Find
a book, a pen, a piece of
paper and a calculator.
Hand them to your
friend.
Ask a friend to choose any page in
the book.
Ask your friend to
write down the page number on a piece of paper.
Example
: In the
video, we chose page 141
Now ask your
friend to choose one of the
first nine lines on that page.
Ask your friend to
write down the line number that has been chosen.
Example : In the video, we chose line 7
Ask you friend to choose one of the
first nine words on that line.
Ask your friend to
write down the number of the word chosen.
Example : In the video,
we chose word 3
Close the book
Hand your friend a
calculator and ask your friend to follow these seven steps:
Multiply the page number
by 2
Example
from the
video : 141 x 2 = 282
Multiply the
answer by 5
282 x 5
= 1410
Add 20
1410 + 20 = 1430
Add the line number
1430 + 7 = 1437
Add 5
1437 + 5 = 1442
Multiply the
answer by 10
1442 x 10 = 14420
Add the word number
14420 + 3 = 14423
Now ask your
friendto tell you the answer.
You must now subtract 250 from
that number.
14423 -
250 = 14173
The last number (3) will tell you
the number of the
word that your friend picked.
The second to last
number (7)
will indicate the line
number
The remaining
numbers (141) will indicate the page
number.
Take the book,
turn to that page, find line and word on that line.
Magic!
