In this lesson, entitled "Mathematical Mysteries," there are principles at play here that can be applied in many situations that don't involve numbers at all.

Dan is going to show you how to go way beyond what you might think of as a math trick by incorporating presentations that capture people's imaginations.

You’ll learn to control a large number of variables to cause a strange and highly improbable coincidence to occur.

Dan will show you how to appear to control fire, and use it to burn a lasting impression of a "group mind" computation.

Then, he'll tell you which common drugstore item you can use to produce a physical manifestation of a psychic connection.

Finally, you'll see how magicians have been way ahead of the electronic banking craze by instantly transferring money through empty space.

Don’t let the title fool you... these mathematical mysteries contain a high percentage of mystery and negligible math.

Dan has simply added the proper amount of presentation to produce one-hundred percent amazement. Let's begin...

Tricks taught:
- Mystery the Traveling Numbers
- The Spirit Mathematician
- The Numbers on Arm
- Rapid Banking

The first tutorial. I wish he would have given me an actual website address that he talked about.
Second tutorial. Wasn't thrilled since the numbers always add up to the total. Easy to figure out.
Third tutorial: It's excellent but that routine has been around for years and I knew it.
Fourth Tutorial: I really enjoyed it, the best. Very strong effect.

Not math at the best! Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on October 31st, 2014
Frankly speaking, not the best lesson in the recent Tarbell instalments. Most of the effects explained relates to mathemacal magic only for the number which are cited in the course of them. That's not mathematical magic in the strict sense of the word. There's still something good but...it could be better. Don't give up guys, anyway!

Was never good at math in school, but Dan does a good job as usual explaining things. I steer clear of long drawn out tricks with cards and the like as i prefer quick, " Hey, check this out." illusions,but if you are performing a show to a captive audience, and want to incorporate mentalism or math, then Tarbell is a good place to start and Dan presents it well.

one thing missing Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on October 30th, 2014
Great and clear explanations, nice they are done with an audience; makes one appreciate Dan's abilites as performer as well as teacher.

All that's missing is a web site to get the dollar bill #'s or perhaps I missed something.

I am a total novice and this was superbly done with many extra suggestions. Never have done a review before, but this called for one. Thanks and keep up the excellent work on a great project.

Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on July 2nd, 2019
Someone above was dismissive of the maths involved in these tricks. I see it differently - the fact that the maths involved is actually not overly challenging makes the routines themselves really clever - developing these tricks required insight and ingenuity. I've yet to "perform" these tricks but I'm confident I will be able to do so.
Money well spent.

I'd really appreciate any more maths based tricks - as a teacher I like to liven up my classes / challenge the kids to work out how tricks work. I'm always on the hunt for more material.

Take a classic set of magic books that have more than stood the test of time but would be even better if updated in some areas to better align with today's society. Add the knowledge and enthusiasm of Dan Harlan and you have a recipe for success! In Tarbell 9, the first effect that Dan performed has made the entire series worth the investment and it has only started.

Great updates to the material Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on June 22nd, 2022
Like the lesson title says, this lesson is using math but Dan was able to update the material to not make the effects feel to "math class". In fact, there is a ashes on an effect using initials and a transposition between a check and a dollar bill that don't use math at all in this lesson. Good lesson

The mathematical mysteries are excellent. I was able to incorporate 2 of the 4 routines in my show. The presentations are excellent.
