Amazing Mathemagic!

He calls this mathemagic.  Wonder what it takes to be able to calculate these so fast just in your head?

The guy here is just incredible ~ it's worth the few minutes.  Watch the big finish!

Very neat!  I wish I could do math like he does.

I love "Okay, let's recap" And then he puts the cap back on his pen.  I love it when nerds have a sense of humor.  That makes them cool nerds. 
There was once a saying that goes "If you put an infinite amount of monkeys in a room with an infinite amount of typewriters, eventually they will produce something worth reading."

The internet has proved this wrong.
