Description: Persi Diaconis, the Stanford professor who discovered that 7 riffle shuffles are the minimum required to properly mix the deck, and Ron Graham, the UCSD professor who popularized the Erdős number concept (The mathematical world's equivalent of a Kevin Bacon number), have just released a much-talked about book titled Magical Mathematics.

Unlike many books of math-based magic effects, which simply describe the effect and then teach the method, Magical Mathematics goes a step further by examining the principles behind each routine in detail!

Each chapter focuses on a single principle, so that a full understanding can be developed. This detailed examination can spark your own creativity by suggesting variations. You'll also see how many of the principles are used in the real world, beyond just the performing of magic routines!

Martin Gardner himself wrote the foreword before he passed away, and you can read his thoughts in the preview below.

To master any magic routine requires time, effort, and understanding. If you're willing to provide the time and effort, Magical Mathematics goes a long way in aiding the understanding of the material.
