The formula for getting the total in any regular magic square (numbers starting from 1 and going up) is n*(n^2+1)/2. In the case of a 4x4 MS, n=4. So the total of every row/column/diagonal would be 4*(4^2+1)/2 which is 34. Hence, the total has to be more than 34 for a 4 x 4 MS.
I still have to see if this stays true for other numbers, but I noticed a pattern. With 45, if you subtract 9 you get 36. Then, if you subtract 11 from 36, you get 25. 36-10=26; 36-9=27; 36-12=24. With 50, subtract 9 and get 41. 41-11=30; 41-10=31; 41-9=32; 41-12=29. Some computations may be a little more difficult, so, overall, it just depends on which is easier for you to remember, or easier to compute. Also--interesting to know, but not necessary for the trick--with 45, 4+5=9, and 3+6=9. With 50, 5+0=5, and 4+1=5. Those are "digit sums", and when 9 is added or subtracted from a 2 digit number, the digit sums remain the same (i.e. 26, 2+6=8, 26-9=17, 1+7=8; or, 85, 8+5=13,1+3=4, 85-9=76, 7+6=13, 1+3=4, also 13-9=4). It's the curious nature of 9, which I'm sure can be explained mathematically, but I'm limited in my knowledge on that point. Too, much playing with Numerology and too much time away from other maths.
I have found a way to use this for basically any number, although 9,999 is the highest I have gone, and a way to make your fill in numbers closer to the number the spectator says. The secret lies in the number 3. Let me explain. As you taught in this video if you subtract 20 from the number your fill in numbers are 1 thru 12. If you subtract 23 from the number your fill in numbers become 2 thru 13 In other words just add 1 to each fill in number. The rest of what you taught still applies. The spectator's number, +1, -1, +2 in the remaining squares. If you subtract 26 the fill in numbers become 3 thru 14. This pattern continues on up to as high as you want to go. For example if the spectator says 245 for their number you can subtract 200 from that which would make your fill in numbers 61 thru 72 & the other four numbers in order would be 45, 46, 44, & 47. Try it for youself.
That was a good bit simpler than I thought it would be. I memorize the 4 variables a little differently going: A1 = x - 20 B4 = A1 + 1 C2 = A1 - 1 D3 = B4 +1
Thanks. That enabled me to complete the magic square I needed, and I'll use it, but I'm still looking for a better looking magic square, The magic square that this method produced for me results in too many high numbers. They just look out of place with the more numerous smaller numbers. Better, would be a magic square where all of the numbers look like they belong together (This could probably be done by starting with higher numbers or by using bigger squares). However, that being said, I am very impressed at the great number of ways that this square produces the desired number. However, you have answered a question that has been on my mind: it is possible to construct magic squares for all numbers within a reasonable range.
There are ways to adjust it to make the numbers look more uniform. If you set the number selection between 52-99, you can add 10 to the given numbers for each of the first 12 squares, and then subtract 50 from their answer for the upper left square and then add 1, add 2, subtract 1 as before.
Yes! I tried it 62 and got it first time! By the way, just to note, it doesn't work with the middle-left and middle-right 2x2 squares, but it will with the middle-top and middle-bottom.
Hi, great tutorial! Very helpful. Is there any other combination possible as given numbers? I see other magicians like DMC and even Derren Brown do the same trick on national TV but with different number combinations. Just wondering. It would be good to have other options so I d not use the same ones every time. Thanks.
Been looking for how this is done, brilliant. One thing though you dont have to remember the bits about taking off 20, etc because you can work out the last 4 values by adding up the 3 values on a row or column each time.

From 3:08 onwards it is basic maths akin to that used in a sudoku. You don't need all the other nonsense about remembering 10, 11, 12 zigzag patterns or A B C D. It overcomplicates it.
a b c and d do not touch in any row or collumb. The rest is simply arbitrary, it's like sudoku, just a tad more complicated because of the addition. There are other combinations to do this, if I'm correct, I haven't looked at it. It wouldn't necessarily work with 22-99, but one or more specific numbers. It started with a *make everything add up* puzzle. someone figured it out and created a template for any number.
