Fakerithmetic by Wallace Lee

PDF

Astonish your friends and even large audiences with rapid fire mental calculations that are refreshing, uncommon and different. Here's the amazing, fast-paced effect: First the audience gives you five different four digit numbers, these are written down just as called out. This is the first problem. Next, the audience calls out six different digits, which again you write down. These numbers are used for the second problem. Without delay you proceed to write nine five-digit numbers that total the six-digit number called out by the spectators. You then turn your attention to the first problem and write the total after just glancing at it for a moment. Your audience may now independently verify the accuracy of your calculations for both problems. FAKERITHMETIC was a long-time marketed effect and one Wallace the Magician used to confound his regular audiences, as well as other magicians, expert mathematicians, accountants, and engineers. Work it impromptu - anytime, anyplace with just a sheet of paper - or feature it on stage or platform with a large pad or blackboard. Once you know the secret it's easy to do! No complicated memory work, nothing to set-up or conceal, and you don't have to be a real math wizard to look like one! 8 pages, re-typeset with illustrations.
