Nice sleight of hand with the orange ball by Derren!

Derren's trick in guessing correctly which square the ball will land in, on the squash court, is actually more impressive than would be a win at the roulette wheel; since, with the latter, there are only 37 numbers; whereas the court was divided into 100 squares

It isn't, because in roulette both the wheel and the ball are moving.

Anyone notice the squash ball bumping off what seems like invisible walls as it begins to come to rest in 37? It seems to quite obviously bounce of the left hand line of the 37 square and then back again off the right hand line before stopping. I'm guessing perspex partitions around the court...?

@michaelinlatvia Thats exactly why casinos in the 60's moved from using a single deck of cards to perhaps 3 or 4 decks to make memorising them more difficult, but it can be done and you can learn how to do it. The trick is not letting anyone know that that is what you are doing. Re4ad the book "Beat The Dealer", which outlines a number of different card counting systems. Roulette is always in the casino's favour as you have a green zero so it is not a 50% bet in the first place.

Depending on your bank their statement cycle is from the 23rd of the month to the 22nd of the following month, therefore he would not necessarily have received his statement in order to check it

The squash court was probably editing misdirection. He play a number guess game with the girl to film her reaction, and then made it seem like he was gonna calculate the landing number with a new voiceover. (thus the possibly non-simultaneous video insert on screen)

@computersolutions164 Its impossible because a roulette wheel is something called a chaotical system. The trajectory of the ball is hypersensitive to small changes of the parameters. You can try spinning the wheel and throwing the ball in the excact same why over and over again and you will find that the result will vary every time.

@michaelinlatvia Tell me something if the casinos have nothing to worry about why has Derren been banned from most of them at one time or another. Whether it be card counting, roulette or whatever. There is no denying that he has a pretty good memory, which he plays to his advantage. Casinos rely on people not having such a good memory as he does. Roulette is different as maths and physics are involved, rather than just remembering cards

If you listen carefully Derren says that ".....you applied to be on the show" therefore the contestant must have known something in advance about needing money to perform the stunt, I did not see any advertisements looking for contestants though

It was in a tiny box. To read the message it had to be unfolded. If the LUCKY guy gets it he walks away(applause) unfolds it and perhaps later reads the message and gives it to her through simply. She was ready to take it in the box but Derren demands she unfolds it in publc. Give it to the "other person"...not "lucky guy"....other person. Seems to work either way right? Great hypnotist but NOT phsicist/mathematician. Other questions MR. IBM?

Go on then tell us why ? Not forgetting physics and maths of course, trajectories of things moving, missiles, balls or whatever has been known for a long time. the first IBM computers were developed for this purpose (IBM 701 Defence Computer) So tell us why you think this stunt is impossible then

There is lots to disect. I admired Derren but this one is too far. !st the casino perspective re: the stunt. 1. Been watching the wheel for hours yet walks ther so what of the seen spins? 2. With modern tech he enters and the images are soo poor yet suddenly improve at the table. 3.Look at his sleeve...We can see a camera but the dealer cant?4. Mainland EU yet dealer clearly announces no more bets in English. Rarely the case. 5. no hand signal to cease betting.....

And 2 last points. If you watched ALL the events he was "obsessing" over this for a year but..also..obsessing about the Nat. Lot for a year. WOW! Been busy ''obsessing". I am glad you place you faith in computers and science as by doing so, you have to accept that the odds of completing one of these feats with or without tech is far fetched let alone two! Great showman, wish I could do his face to face cold reading, suggestion misdirection. No Scientist! Great ARTIST!

6. He wont take a computer in due to risk..and if they find the camera? 7. No mention (or sight when discussing how to beat it) of the small bars that help to rebound the ball as it drops.(re point 1..UNseen spins) 8. Casinos share info and if it where posible Wheels would be removed. 9. He is a GREAT hypnotist,psychologist but if he could dothis why not go down in history as a great physicist/maths exp. Oh another thing. The 20pound note folded tightly. The girl wanted to walk with it...

At some point he says "I've been watching this wheel for a couple of houres, but I want to watch it a little bit more". How could he watch a wheel when he hasn't gone in yet? It could have been recorded at a studio or something, using a tricked wheel (if that exists). This could be the reason why he couldn't show the casino he was in.

@michaelinlatvia You who has worked in the casino bussiness, could you tell me if it would be possible to make some kind of tricked roulette wheel so that the ball always ends up in number 30? If so, I'd guess he filmed it in a studio.

When he walks up to Ben the first time you can hear Derren say: Ben! Hello! You volunteered to take part in the show, didn't you? That probably means that they got a hold of a lot of information on Ben.
