Absolutely amazing.
Arthur Benjamin does "Mathemagic" | Video on TED.com
"In a lively show, mathemagician Arthur Benjamin races a team of calculators to figure out 3-digit squares, solves another massive mental equation and guesses a few birthdays. How does he do it? He’ll tell you."

The man has an excruciatingly annoying stage presence.

Makes you wonder what's going on when he gets numbers wrong and the people with the calculators confirm his wrong answers...

I enjoyed that.
I often think I need to put more effort into my mathematics knowledge
