Book Description

Here is a book that explores the fascinating interconnections between three seemingly unrelated topics. Each chapter begins with the description of a card trick and ends with its explanation, usually using some mathematics developed earlier. The book itself is designed as a prop for a trick, but you don't need to use mathematics or even understand it to do some 'magic'.
