The trick is a really simple way to make out you know the number they’ve entered, and it works like this.

Before doing it, you’ll need to set the calculator up.

First, think up a big number – preferably in the millions and note it down.

Key it into the calculator, then hit multiply 1, plus zero and multiply again.

This means no matter what you multiply it with next, the figure will stay the same as the one you picked at the beginning.

Now, tell your friend you have written a figure on the piece of paper.

Make sure it’s folded so they can’t see it.

Ask them to tap in any 3-digit number and times it by another 3 digit number.

And get them to multiple it again by another 3 digit figure one last time.

Then finally ask them to hit equals.

Now you can reveal what the number is on your piece of paper and it will be the same as the calculator.

The trick was revealed by YouTuber and street magician Evan Era, who has come up with many easy-to-do ideas worth trying over the years.
