Tell them to think of a number between 1-9.
Tell them to double it
Tell them to add, let's say, 4
Tell them to half it
Tell them to tell them their answer
and their answers would be 2.
How? Easy.
Half of the number you tell them to add after they double their, is the number they started with.
In this case, 2 would be their starting answer because half of 4 is 2
It also works with odd numbers, if you're good at calculating decimals
So remember.
Think of a number.
Double it
Add a number of your choice
Half it
Ask for their answer.
Half the number you told them to add
Tell them
And there you go, they'll think you're a mind-reader

How does think of a number mind game works?
By using the inverse function - inverse operations in the reverse order. If you are asked to think of a number, (A) multiply by 7, and (B) add 5, the person "reading your mind" will start with your answer and (B-1) subtract 5, and (A-1) divide by 7. Sometimes some of these are built into the process so that the "quizzer" has less to do.
