These interactive number tricks are not only fun to perform, they are also useful for kids from kindergarten all the way through college and beyond! Even professionals and adults can reap the benefits of simple enjoyment as well keeping the mind sharp!


Phone Number Trick

Ask a friend to think any phone number and you will tell them that phone number. If you perform it right, your friend should be amazed at how you did it! Here's how you do the trick:

  • Grab a calculator
  • Key in the first three digits of your phone number (NOT the area code)
  • Multiply by 80
  • Add 1
  • Multiply by 250
  • Add the last 4 digits of your phone number
  • Add the last 4 digits of your phone number again. You can do these last two steps without letting your friend know what you are doing. Just say "I have to do some magic math calculating to get the phone number."
  • Subtract 250
  • Divide number by 2.

And Presto...there it is!
