The maths of card tricks; how to do magic without maths.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
'Provides a fascinating mix of history, mathematics and great magic tricks. I learned something on every page.' Ron Graham, Chief Scientist, AT&T
' ... essential reading for any magic buff ... anyone can read it with profit.' Martin Gardner
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'.
