That’s right!! I’m going to teach you a simple magic trick which you can impress your friends and family, especially your mom (it’s Mothers’ Day). It’s a pretty cool trick which falls under the category of Mentalism, also known as Mental Magic or mind reading. You don’t have to be a psychic to know what’s on their mind..
I’ll let this be as simple as possible for you. NO, this is not the usual common magic trick you can find.
- Think of a number from 1 – 9
- Multiply it with number 2
- Add it with number 5
- Multiply it with number 5
- (To make it difficult for me to read your mind) Think of another number from 1 – 9 and add into the total
- Then you should be able to know your final result.
If you’re going to impress someone with this trick, ask them to tell you the final result of the equation. Then you subtract the number (final result) with 25, of course – you need to do this in your head! Example: 89 – 25 = 64.
6 will be the first number of the person thought of, and 4 will be the last number. Is it correct to you? =) If you don’t understand, comment here and I’ll explain more in details. To make this effect awesome, make sure you don’t use any devices to calculate. Just act cool and experience how other people get amazed by you!
Before I take my leave, I want to wish my lovely mom and grandma, and all the mothers around the world – HAPPY MOTHERS’ DAY!!
Signed,
AL
P.S: I’m not spoiling the trick by teaching, I simply want people to learn simple tricks so they put a smile on their friends and family faces.. enjoy.

Magic with numbers are common indeed! Especially on screen/tv. When I was small, my dad used to tell me that the guy a.k.a the magician in the tv has super powers to read my mind and that kinda spooked me out! >.<" Haha!
nice post. thanks.
@Erica, Haha! That’s the easiest I can find to teach on my site here. =D
Your dad is cute. LoL! Does he still involve with magic now?
I hope he is.. magic is addictive anyway. Haha =D
@SL, Thanks! Hope you like my new magic video! xD
I know you’re not spamming =)

Actually, I love magic with numbers because they are easy as you just need to memorize the formula/method. ;D
Hey, there’s a lot of types to it, right? I want to learn more or all, can? XP Hehe… Street magic is fun too~
Aww….AL, thanks for complimenting that my dad’s cute~ He’s really cute and I love him very much! ^^ He’s still into magic but, now he loves to watch.

Haha! But magic with numbers are pretty limited. Have you thought of learning something else?
Maybe like, cards, coins, or magic which can be done with household items. Haha!
Of course, you can! I will cover all categories of magic, simple magics for everyone =D
Welcome! My parents just watched my videos for the first time, an hour ago. They were impressed!
Because I never really show it to them before. LoL! Maybe if you show The Apple video to your dad, maybe he can tell you how it was done =D

I’d love to learn other tricks but it requires fast hand movements, right? It’s about the hand being quicker than the eyes thingy…which, I might just fail terribly… =P Hahaha!
But, I can stack up several decks of cards to form a perfect sky-high piramid! I must admit I’m pretty good at it~ XD
Yay, AL’s giving free magic lessons to all so do stick to his blog like a bee to honey/flowers, ya all!!! ^^
Hahaha…now only your parents know about your bright career and videos? =P I’m sure they’re not only impressed but are also very proud of you and your achievements! ^^ Way to go, AL!
You know what, if I give my dad to see all your videos, I bet he can just crack the secret open like an egg but we all know it’ll still be a secret between us! Haha!
Erica´s last blog ..~D-I-Y : Tomato Scrub for Smooth Skin~
You can learn those simpler tricks which has less or NO sleight of hands involved. Haha
Oh, I just did that with my cards – build pyramids, but I used cellophane tape ><"
Haha! You ah.. why don't you ask your dad to teach you any of his secrets?
LoL! I never really have time to show them before this, all of us were busy.
Most of the family are at different countries because of working.
Haha! You can try. And you can do it yourself if he was right about the explanation. =)
No harm anyway, we all love magic, as long as none of us reveal the secret to anyone, in order to conceal the fun and excitement =D

No magic tricks in Ripley’s – just some mathematical puzzles : )
