Magical Mathematics - The Mathematical Ideas That Animate Great Magic Tricks  

 Magical Mathematics:
The Mathematical Ideas That Animate Great Magic Tricks

Magical Mathematics reveals the secrets of fun-to-perform card tricks―and the profound mathematical ideas behind them―that will astound even the most accomplished magician. Persi Diaconis and Ron Graham provide easy, step-by-step instructions for each trick, explaining how to set up the effect and offering tips on what to say and do while performing it. Each card trick introduces a new mathematical idea, and varying the tricks in turn takes readers to the very threshold of today's mathematical knowledge...
