Are you tired of doing the same old card tricks to impress your friends? Are you ready to step up your game and blow their minds with a new kind of trick? Look no further! Our team has discovered the ultimate mind trick with numbers that will leave your friends in awe.
How to Do a Magic Trick with Numbers?
You don’t have to be a math genius to pull off this trick. All you need is a piece of paper and a pen.
- Ask your friend to think of a two-digit number, but not to tell you what it is.
- Ask them to add the two digits together.
- Next, ask them to subtract the total from their original number.
- Have them circle the resulting number on the paper.
- Now comes the magic part. Without looking at the paper, you can tell them what number they circled.
How Does a Number Trick Work?
The key to this trick is in the math. When you subtract the sum of the digits from the original number, the resulting number will always be a multiple of nine.
For example, let’s say your friend chooses the number 37. The sum of the digits is 3+7=10. Subtracting 10 from 37 gives us 27, which is a multiple of nine.
After this step, all the remaining numbers after you subtracted the sum of the digits from the original number will have the same single-digit digit sum as your original number. This means that they will be any number between 1 and 9, depending on the single-digit digit sum of the original 2 digit number.
So when your friend circles their resulting number, you just have to look for the multiple of nine, and you know immediately what the number is.
What is the 9 Number Trick?
You can take this mind trick to the next level by using the power of the number nine.
- Ask your friend to think of a two-digit number again, but to keep it a secret.
- Ask them to add the two digits together as before.
- Now, have them subtract the total from their original number, but to repeat this step three more times.
- When they have gone through all the steps, have them tell you the resulting number.
- You can quickly tell them what the original number was by looking at the resulting number.
How does this work? When you subtract the digits from the original number four times in a row, the resulting number will always be a multiple of nine.
For example, let’s say your friend chooses the number 86.
- The original number is 86. The sum of its digits is 8+6=14. Subtracting 14 from 86 gives us 72.
- The resulting number is 72. The sum of its digits is 7+2=9. Subtracting 9 from 72 gives us 63.
- The resulting number is 63. The sum of its digits is 6+3=9. Subtracting 9 from 63 gives us 54.
- The resulting number is 54. The sum of its digits is 5+4=9. Subtracting 9 from 54 gives us 45.
- The resulting number is 45, which is a multiple of nine. So the original number must be as well. In this case, the number is 86.
