Illusionist Derren Brown to play TV mind games

DERREN BROWN is hoping his number is up once more – to win a fortune for a member of the public at a casino.

The illusionist, who claimed to have “predicted” the National Lottery numbers last week, will gamble £5,000 of a TV viewer’s savings on a roulette wheel. The viewer will not even know it is their money until Brown calls them on the night of the show.

Casinos will pay out up to £175,000 if the correct digit is predicted, which would be paid to the viewer if Brown is correct.

Derren Brown: How To Beat A Casino -–the finale to Brown’s current series of stunts – will be screened on Channel 4 on October 2 at 9pm.

He is also attempting to use subliminal messaging techniques in a show to be screened tonight (fri) in which he says viewers will be stuck to their sofa.

Derren Brown: How To Control The Nation will show viewers a film which he claims will leave the TV audiences unable to move.
