Book Review: Magical Mathematics - WSJ.com

Book Review: Magical Mathematics - WSJ.com:

""Magical Mathematics," a dazzling tour of math-based magic tricks. The authors, Persi Diaconis and Ron Graham, are distinguished mathematicians with high-powered academic pedigrees. Both are also accomplished magicians who have taught courses on mathematical magic at Harvard and Stanford."

In the math journal I kept in high school, one of the first entries is my proof of why the "21 card trick" works. I still have all four volumes of the journals -- used one as a prop in my film, The Farewell Wake.
