“Einstein’s Demise”

 

Mathematical texts are filled with many ways to do this impressive demonstration of rapid math.
The method below is often used by people whose dream or goal is to develop their mental abilities.
This method requires memorization and the ability to do 19 simple mathematical calculations in your
mind. It is learnable, but requires practice. But...it is fun and amazing to present once you learn it.

 

Step One             Memorize the numbers that make up the square below.  It adds up to 34. 

                                                     This is your memorized square.

 

                                                            13        2         11        8                    

                                                            12        7         14        1                          This is

                                                             6         9         4         15                    the hardest part

                                                             3         16        5         10                   

 

Step Two             Ask for a number between 34 and 90. In this example 57 is the selected number

 

Step Three          In your mind, subtract 34 from the selected number  ( 57 - 34 = 23 ).

 

Step Four            In your mind, divide this number ( 23 ) by 4.  

In 5 with a remainder of 3.  5 will become your Alpha number in this example.

 

Add the remainder 3 to your Alpha number (5) to calculate your Beta Number.

 

                              8 will be your Beta number in the example.

 

Step Five             To create a square for the selected number 57, you must

 

Add the Alpha number (5) to each number from 1 to 12 in your memorized square. 

Below is an example of the square for 57 after 5 is added to 1 to 12.

Add the Beta number (8) to the numbers 13, 14, 15 and 16 in your memorized square.

Below is a completed square for 57 after 8 is added to 13, 14, 15, & 16.

Step Six               Practice…Practice…Practice.   To do this demonstration in a fun, amazing way, you

must practice the math until little effort is required.  Never do this demonstration more than twice in a row. 

It will expose your method, and make your abilities less amazing.
