Transcript: Magic 9's
(Music plays)
An animated clip shows a big orange X on a blue background. It explodes and letters and numbers come out of it in all directions and float around.
Mathemagician Eric appears on screen. He’s in his mid-twenties. He has short dark brown hair and a beard. He wears a red T-shirt with the show’s logo, blue jeans and red Tennis shoes. He plays with Poker cards.
The screen turns red and the logo of the show appears next. It reads "MathXplosion." Meanwhile, cones, cubes and dices float around it.
Kids voices sing a song with lyrics that go
WHAT A HIT
IT'S NOT A TRICK
IT'S MATHXPLOSION
JUST FOR YOU
COOL AND NEW
MATHXPLOSION!
The episode starts with Eric standing in a workroom, next to a large table. He holds cards in his hands. Behind him, a large blackboard has drawings of the number 9.
Eric says DID YOU KNOW THAT OF ALL
THE NUMBERS OUT THERE,
MY FAVOURITE ONE IS -
UHHH... 9.
He first shows a blank card. He turns it around and it becomes a 9 Poker card.
Next, he says BECAUSE IT'S POSSIBLY THE
MOST MAGICAL NUMBER OF ALL.
THERE'S AN AMAZING TRICK
I WANT TO TEACH YOU
WHERE NO MATTER
WHAT YOU DO,
9 WILL ALWAYS BE
YOUR ANSWER.
(music plays)
Moving shapes float in the screen on a blue background. Next, Eric clears the blackboard.
He says TO DO THIS TRICK, YOU'RE
GOING TO NEED A BUDDY.
(music plays)
He snaps his fingers and a purple smoke cloud brings to the workroom a new version of himself. This one has a blue T-shirt, instead.
Eric in blue waves.
Eric says HEY, HOW ARE YA?
OKAY, I WANT YOU TO THINK
OF YOUR FAVOURITE NUMBER
BETWEEN 1 AND 9.
APPRENTICES, THINK OF YOUR
FAVOURITE NUMBER AS WELL.
(music plays)
It looks like Eric in blue is ready.
Eric says OKAY.
WRITE IT DOWN WHILE I
PUT ON THIS BLINDFOLD
SO I CAN'T SEE
WHAT YOU'RE DOING.
(music plays)
Eric puts on a blindfold while Eric in blue writes down number 2.
Next, Eric says NOW MULTIPLY YOUR
SECRET NUMBER BY 3.
(music plays)
The number blinks. Eric in blue writes "2 times 3 equals 6."
Eric says GOT IT?
GREAT!
NOW, ADD 3 TO
YOUR NEW TOTAL.
Eric in blue writes "6 plus 3 equals 9."
Eric says NOW, TAKE THAT NUMBER AND
MULTIPLY BY 3 ONCE AGAIN.
Eric in blue writes "9 times 3 equals 27."
Eric continues
THIS SHOULD GIVE YOU
A TWO-DIGIT NUMBER.
Eric in blue seems shocked. He looks like he can’t believe it.
Eric says GOT IT?
PERFECT.
NOW, FOR THE MOST
IMPORTANT PART.
I'D LIKE YOU TO ADD THOSE
TWO DIGITS TOGETHER.
AND REMEMBER,
I CAN'T SEE.
Eric in blue writes "2 plus 7 equals 9."
Eric says ARE YOU DONE?
GREAT.
YOUR ANSWER ISN'T 7.
IT ISN'T 8.
BECAUSE SEVEN
ATE NINE.
Eric in blue smiles.
Eric says I'M SAYING YOUR
ANSWER IS 9.
Eric in blue looks at the number and looks at Eric with his mouth open. He’s in shock.
Eric says AM I RIGHT?
YES!
Eric takes the blindfold off and waves goodbye at Eric in blue. A new purple smoke cloud makes him disappear.
Eric says BYE BYE!
THE THING THAT'S GREAT
ABOUT THIS TRICK
IS IT'S JUST SIMPLE
CALCULATIONS.
THIS TRICK
ALWAYS WORKS.
AND IF IT DOESN'T,
YOUR AUDIENCE
MIGHT NEED TO RECHECK
THEIR CALCULATIONS.
YOU JUST FOLLOW THIS.
All numbers 3 in the board and number 9 in the end blink.
Eric continues
AND THAT'S NOT
THE ONLY THING
THAT'S COOL ABOUT
THE NUMBER 9.
WATCH THIS.
(music plays)
Eric draws a circle and colours it inside. He taps on it and a new clip play. Multiple hands appear on screen.
Eric says YOUR BODY HAS A GREAT
WAY TO HELP YOU OUT
WITH MULTIPLYING
DIGITS UP TO 10
WITH THE NUMBER 9.
All fingers in the hands move while number 9 in yellow appears in the middle.
Eric continues
STARTING FROM THE LEFT
SIDE, LOWER THE FINGER
THAT YOU WERE
MULTIPLYING BY 9.
SAY IT'S 7.
A new clip shows a pair of hands moving one finger at a time as a number pops out while moved. When it gets to 7, the finger in lowered and an arrow points at it.
Eric continues
LOWER THAT FINGER.
AND THE ANSWER IS ON THE
REMAINING FINGERS THAT ARE UP;
YOU GOT IT, 63.
THE NUMBERS ON
THE LEFT SIDE
OF THE 7TH FINGER
ARE THE 10's.
Now the hand moves the fingers while numbers 10, 20,30, 40, 50 and 60 appear correspondingly.
Eric continues
AND THIS SIDE OF THE
7TH FINGER ARE THE ONES.
The fingers to left of the lowered finger count numbers 1, 2 and 3. The hands split up and number 63 appears on screen.
Eric continues
THAT'S HOW YOU GET 63.
WHAT A MAGICAL WAY
TO MULTIPLY BY 9.
Both hands give a thumbs up. Eric appears back in the workroom.
He says SO THERE YOU HAVE IT.
I SHARED ANOTHER
AMAZING SECRET,
HOW TO READ MINDS WITH
SIMPLE CALCULATIONS.
NOW ALL YOU APPRENTICES
CAN TRY IT OUT
WITH YOUR FRIENDS.
AND REMEMBER, IT'S NOT
MAGIC, IT'S MATH.
A big explosion brings the show’s logo back on the screen.
