Jack

He was known as the Human Calculator.

And then his prodigy, Luke Beniziosis, who won the competition last year, was the Human Calculator.

And now that's been passed on to Greg Brydon, who is my training partner up here in Victoria.

So it's just a, it's a number of techniques, but it really comes down to repetition.

So we were training the couple of weeks, leaning up to it at least once a day.

And if not multiple times a day, either in person over Zoom and also through applications like an app called Mental Maths, which is just aimed at high school students to improve their addition skills.

But for auctioneer, it's kind of our secret tool.

Oh, I used to do a card trick where I'd make all the cards disappear very quickly and then one of the cards would appear in a participant's pocket.

So that always used to get a good laugh when it worked.

When it didn't, it was very embarrassing for a 12-year-old Jack.

A magician never reveals his secret.

Jack, let's hit our three stories.

15 years before this song, two boys from the Northeast met in a dorm.

They had an idea to cause a cultural storm.

It's the best one yet, but the best is the norm.

Kind of went back and forth.

Where should I use my real name or a fake name?
