I would think you could apply several of the Martin Gardner Math tricks to a calculator?

There's the setup wherein you can do a number force on any scientific calulator...easier than writing the #'s down on a gimmicked pad, etc. They push the equals sign and your forced number pops up as the total. Dat's a goodie! I've got the instructions around here someplace, but have misplaced them....

There's a few based on the fibonacci sequence. I perform one from one of Tom Craven's column in The Linking Ring from the 90's. I'll look it up the exact issue for you when I get home.

Calculator tricks? Brave soul.
If you must, I can recommend two books: Sherwood, John C. The Conjurer's Calculator. Calgary: Mickey Hades, 1976. Jefimenko, Oleg D. How to Entertain With Your Pocket Calculator. Star City: Electret Scientific Company, 1975 It's probably worth mentioning that if you perform the material at the wrong place at the wrong time for the wrong people, you'll be arrested for crimes against humanity. |

If you do a search in the Secret Sessions, there is a fun little program I wrote for my TI-83 graphing calculator that I used as a way of revealing a chosen card

The Napoleons published a great little thing in which a digit seems to slide from one enfd of the display to the other - a visual stunner.
