The illusionist is planning to visit a casino and gamble £5,000 of an unsuspecting fan's savings in a bid to secure £175,000, Channel 4 has said.
Viewers will watch the events unfold in an episode called 'How To Beat A Casino' on October 2.
A show spokesman told The Mirror: "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."
Earlier this month, Brown sparked a mystery by appearing to predict the National Lottery numbers as part of his new series The Events.
An insider told the Daily Star: "If you thought predicting the lottery numbers was impressive, wait until you see this. It's the last show in the series and Derren will definitely go out with a bang."
Meanwhile, tomorrow night's event will see Brown attempting to immobilise his viewers.
