Simple but very effective, this classic trick will have your friends and family amazed at your magic powers! I tried it for some slightly inebriated pals at a party, and they thought it was incredible - mwah hwah hwah!
better explanation than most books on mentalism. funny prose, clear illustrations on my kindle. the technique really is easy to learn.very nicely done, Mr. Smile!
Here's what I love about this book: It delivers exactly what it promised. It has one main point, it writes about that one main point very well, and there is no fluff. If this book was anything like most of the other eBooks I've read lately, it should have had 2 or 3 chapters telling you "why this is such a cool trick" or trying to convince you to really learn it, or blah blah blah.Nope. The author gets right to the point. He teaches you the technique quickly, gives you a few examples, and tells you to go have fun! I also admired the books humorous nature. It's funny because it's so down to earth, and it doesn't try to pretend to be anything it's not.So what is this technique? It's basically a mathematical trick that allows you to create a "magic square". A magic square is a square full of numbers that add up to a specific number. It adds up to that number if you add the numbers across the rows horizontally, vertically, and in a bunch of other configurations. You basically ask your participant to give you a number, and then you can create this square in seconds (with a bit of practice). It would definitely impress almost everybody, and it's a great trick to learn for that very reason!Well done, sir. I will check out your other books.
In just a few short pages, Lewis explains how to easily perform a seemingly difficult feat of mind power. The basic concept has been around for a bit but it's not as easy to find as it once was. The basic routine could be done as part of an impromptu, close-up act or incorporated as an opener to a full-evening's mentalist's show. The method is solid, not difficult and adaptable.Smile also offers a few tips on how to perform the routine that may be helpful. The Magic Square isn't performed too often so for many, this will appear to be a brand-new, never-seen-before presentation. I think if this was incorporated into a blindfold act, the effect on an audience would be very strong.
This is further proof that things that look complex are actually pretty simple. This will help me teach that numbers can be fun.
I love doing magic tricks to impress my friends and new acquaintances. For a long time I used to carry a deck of cards with me wherever I went but this is a trick you can do with just a pen and a piece of paper. I can't wait to try it out.
This is more of a pamphlet than a book. It strikes me as being similar to the small pieces Sherlock Holmes would reference. " just finished my monograph on the preferred shoe lace knotting techniques of East Indian sailors, my dear Watson". A well written, instructional treatise on one rather obscure topic. It works perfectly, is well worth twice the price and should be treated with the respect that a weightier tome would gather. It is small in stature, but like all the best illusions, stunts and acts, packs flat, Plays Big, buy it now.
I was watching Now You See Me, totally awesome movie by the way I give 2 thumbs up with a rating of 10! When you read the book it is going to amaze your own senses first. Then you will want to practice, I personally a going to do 1 through 50, over and over again until it is muscle memory and then I will work on the magicality of this amazing amalgamation of math and magic. I only wish that it had a workbook.
