Okay, no matter what number you choose, the end result is a multiple of 9.

Proof:
Number = 10A + B
10A + B - (A + B) = 9A

They use the same symbol for all the multiples of 9. (Although this symbol cycles, so it's not the same symbol every time you do this)
Whatever symbol it is, is what's shown in the crystal ball.

Holy crap, can't believe how superstitious some people are.

Edit: For a REAL magic trick (this one is based on quantum fluctuations) try this one http://www.ecardtricks.com/mr1.htm
No math gimmicks here.

This one doesn't work on card players, since they remember every card they see the first time, and notice the trick.

I'll admit, it took me two tries before I saw it. Thats why I'm an amateur.

Whenever there is a game like this, think to yourself, "How come I can't just pick a number? Why do I have to do this weird little math?"

Although by this point you probably would have passed out because you were thinking these things instead of "inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale..."
