Do any of you guys remember the 'trick' to this? |

http://www.milaadesign.com/wizardy.htmlIt had something to do with the mathematical probability of choosing multiples of 9 I think, but I can't find the thread. TIA.

Any two digit number, when the two digits are added and then that sum is subtracted from the original number, gives a result that is a multiple of nine, and whose digits when summed equal nine.
Examples (all randomly selected): 24 > 2+4=6 > 24-6=18 > 1+8=9
78 > 7+8=15 > 78-15=63 > 6+3=9
94 > 9+4=13 > 94-13=81 > 8+1=9
65 > 6+5=11 > 65-11=54 > 5+4=9

3. Spider Jerusalem has explained the math of the trick. |

Since the answer will always be nine, what remains is the presentation. Each time you play a different symbol is assigned to multiples of nine. The delay in showing the symbol is drama added. I think this version is very well done. :hi:
