Magic Tricks Using Maths

The world of magic on the face of it seems very distant from the logical precise, predictable world of mathematics.

Yet many of the greatest magic tricks ever seen rely heavily on maths to make them work. In this section we explore some of the best tricks so that you can amaze your friends.

Recurring Number Magic

Effect
You write down the following 8 digit number on a piece of paper:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 9

Then ask a friend to circle one of the digits. Say that they circle number 7.

You then ask your friend to multiply the 8 digit number by 63, and magically the result ends up being:

   1 2 3 4 5 6 7 9
x                     6 3
7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7     

with the answer as a row of the chosen number 7.

The Secret
When your friend circles a number, you need to multiply the chosen number by 9 in your head - if 3 was chosen you would work out 3 x 9 = 27. Then you need to ask your friend to multiply the 8 digit number by the number you have just worked out. In the case of 3 being chosen you ask your friend to multiply 12345679 by 27 and you magically get the answer 333333333.

 

THE NAME OF THE CARD IS...

Effect
You secretly predict which card will be chosen. Then you ask a friend to randomly select a number and count down that many cards in the deck. At first this card doesn't match your prediction, but after a few comical adjustments, the name of the card mysteriously appears!

Things you need
A deck of playing cards
A calculator
Paper and pencil

Preparing the trick
Put the 10 of Hearts in the eighteenth position down from the top of the deck.

The Secret
Announce that you are going to predict which card will be chosen from the deck. On a piece of paper, write: THE NAME OF THE CARD IS Fold the paper so that your friend doesn't see what you've written and put it aside until later. Ask your friend to:
1. Enter a 3-digit number into the calculator. (The first digit must be larger than the last digit.)     Example: 845
2. Reverse this number and subtract it from the first number. -548 3.

Add the digits in the answer. 297 2+9+7=18 The digits will always add up to 18!
Tell him to count down that many cards in the deck. It will be the 10 of Hearts.
Finally, ask him to open the piece of paper and read your prediction.
He'll read, "THE NAME OF THE CARD IS".

Say that you were in such a hurry that you forgot to finish your prediction. Then make these adjustments and his card will mysteriously appear!
-cross off the H in THE
-cross off the AME in NAME
-cross off the T in THE
-cross off the CD in CARD
-change the I in IS to a T by crossing the top

leaving THE TEN OF HEARTS

 

The Mysterious Aces

Effect
Three aces will magically appear when the great Mathematical Forces are called.

Things you need
A deck of cards

Preparing the trick
Pick out the aces and any 8. Then count down seven cards and place the 8 with the four aces underneath it. (In other words, the 8 is the eighth card and the aces are 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th cards down.)

The Secret
Ask a friend for a number between 10 and 20. (Be careful 10 works but 20 does not!) Deal out that number of cards into a pile one at a time. Ask your friend to add the digits of that number. Return that many cards to the top of the deck one card at a time. Turn over the top card and it will be and it will be an ACE. (Very cool!!) Set this Ace aside and put the small pile back on top of the deck. Repeat the trick two more times and get two more aces. Finally, pretend to ask the Lords of Maths for a sign as to where the other ACE is. Pretend that they tell you to turn over the top card. (It will be an 8) Count down that many cards and there will be the final ACE!!! (A quick example...count out 15 cards one at a time... then put six back one at a time...and turn over the top card .... An Ace!!!)

Number Card Magic
Make 5 cards the same as these:

Card A 1 3 5 7 9 11 13 15 17 19 21 23 25 27 29 31
Card B 2 3 6 7 10 11 14 15 18 19 22 23 26 27 30 31
Card C 4 5 6 7 12 13 14 15 20 21 22 23 28 29 30 31
Card D 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31
Card E 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31

Get your friend to choose any number from the cards without telling you the number, but to tell you all the cards it appears on. You should be able to quickly say what number was chosen. How?

Superfast Addition
Get a friend to write down 2 numbers less than 20, one under the other without you seeing them. then your friend makes a third number by adding the first 2 together and write it below the first two. Then make a fourth number by adding the second and third, a fifth by adding the third and fourth, and so on, until there is a column of ten numbers. Now if you look at the numbers you can quickly give the total of the column. .

