Derren Brown beats 9 chess players simultaneously.
BackThis is a video cut from "Trick of The Mind" series aired in the UK. The clip here is taken directly from Season 1 -- Episode 1.
This is one of my favorite segments done by Derren. It explains for the most part how he did achieve the feat, and the trick is quite clever. Don't get too hung up on the ending though; it's merely a trick.
I've got all of Derren's work on my computer, and if you're interested in somehow obtaining the information, email me at tranceriver@gmail.com and we'll talk.
Cheers

this is obvious. this trick isn't anything new. only the part about predicting the numbers is truly boggling

My favorite part. "I've spent a year planning this. In that time, I've been reading transcripts and I've been trying to familiarize myself with your games... What's your name?"

It amazes me how Derren gets the pieces left on the board correct.
There is one possible explanation. Maybe Derren studied the games of all the players in great detail and noticed that for each player, whenever they finished playing a game, there were always around the same number of pieces left on the board with that player. Maybe it only varied by a few pieces. That means all Derren had to do was lose/gain 1 or 2 pieces and offer an ending to the game at the right time.

I'm very impressed with Derren's method on this one. Very, very clever.
