It's quite simple. It's just a math formula. All it comes down to is your number, with the formula, ending up to be a multiple number of 9. And it's also flash. Choose the number 9 each time...look at the other symbols that are multiples of 9...so 18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63, 72, 81. They're all the same symbol. They add in all those other ones to confuse you, and the change it up to string you along with the illusion. <a href="http://www.nicksimonsen.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/math-forumla.jpg" rel="nofollow">Click here to see what I mean...</a> Hello Tina.

Fortunately, and I do mean this with all do respect to everyone that deals with magic tricks in general, this isn't the type of trick that scam people, it could...but it doesn't. My lack of love towards magic, particularly street magic, comes to the fact that there are some out there to scam people of their money. Though I should have mentioned it, this one time, I saw this one guy make over $100 in a matter of 15 minutes. 15 minutes! And I don't think anyone else was seeing how th card trick was performed. When I approached him questioning his methods, he rather all of a sudden was in a hurry to leave. Now, I personally put special effects in a different category. The effects need to be fake. You don't want to be actually put someone's life in danger without proper procedures to keep them safe. That is why CG special effects, stunt actors, makeup artist, and so forth, are expert in their field to present an illusion that may or may not be possible in reality. But most of that is solely for entertainment. And so is magic. I've just seen too many scam artist using magic tricks to lure the unexpected. And really, I just feel I don't really have much of a choice but to watch helplessly. Who am I to judge one's behavior? With all do respect Peter, I didn't mean to offend you in my post, and I sincerely apologize if I did. You know I don't mean no harm with my words ;) magic trick
