Balaam's 3rd

Numbers 24:1 - Now when Balaam saw that it pleased the LORD to bless Israel, he did not resort to sorcery as at other times, but turned his face toward the desert.

Did Balaam somehow use sorcery when receiving from God the first two blessings to pronounce upon Israel? If so, why did he think he needed to? Is that what he was up to when he went off by himself the first two times? How did the realization that the LORD was pleased make Balaam change his practices?

I'm curious. Could you please tell me what brought you to this page by mentioning it in a comment? I won't publish the comment, if you ask me not to.
