An ancient puzzle, rebuilt to feel like intuition.
The first part of this ebook includes an illustrated course in building 4x4 magic squares to any total, in both a quick style and a balanced, pattern-free style, with practice drills. The second is three fully scripted routines that present the square as intuition rather than arithmetic: an eyes-closed dictation to a spectator's birth year, a business-card square with a pocket-writer kicker, and a remote version for text and video calls.
