Route 17 14th September 2009 So how did Derren predict the Lotto? BY ELLEN OREILLY Knock knock: President Barack Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton share a laugh before to his speech Obama heckler says hes sorry US PRESIDENT Barack Obama was heckled by a politician as he delivered a major speech on health- care reforms. As Mr Obama assured Congress his controversial proposals would not mean insuring illegal immigrants, Republican Joe Wilson shouted you lie. The president replied thats not true, before continuing. The South Carolina congressman was later criticised by Republicans and Democrats. He was totally disrespectful, said Mr Obamas one- time rival, senator John McCain. There is no place for it in that setting, or any other. Mr Wilson later apologised for his lack of civility. Internet users claim to have cracked lottery balls trick HE APPEARED to do the impossible but it was obviously a trick. And quite how illusionist Derren Brown predicted the UK lottery numbers live had the internet buzzing with scores of theories yesterday. A total of 2.7million people tuned into Wednesdays Channel 4 broad- cast when Brown wrote down the winning sequence as it was called on BBC1 then walked across the screen to turn round a set of balls and, lo and behold, they were the same numbers. The most plausible theory yester- day came from a YouTube user who said the screen was split, with Brown in one half and the stationary balls and background in the other. At one point, the left side of the screen is frozen and an accomplice replaces the blank balls with the num- bers of the winning ones. The screen is then unfrozen before Brown walks across and does the reveal. The user even claims there is a point in the video footage after a little cam- era shake when one of the balls ap- pears to be a little higher. Is this the answer? Brown promises to reveal all on Channel 4 tonight. VIEWERS ThEORIES n Derren Brown is just magic, he guessed the numbers correctly Aimee n If it was real then why did he not buy a ticket, claim the winnings and give them to charity? Then there would be no doubt in anyones mind as to the authenticity of it all. Hayley n sorry...I am a cameraman, and the camera is handheld... so you could never sync up a handheld shot with a split screen... it is impossible. Phil, Belfast n The lottery is filmed and drawn at 8pm then broadcast at 10:35, audience member lets Derrens team know 2.5 hours before. Its that simple. Oliver, London n If the numbers had been pre-placed on the rack, why are they placed so untidily? Lawrence Felice Trick: Brown watches the lottery on TV, but how did he get the numbers right?
