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 think she has drawn Stewie from Family Guy
289 miles…. I’ll guess from here…
Mmmm… Something round/spherical… Like a sun/planet/ball….?
If this is an “experiment into psychic ability”, why can’t we have a go from the comfort of our own homes?
Ellis 3?
🙁 I was in London last Saturday 🙁
Definitely… maybe… some four legged creature?
A picture of a old cassete or video cassete : )
Canada is just a little too far to stare at a newspaper covered drawing. I’m going to guess it’s a circle with a dot in the center or a bullseye target.
I’m thinking a globe…
I don’t need to go to London to guess. I have the same psychic powers as the greatest psychic ever to live. Ever. Yes, Mystic Meg. The picture in which has been drawn is of a clock, showing the time as 6:44 i do believe.
It’s quite interesting how similar some of these guesses etc, are when a lot of these posts weren’t up on the blog beforehand. My msg is way down the list and yet there were only 6 posts up there when I left my comment! Now what is there….over 100?!
Deliberate perhaps…..?

Hmm… it’s a competition to win tickets, and Derren asked the nice lade (Ellis?) to draw it, so you can be she’s drawn exactly what he wanted her to… but I doubt he’ll give us any obvious clues as he probably won’t want to give away thousands of tickets…
I can’t see it being a cat, boat, banana, or any other previous suggested drawings Mr B has used… the fact it’s wrapped in newspaper leads me to think that might’ve been part of the suggestion he gave to the curator… so I reckon it might be the obvious – a bear on a unicycle juggling 3 pineapples. Or a fish and chips. 😀
There’s part of me that’s saying;
You’ve already taken 2 days off this week to re-read Derren Brown’s book and research all of the people he mentions in it.
And there’s another part of me saying;
It’d take an hour and a half on the train maximum to get there. Just do it.
Hmm, the wonder of your own minds persuasion, nevermind other people’s…
@LairyT – Certainly 🙂 If anyone wants me to and, if I’m permitted to, I’ll cast votes on your behalf if you let me know what you think the picture might be.
@Donnavan – What makes you say that? I’d like it if it were right 🙂
It’s the entire schematics for a boeing 737 with a cute little doodle of a flower in a pot in the space beween the fuel tanks and the luggage compartment…….
Hmm …. a bus! No, no, wait a sec .. a house! … or a cat?
So far, I’ve noticed that circular objects (Globe/ball/planet/wheel/orange/sun/lightbulb/flower) have been suggested the most, and there ARE definitely a lot of circles in the vicinity of the picture.
Not that Derren would EVER want to influence anyone in ANY way, of course.
Just found out I am going to miss half of The Events 🙁 🙁 🙁 cos I’ll be in Las Vegas. If I miss out on the tour tickets going on sale too I shall be inconsolable 🙁 🙁
Love the responses here, but the real question should be… when I read this today what did I draw on a shiny yellow post-it note in work???
Ha, tell me that!!
Man wearing top hat and tails riding a unicycle, possibly holding something, like an umbrella.
random.
My brother thinks it’s a match that has been lit.
I can sense an Apple, no idea why though!
@LairyT – Certainly, let me know when you’ve used your best Psychic powers to work it out and I’ll post it when I’m there 🙂
If anyone else wants me to…and if I’m permitted to, I can add your psychic prediction to the Science Museum box when I go up there 🙂
…I said that twice. I thought the first one hadn’t worked you see 🙂
I think it is an arrow
Derren, I dont want to go to london so i’m quite happy to guess from here.
Its a clock, with the hands at 9 o’clock of course.
Next challenge please.

Love it, Ginger. I’m definately going now!
I think a cat or house or is that too obvious?! Thinking about this is going to drive me mad! Maybe she has drawn the lovely derren! Lol, i suppose that is not really simple though! So gutted i cant nip there to post my idea! There are a lot of circular guesses…
I agree with all the non-londoners that these should be held in other places, such as LEEDS!!! Hehe 😀
Hm, apparently people like guessing what it is ….
The wires … have been connected and music is playing …
Since I didn’t have time to go to the science museum today, I have used logic to have a guess…
On the bollards in the road, there is a symbol missing, which is a circle with an arrow pointed diagonally down to the left
As there are lots of circular designs behind the picture and arrows leading to it…
And as it is a “design” not a picture…
My guess is a circle with an arrow pointed diagonally down to the left
I think it’s a rocket!
I think it’s the four of diamonds…
or maybe a cat with his tail sticking up some and stripes across his belly
According to twitter we’ll be able to making guesses online as well.
If she’s been following this blog at all then it will be a tea cup or tea pot!
It’s an aeroplane?

I’m 4.2% certain it’s a picture of Martine McCutcheon knitting a scarf
i dont have any psychic ability. 🙁 but i’m sure derren knows what it is.
Can’t see myself making it to the Science Museum – am guessing it’s a bird of some sort
… or a car!!
Hmmm…. can’t get to take part so I’ll just have to have a punt from home. I’m guessing it’s an arrow.
Kind of interesting where it’s placed. On a sort of walkway facing towards the barrier so there’s no way to look at it head-on. You’d have to view it from below, or craning your neck from the side. Is that so lots of people can see it at once, or so you can’t concentrate on the picture itself without getting loads of peripheral stuff at the same time.
It’s a Science Museum so I reckon she’s drawn something to promote science. It’s probably the planet Saturn with a nice, big circular ring (like the one on the map).
No-one seems to have said this yet, so I thought I’d let you guys know- Derren put on Twitter:
“There will be a chance to try this online too, if you can’t get to the museum, nearer to the show going out.”
Yayyy! Now I don’t have to make the long trek down to London! 🙂
Hmm, if he hasn’t really had a chance to influence what was drawn and perhaps doesn’t know what it is, then how can he influence us to guess correctly?
I suspect that this exercise is in fact completely random and the objective is to ensure that the people who (by chance) happen to guess correctly pass onto the next stage, do so with the false belief that they are perhaps psychic. This would make them more susceptible to whatever he has in store for them!
so loads of us cant get there, derren should put somethin in other museums around the country so we could all visit……. doi get a prize though for semi second guessing what he would be doin next phillis…. i said he would pull a stunt like this in the “lost competion,winner found” 19th post… we are all wrong its gonna be an alien
My first thought was a cat….because that’s what everyone draws, isn’t it? But then I thought maybe a pen or pencil. This is an interesting new layer on the Events. Can’t wait to see how it all unfolds (even if I’m watching from the sidelines)
Well since it’s time to take a random guess I would have to use my senses and say…
A rose.
Or at least some sort of flower possibly.
Well – As my “it’s a ruler” comment didn’t get posted, I can only assume I was right 🙂
– oops sorry Gaz, no idea where that one went, not intentional – the odd one does tend to get lost in the spam filters. 😮 Phillis
But then, being the blind arse that I am, I didn’t see that it *did* get posted. Balls.
Could you not wait another fortnight?
Well I hope there will be more stuff to take part in…
What I don’t understand is that there are still people who think the lovely Derren is trying to be psychic. Goodness sakes, watch his shows… it’s all explained there. No-one is trying to be psychic, it’s a fun experiment… isn’t that right Mr. Brown? lol 😀
Well excited about this!! Yippeee!!
– No Hannah, Derren IS psychic and will melt the brain of anyone who argues with him. 😉 – Phillis
Ohhhh, I’m thinking I know where I’m going as the last big thing before school starts =D
