When you add the digits of a two digit number together and then subtract the result from the original number, you always end up with a multiple of 9. So on the final page, every number that is a multiple of 9 has the same symbol.

I did it, and it worked.

you didnt proove it wrong, you just cant do math...

Here are all the possible numbers you could get by following the equation.

If you choose number 10, 20, 30,........,90; answer : 0
If you choose number 11 - 19; answer : 9
If you choose number 21 - 29; answer : 18
If you choose number 31 - 39; answer : 27
If you choose number 41 - 49; answer : 36
If you choose number 51 - 59; answer : 45
If you choose number 61 - 69; answer : 54
If you choose number 71 - 79; answer : 63
If you choose number 81 - 89; answer : 72
If you choose number 91 - 99; answer : 81

So, if you choose any two digit number, there are only ten possible answers. For all these ten answers, the symbol assigned to them are all the same. And that symbol would be the one that appears. They fool you by changing the symbols every time you try, because they know when you try again, you dont try the same number. So you would think that each number has their own unique symbol. The other numbers are just given other symbols randomly.

so there you go.....not magic at all
