Derren Brown is a 38 year old illusionist and he recently announced he is working on a new trick. Just last week Brown successfully predicted the lottery numbers that would be drawn in a UK lottery and now he is working on a stunt that involves the roulette wheel.

Brown is working to earn one of his fans £175,000 on a single spin of the roulette wheel. Brown will be bringing 5,000 cash with him to a casino along with an unsuspecting viewer of his television show. The viewer will find out what Brown is doing only minutes before he spins the roulette wheel.

The stunt is called How To Beat A Casino and will be screened on October 2nd. A spokesman for the show commented: “Derren will gamble £5,000 of someone’s savings on the roulette wheel. They won’t even know it’s their cash until the night of the show when Derren calls them.”

This stunt sounds really interesting. Hopefully Derren will be able to get the numbers right so he wins the money for the viewer and doesn’t blow their savings!
