In the final Event, Derren will twist and turn like a twisty-turny thing.
114 Comments
Hmmm I’ve just noticed that this weeks banner is Odds23 and last weeks was Intel but last week was concentric circles.
Although I drew a computer (intel) with a duck on the screen.
Anyways really looking forward to friday Derren.
Master mathemetician and misdirector, would love to have progessed my skills as far as you have.
Ive really enjoyed your stuff derren .never boring. xxxx
Hmm . Love the “It could be you” allusion at the end but why mention the lottery now? Hope its gonna be a stonker!!
I hope everything goes well and to plan Derren, with you and everyone involved.
It is indeed a shame that it’s going to be your last one though.
I hardly have the tv on at all anymore, but I have caught most of your Friday shows
(As in; Watched every show just not fully from the start… Sorry :P)
Odd… the way in which you phrase that:
“There is a small but distinct possibility that the fortuitous individual under scrutiny might be your very own good selfâ€.
I’m too tired to see if there’s anything to decifer in there currently 😀
Anyway, yes… good night all.
Pax, amor et concordia!

Love the series. Watched the last two on a very low signal quality, so neither worked. Although I was also being a massively unhinged sceptic throughout.
Still, enjoy the show. Great fun. The pacing gets better with everything you do.
Peace, love

Such a shame this week is the last ‘Event’ …I’ve enjoyed them all but the ‘Casino’ one is the one I’ve been looking forward to the most…cant wait…well done Mr B…
Question,.
Where do the little close up pics of Derrens face come from? I see no way to put them in myself ( not that I would want to) and am now wondering if this is Derren doing this at a later time possibly, someone else doing this, admin etc?
Are they auto inserted from keywords?
Any clues as I seem to have missed that part of class.
Thanks,
Phil
@ Phil
Try doing a smiley face with a colon and a closed bracket…. 🙂
Or the same with a closed bracket…. 🙁
Or the same with a lower case ‘o’…. 😮
Or the same with a capital ‘p’…. 😛
They are lovely little emoticons.
I meant open bracket for the second one, whoops! 😮
hey Derren
love your show will be watching carefully love to see things that others may not i didn’t get glues to the chair which i was tad sad about , as i know it would have been a fun experience looking forward to Fridays show
hugs TJ
@ JayKay – I loved the Trick or Treat one with the old lady. I thought that was incredible 🙂
Also, is it just me, or has the anti-spam gotten longer? 🙁
I’m gutted that it will be the last one! 🙁 Please make more! I love your shows so much! =] Friday’s show sounds really interesting and I can’t wait! =] Have a good day! 🙂
woo can’t wait!!
psst..pick me!
Im poor and living off tesco value food, I can’t take it any more!!
Derren, don’t give away too much. Your physiological techniques must be paying good dividends. It’ll be a good show. You know it will. Well-done for all your hard work in bringing it together. Do a double blink on the show in recognition of this comment and I’ll be even more amazed. See you on tour later in the year. All the best.
Phillip:
You can also open a new .txt file (notepad) on your computer, highlight a Derren emoticon that you want to use, select ‘copy’ (not ‘copy picture’) then paste into the notepad.
This should show you the needed combination for various emoticons.

Hope this also helps in addition to the advice Francis gave.

@ Phil:
See above^
Sorry put the wrong name on… my mind is not fully here at the moment.. please leave a message after the beep.
😉
Can’t wait to see the show on Friday (fingers crossed, family willing — won’t be at my own place unfortunately — will have to hope that other peeps in charge of the TV on Friday let me watch it!).
Thanks to Francis above for explaining how to do all of the personalised Derren emoticons — at last a mini fan secret has been revealed (!) 🙂 🙁 😮 😛
Sad it’s the last one, but have thoroughly enjoyed all of them so far and expect to enjoy this one just as much! Look forward to seeing you on tour 1st of May next year xxx
As you said after you showed us your card counting tricks in one of your previous shows , always pick 22!
And then you lost :X heh that was funny. Hope that your fav. number doesn’t get in the way of the right bet !
Best of luck 😀
Call me x
@Christopher.
Allow me to translate “It could be you” 😛
No! Just found out I’m away Friday night (is there a ‘frown like hell’ emoticon?). Why, oh WHY am I doomed to watch repeats? Every time! Might take my DB portrait book with me, though – now that’ll cheer me up. 😀
Love the Blackadder reference ‘twist and turn like a twisty-turny thing.’ Stephen Fry is brilliant
Exciting! Hope whoever he calls is a huge fan and will be as thrilled that DB has rang them as they are at the prospect of winning the money. Oooh what if it’s someone off the blog. Like someone said, it could be to do with the mysterious Enigma poster markings? Can’t wait anyway. Shame it’s the last one. I’d hoped there’d be a little something else. Oh please, please show the missing footage as a big finger up to the doubters.
💡 I like the apple one :-p

