Gearing up for 09.09.09; the start of The Events. The first night could be a career-breaker. Will tell all nearer the time.
For now, here’s another picture of me on top of that bus: I posted a couple last November here, and here’s another one, showing a bit more.
It’ll all make sense. You saw it here first, folks. I said at the time it should pay off in 2009: well, we’re nearing the crunch. If it all goes boobies-up, blame those pesky kids: I would have gotten away with it if it wasn’t for them.
Thanking you. Please continue.

Very excited! Looking forward to see the event! Is 09.09.09 the air date?
Looking forward to seeing you in the dole queue… I’ll be the one signing you!
i just came over all giddy, i think it was the joy in the faces of the small children. I’m sure they have no idea how lucky they are, do they even know who you are?!?!
Lol!
I love the Scooby reference yay!
I didn’t register and no doubt am too late to now
Hope it all goes according to plan though, best of luck
i love not having a clue wtf this is about!
Thats my birthday…….
I can’t wait!
Derren, you scare me and yet I am totally committed to trusting your every word,( and I should be committed!)
well if the tv career goes belly up least you have your amazing artwork to fall back on…i for one will still come and watch your shows and i am sure i am not the only one….whatever you do…its fabulous !
Exciting! Looks like fun?
Oh by the way… I think Derren should caricature the pictures taken of fans taken on his recent tour… that would be SO awesome
And yes I’m just saying that because I am one of them…
Just found this after many years of Derren watching. Very enjoyable to read. *Presses fingers to temple*. To the rest of you non-psychic ingrates, that was a “KTHXBAI”.
Edd – yep they’ll be four live episodes in sept
Nina, if your birthday is the 09.09.09, you’ve yet to be born. Welcome to the past, future girl!
I never realised how many children you have — who would have thought!!
You ARE being a tease over The Events; building up the suspense until we are almost bursting with anticipation. Knowing you though it will be worth the wait.
Hope the career doesn’t suffer because I want to see the stage show again next year and will be very annoyed if it is cancelled. Also don’t know if the Jobcentre caters for mentalists looking for a job. You might have to take something else.
Looking forward to more info nearer the time.
Good luck with tweeting

PAR-TAY BUS!!!
So this could all go ‘boobies-up’, could it? No, no, no, surely not, Derren.
Yeah, love the Scooby-Doo reference too and great pic!
Now I even more can’t wait for Sept 9th! I’m absolutely intrigued…
care, and hang in there…we’re all behind you, Derren!
LC x
Oops that should have said TAKE care! Doh! Oh it’s late, I’m tired and I need my bed…..
LC x
Yay, can’t wait. Lots of luck.
Looking forward to finding out what its all about….. Kids on the bus, eh… could be a career-breaker – for the best or the worst?
*thinks about what derren has done before with kittens, guns, etc*
Eeek….. *thinks* Oh and then there was the trip to Hamleys around the same time wasn’t there… oooooooo *looks totally lost*.
xx
The anticipation is killing me… good luck!
WEEEEEEE!
a very special date, indeed.
use the cross sum of 9+9+9, do the calculation again, and there u end up with 9 again.
works with 4*9 just as much, as with 5*9.
I wonder if the 9 society has a special celebration for that date…
it probably never returns again.
Sooo curious! and such a lovely piccie
Awww, you look good with kids!