Works without repeats for all sums 34 and above. Sum=34 square is special using all numbers 1-16 and in this case sums work for all 2x2 squares as well :)
thanks to this video I learned how the "Magic Square" works and now I know what numbers must go where, what numbers must be added and such. I can now use this math trick to fool people into thinking I am a Mathematician. A question I have about this video is I wonder how anybody discovered this math trick in the 1st place and How do you figure out this trick as well?
If you count opposite outer edges without counting the corners, you get 45. So 11-5 and 2-27 gets 45. 1-12 and 26-6 is yet another 45. The center 2 by 2 (8-24-10-3) square is also 45.
it can be remembered so too , if you do it so D=A , A=B, C=D, and B=D then, if you wanna put the A you subtract 21 and if you wanna get B you add 1 to A, to get C add 1 to B etc. ;)
You can accommodate the numbers at your leisure and without repeating any of them, even if it is 22 or another number, in fact you choose the numbers. What happens is that this method is limited because it varies only a quartet of numbers, the method of mine, the above is unlimited since you can vary the 16 numbers and adjust them to your requested sum A 1 2 3 4 B 5 6 7 8 C 9 10 11 12 D 24 25 26 27 For example, varying the quartet that our friend exhibited, subject to our wishes, say to obtain 22 A 1 2 3 4 B 5 6 7 8 C 9 10 11 12 D 1 2 3 4 or A -22 -21 -20 -19 B 5 6 7 8 C 9 10 11 12 D 24 25 26 27 or A 1 2 3 4 B -18 -17 -16 -15 C 9 10 11 12 D 24 25 26 27 or A 1 2 3 4 B 5 6 7 8 C -13 -12 -13 -14 D 24 25 26 27 Of the four possibilities in one the numbers are repeated, and it is the first option, but in the others they all form magic squares with sum 22 Resolving the second option, and leaving the others as a challenge for you -22 8 11 25 26 10 5 -19 6 -20 27 9 12 24 -21 7 Eye, that is my method discovered in the year 2000 and that here on youtube they will not explain it to you
hector chumpitaz this doesn’t work for any number less than 34. This uses numbers 1 through 16. This method can be used for any 2 digit number greater than 33
The Lowest magic square is 34 by the standards of 16 different numbers of which all sides equal the same including the 4 corners and diagonals. In fact using the chart you showed we can reuse to figure....example.... 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12 21,22,23,24 Are the numbers to get 42. Now if we want say 34, we can subtract 7 from each of our 2x digit numbers. Making 34 the lowest possible not using integers having numbers 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12 13,14,15,16 Using this chart 34 Is the lowest but there is no limit on how high as long as his presentation graph is used. It is important because all of the numbers we are changing are all in their own row and column. You can't move or rearrange those 21,22,23,24 digit numbers since those are the ones we will be manipulating. But by his chart we have a magic square possible for every single number above 34.
you are so awesome, man, i can not describe. i really made my friend think im some sort of a math genius or something, making him this crazy magic square, he is amazed and i thank you so much... this is awesome!!!
You can also take the top 2 squares in the middle and add them to the bottom to squares in the middle and that adds up to the number. As well as the side boxes in the pair.
If you calculate D by substracting 21 from the magic number, you can just count D, A, B and C by adding one every time. Same result but to me that’s a more easy way.
the reason there's 28 possible combonations for this trick is because there's 1 letter in each of the quadrents. there's 1 letter in the 4 corners there's 1 letter in the 4 center corners. theres 1 letter in all of the 3*3 square four corners. there's 1 letter in everything you said. that's why it works.
As I wrote in "The Magic Square Performed by Ben Mack" : The square around {11, 8, 10, 5} sums to 34 - and yes, always 34 by this method, since these 4 nos are "fixed" by this method. Also the Square around {24, 2, 3, 27} sums to 56 in this eg, shown for 45. Of these, the nos 2 and 3 are "fixed" by this method. Both the Authors need to have pointed out the "omission" of these 2 Squares - they leave it out rather very conveniently ! ?? They demonstrate all the other combinations, but not these.
