Derren Brown - The Events - How to Take Down a Casino
Main article: How to Take Down a Casino
On 2 October, [13] Brown attempted to beat the odds at roulette by calculating the winning number based on the speed and trajectory of the ball and wheel. Using ? 5,000 of a member of the public's money, which he acquired by hypnotising them in the street, Brown aimed to win ? 175,000 for them. Filming with hidden cameras at a secret location in mainland Europe, Brown in fact made an incorrect prediction, betting on black 8 while the winning number was the adjacent red 30. The show ended on this anticlimax, with the accomplice informed that he would be repaid the ? 5,000. A stage hand was visible at the end of the show waiting with a large cheque worth ? 180,000, the amount the accomplice would have received if Brown's prediction had been accurate.
Brown said on his blog hours later that he was "still reeling from tonight's escapade", and in a self-deprecating YouTube video the next week (delivered as an impersonation of Stewie Griffin), Brown remarked that he had "fucked it up" and He called it an "epic fail".
