|
|
I know there is already a topic for this somewhere, but I can't find it.
Everyone seems to think it involves a scale, I was so sure I even designed my own using a cashier's balance.
However, I asked Derren Brown, and he said that everyone thinks its done with a scale, and everyone's wrong.
Obviously he's a proffesional liar, but he seemed sincere. _________________ Mommy says I'm special... |

I presume you asked "is it done with a scale?" rather than "how did you do the button trick?" _________________ All the best,

The conversation went pretty well like this -
Me: "Look, I have to ask, counting buttons. It's done with a scale in the table isn't it?"
Derren: "No. Everyone seems to think that, but I try to keep electronic things down to a minimum. I used to do it with smarties, you can do it with anything with lots of colour"
Me: "It's just I saw you do it live once, and someone dropped some buttons and you got very aggitated saying 'in the bowl or on the tray please'"
Derren: "I had probably got it wrong already hadn't I?" (He had, by one button) "That gets me aggitated 'cause its such a great trick"
Me: "oh well,"
There followed the continued groveling and butt kissing - after all, it was Derren Brown. _________________ Mommy says I'm special... |
