Old magician who likes old cars, and old whisky
Simon Aronson published a great card trick titled Prior Commitment first published in his book Simply Simon in 1995. This book is a collection of Aronson’s original card magic and includes detailed explanations of his principles, including the Undo Influence that powers Prior Commitment.
Prior Commitment was performed on Penn & Teller: Fool Us by British mentalist Graham Jolley, and it successfully fooled them.

Las matemáticas también funcionan para otras cuadrículas, aunque creo que sería poco práctico usar una cuadrícula mayor a 4×4. Entonces, ¿qué sucede cuando se trabaja con una cuadrícula de 3×3?
