Creepy, really weird to find out how he did it
Hmm, it actually only worked the first time, the other two times it got it wrong. I was thinking of 3 and he got it wrong two times.
Oo, it's deffo very creepy, do the magic card one, even worse!

thats so stupid! haha.. think of a number.. (add lots of + -) then subtract the number you were thinkin off.. and you get the sum of the + - formula.. lol

its just basic math....
ill explain

ill do the first one first...
take a number between .. ok.. 10
then plus 14
plus 32
= 56..
subract the number you were thinking.. 10
= 46
subtract 22
= 24.. no matter what number you think of it turns out exactly the same.. because you remove it later in the steps... so you could think of 100000000585775757884847474 for all that matters.. the other one i will explain in a min. just have to go through it

Actually therer must be some sort of formula involved. I did the 'your thoughts' one and i couldn't think of an animal starting from e, so instead he printed elephants, even if i had never thought about it. It covers people without imagination too!
Bah, such spoiling the magic!

one tip about the last one
no matter what number you choose between 1 and 10.. the sum of the 2 numbers when you multiply by 9 = 9.. ill show again:
1x9 = 9 = 9
2x9 = 18 = 9
3x9 = 27 = 9
4x9 = 36 = 9
5x9 = 45 = 9
so thats why it always ends up as 9... also there arent many other countrys that start on D then denmark

and there isnt many other animals that start on E that you think of if you get "think of an animal that starts on E"

Ok, explain us the magic card now! There was no clicking or maths involved there!
The other two are pretty easy to imagine how they are done.