All you do is multiply the seventh number by 11, in the example below it is 142 x11.

Example 14+9+23+32+55+87+142+229+371+600 =1562

You can multiply by any number by 11 very quickly in your head - How? The secret is to multiply the number by 10 first and then add the number to the first result. For the example above - 10 x 142 = 1420 (the really easy bit - just add 0 to the end), then add 142 to 1420 which gives us the answer 1562 (even that bit's not too difficult either!). More hints on approximation are found here.

Maths Tricks

Multiply any two numbers from 11 to 20 in your head.

Take 15 x 13 for example..

Place the larger no. first in your mind and then do something like this Take the larger no on the top and the second digit of the smaller no. in the bottom.

15

3

The rest is quite simple. Add 15+3 = 18 . Then multiply 18 x 10 = 180 ...

Now multiply the second digit of both the no.s (ie; 5 x 3 = 15) Now add 180 + 15

Here is the answer 180 + 15 = 195 .

Think over it. This is a simple trick. It will help you a lot.

 

Multiply any number from 1 to 10 by 9

To multiply by 9,try this:
(1) Spread your two hands out and place them on a desk or table in front of you.
(2) To multiply by 3, fold down the 3rd finger from the left. To multiply by 4, it would be the 4th finger and so on.
(3) the answer is 27 ... READ it from the two fingers on the left of the folded down finger and the 7 fingers on the right of it.

This one was really cool wasn't it

 

Multiply any two digit number with 11.

This trick is much simpler than the previous one and it is more useful too. Let the number be 27 . Therefore 27 x 11

Divide the number as 2 _ 7

Add 2+ 7 = 9

Thus the answer is 2 9 7

Wasn't this one simple. But there is one complication. If you take a number like 57 Thus _57 x 11

Divide the number as 5 _ 7

Add 5 + 7 = 12

Now add 1 to 5 and place 2 in the middle so the answer is 5+1_2 _7 = _627

Thus the answer is 627

 

Multiply any number by 11 .

Trick number 2 tells you how to multiply a two digit number by 11 but what if you have a number like 12345678 . Well that is very easy if you our trick as given below . Read it carefully.

Let the number be 12345678 __ thus 12345678 x 11

Write down the number as 012345678 ( Add a 0 in the beginning)

Now starting from the units digit write down the numbers after adding the number to the right

So the answer will be 135802458

This one is simple if you think over it properly all you got to do is to add the number on the right . If you are getting a carry over then add that to the number on the left. So I will tell you how I got the answer . Read carefully.

The number was 12345678 ___ I put a 0 before the number ____ so the new number 012345678

Now I wrote ___ 012345678

Then for the answer

8 + 0 = 8

7 + 8 = 15 (1 gets carry carried over)

6+1+7 = 14 ( 1 gets carried over)

5 + 1 + 6 = 12 ( 1 gets carried over)

4 + 1 + 5 = 10 ( 1 gets carried over)

3 + 1 + 4 = 8

2 + 3 = 5

1 + 2 = 3

0 + 1 = 1

Thus the answer = 135802458

Square any two digit number

Suppose the number is 47 . Look for the nearest multiple of 10 . ie; in this case 50 . We will reach 50 if we add 3 to 47. So multiply (47+3) x (47-3) = 50 x 44 = 2200 This is the 1st interim answer.

We had added 3 to reach the nearest multiple of 10 that is 50 thus 3x 3 = 9 This is the second interim answer.

The final answer is 2200 + 9 = 2209 ... Practice This one on paper first.

 

Square a 2 Digit Number, for this example 37:

Look for the nearest 10 boundary
In this case up 3 from 37 to 40.
Since you went UP 3 to 40 go DOWN 3 from 37 to 34.
Now mentally multiply 34x40
The way I do it is 34x10=340;
Double it mentally to 680
Double it again mentally to 1360
This 1360 is the FIRST interim answer.
37 is "3" away from the 10 boundary 40.
Square this "3" distance from 10 boundary.
3x3=9 which is the SECOND interim answer.
Add the two interim answers to get the final answer.
Answer: 1360 + 9 = 1369

With practice this can easily be done in your head.

