4 Figure Trick.


Get some one to put down row Of
figures, to add them up and subtract
the total-thus;
63.214
These figures added together make
10. Subtract this 10 from the original
number and you get GO. 19S.
Now ask them to cross out any one
figure, total them up again and tell
you the total Thus. say, they cross
out the G. the total becomes FL They
tell you this. and without looking at
the sum you can give the value Of the
figure which has been crossed out.
You do this trick by subtracting the
total from the next multiple Of 8. "The
total" says your friend, ''is FL" The
nearest multiple of above q Is 81.
You subtract q from p. and that
leaves 8. To your friend you say in a
dignified tone. THE figure you crossed
out was O." And your wondering
friend believes you to be possessed Of
occult powers.
