The latin ‘hic locus verus non est’ appears on the backwards Manchester United crest, and when translated (probably inaccurately) it reads “This place is not real”
I wonder if “This place” refers to the website itself, or the bigger picture? I really hope I get tickets.
i don’t understand why he’s walking forwards and talking backwards it makes no sense!
ok so there’s a circle on a guys back, not sure what thats about.
thats where i get lost!
Anyone else see the grey corsa which is actually reversing down the road…???
The double-headed Eagle is neither that of Barclays Bank Plc or the CIA. It is used in many locations and by many political states and organisations throughout history:
I believe that it is supposed to be a representation of misdirection, Janus-like, not knowing in which direction to look, as is DB’s intent with The Events.
I find it interesting how the Lottery slogan in this advert is “It WILL be you”, rather than the actual tagline of “It COULD be you”.
It’s possibly due to copyright.
On t’other hand though, the word “will” does suggest to me that there may be a bit of manipulation involved with the lottery on Derren’s part sometime soon…
Lady Claire- I’ve watched it three times (in reverse/forwrds talking) and everytime I physically flinched when the truck rushed up behind him :-/
x
Where has the link to the reversed one gone? 🙁 Wanted to show my friend.
x
I’m scared that he knows what I’m thinking. I don’t want to guess because I don’t want to say what he wants me to say. Dammit this is screwing with my brain!
And I’m back at boarding school on the ninth, won’t be able to watch… Hopefully I’ll find a way.

I had the starngest thought once wouldnt, I thought what if darren brown was so cunning the biggest trick he ever played was to trick the country into believing his system by having theatres full of planned stooges as he would put it. I do doubt him after years of watching and feel the oddas are so astronomical that even the people who claim to be good at what they do in their fields slip up.
the logo on the reversed “manchester united” site and on the little girls balloon is a modified version of the coat of arms of Montenegro. It’s a double eagle which represents a lot of things throughout history. the freemasons saw it as the symbol of the duality of things in nature, man/woman, light/dark….
forwards/backwards…?? Hmmmmmm
Ok, I’ve pretty much made my mind up on this.
The top stories article has this…
Ian Ducee….froze on the pitch in last night’s match. Early reports state that he felt “stuck to the spot” as though hypnotised after glancing at the big screen.
Ian Ducee is an anagram of AUDIENCE
The text on the right reads as this…
Dr Rene Marrone (DERREN BROWN) knew what it was like to be glued to the box. To be entranced by what you’re watching and completely unable to move.
My theory is that all these other small elements in the trailer, lottery number stickers, it will be you slogan, red and black, eagle, white circle, backwards forwards theme etc is an attempt at a type of conditioning for the viewers who will be watching…
CONTINUED …on the night where it will all come into play and we may well find ourselves stuck to our seats. It wouldn’t be the first time Derren has done something like this, it’s just on an even larger scale.
Anyway, just a theory 🙂
I found these lyrics from a song called ‘it will be you’..
Stealing my reasons from you
I’ll do everything you want me to
It’s my desire to forget
Everything I regret
Nothing from nothing
Nothing comes easy
Simple from simple
Rumors becoming answers
totally unconnected I’m sure, but interesting!!
@Paul, I like your thinking.
I am beyond excited now. Squeeeeee!!
Just realised, http://www.itwillbeyou.com is a real website for the e-lottery, unllike the other sites which simply link to The Events Page. But it does link in with the lotto numbers on the lamppost, and red & black on the lorry. Still no idea with the guy who has a circle on his back…
Can’t wait for the ‘The Events’…. I wonder, did Derren spoke in Germany (in the trailer) or he spoke backward?
@Dzul
It’s backwards, you can find that video reversed at youtube. Otherwise it wouldn’t make much sense to create such an elaborate and weird video….
Manchester Utd had a match on Wednesday but it was away… wasn’t that the day that Derren was floating about in Manchester?
I was the skater in the advert , very interesting how it was all done ( its a secret )
to trick… £40 jewel hiest?,
to win… Lotto?,
to fool… time going back?
to control… stuck to the spot?
Did anyone notice at the retsehcnaMdetinu site the sheild in the upper left corner looks similar (though not exactly like) the image on the little girl’s balloon in the trailer. I assumed the words underneath it were latin and it roughly translated (using google) “this location is not truth” or something like that. Which I’m assuming is refering to the website, but it’s kind of interesting because it is not backwards. Ugh, or it’s not interesting all..haha, damn Derren and his events screwing with my mind. 😛
man next to bus station = using metal detector?
numbers on lampost = numbers on the stickers on the pole supposed to be lottery numbers?
(plus “It will be you…†plus thumbs up logo carefully constructed to be reminiscent of the National Lottery logo while not infringing any copyrights…) itwillbeyou.com leads to e-lottery.
girl holding balloon = eagle on balloon – cia logo
man reading paper = jewel heist
Red & Black written on the front of the lorry… something to do with roulette?
continued…next comment
logo says “Hic Locus Non Est Verus†which is Latin for “this place is not true†on man u site
Me and my girlfriend thought Derren sounded funny on his ‘upside-down’ competition question, so we recorded the audio and reversed it… linking in with the backmasking posts etc. The result is really, really tantalising, and we are convinced there are hidden messages in the reversed sound. We can hear ‘everything is not…’, ‘series seven’, and some other spooky bits which could be deciphered with a bit of work. The competition isn’t really that hard to find, so maybe there are instructions in the reversed audio to pick another answer? Try it and post any developments!!
Francis, I thought there might be something to reversing the competition video, but I had no way of doing it…I’m glad someone actually did it.
