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.
You can use the website: www.wolframalpha.com for this. Simply type in "factorize *number*" where you put in the number on the bill, and it gives you the factorization.
"That routine has been around for years..." Of course. This whole series is an "Every Trick in the Book" examination from Tarbell's Course in Magic published in 1928. Everything in here has been around for years but much of it goes unused in a more modern era.
"Much of it goes unused?" Most "new" tricks today in the "modern era" are from Tarbell, or inspired by Tarbell. I have used and made my living from the material in Tarbell for almost 40 years now, and so have many others and continue to do so today. Some may change the patter and presentation but they still use it nonetheless.