I can sum this video up in one line. Okey, here we go, write 4x4 squares, in a wavelike pattern write "11,5,4,1,8,10" starting from 1-2, at the others fill in "12,x,3,6,7,2,x,9" (x is empty) while the rest, going right, is your number -20.. -19.. - 21.. and finally -18. Hard? No. Or you could do as mentleboy recommends, it's probably the best way anyway. :o)
Using my positional positional method I can vary any quartet of numbers and not just the quartet A B C D A 1 2 3 4 B 5 6 7 8 C 9 10 11 12 D 24 25 26 27 Using my position algorithm I get 1 8 11 25 26 10 5 4 6 3 27 9 12 24 2 7
The more concrete and written way to do this: Step 1 : Get a number from whomever and in your head find 4 numbers that add up to that.(A+B+C+D= N) N is our original number Step 2: Place the numbers in this sequence Line 1......A, B, C, D Line 2.....D-1, C+1, B-3, A+3 Line 3.....B-1, A+1, D+1, C-1 Line 4.....C+2, D-2, A+2, B-2 Test for yourself!

@mandudeguy22 - 2x2 means a polygon that is 2 units high and 2 units wide All 2x2 squares add up to 45 or 50, depending on which grid you look at during the video.
Easy method. Wd know we need sums of 9 to start. Mneumonic. A 54 year old mother has an 18 year old son. When he turns 36, he becomes gigalo to rich 72 year old widows. With the fill in, you only need to know is minus 25 and all else falls into place.
Waoo!! That's fun!! But it seems that if you choose the number 24, then you will have to repeat the digits (3 and 6) twice in squares C & D. I figure out that to make it mistake proof you must pick up a number between 28 to 99. Anyway, thanks for sharing this trick!!
awsome i got it right away cuz a good teacher.. thanks... did you know the 45 represents fox....f= 6th letter row 3 in a square or a rubix cube face 9 position 3 x 3 rows reason for 9..all nines multiplies add up to there original digit...f=6 0=15=1+5=6 24=2+4=6 24th letter x FOX......JUST USE YOUR PHONE PAD.......123=6 456=15=1+5=6 7+8+9=24 2+4=6 FOX 1 ...1 -7=6 2-8=6 3-9=6 THIS IS THE PHONE PAD...
@Lauren Lander: Do you know what you're saying? A square with 10 numbers? Poor son... @Brian Harford: Ok! But its not bad! Either 22-99 is wrong! Because 22 minus 20 is 2, which is a number already in use. So it should be called: 33-99! @Mismag822: Small correction. It should be called: 33-99! But very helpful tutorials you are giving to us! Thanks a lot! @Conner Smeets: Interesting idea! But not correct with numbers between 21 and 32 included. See above! @Hidde Postma: You better listen to what he says... @Wendel Taborada Macalindong: Yes, of course! Sincerely! I think you ... you can do all this ... stuff! Really!

This doesn’t work at all times. For example if the number is 22 the number 3 is going to repeat itself.
You can accommodate the numbers at your leisure and without repeating any of them, even if it is 22 or another number, in fact you choose the numbers. What happens is that this method is limited because it varies only a quartet of numbers, the method of mine, the above is unlimited since you can vary the 16 numbers and adjust them to your requested sum
A 1 2 3 4
B 5 6 7 8
C 9 10 11 12
D 24 25 26 27
For example, varying the quartet that our friend exhibited, subject to our wishes, say to obtain 22
A 1 2 3 4
B 5 6 7 8
C 9 10 11 12
D 1 2 3 4
or
A -22 -21 -20 -19
B 5 6 7 8
C 9 10 11 12
D 24 25 26 27
or
A 1 2 3 4
B -18 -17 -16 -15
C 9 10 11 12
D 24 25 26 27
or
A 1 2 3 4
B 5 6 7 8
C -13 -12 -13 -14
D 24 25 26 27
Of the four possibilities in one the numbers are repeated, and it is the first option, but in the others they all form magic squares with sum 22
Resolving the second option, and leaving the others as a challenge for you
-22 8 11 25
26 10 5 -19
6 -20 27 9
12 24 -21 7

1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12
21,22,23,24
Are the numbers to get 42. Now if we want say 34, we can subtract 7 from each of our 2x digit numbers.
Making 34 the lowest possible not using integers having numbers
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12
13,14,15,16
Using this chart 34 Is the lowest but there is no limit on how high as long as his presentation graph is used.
It is important because all of the numbers we are changing are all in their own row and column. You can't move or rearrange those 21,22,23,24 digit numbers since those are the ones we will be manipulating.
