That Derren Brown advert...

[TheEnd]

I saw it earlier, thought nothing much of it, but it's hit the front page of youtube

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bb-JcgmyM0c&fea...
"can you spot the hidden messages?"

OK...
I'll play ball, walk straight into the marketing, but it might be fun.

So, there doesn't seem to be anything too hidden, especially with a pause button, and already there is a list in the youtube comments

The truck has "red and black" written on the front
a website stucktomysofa.com is in the bus stop
retsehcnamdetinu.com is on the billboard (and a manchester united balloon too)

Apparent lottery numbers (2/25/0/6/47 ?)on the lamp post, and "it will be you" on the bus

Some people walk forwards, others backwards, and there is a bloke running for a taxi with a white ring on his back...

Forward, is says
"Magic has always been based on tricks of illusion and deception, the secrets of which, have been passed down through the generations but still remain potent, and in this world of mass communication and big business, even the simplest tricks can make the most secure systems vulnerable...If you know where to look. Over the last year I've been working on four events of misdirection, I'll let you in on the inner workings of each stunt and show you how you can get away with it"

So...
are there any hidden messages of note?

I reckon:

He made up climate change.

Obama is actually white.

Gordon Brown is a Jim Henson Muppet

Michael Jackson is still alive, but now goes under the name 'Lady GaGa'

Try visiting the websites you can see in the ad!

i've been to both, the manchester united one is a bit vague, nothing in the source, mention of someone being hypnotised after looking at the big screen, but the name is an anagram of audience (Ian Ducee), the other name is an anagram of Derren Brown.

The pizza one doesn't have much at all in it, apart from his face tiled in the background. Both link to his main site, and nothing hidden in the source

I was hoping to find a massive hidden web, but not much about from what i can see

are the lottery numbers shown in this clip the correct ones he predicted? if so this advert was aired before the lottery results took place?

eh?

Ah, you didn't get the third web address then?

You have to be a bit more clever than just looking for something with .co.uk or .com at the end...

If "0" was there then I don't think they were ever lottery numbers as "0" isn't a lottery number.

I only got the first 8 web addresses, the subliminal flash messages and the infrasound message played in the background.
