A magic square is a series of numbers arranged in the form of a square in which horizontal, diagonal and vertical rows add up to the same total. Magical talismans have been used by Abramelin, Aleister Crowley, Cornelius Agrippa and Dr John Dee. Yantras are Indian magic squares which are a form of mandala - they are usually constructed for meditational purposes - astrological yantras are used when the additional energy from any of the planets is required.
Believe it or not, the Indian culture discovered magic squares first. However, many people tend to believe the Chinese invented this game.
The magic square is not actually magical; it is just a grid where each side - diagonally, horizontally, and vertically - add up to a specific number. It was, supposedly, invented by the Chinese.

Just take any magic square, and multiply every number by 5. Here you will get another magic square with all numbers multiples of 5.
A 3x3 magic square has the property that the sum of the numbers in each row, column, and diagonal is the same. For a 3x3 magic square using the numbers 1 to 9, the magic constant is 15, not 18. If you're referring to a different set of numbers or a modified version of a magic square, please specify the numbers used to achieve a magic constant of 18.
Think! What if the magic square had an even number of cells. There's your answer.
In an 8x8 magic square, the sum of each row, column, and diagonal is the same, known as the magic constant. For an n x n magic square, the magic constant can be calculated using the formula ( M = \frac{n(n^2 + 1)}{2} ). For an 8x8 magic square, this gives ( M = \frac{8(64 + 1)}{2} = 260 ). Therefore, the sum in the 1st row of an 8x8 magic square is 260.
