Which of us in childhood did not dream of becoming a magician. Already matured, we, of course, understand that there is no magic at all in skillful performances, but we still continue to look fascinated at the sleight of hand of professionals and the ability to impress the audience with their magical performances.
Having fun together
Spending time in the company, in addition to outdoor activities, you can gladly compete in intellectual skills. To help in this matter, of course, you will come across various puzzles, puzzles and tricks with numbers or mathematical. In addition, you can check your mindset, perhaps you are hiding extraordinary opportunities, which Einstein himself would envy. We present you several options for ideas on how to diversify your leisure time in a fun company, where, of course, you can shine with your mind and charm.
Entertaining math
It is proved that, solving a mathematical focus, you perfectly develop logical thinking and train your memory perfectly.
No wonder this science is considered the queen of all sciences. Do not think that solving such puzzles is quite difficult, they just require a significant concentration of attention and a little patience.
Counting the numbers
Before showing tricks with numbers in the company, try to make sure that you have a calculator on hand or that your interlocutor has good knowledge of the multiplication table, and also practice yourself beforehand so as not to get into trouble.
One of the simple and fun is the ability to quickly add multiple numbers, it is especially interesting when the numbers are multi-valued, and there are many of them. Let a friend write numbers with the same number of digits. The more these numbers are, the more effective the mathematical focus will seem. Then you add to his numbers the same number of yours and offer him to put everything together. You can give an answer instantly.
The bottom line is that you must add the numbers according to the method - the numbers must complement the numbers of your interlocutor to the number 9. Example: you must add your 125 to the number 874. The amount is calculated by the formula X Γ (10 ΚΈ -1), where x - the number of numbers, y is the number of digits in the number. If the number is 9, then 0 is assigned to it.
Example:
The numbers 874, 587 and 254 were written to you, you add your 125, 412 and 745. While your subject will add up all these numbers for a long time, you will quickly count 3 Γ (10 Β³ -1) = 3 Γ 1000-3 Γ 1 = 2997.
Tangled cards
If your company has a deck at hand, then mathematical tricks with cards can quite well interest holidaymakers. There are a large number of examples; consider the simplest and most popular one.
21 cards are counted from the deck. They are laid out in 7 rows of 3 cards face up. The participant must mentally choose and remember the map he liked, telling you the column where it is located. Next, stack the cards from the columns in piles, and then these piles into one. Always place the pile where the hidden map turned out to be in the middle. Turn the cards face down and lay them out again in the same way. Let the viewer look and say in which column his card. Fold everything again, the column in which the hidden map is again placed between the other two, and re-lay it out. Let the viewer point to the stack of cards again, fold them again. If you count the cards, then the hidden card will be 11 in a row.
Tricks for children
When organizing a holiday for children, it is worth considering not only the banquet menu, but also the entertaining part of the program. Coming up with all possible fun, contests and active games, take care of the intellectual part. Mathematical tricks for children will not only help to focus their attention, but will also give the holiday a cheerful humorous mood. In addition, this will allow children to take a break between games.
Simple enough, but at the same time, an interesting focus will be when all participants are involved. Invite one of the viewers to write a 3-digit number on the sheet, let the second participant add the same number to this number, itβs already a 6-digit number. Next, let him divide it by 7, another participant will divide the resulting number already by 11, after the participant will multiply the number by 2, the other will divide the result by 13. At the end, the sum on the sheet is announced to the presenter, and he says the number that was originally conceived. This math trick is very simple. The secret is that when the number of 3 digits was written a second time, it turned out that it was automatically multiplied by 1001, in the future we divided it by 7, 11 and 13, thereby just dividing it by 1001. As a result, we got the number from 3 characters, multiplied by 2, and in the end you just need to divide the number by 2.
Play at home
If the weather is bad and slush, and the guests are on the doorstep, itβs not difficult to come up with entertainment for them. Home tricks, the execution technique of which is easy and simple, will come in more than ever, by the way. Basically, of course, such entertainments will please more children than adults, but any joke can bring some kind of ease and a positive attitude into the atmosphere.
A trick with a coin is very simple. Take a few lemons, put them on a plate and invite the audience to choose any of them. Lemons can be touched to make sure that they are safe and sound. Next, you cut a lemon, and inside it is a coin. The trick is that in advance to the knife you need to glue a small coin on plasticine, holding it in your hand, cover it with your finger. As soon as you start cutting fruit, gently push the coin towards the cut. When pulling out a knife, pinch it with two halves of a lemon so that the coin gets inside and slightly sticks. Thatβs the whole secret.
Remember that before you begin to perform, you yourself must master a few techniques, whether it be a mathematical trick or a whole magical performance. Try to do everything confidently, clearly and harmoniously so as not to lead the viewer into doubt about your professionalism. Be sure that the company will not only be happy to appreciate your performance, but also pass the time with such fascinating activities.
