I think its a moot point the trick being exposed. A) how many people in the uk will have seen this? B) the trick is so simple to reverse engineer, its irrelevent. I know people will say they wont and I'm sure some wont, but I bet tons do. Of course you've created that moment of wonder by then so it doesn't matter.

From THE TWITTERS
David Meade @DavidMeadeLive "It's a fairly well known bar bet in uni's here. Someone's selling it? That's hilarious!" "by the end if the year everyone in my course knew it/was doing it as a party piece. It's in public domain here." |

Thank you guys for bringing this to our attention.
We would just like to first reiterate that Serial was an independent creation of Tom Wright with extra scripting by David Penn. Whilst anyone can claim they came up with something independently and have been performing something for a long time, this seems like a stretch to us. The scripting is almost identical. The handling is almost identical. If it is public domain and people have been performing it for years like Mr Mead has apparently said publically on his twitter, it should be easy for him to prove. And when we say prove, I don’t think a few of his mates saying they saw him do it, will really hold up. Some people are so desperate for material for TV shows they will stoop to any level to fill air time and be a star, and some of them don’t wear masks. Perhaps someone could post on Mr Mead’s Twitter and ask him if he is prepared to clear this up with a little more than hearsay for a defence. We will give Mr Mead the chance to respond and then we will have to deal with this privately. Thanks once again for bringing this to our attention. David Penn and Tom Wright

I was the person that sent David and Tom a Private video you tube link to the exposure.
as to tell you the truth when I saw David Meade perform it on TV I thought he did a great job with it, and totally had everyone in the audience baffled, THEN he ruined it by exposing the simple secret, The exposure did not add anything to the effect and actually cheapened the whole show, a real shame as It was not needed in this case. also its not fair on all the magicians out there who have actually laid out good cash to learn it, lucky its just on Irish TV and not mainstream TV, but still a shame that someone who has managed to get his own TV show, can come down so low and have to resort to exposure for no reason what so ever.

It did seem similar in more ways than one... but my suspicions are not evidence.
I was gutted enough that the broadcast performance of the trick tipped the method before he exposed it totally... It's a weird one, because there's plenty of strong material in his shows. |

It was northern Irish tv
If you show people enough like that they realise that his strange holding hands bit was all fake too- before long they are second guessing everything I have never heard of it, coming from where the show is filmed - went to the local university, nobody has ever mentioned it or showed me it, nor had I heard of it in this fashion until the serial effect here My question earlier in the thread about using our local bank notes didn't seem to hold either - a Bank of England £5 was used

Derren Brown has just promoted David Meade on the Twitters :-S David links to his iplayer show.
Oh wells, I'm sure most people who see it will forget how it's done anyway. (I miss Simon Day's voiceover btw) |

Nice
"The New York Papers," Mark Twain once said,"have long known that no large question is ever really settled until I have been consulted; it is the way they feel about it, and they show it by always sending to me when they get uneasy. "
