Derren Brown

Derren Brown will attempt to predict the lottery results this Wednesday in the first episode of his new series, The Events.

The illusionist will broadcast live from a secret location and, in a television first, Channel 4 will show the event across its entire network on Channel 4, E4, More4, Film4 and 4 Music.

Following the live prediction, Derren will reveal on Friday 11th September at 9pm how he did it and how viewers at home can also do it.

Speaking about the stunt, he said: "I realise there are a lot of questions this brings up, and I hope they'll be answered on the Friday night show. For now, I'm really excited and really nervous and cannot tell you for sure how well it will work. Some things just have to be tried."

Derren's previous TV specials have included live Russian Roulette, a seance and a foolproof horse race gambling system.

Watch the video below as Derren explains more about The Events. You can see the lottery prediction live on Wednesday at 10.35pm.

    Derren is a psychological genius, I can't wait for this stunt... Amazing that a confirmed Athiest like Derren can make people believe in the Supernatural even when he always maintains that his stunts are real tricks and mind games...
