Take part in The Events!
Come and be involved in my nationwide experiment, and be part of The Events.
Yesterday evening, a curator of London’s famous Science Museum drew a picture in secret, wrapped it up in newspaper and placed it in the museum on display. No-one but she knows what it is.
Until next Thursday, 3rd Sept, this picture will remain on display for any of you who wish to take part, to come and look at the wrapped-up picture and attempt to sense what the image is. The only limitation placed on the curator is that she was to draw some ‘simple design’, to make the image relatively straightforward.
If you would like to take part in this experiment into psychic ability which will form part of one of The Events, please visit the Science Museum and follow the signs to the picture.
Good luck! Your guesses will be shown on TV in September.
Best wishes to you all,
Derren

I vote a shoe 🙂
why couldnt of this been there last week i was in london lol. its a simple rocket design im not sure it is but its something to do with science. Derren if your reading this you probably know what it is already, because your a genius lol.
Terry’s Chocolate Orange. 100% definitely maybe.
Was going to go to The Science Museum on Tuesday so this will make the day even sexier! Can’t wait for the show it sounds amazing already! And no one even knows whats happening in it yet! Only Mr.Brown could melt our minds before the mind melting show begins 🙂

Thanks for saying you’d cast my vote. My first thought was it’s a boat, a simple one like kids draw with a sail. Don’t worry if you aren’t able to vote for me as i have also seen Twitter where it says we can take part online nearer the time. Very nice of you though 🙂
still not sure what the stuck to my sofa site is all about. It’s mentioned in the Man U score predictions site too. Won’t the bookies be angry about that? Does it mean the game is fixed/rigged?

As this was being posted I was on the train back home after a few days in London. Missed it by an hour. Aarrrrrrrghhhhhhh!
After much deliberation, I have come to the conclusion that it’s a small Giraffe trapped inside a bottle of Fanta.
Fruit Twist, naturally.
Managed to brave the crowds of screaming children and made it to the museum today, woop!
was a bit weird, it was the only place in the museum that wasn’t packed with people and I couldn’t find directions either.
Happy I got a chance to take part though 🙂
Ok it’s like this…
If DB knows what’s in the picture – than I say it’s a face.
But if she is really the the only one knowing what it is, than I wouldn’t even bother guessing.
Simple as that.
A watch? An Eye? Something circular anyway.
A circular saw??
Woah at the amount of comments 😮
x
We went today and spent so long mooching round the rockets and the steam engines on the ground floor (and puzzling over the weirdness that is the basement?!) that when we headed off to the other floors to find the drawing, it was closing time! Well, it was half an hour to closing time, but apparently they round up the sheep well beforehand and keep us penned-in at ground level. So, do we go back or wait for the web guess?
Lol @ lauralou 😀
@ Enigma
If you dont mind i might pass on a guess for you to post! 🙂 When are you going there?
I did the 2 post thing too! I hate it when that happens!
Okay – since my last comment I’ve been doing some more thinking.
1. When it airs, Derren will correctly sense what has been drawn before its revealed.
2. We don’t know how the instructions were given to the curator (well I don’t anyway) it may have been “a simple design” or they may have been more priming so that Derren already has a pretty good idea what was drawn. If not, I suspect he could cold-read it from the curator before it’s unveiled.
3. The previous commenter who pointed out that he doesn’t want us all to get it correct is probably right, so I doubt we are being given blatant clues. Our correct guessing is random.
4. Can’t resist guessing. Simple design = not an object or animal. Can’t be a trademark, likely to be religious symbol, cross is too simple. So, Star of David.
I think its a cube
With the retro font for The Events and the ‘simple design’ instructions, I immediately think of iconic 50s kitchenalia. Toasters, chairs, coffee tables that sort of thing xD
Just a quick guess;
Hot Air Balloon.
Peace People!
I stupidly think it’s a pizza slice. 😐
Come to Worcester or Birmingham please, Mr.Brown! =D
An eye or the London Eye… or sumink.
Please pass me my tinfoil hat.
Cheers!
Oh my goodness, I actually found myself trying to find hidden messages in the grafitti I saw on the way home from work, total madness (I don’t even live in the UK!!!)
Loving the events so far and can’t wait to see what the mind blowing Darren brown has in store for us over the next few weeks. I can’t make it down to london from scotland but I am definitely seeing a star of david design. I think the curator is surrounded by science daily and would look to a spiritual level for inspiration. Please read this out when I’m proved right.
I’m confused enough thank you. I flicked on the television whilst on holiday in Spain and found an advert of Derren Brown talking backwards! That seemed like an Event in itself!
…I’m guessing the signs leading to the painting will have subliminal advertising, in which Derren already gave a verbal suggestion to the curator before drawing her masterpiece… anywhere close?
It’s a cat i bet
lots of people said cat…. i say… um.. dog! or mouse! hmm…
Warning ‘Hazchem’ chevrons..?
Managed to get to the Science Museum on Saturday. Very interesting to sit and watch the amount of people who had their photo taken with either the covered picture in the background, or standing next to the instruction podium. Myself included.
No darn paper there through. I had to improvise.

DNA?
@Phillis
Any news on entering our guesses online?
I think it’s a red square. In fact, I’m pretty certain it is.
Reason being that Derren is standing in front of a big red square on the video where he talks about the competition, and that it would also fit in with the whole red/black thing.
Just my two cents of course!!
I think it’s a poland flag lol :/ 🙂
…boat? XD
Its either a striped cat
or
a mouse with a stripey tail! 😀 (was watching derren brown: the gathering, and he said something about “draw something simple” like on this, first he drew a stripey cat (wich was right) second he drew a mouse with stripey tail, wich was wrong, and the gathering is on after the events, so maybe! 😀 )
it is a cat
Deffo getting stripes.
The Olympic Rings popped into my head today for some reason… Maybe it was Spandau’s Gold reference?
No point guessing – it’s impossible! I reckon Derren had already instilled in her mind what to draw before she drew it – but that’s the clever bit!
who got the bigger attendence, BANKSYS
Interesting idea – and i did have ago drawing the picture so you never know I might get a second on TV – but the museum itself was awesome – if not plastered with circles everywhere – deception,deceite, something tells me derrens about….
At first I was set on drawing a tractor, but ‘cleared my mind’ and went with a car. I’m pretty sure that’s what it is.
I reckon it’s a boat. But meh. 😀
