Cool Psychic Number Trick

[kobimel]

This was on an Israeli TV show where one of the best phsycics (you know, reading minds, telekensis, etc.) ever, Uri Geller, tests some of Israel's best up and coming phsycics. Anyway, this guy read a woman's mind: he told her to think of a number. Then, he drew this on a board:

61 1 12 7
11 8 60 2
5 10 3 63
4 62 6 9

He drew up the whole thing in around 6, 7 seconds, it seemed like he was just writing random numbers.

He told the woman to tell him the number she thought of, and she said 81. She said her number wasn't anywhere on the board. But, he then showed an amazing thing: if you add up all the numbers in every column (like in the 1st to the right, 7+2+63+9), it adds up to 81.

If you add up all the numbers in each row (like in the 2nd row from the top 11+8+60+2), it adds up to 81.

If you add up the numbers in each diagnol (like from top left to bottom right 61+8+3+9) you get 81.

Finally, if you add up the four numbers in the corners (61+9+7+4), you get 81.

He easily advanced.

So what would happen if the number was different?

He would have made a whole different chart, I guess. It all boiled up to the fact that he read the woman's mind, along with the amazing chart itself.

I've got the site for the original, but it's in hebrew, as is the clip. I'll post it anyway, though...

Plus, I forgot another part:

All the numbers in the four squares in each corner add up to 81 (top left square: 61+1+11+8=81 bottom right square: 3+6+9+63=81)

To get to the video, click on the 2nd link from the top on the left of screen (the one that says תכנית 1, תכנית 2, תכנית, 3....pick תכנית 3.

Then you'll get a list of pictures with links under them next to the part with the link you just clicked on. Click on the 7th picture from the top.