But by his chart we have a magic square possible for every single number above 34.
it is also done in ericsurf6
you are so awesome, man, i can not describe. i really made my friend think im some sort of a math genius or something, making him this crazy magic square, he is amazed and i thank you so much... this is awesome!!!
how??? I am confused at counting this all
You can also take the top 2 squares in the middle and add them to the bottom to squares in the middle and that adds up to the number. As well as the side boxes in the pair.
WOuldnt it be abetter idea to have D as A then it increases by 1 each position?
But you would start subtracting 21 right?
If you calculate D by substracting 21 from the magic number, you can just count D, A, B and C by adding one every time. Same result but to me that’s a more easy way.
number should be between 22 to 99 but in tutorial you say watever number .
Faisal Shabir
He says between 22 and 99 twenty seconds into the video wtf are you talking about
no problem.. check with CSK
SURELY THE BEST TRICK I EVER SEE
um like th is looks confusing while he was making more copy papers and you see I think that he has a lot to show everybody about this lesson !!!
#(this is a noir a lesson the I have for homework today )
Watch something new tricks of 2 digits number th-cam.com/video/H0Mf3-Qp7jc/w-d-xo.html
At least he didnt open a math book. It is only full of problems. This was enjoyable to watch though.
great trick, but which sense make it for me? :)
the reason there's 28 possible combonations for this trick is because there's 1 letter in each of the quadrents. there's 1 letter in the 4 corners there's 1 letter in the 4 center corners. theres 1 letter in all of the 3*3 square four corners. there's 1 letter in everything you said. that's why it works.
what do letters have to do with anything. genuinely curious.
How does one fill in the square if the total needs to be 22-33? This method does not appear to work for 22-33 without using repeating numbers or zero.
it works very well, check again.
It seems to work for any number if you don't mind repeating a value, including negative numbers. Simply spreadsheet it, and have fun.
I would like to know the logic behind it
4+9=12+1
Sum of corners of bottom line is equal to the sum of middle two squares of top line
That was cool, but now I'm gonna be doing it all the time because I can't resist, thanks a lot lol :)
confusing
No problem.. Check with us. :)
thanks i learned this in 1 minute and its very easy for me. thanks so much!! this is awesome

The square around {11, 8, 10, 5} sums to 34 - and yes, always 34 by this method, since these 4 nos are "fixed" by this method.
Also the Square around {24, 2, 3, 27} sums to 56 in this eg, shown for 45. Of these, the nos 2 and 3 are "fixed" by this method.
Both the Authors need to have pointed out the "omission" of these 2 Squares - they leave it out rather very conveniently ! ??
They demonstrate all the other combinations, but not these.
11 8 5 and 10 are in a 2X2 and they are 34... fail?
He said and shows that It’s only the four groups of four, as in the four in the bottoms left, top left, top right, and bottom right. Not a fail.
It makes sense the first time. Mathematics is magic.
this does not help me much
Check similar one with us :)
Watch new 2 digits square tricks something surprise u th-cam.com/video/H0Mf3-Qp7jc/w-d-xo.html
Do u want to know how to a 3-digit number?
I just pulled the Magic Square on my mom. She is amazed. Thx for the lesson! (Might not surprise my school friends since, well, I'm a math whiz.)
Not that much good. I don't think so!!!!!!!!
Brillant Idea
Thank you sir of this brillant idea ☺☺🙂🙂🙂
lets talk visuals
holy crap this is taking me forever to figure out but once i do it will be worth it this is an amazing trick
this gave me an idea for an impossible math trick and only 50% of people will figure it out >=3
I can sum this video up in one line. Okey, here we go, write 4x4 squares, in a wavelike pattern write "11,5,4,1,8,10" starting from 1-2, at the others fill in "12,x,3,6,7,2,x,9" (x is empty) while the rest, going right, is your number -20.. -19.. - 21.. and finally -18. Hard? No. Or you could do as mentleboy recommends, it's probably the best way anyway. :o)
only needed it once, great quality thank you so much for taking the time and effort out of your day to help us
Using my positional positional method I can vary any quartet of numbers and not just the quartet A B C D
A 1 2 3 4
B 5 6 7 8
C 9 10 11 12
D 24 25 26 27
Using my position algorithm I get
1 8 11 25
26 10 5 4
6 3 27 9
12 24 2 7
Great Mr Mismag Thanks 👍 .greeting from Denmark
The more concrete and written way to do this:
Step 1 : Get a number from whomever and in your head find 4 numbers that add up to that.(A+B+C+D= N) N is our original number
Step 2: Place the numbers in this sequence
Line 1......A, B, C, D
Line 2.....D-1, C+1, B-3, A+3
Line 3.....B-1, A+1, D+1, C-1
Line 4.....C+2, D-2, A+2, B-2
Test for yourself!
