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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDiaconis and Graham tell the stories--and reveal the best tricks--of the eccentric and brilliant inventors of mathematical magic.
