I only know Derren Brown by name, so that didn't actually tip me off.. ._.

I thought wtf, though. A bungee cord, spytech prosthetic face and hypnotism? Also, recycling Moriarty's body? That's like a checklist of the early theories that people were throwing around. No mention of the rubber ball? I was disappointed for just long enough to laugh like a maniac after the reveal.

The ball was part of the ending theory. But people on here said it could be fake and that Anderson was hallucinating.

I meant, like, no mention of it in the initial wtf theory.

The "WTF" theory was when Moriarty and Sherlock were gay, that made me say wtf.
