it's multiples of nine. you can take any two digit number, add the two digits together, and subtract it from the original number, and wind up with a multiple of nine.

It works, because no matter how you do it, it will always end up on what symbol they want it end on.


Try this Math Trick yourself.

Take a deck of cards.
Put them in all in order. (Ace, 2, 3, 4... Jack, Queen, King) by suit.
You should now have a deck of 52 cards with each of the 4 suits divided and all the cards in numerical order.
Now cut the cards (take a section of cards from the top and put them on the bottom of the stack). Do this 13 times.
13 legal cuts of the deck.
You still have a deck of 52 cards, but the cards are all scrambled up from cutting the deck 13 times.
Now lay out 13 cards face down. Lay the 14th card on top of the first card you laid down (15th on top of the 2nd, etc etc) and continue that round-robin until you have laid down all the cards.
You now have 13 stacks of 4 cards each.

Start flipping over the stacks to reveal what 4 cards are together in each stack.
If you did it properly, you should get a surprise.

I have done this trick hundreds if not thousands of times over the years. it is always good for an ice-breaker and crowd pleaser.

Enjoy.

.... 36, 3+6=9, 36-9=27, 27 is a multiple of nine.

Pick any random two-digit number and subtract the sum of the two numbers from the original number.

99-(9+9)=81
88-(8+8)=72
77-(7+7)=63
...
...
...
33-(3+3)=27
22-(2+2)=18
11-(1+1)=9

All multiples of nine. On the symbols page, compare all the symbols that are multiples of nine. They are all the same. The game changes the symbol every time so it's hard for people to catch on to what's really going on.

To break it down even further...

Choosing a number between:
10-19 will result in a final answer of 9.
20-29 is 18
30-39 is 27
...
...
...
70-79 is 63
80-89 is 72
90-99 is 81

the cards aren't scrambled by cutting the deck. they are all in order, cutting them just cycles them around and around. there's a more interesting version where you end up dealing out like 7 full houses.
