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. Diaconis and
Graham tell the stories--and reveal the best tricks--of the
eccentric and brilliant inventors of mathematical magic. The book
exposes old gambling secrets through the mathematics of shuffling
cards, explains the classic street-gambling scam of three-card
Monte, traces the history of mathematical magic back to the oldest
mathematical trick--and much more.
