The Magical Blocks.
Children from the audience mix up four numbered blocks. Teachers and children are given calculators to add the numbers up. The performer using his mind adds the numbers up in less then 5 seconds. |
The Power of 9.
Three children each pick a number, they are doubled and the new number is used to select a page and line in a book. The performer then amazes everyone, without looking at the book he tells everyone what is on the chosen line. |

Good Evening Eugene (& Sheila)
I have spoken to Michelle, who was the teacher involved and together we feel that the children were engaged throughout the whole show and the importance of Maths messages were made very clear.
We would definitely recommend it to other schools.
Enjoy the summer break.
