"I've been familiarizing myself with your games, whats your name?"
-
Man, off by a trillion.
-
'I've studied you all for a year. What's your name?' Haha this is too funny, and a wonderful illusion :)
-
And here's me not able to remember what i had for lunch yesterday.
-
"Congrats, you just played yourself that guy over there."
-
he says his chess is 'shit' yet genuinely beats the president of the chess society. Bet that guy feels like shit having learned that!
-
"Hey, I invited all of you just to prove that I can rek you easy in chess" What a gentleman.
-
these players were some of the most polite and generally pleasant people I’ve seen
-
4:27 what an awkward giggle xD
-
I think the grandmasters felt a lot better when they found out they were really playing postal chess with each other 😂
-
I struggle to believe none of these players realised what was happening, especially when they're playing different colours with the other boards obscured from vision. They also don't seem surprised that Derren would go all the way around the circle before making his move on the opening turn. On top of the fact that this is an extremely well known chess trick for simultaneous games.
-
That one guy was like “I’ve been grand champion three times of course i won”
-
The guy he played genuinely called him on par atleast with a grandmaster...
-
Next stage: Derren Brown (with a nuclear weapon) vs United Nation
-
I feel like a GM would be quite skeptical after 1. e4 and their opponent simply walks away instead of playing a simple opening move.

How the number prediction is done is shown at 6:18. It was a misdirection followed with the paper from the pocket being swapped for another, written after, in Derren's right hand. The later 'prediction' is then displayed with the original being hidden behind it. It also explains why the original prediction had the same first digit error as his whiteboard, he just remembered that wrong and it ended up on both. That swap took some serious skill.
-
So the results were: Table 1: Graham Lee (Fide Master) drew Table 5: Desmond Tan (Former England Jr), Table 2: John Emms (Grandmaster) lost to Table 6: Jonathan Lewitt (Grandmaster), Table 3: Julian Hodson (Grandmaster ) won Table 7: Chris Ward (Grandmaster), Table 4: Paul Littlewood (International Master) won Table 8: Nathan Alfred (Fide Master), Table 9: Robert Chan (President of Chess Society) lost to Derren Brown.

2:45 this dude 100% knew as soon as he just walked away without playing. No player would ever do that in a simul
-
"as for how I predicted the numbers... I don't remember good night" this guy is a legit legend what a smart-ass
-
Those are some incredible feats of memory right there.
