There is only logical explanation of how Derren Brown could have known the lottery numbers before they were drawn.

He is, in fact, God.

It is true, DB doesn't look like many people's idea of an Omnipotent Creator. No religion, for example, has ever described the Almighty as someone quite so smug.

But still this can only because we have all been taken in by his enormous (in fact we now know infinite) powers of Misdirection.

Please, Oh Omiscient Lord Derren, as I am the first to reveal the Truth, send me a Private Message with this Saturday's numbers. I will climb any mountain to collect the stone tablets if necessary - and if there is still time left to buy the tickets

Amen.