I was part of the audience for the second episode but no worries, my lips are sealed :-#
Very much looking forward to September
X x X x
@TrueAphrodite Won’t come back for another millennium, but unless they figure out immortality it won’t be one they see.
And yes, 09.09.09 is indeed an auspicious date to pick. Best of luck with preparations!
I’m on the list!!! Hope i get tickets as im on hol in london from the 11th…… just a shame coops couldnt swing it when we were talkin to him at the lowry, waiting to pass you the mini boomerang kit. They look like pesky kids, lets just hope it all works out. good luck and cant wait for “the event”
Won’t somebody please think of the children!!
Ah, look at all the little people, so very cute…
Oh, exciting stuff, 09.09.09 , hmmm, that 999, wait a minute…that’s 666 upside down!!!… ahhh…
(and that’s enough of that…)
OH well you can always take up a new job solving mysteries in exchange for scooby snacks
Lovely photo.
What about the first night might make it a career-breaker? Trying something new? Now I’m curious…
What a happy looking man you are!
And to think, you’re so happy AT WORK!
I can’t wait to hear about the Events. I will have to enjoy vicariously, being in NZ. I’ll have to plan trips back to the US some time in the future when you jump the pond. Vegas, Baby!
Can’t wait for The Events. : )
I’ve been playing with that little fascinating advertisement-thing we got in those enigmatic (sorry!) black envelopes at the show since July! mmh, very excited.
Even in those lovely coats, you all look freezing. x
It’s on at 9pm too – and watch PARTICULARLY close at 9Hrs09mins09secs – 090909090909.
if you can work that out what that means at this point then you are in line for a BIG surprise. (but you wont!)
We’d be grateful if people didn’t email this about as well as we like to keep this on the blog – thanks.
Hmmm,
Incidentally Derren my good fellow… in the unlikely event you should happen to need a trip to the job centre, when they ask what your previous line of work/experience is…
for the love of ‘god’ don’t say: “I’m a mentalist”!
These places now have security y’know and you might happen to find yourself ejected pretty quickly
Peace people!
It’s going to be Derren dancing naked @ 090909090909. That must be why he is so worried about it being a ‘career-breaker’. x
Nooooo, am out of country on 9.9. Bother.
Surely it should be on at 9am then, as on that day 9 minutes and 9 seconds past 9pm is of course 09/09/09 21:09.09
[/pedantic tit]
Consider my breath baited….or that could be toothpaste….
eeee can’t wait
:) Gutted I go on holiday on the 8th though & won’t be back till the 24th!! Will sky+ every minute of it x
what’s the yellow thing?
Was that…was that a Scooby Doo quote?
hmm childeren hey? wonder how old they are to be taking part in a show after 9pm on the 9th of the 9th 2009? lol and how many childeren? lol
Cheers
Rob
I literally cannot wait!! Although I guess I’ll have to. Boo
Derren, whatever it is I’m sure it will be fantastico. Yippee! Excited!!
How cute?
(The kids that is, though Derren isn’t bad I suppose.)
Thanks Phillis. Sounds good.
x
Good luck Derren with whatever it is!
Am I correct in thinking that it will be on the next 3 Wednesdays after the 9th then?
27 days to goooo!
WHOOP!
Ah, so the kids were there indeed, as someone on this blog revealed to us a while ago (he probably was there during the shooting of that event). Nice pic, does not reveal much more than what you get to see when watching kids.
I hope it’s not on the next three Wednesdays or I’ll miss it
*cancels Vegas trip*
Hmm could Derren become a Father, Uncle, Godparent or a Foster Parent on 9/9/09? Oh another thought how close is it before Children In Need? I’ll just have to watch this space as I live in Washington State, America
Looks like DB is about to don a yellow Life Vest. ~ Trying out the new amphibious Routemaster in the Thames.

Just can’t wait until 9/09/09. I also haven’t got a clue what the Events are all about but I’m pretty sure your career will still be in tact, well, I hope so anyway. Just for the record, don’t think for one moment that you can get rid of ‘us’ that easily, we’re made of sterner stuff you know.
Congratulations on the exhibition Derren. You’ve talked about your hopes for an exhibition over the years and now you’ve fulfilled your dream. I wish you all the very best.
will i still be able to see the surprise… at 10pm on the 09.09.09??? GMT+1 is a bitch….
Whohooo, just seen the first advert on TV (thought they didnt start till tomorrow?). Looking very sexy as always…. cards eh? *is intrigued*
xx
How exciting just caught the ad on channel 4 of you and the jacket can’t wait to watch it. Love the scooby doo mention very funny x
A Derren Brown show going boobies-up? That’s about as likely as me missing the air date of the show! Basically, it’s just not happening!
Rock on, Derren!
I’ve got it!!!
I know what’ll happen at 9:09:09pm on 9/9/09
It’s easy when you think about it… It’s going to be a very popular show on channel 4, right?
So 9 mins and 9 seconds into the show… it’s gonna be bloody adverts isn’t it
(Well, I thought it was amusing
)
Peace people.
If its what i think it is, Then Good Luck to you.
Little Hint to my Theroy is that the Picture of Derren and the Kids isnt just a Picture for people to see, Its actually a Hint.
“Even the simplest tricks can make the most Secure Systems Vunerable”
Secure Systems Meaning a Bank. (Hence the Barclays Logo on the Balloon Held by the Kid Hence my Previous Theroy)
Looking Forward to it!
Fantastic! can’t wait for the new show. Seems like forever since the last show.
Damn your genious, my brother is constantly trying to figure out what your up to and babbling his theorys at me ;-P
Best of luck to you. I’m sure everyone is in for a treat! Theres no way anyone would be daft enough to cancel your show. EVER!
I’m confused, can anyone clarify beyond doubt when its airing? The trailer on C4 says 9pm but on the 11th not the 9th?? The listings for C4 show two ‘the events’ shows on the 9th (in addition to the 9pm show on Friday 9th) but at 10:35pm and the second straight after that 10:45pm? From what i can see, all we’re likely to see at 9mins and 9 seconds past 9pm on 09/09/09 is Gordon Ramsey swearing at someone?
I can’t wait! I’m sure it will work! I would still watch the shows even if it epically fails. Lol, I’m going to see Enigma for the second time in March, so I hope it works!
So…anyone at Brown Towers care to enlighten us about why this footage wasn’t shown? Or are we just to remain frustrated as hell?
Well all the random theories match up. There are 6 kids to pick the winning lottery balls and one bag to pick them out of……What on earth is happening here?