 

Squaring numbers in the hundreds.

If the number to be squared is 106:
Square the last two digits (no carry): 6 x 6 = 36: _ _ _ 3 6
Add the last two digits (06) to the number: 106 + 6 = 112: 1 1 2 _ _
So 106 x 106 = 11236.
See the pattern?

If the number to be squared is 112:
Square the last two digits (keep carry 1): 12 x 12 = 144: _ _ _ 4 4
Add the last two digits (12) plus the carry (1) to the number:
112 + 12 + 1 = 125: 1 2 5 _ _
So 112 x 112 = 12544.

 

Squaring a number in the three hundreds

Choose a number in the 300s (practice with numbers under 310, then progress to larger ones).
Square the first digit = : 9 _ _ _ _
The next two digits will be 6 times the last 2 digits: _ X X _ _
The last two places will be the square of the last digit: _ _ _ X X
Example:
If the number to be squared is 309:
The first digit is 9: 9 _ _ _ _
The next two digits are 6 times the last digit:
6 x 9 = 54: _ 5 4 _ _
Square the last digit: 9 x 9 = 81: _ _ _ 8 1
So 309 x 309 = 95481.

For larger numbers reverse the steps:

Square the last two digits (keep the carry): _ _ _ X X
6 times the last two digits + carry: _ X X _ _
Square the first digit + carry: X _ _ _ _

See the pattern?


If the number to be squared is 325:
Square last two digits (keep carry):
25x25 = 625 (keep 6): _ _ _ 2 5
6 times the last two digits + carry:
6x25 = 150; 150+6 = 156 (keep 1): _ 5 6 _ _
Square the first digit + carry:
3x3 = 9; 9+1 = 10: 1 0 _ _ _ _
So 325 x 325 = 105625.

 

Squaring numbers in the five hundreds

Choose a number in the 500s (start with low numbers at first; then graduate to larger ones).
The first two digits of the square are 25: 2 5 _ _ _ _
The next two digits will be 10 times the last 2 digits: _ _ X X _ _
The last two places will be the square of the last two digits: _ _ _ _ X X
Example:
If the number to be squared is 508:
The first two digits are 25: 2 5 _ _ _ _
The next two digits are 10 times the last 2 digits:
10 x 8 = 80: _ _ 8 0 _ _
Square the last digit: 8 x 8 = 64: _ _ _ 6 4
So 508 x 508 = 258,064.

For larger numbers reverse the steps:

Square the last two digits (keep the carry): _ _ _ _ X X
10 times the last two digits + carry: _ _ X X _ _
25 + carry: X X _ _ _ _

See the pattern?


If the number to be squared is 525:
Square the last two digits (keep the carry):
25 x 25 = 625 (keep 6): _ _ _ _ 2 5
10 times the last two digits + carry:
10 x 25 = 250; 250 + 6 = 256 (keep 2): _ _ 5 6 _ _
25 + carry: 25 + 2 - 27: 2 7 _ _ _ _
So 425 x 425 = 275,625.

 

Square a two digit number ending in five

This one is as easy as the previous ones but you have to pay a little more attention to this one . Read carefully :

Let the number be 35

35 x 35

Multiply the last digits of both the numbers ; thus ___ 5 x 5 = 25

now add 1 to 3 thus 3 + 1 = 4

multiply 4 x 3 = 12

thus answer 1225

You will have to think over this one carefully.As 5 has to come in the end so the last two digits o the answer will be 25 . Add 1 to the first digit and multiply it by the original first digit . Now this answer forms the digits before the 25. Thus we get an answer .

 

Squaring a number in the two hundreds.

Choose a number in the 200s (practice with numbers under 210, then progress to larger ones).
Square the first digit = 4: __4 _ _ _ _
The next two digits will be 4 times the last 2 digits: _ X X _ _
The last two places will be the square of the last digit: _ _ _ X X


Example:
If the number to be squared is 206:
The first digit is 4: 4 _ _ _ _
The next two digits are 4 times the last two digits :
4 x 6 = 24: _ 2 4 _ _
Square the last digit: 6 x 6 = 36: _ _ _ 3 6
So 206 x 206 = 42436.

