall correct you’d been playing with someone else’s money. But that’s probably the scheme towards that person. And the loosing could be part of that too ofcourse. Haven’t seen the show so can’t make up my mind. But time will solve this I think.
Every time I read thank you I think of wiseman’s post (I know why .. I remember) Hm … now that I think of it, mind control by wiseman … ehehehe … that’s a funny thought. Considering where I am now.
Trusten!
.
I really enjoyed that show tonight! It doesn’t hurt to get something wrong once in a while! There would be no mystery if you were right all the time…
Keep up the great work!!
That was hilariously brilliant! For anyone of you who thinks he was one out lol! Seriously 1:14,000000 chance for the lottery and getting it right and 1:37 chance on the roulette and getting it wrong, I don’t think so Sonny Jim! Seriously, consider it for a moment…..Derren you are awesome and I will be chuckling to myself for the next few hours, thank you…..
Gutted for you on the wheels result… bah!!! Double or quits???
The Events have been great! Don’t worry because you have surprised and entretained us every week in a different and amazing way.
I haven’t been able to watch today’s Event yet, because I’m from Chile, South America, but I hope to be able to watch it soon (legaly) on Youtube :P, as I’ve done with all the other episodes.
Good luck with your future proyects from Chile!

I feel absolutely gutted for you Derren! You are still a genius and if you ever want an apprentice let me know!!
The shows were great.
I wonder if it was some attempt to show it could be done if that makes sense or if theres more to follow. Derren, not only are you gorgeous your amazing, I saw you live at theatre royal in newcastle this year, and its one of the most fabulous things ive ever seen. Totally love you.. you rock!!!! x
I have to wonder how many ‘fail’ comments were removed here :p
however, I did enjoy watching the twitter fireworks it sparked, and we still love you 🙂
you are the best!!!!. Even if you did get it right, every one would say the ball was fixed or somthing like that. just like the lottery thingy :O
Hi Derren!
After watching tonight, my girlfriend said that I’m just like you in the bedroom: I hype it up for an hour before ending with a massive anti-climax.
…
Just kidding. Thanks for a wicked night of TV.
Best,
Rich
Were you / what was in the first truck?
Very clever series, very entertaining! Thank you for the year of your life x
bad luck on the spin of the wheel…. Double or quits??
so great i carnt see anyone but you doing so well only 1 off love all your shows !!!!!!!!!!!!!! XD
Hard luck derren, but it was amazing to watch the events.
Well done!
How did I miss the 3D part when I read this the first time?! Now that’s something to look foward to! 😀
And people have been making good points about how this could have been intentional…if you’ve tricked us you’ve done it well!
oh and also, after watching all the derren brown on youtube i could find, he does this kind of thing all the time. he lets you think that he has failed in some way and then brings it all back in a situation that is so much more complex and clever than you could ever imagine. go see his show 😉
Amazing night tonight Derren.
You truely are an inspiring person, with impishly good looks.
The Events have truely been Epic & I thought tonight’s ending was alot better than you winning the money, because people will believe what they want to believe. & You were one off! That’s just baffling! Well done.
I can’t wait until the ENIGMA tour – see you there =]
But hurry back because we’ll all get impatient and be running around demanding you to return ='[
xxxx
I still think that this was a planned one off, so that the audience are led to believe the stunt is genuine with no trickery and the risk of failure, gaining our trust on future events….but Derren sounded soooo sad when he got it wrong! In a way, this is a slightly better and more believable ending than that Ben dude winning a huge amount of money….and if computers are banned from casinos, why not hidden cameras??!!
“Sorry Ben, we’ll get your £5000 back” Mind you, I have not laughed that much in ages, hilarious end to the series! 😛
Even if you genuinely got it wrong, it doesn’t matter, I still think you’re incredible and will always remember that you stuck me to my sofa, much to the distaste of my hysterical mother!!
Keep up the crazy work, can’t wait till your next show!!! =D
legend. enough said
You are fantastic.
Don’t be too disappointed by tonight’s outcome it was still a brilliant show.
‘The Events’ has been the most entertaining and interesting series in a long time. Well done!
amazing , how come you never see any females like you :S
Congrats on a mesmerising series! Can’t wait for the next lot.
Don’t envy random roulette envy numbers.
showmanship 🙂
Come on people, have you learned nothing from the great man over all these years? One thing we definitely didn’t see tonight was a failed event.
Great show, really enjoyed these events! So entertaining, but remember: a blend of ‘magic’, misdirection and showmanship.
Keep your wits about you people!
ahh you just cant win can you derren!!
you get the lottery right and everyone slates you saying it was fixed etc..
then you get the number on a roulette whell ONE OUT which to be honest is still amazing to get that close and everyone slates you there!
only thing to do is keep your chin up and carry on amazing us
Hi Derren
Good entertainment but I was slightly disappointed that you were not going to share your secret success formula as the prediction did not turn out right. I haven’t been watching any other instalments of this series but only saw your programme on “the system” for winning on horse races. How did you feel the moment the ball landed on the adjacent number and how often did you get your predictions right when throwing the ball in the squash court? Is it all about probability?
Have you thought of betting on a single number 36 times straight in a row? If you pick a number that has a tendency to come up more than once, you probably has a chance to win at least your money back if this is within the 36 bets, do you agree?
I am interested in the hypnotising you did to Ben…
Derren’s a fabulous showman, never fails to amuse and amaze and I’d give him my savings to do it again any day!
Congratulations!!!! you are amazing i love all your shows. who cares if you were one out??? we can all make mistakes 🙂 keep up the good work!
Im really surprised so many ppl think DB got it wrong. He must be laughing his head off!! It wasn’t a real casino as he is banned from them, thats why all the fake camera stuff inside. Some ppl even think his voice sounded genuinely sad!! Unbeleivable!! Great fun though.
Who gives a f*ck about the roulette table when you can play RUSSIAN ROULETTE! x
As a paranormal investigator, using scientific and logic methods of investigating I will be watching the Science of Scams very closely, would love to get involved somehow.
Also as co-ordinator of an online paranormal radio show, we would love to get Derren on the show sometime!!
ooh bad luck…
really thought you would do it
still, better than what anyone else would have guessed!
I’d say he said one off deliberately otherwise no-one would believe it…