Wow... that's pretty cool (I just read a book and it they showed magic number square but it would also still work if you flipped it 180 degrees).
Thank you so much for this great tutorial. I really wish you all the best .You are a genereous and courageous man .i don't know many people like you who are willing to spread knowledge even if it means unfoldding their own secrets;
thank you ; Rachid
Thank you for this very valuable gift!!!!
Haha, I'm a primary school teacher and was planning to use magic squares as part of a lesson this week!
THIS is best suited for numbers under 25, a foundation square works a lot cleaner---but requires a little bit more maths
this is actually pretty cool!! keep it up!
thanks man this helped alot because i had homework,i subbed
Awesome!!!
You sure deserve my thumbs up!!!!
Have a great day!!!

lol, everyone seems to be flabbergasted by the fact that your a lefty XD
very nice trick, thank you! i will defenitely learn this one.
OMG You're a lefty!!!
Only reason why you should not use numbers below 20 is that negative numbers in only 4 squares makes the trick obvious. But it does work!
very thorough explanation. thumbs up!
it works for lower sums too if you allow negative numbers
@MattMacLean1991 Still works, but you have to use negative numbers in A,B,C,D
boxes.
U uploaded this video when l was 1 year old 🥺
Now lam 12
@mandudeguy22 - 2x2 means a polygon that is 2 units high and 2 units wide
All 2x2 squares add up to 45 or 50, depending on which grid you look at during the video.
i did this to my teacher and he was jaw dropped and i do have an a in math but i dont get some stuff with squares like this but got it on first time
Simple, amazing... simply amazing.
thats really neat i got it the first time now lets see if i can remember how to do it :)
Keep up the good work
Easy method. Wd know we need sums of 9 to start. Mneumonic. A 54 year old mother has an 18 year old son. When he turns 36, he becomes gigalo to rich 72 year old widows. With the fill in, you only need to know is minus 25 and all else falls into place.
Clever and entertaining stuff. Thank you
Waoo!! That's fun!!
But it seems that if you choose the number 24, then you will have to repeat the digits (3 and 6) twice in squares C & D.
I figure out that to make it mistake proof you must pick up a number between 28 to 99.
Anyway, thanks for sharing this trick!!
Did you guys notice this is like his first video tutorial in first person view? Thumbs Up so other people knows.
makes perfect sense, first time watching it. Really isnt that confusing.
Damn, I'm subbing, u explained this so awesome I got it right at first try's.
Very complicated, yet very effective.
awsome i got it right away cuz a good teacher.. thanks... did you know the 45 represents fox....f= 6th letter row 3 in a square or a rubix cube face 9 position 3 x 3 rows reason for 9..all nines multiplies add up to there original digit...f=6 0=15=1+5=6 24=2+4=6 24th letter x FOX......JUST USE YOUR PHONE PAD.......123=6 456=15=1+5=6 7+8+9=24 2+4=6 FOX 1 ...1 -7=6 2-8=6 3-9=6 THIS IS THE PHONE PAD...
@Lauren Lander: Do you know what you're saying? A square with 10 numbers? Poor son...
@Brian Harford: Ok! But its not bad! Either 22-99 is wrong! Because 22 minus 20 is 2, which is a number already in use. So it should be called: 33-99!
@Mismag822: Small correction. It should be called: 33-99! But very helpful tutorials you are giving to us! Thanks a lot!
@Conner Smeets: Interesting idea! But not correct with numbers between 21 and 32 included. See above!
@Hidde Postma: You better listen to what he says...
@Wendel Taborada Macalindong: Yes, of course! Sincerely! I think you ... you can do all this ... stuff! Really!
PERFECTLY MAKES SENSE!
I think there are not only 28 combinations but 32
9 2x2 box combinations
6 4x2 rectangles add corners
