Clutch Powers i don’t know if you’re aware, but you can edit your comment if you make a spelling mistake (or any other mistake of course)! i’m on mobile, but i presume it would be somewhat similar if you’re on desktop. on the right-hand side in the bottom right corner of your comment there are three vertical dots - press them. when you’ve done that two options should be avaliable to you, edit and delete. just click edit and edit your comment however you want to, and then just click on the ’post’ button again and the changes you’ve made are automatically applied to your comment! also, if you see a comment someone else has made and you think that it breaks youtube’s guidelines (eg. bullying, hate speech), you just click the same three vertical dots on their comment and you can report it! i’m sorry if i’m overstepping, i just thought i’d help you out a bit if you were unaware of these things. if you already knew the things i explained, just ignore my comment! have a great day either way!

[@aidangillard2041]

@@mattydchacer I still have no idea how you did it hahaha

[@DrZaius3141]

@@aidangillard2041 My guess would be that the calculator is a fake app that spews out fixed numbers. It's a safe assumption that a) the person on stage would be too distracted to do the maths in their head and b) you can get the phone long enough before the actual trick starts. It appeared to be her own phone which makes the tampering harder, but when you think about how the only thing he actually needs for the trick to work is her reliably saying '580' at the end, this seems the way to go.

[@gurusson]

I was at a work Christmas party where a magician performed this trick (not as shown here, obviously, but the same basic mechanics).

word of wisdom: magic works best when performed and realized two ways, through mystery and comedy. this performer was just incredibly funny and entertaining, so much so that magic was intensified and although the audience is aware that magic is at the core of the show, the performance was very lovely to watch, leaving you with the feeling of wanting to see more, perhaps a full show in the future is possible.
