OUT-THINKING THE COUNTER FACTUALS

Postby dat8962 » Sep 10th, '09, 10:17



Did anyone hear TM's very own Dr. Todd live n Radio Five Live this morning?

The news item in question was of course Derren's lottery prediction which is covered in a thread elsewhere and Dr. Todd was the expert asked to provide comment and answer questions.

I thought that Todd gave an excellent account of the subject without giving anything away and came up with one of the best quotes in a long time which the Five Live crew couldn't sop repeating for sime time afterwards :lol:

The "out-thinking the counter factuals" statement was fully and very logically explained. The highlight of the day so far!

Would make a great title for a show Todd :wink: If you're not using it - can I?

I hadn't thought of iPlayer to be honest but since it's mentioned I'd recommend that everyone takes a listen.

Dr. Todd gave a wonderful account of both the event and magic in general. He was and is a great ambassador for our art.

I must find out when he's next in the Midlands with his show - it's definitely worth seeing for a second time.

And fast forward to 2hrs 40 minutes, 35 seconds, almost at the end.
