FAST MATH by Lars La Ville / La Ville Magic (Instant Download)
Experience the innovative Fast Math, a unique magic square and photographic memory demonstration by La Ville Magic.
What Experts Say:
Dan Harlan: “Very interesting demonstrations. Fascinating work.”
Tomas Blomberg: “I loved that you introduced a brand new plot with the memorization of the square that doesn’t have the Magic Square property.”
Effects Included:
- FAST MATH – (Face Up): A classic effect with a twist. The spectator selects a number between 34 and 99, and you quickly lay down 16 cards in a 4×4 grid. Each row, as well as the center and corners, sums to the chosen number. This version requires minimal memorization, while an alternative version eliminates memory work entirely.
- FAST MATH – (Face Down): Similar to the face-up version, but with cards placed face down. You reveal each row one by one, demonstrating that they add up to the spectator’s number. Developed with insights from Dan Harlan.
- PHOTOGRAPHIC MEMORY DEMONSTRATION SQUARE: This effect involves more memory work. The spectator shuffles cards into two piles and chooses one. You then memorize the positions and values of the cards while blindfolded, revealing the sums of each row. This version is designed for those comfortable with memory challenges.
- BLINDFOLDED SQUARE: The spectator names a number from 34 to 99 as you blindfold yourself. You guide them to write numbers on a grid marked A-D and 1-4. After all numbers are placed, you reveal that each row sums to their chosen number. This effect is more challenging.
- MAGIC SQUARE: A classic magic square inspired by Harry Lorayne, utilizing a unique counting system for quick calculations. The spectator can choose any number between 33 and 201. This version requires some memory work, though a no-memory variant is available.
- IMPROMPTU MAGIC SQUARE: Using just a sharpie and post-it notes, the spectator selects a number between 33 and 201. You instruct them on which numbers to write, and when stacked, all rows will add up to the chosen number.