For larger numbers work right to left:

Square the last two digits (keep the carry): _ _ _ X X
4 times the last two digits + carry: _ X X _ _
Square the first digit + carry: X _ _ _ _

See the pattern?

If the number to be squared is 225:
Square last two digits (keep carry):
25x25 = 625 (keep 6): _ _ _ 2 5
4 times the last two digits + carry:
4x25 = 100; 100+6 = 106 (keep 1): _ 0 6 _ _
Square the first digit + carry:
2x2 = 4; 4+1 = 5: 5 _ _ _ _
So 225 x 225 = 50625.

 

Squaring numbers in the four hundreds

Choose a number in the 400s (keep the numbers low at first; then progress to larger ones).
The first two digits of the square are 16: 1 6 _ _ _ _
The next two digits will be 8 times the last 2 digits: _ _ X X _ _
The last two places will be the square of the last two digits: _ _ _ _ X X
Example:
If the number to be squared is 407:
The first two digits are 16: 1 6 _ _ _ _
The next two digits are 8 times the last 2 digits:
8 x 7 = 56: _ _ 5 6 _ _
Square the last digit: 7 x 7 = 49: _ _ _ 4 9
So 407 x 407 = 165,649.

For larger numbers reverse the steps:

Square the last two digits (keep the carry): _ _ _ _ X X
8 times the last two digits + carry: _ _ X X _ _
16 + carry: X X _ _ _ _

See the pattern?


If the number to be squared is 425:
Square the last two digits (keep the carry):
25 x 25 = 625 (keep 6): _ _ _ _ 2 5
8 times the last two digits + carry:
8 x 25 = 200; 200 + 6 = 206 (keep 2): _ _ 0 6 _ _
16 + carry: 16 + 2 = 18: 1 8 _ _ _ _
So 425 x 425 = 180,625.

 

Finding 5 percent of any number

Trick 1 : Finding 5 percent of any number
Choose a large number (or sum of money).
Move the decimal point one place to the left.
Divide by 2 (take half of it).

Example:
If the amount of money selected is Rs. 850:
Move the decimal point one place to the left.: 85
Divide by 2: 85/2 = 42.50
So 5% of Rs.850 = Rs.42.50.
See the pattern?

If the amount of money selected is Rs. 4500:
Move the decimal point one place to the left.: 450
Divide by 2: 450/2 = 225
So 5% of Rs.4500 = Rs. 225

Brilliant, isn't it?

And look at this symmetry:


1 x 1 = 1
11 x 11 = 121
111 x 111 = 12321
1111 x 1111 = 1234321
11111 x 11111 = 123454321
111111 x 111111 = 12345654321
1111111 x 1111111 = 1234567654321
11111111 x 11111111 = 123456787654321
111111111 x 111111111 = 12345678987654321

Now, take a look at this...

101%

From a strictly mathematical viewpoint:

What Equals 100%?
What does it mean to give MORE than 100%?

Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%?

We have all been in situations where someone wants you to
GIVE OVER 100%.

How about ACHIEVING 101%?

What equals 100% in life?

Here's a little mathematical formula that might help
answer these questions:


If:
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

Is represented as:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.

If:

H-A-R-D-W-O- R- K
8+1+18+4+23+ 15+18+11 = 98%

And:
K-N-O-W-L-E- D-G-E
11+14+15+23+ 12+5+4+7+ 5 = 96%

But:
A-T-T-I-T-U- D-E
1+20+20+9+20+ 21+4+5 = 100%

THEN, look how far the love of God will take you:

L-O-V-E-O-F- G-O-D
12+15+22+5+15+ 6+7+15+4 = 101%

Therefore, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that:

While Hard Work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will
get you there, It's the Love of God that will put you over the top!

It's up to you if you share this with your friends & loved ones just
the way I did.

Have a nice day & God bless!!
