  • 16,000 copies sold!

A magician appears able to banish chaos at will: a deck of cards arranged in order is mixed up – apparently randomly – by a member of the audience. Then, hey presto! The deck is suddenly put back in its original order! Magic tricks like this one are easy to perform and have an interesting mathematical foundation. In this rich, colour-illustrated volume, Ehrhard Behrends presents around 30 card tricks and number games that are easy to learn, with no prior knowledge required. This is maths as you’ve never experienced it before: entertaining and fun!