A lot going on in that advert, a lot of people moving forward in it ,woman with a rolled up newspaper, guy on a skateboard, guy sweeping trash, guy with a briefcase, woman with a dog,guy hailing a taxi,girl with the balloon, and the woman pouring out her coffee, even a corsa appears to be moving forward. But only the woman on her mobile phone begins moving backwards then finishes the ad moving forward ,, anything to that I wonder? She looks hot
@Paul Watson – DB has influenced audiences before now. He made a cinema audience forget the film that they were watching, ‘Oceans 13’ and also suggested to the audience at ‘The Gathering’ that they forget their location and/or the events that they had witnessed. He has also suggested to people that they cannot move from their spots – the woman on the Zebra crossing in series two of ‘Trick of the Mind’, for instance. It isn’t too far-fetched to think that DB can also influence his television audience, given that the majority of us will be in a positive and accepting frame of mind and will also want to play along with the broadcasts.
I’ll be literally glued to my chair in anticipation of Derren’s new show…..;)
Derrens oviously gonna get us glued to our sets come to all our house steal all our shit maybe touch a couple of us and take over the world. im still gonna watch tho lol and also im deffo gonna put some dosh on the lotto cos if i didnt and the numbers on the lamp post where right id be well gutted! on more thing whos this derren (nt db) weirdo is it derren to mutch mide fuck for one morning i need some pizza hmm i wonder why?
Unless I’ve missed it, can’t believe no-one’s picked up on the ‘match date’ mentioned on the reversed football site – 09/09/09!! So looks like all will be clear soon….I’m going to buy a lottery ticket on the 9th with the suggested numbers just in case there’s anything in it 😉
I just noticaed Derrens head on the background of StuckToMySofa.com 🙂
I can’t wait!! 😀
Sorry if this has already been said, but if the date that the Events is meant to be transmissioned really is 09/09/09, then that can also be said as 999 (the 9th day of the 9th month of the 9th year). 999 immediately makes you think of the emergency services aka the Police which is also related to one of Derren’s previous shows, the Heist.
I do agree with whoever said all of Derren’s previous stunts have been leading up to this one “Event”.
Anyone think the man that calls the taxi with the white circle on his back stands for “union”?
I know its a long shot but i suspect the “United” on the billboard website, is white for a reason.
This could imply that Derren is collating his previous shows and series.
Has anyone noticed the trailer is in two parts? (while he stands on the island)
Also can’t help but think maybe this is all part of an elaborate social test, similar to “Trick or Treat 2” episode 6.
(which could prove the collation theory, as in that there’s a lottery trick.
*Brains have turned to stew*
Hope everyone can tell what i’m trying to say, im spurting it out as it wriggles round my grey matter!
the shadow of the bin changes direction. compare the image near the end with the image earlier on (street scene).
i think we are up for a challenge of cosmic proportions…
sincerely,
go to http://www.retsehcnamdetinu.com for a bunch of stuff to look at leoanardo style, im dysliex mate this just blags my head!!, Krisdt good work fella, i think you may be too deep down the rabbit hole but its going to take a special person to figure numnuts out, was looking at the other short clips but dont think there’s anything there and as far as making out what the hell’s going on in his website , medicine i need some quick
I haven’t watched the ads properly and certainly haven’t bothered watching the ‘reversed’ version.
No offence D… you’re handsome, witty, charming and all round brilliant of course!!!
(Bit of metaphorical butt kissing can sometimes go a long way).
😉
But there was really only one thing there I saw as important or relevant to the future.
Bunnies, bunnies, everywhere… what really matters?
Do you care?!
All very good theories, but I dunno what to think! I like the linking idea, i,e the other specials. Brain hurts!
I’m gutted that I’ll miss this i’ll be on holiday on the 9th September, there are loads of message in the advert tho, i’ve watched it loads of times and i see something different everytime.
Agree that all the previous series have been building up to this one.
Very confused about the ad though, both bacfkwards and forwards things going on.
so.. I’m not very impressed with how Channel 4 have chopped it in half in some cases. unlike most adverts it does make a difference to this one!
the joke is not true (this is no joke/this is not a joke)
the numbers?
man with 0 on is back?
the backwards man u sign which is a real website?
he is speaking backwards?
999 or 666 mark of the beast?
man stuck on the football pitch? really a science student?
double headed eagle on the ballon? freemasons? illuminati again?
stuck o the sofa eat a pizza?
all the red and black roulette stuff?
think thats it? lol
so!!!!!!
If this is no joke, or the joke is no joke!?!
stucktomysofa.com
people who watch on TV will not be able to move, they will be hypnotised.
9 september is the england v croatia match 8pm. just thought i’d say as nobody else seemed to have noticed
I FIGURED IT OUT!
the reason the logo means
“this place is not the truth”
is because your meant to click it to get to the REAL location..
the two messages are two websites, that both lead to the derren brown site.
After that, all is revealed :))
what does it say on the side of the police car?
i think that manchester united stuff its one of the deceptions derren is using (and cheekly tellin us about it !!).
i played with some “clues” seen in the clip(run them through the system….) for few hours and it took me rather to a.c. milan (they play 09.09.09,they red and black as well, etc..) and dont ask me how i came to it(tried to retrace my steps but got lost ).its quite interesting though how many things in that clip are something else than we think they r .
and derren: have a mercy!!! i need to sleep…its 2:30 am and i cannot leave my computer serching for those clues…..did u hipnotise me already??
fantastic mind u r. would love to see yor show!!
good nite
All these theories are messing with my head! The lottery has been mentioned on here a lot and one thing I noticed was that the midweek draws are on a Wednesday night, and the first Event show is supposed to be live. I also can’t help thinking that all the ‘clues’ are maybe distractions, as Derren isn’t really going to want anyone to figure it all out beforehand as that would ruin it all! But hey, who knows!
