While I was very good at primary, high-school and university mathematics, and faster than my peers in any kind of mathematics, I had never tried (or thought of trying) to be very fast (like Scott Flansburg) at adding up a long column of numbers or multiplying 47138 by 269273 in my head. So when Scott promised to "reveal his secrets" for performing calculations at lightning speed, I decided to buy his book. I figured that if I was so good at mathematics it would be easy to do "speed math" if only "the secrets were revealed".I regret to say that I have never been more disappointed in a book! While the book has some interesting and useful techniques for doing some specific calculations quickly (e.g. multiplying by 11 or squaring two-digit numbers that end in 5 or multiplying numbers in the 90s), it fails miserably at getting you to add up six two-digit numbers any faster than you could by doing it the normal way. Even after practising the so-called secrets, it still takes a while to multiply, say, 79 by 68, much less 47138 by 269273.For example, his "technique" for multiplying 79 by 68 quickly is to do the following: work out 7 times 6 and remember that is 4200; then cross-multiply 7 by 8 (56) and 9 by 6 (54) and add them to get 110; multiply 110 by 10 (1100) and add this to 4200 to get 5300. While remembering all this, multiply 9 by 8 (72) and add this to get the answer 5372.After all that, you are supposed to say, "Wow, Scott! That was easy." If you think that is easy, try doing it in your head. And with all the practice in the world, you will never get as fast as someone who can simply look at the numbers and tell you the answer.There are no "secrets" revealed in this book to get you to do arithmetic faster, either mentally or on paper. All of the techniques discussed can be easily found on the Net. While I am sure that Scott deserves his title "human calculator", you will never become anything remotely like him by reading and practising the methods in this book. Like most celebrities, he just decided to piggy-back on his reputation to sell a book.One more thing: less than half of the book is devoted to "techniques". The rest is "padding" with things like how to calculate tips and taxes, how to measure things like thea area of a piece of land, some information on military time, working with fractions (just like in elementary school) etc. There is an introduction to algebra but it is poorly presented; you will learn better from any school book on algebra. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Math Magic - a whole new way to do it!!! *by A***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 29, 2010* I first saw Scott on a TV show where he was able to get the host to do this type of math very quickly. I was impressed. Math had not been my strong suit in school (some decades back!). I also had a very sorry ATTITUDE about math. I finally got the book, used it, and was amazed at the difference it made in both my ABILITY and my ATTITUDE. Since that time, I have regularly bought copies of this book to GIVE away to those who showed an interest and needed help. Knowledge should be SHARED and this is one super way to change how you do math, whether child or adult. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/122906721-math-magic-how-to-master-everyday-math-problems](https://www.desertcart.at/products/122906721-math-magic-how-to-master-everyday-math-problems) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-04-26*
