It's a Kind of Magic
Mathematical magic tricks explained
David Crawford
You won’t need to be an expert magician to impress and surprise your audience! This large collection of number and card tricks has been assembled by a teacher who uses them with students as a basis for practising mental and written arithmetic skills, and as a source of problems (for pupils to discover for themselves why the tricks work) – as well as for some mathematical entertainment in the classroom. The book is divided into two main sections: How (which explains how you can perform the tricks) and Why (which provides mathematical explanations for the tricks and suggests how mathematics can be used to create similar tricks of your own).
