What is the correct name of the trick featured in this video - is it correctly labelled Lightning Calculation?



I know it's from Lorayne's Mathematical Wizardry, but for anyone who has the book, which of the following two effects is it:

a) Lightning Calculation? (page 6)

b) Pleasing Combination? (page 45)

Thank you so much Harry.

Talk about getting reliable information directly from the source! It can't get better than hearing straight from the legend himself!

I guess it must just have been mislabelled as "Lightning Calculation" in the IMS Gold (Vol 16) video.

What a great effect this is! I just love the fact that you totally beat out a guy using a calculator with this. Many people wouldn't think that's possible until they see it happen, as is the case in this video.

Thanks for sharing it.
