Effect

Mindculator is a magic trick that uses a calculator to create surprising effects with numbers. A spectator can use the calculator normally. The magician then makes numbers move on the screen, change to different values, or accurately predict a total the spectator calculates. The calculator can be handled before and after the trick, making the effects seem impossible.