@itsallnonsense – ?
Psalms?
Can I just say that another way to do the emoticon thingy’s on here, is just run your mouse over another one someone else has done and you should see there what you need to key. 🙂

Good luck today with winning at roulette and making someone richer!
Derren has his own spectacular way of winning.
Yeh, very best of. I’m looking forward to all the twists. I’m out all day, so I’ll miss the blog. Tonight is the only night I’ve had in foe ages I’ve had to fight for it – and I am soooooooo looking forward to coorying in with my wee man, some stodgy comfort food and a glass of wine. Oh and Derren. Ahhhhhhhhh. The bestest night in ages.
My typos are getting worse, soz; I gotta go back to one-finger typing.
I have to say, even before tonight the events have been really good. Some bits i have not been a great fan of, like the stuck to your sofa ones. I think its because i personally know no one who was stuck so its hard for me to belive it. Maybe a gathering round the projectors like they did for the first event would have been more beliveable but hey ho.
Thanks again EVERYONE who worked on the Events. From the runners to Derren, it takes a whole heap of people to make the shows work, so thanks guys and gals!
Cheers
Rob
I am deeply gutted it is his last show tonight too, but hasn’t anyone noticed his show on Tuesday’s at 10.35pm on Channel 4?!?! They are repeats but they still never fail to amaze! First of the series started last Tuesday with Simon Pegg guest starring. I would love to win that money, as I’m sure we all would! I would actually take much more satisfaction in talking to Derren though to be honest!! Bugger the money just give me a call 😛 Don’t need to wish you luck, I’m sure it will all go swimmingly! Will be stuck to my chair just watching, no need for special videos! 😀
Oh, and I have to add how amazed and exhilarated I am at your talent in art, as an artist myself I can’t begin to tell you how much I appreciate your work! Getting a print for my birthday! Xxx 🙂
Ha ha u lost
awww derren brown i love you. 🙁 don’t worry it was still amaaazing.
Oops. I admire your bravery though and it was desperately close.
You done good.
He failed at it. Was so upset wats he gonna do because he has to give someone £5000, probably how much he earned just for all of the events.
You are a Legend!! 1 out!! damn good try though. very impressed with the guessing of number 37 with the squash court. Looking forward to seeing Enigma!
Hello Derren.
You are far too much of a perfectionist to end the episode like that! Wha have you got up your sleeve?
Never mind. Thought it was the most believable show out of all the events, well done x
so gutted for derren that it didnt work! he sounded devastated! We still think you are amazing derren!
Maria & Paul (Bolton)
WTF?
1 out thats unlucky, still have to have an amazing mind to even get that and work it all out in your head plus having to be very careful not to be spotted with the cameras etc and the environment… would have been nerving.
Impressive though not disapointed in the slightest, well done!
I know a few people who found it hard to stand up and felt really heavy when he did the stuck to chair show. The mans a genius!
Was I the only one to note that taking the £5k in the first place was theft and filming in a casino is also illegal !!
Derren proves the phrase “the casino always wins”
Loved the bloke standing at the back of the truck holding the big cheque….
I noticed the illegality of it as well. I was complaining to my mum while he was doing it!　
This isn’t the end of it, there’s something else to this trick. It’s so obvious. I love your work Derren. you never fail to keep me intruiged and fascinated 🙂
