The 16-Digit Effect, better known as Add-A-Number, is a classic effect that can fit in your pocket and is powerful enough to close your show.
In this manuscript, Steve Pellegrino shows you how to construct several gimmicks with index cards and notepads so that you can put away those suspicious magic shop props and have something that you can create for only a few dollars.
With one trip to Walgreens, an office supply store, or even a grocery store, you will have everything you need for a stunning effect, including a way to lock the "hot" section of the gimmick from a spectator while they're adding the numbers.
The effect is analyzed with several examples of performances styles to help guide you to creating an original routine so you can make it yours!
If you've never tried this effect, this manuscript will give you the confidence to perform it. But, on the other hand, if you have performed it and are looking for some creative suggestions, it will motivate you to look at the effect in a different light.
