I want to know why the puzzle always results in the same sum. Can you explain how the grid is designed so that the sum is a constant?

Magic Square

number grid

Directions for the puzzle:
  1. Choose a number. Circle it. Cross out all of the numbers in the same row and same column as the number you chose.
  2. Choose a number that is not circled or crossed-out. Circle it. Cross out all the numbers in the same row and the same column as the number you chose.
  3. Continue the same process of circling and crossing out numbers until there is only one number left. Circle it.
  4. Add the six circled numbers.
  5. Repeat the process choosing different numbers. Compare your answers.
