Anyone got the inside line on this? Any thoughts? Are people asked to call out a number from 1-100 or 1-9?
I no longer smoke camel cigarettes.

A slip of paper is picked out from a clear tray (it can be any tray/bowl/hands even) by your host/punter...
numbers are shouted out by audience members square is filled in... when totalled in the usual way they add up to the number picked right at the beginning... I thought the method was excellent...i'm usually one for magic squares, but I shall be using the method for sure... not performed it, so can't comment further...bought it for research... oh and the slips aren't forced in any way, no stooges, DR, P**-s*** or anything like that...
I've asked to be banned

There are several methods covered on this DVD, but if you specifically use Luis' method as Iain described above, there are no calculations, so yeah, the math is simpler.

The math is simpler, but you create double digits within the square and this is weak! You also have the restriction to work with the slips of paper.
For me this dvd was a big disappointment. Higly NOT recommended! |

I have to agree. This is really a presentation for a very standard magic square technique. It adds nothing to methodology (in fact, it ignores contemporary methodology, and wastes time explaining how to deal with problems that don't even occur in better-architected squares).
Buy it for the presentation if you wish (he displays excellent stage presence, and is truly a joy to watch), but not for the methodology.

Have to agree with ddyment and mikefallen: I bought this DVD and I expected much more from the prom stuff; apart from the great stage presentation, I'm not sure there's much 'beef' here. Got a good deal for anyone looking for a second hand copy

Many good squares have fourth grade math. Not a problem.
