I'm sorry, but I just think this is hilarious. Your brother just pulled a trick on you, somehow. Just cause there's no clock in the room, or one you can see, or whatever, doesn't mean he didn't trick you, doens't mean he didn't know what time it is.
Think about it - why did he ask YOU to get the phone? Why didn't he just get it? Cause - the effect is more dramatic when you got the phone.
Magicians make a living out of doing the same thing. And, the funniest part, is that they LIE right to you as they do the trick. They tell you "the audience isn't in on it" when, well, in fact, the audience IS in on it, among other things.
I did a similar "psychic" thing to a friend years ago in college. We had a phone that would "chirp" just slightly before it rang. I mean, if you weren't paying attention, you'd never hear it. once it made this almost inaudible noise, you knew it was going to ring. Both my roommate and I knew about it.
Sitting with my friend one time, I suddenly got up and went to the phone. She asked my why I did it, and I said the phone was about to ring. Sure enough, it did, and my friend just could not believe it. Had I not told her, she'd still think it was psychic phenomena to this day....
