Adamathica

Bertram Adams
Adamathica by Bertram Adams

A card conceit based on a scientific principle never before used with a complete deck of 52 cards.

That statement above was true in 1921 when Adamathica was first released in a very limited run of 100 copies. Bertram Adams expanded the 27-card trick to a pack of 52 cards. The mathematics are based...

magic. That [...] is frightening. Not 'scared out of your pants' frightening, though. Werner's magic is more like 'out of the box' frightening. And thinking outside the box is what Werner does best. [...] And to someone like me, who rapidly runs out of fingers when trying to solve simple math problems, that 'play' and 'math' and 'magic' and 'creativity' can be used together in the same sentence...well, that's frightening indeed."

Mathematical Magic

William (Bill) Simon
Mathematical Magic by William (Bill) Simon

Mathematical Magic is exactly what its name implies - entertaining tricks, stunts, and effects that can be performed using numbers or objects, such as calendars and playing cards based on numerical principles. These tricks are amazingly simple and require only a few additional props, such as string,...

Mathematical Amnesia

Mike Kempner
Mathematical Amnesia by Mike Kempner

A little math brain teaser turned into a mental effect...

Would you like to be able to make someone (even a Harvard graduate!) forget basic math? I'm talking math that even an elementary school student could do, like 545 + 5? Well, this manuscript is perfect to seemingly induce your spectator with mathematical amnesia.

After you "hypnotize" your spectator, he or she will forget basic math functions. For example, he or she won't even be able to figure out what 545 + 5 equals. We all know, it equals 550, but the spectator WILL be stumped. Your audience (you can perform this one-on-one...

Mathematical Fooler

Joseph B.
Mathematical Fooler by Joseph B.

Mathematical Fooler is in fact an impossible location effect. It really is a fooler. The principle appears as already known but will succeed in deceiving even fellow magicians.

First of all, it is possible to proceed with a borrowed deck, a real selling point. The magician borrows a deck. He...

Mathematical Three Card Monte

Mathematical Three Card Monte by Bob Hummer

An entertaining monte effect where the spectator, not the performer, switches the positions of the cards (which may be borrowed).

Here's another mental stunner by Bob Hummer and it's one of the most baffling he's ever released. Briefly, it can be done with any deck, and only three cards are used...

Mind Over Math

Tommaso Guglielmi
Mind Over Math by Tommaso Guglielmi

An impossible prediction.

Your spectator uses their own phone to fill a 3x3 grid with numbers 1-9 in completely random positions. They calculate the mathematical total themselves using their own choices, their own device, their own numbers. (Note: The input method is handwriting. To give you an idea, this is the app the spectator will use to manually fill out the 3x3 grid.)

Yet you've already predicted their exact result.

No apps to download. No gimmicked props. Pure mathematical impossibility.

Why this destroys audiences:

  • Their phone, their choices - eliminates every possible...

No Math Magic Square

Unknown Mentalist
No Math Magic Square by Unknown Mentalist

Yes. You read that right. This is a no-math magic square presentation. Also, there is no memory involved. So the performer need not do any math during performance and also there is nothing for him to remember by way of formulas or rules etc. The prime objective of this system is to truly entertain your audience members. And you don't even use the phrase Magic Square during your performance.

Basically, in most magic square routines, the premise is that the performer has a 'super brain' or is a 'math whiz' and can create a magic square for any given sum in a short time and then goes on to...

Topic: Science & Math Tricks

Science often appears like magic. Even some small physics or chemical experiment can be utterly baffling. Same is true with math. Some of the best self-working magic tricks have a mathematical foundation at heart. That is why particularly in the past magicians were often exhibiting the latest advances in science and technology as entertainment. For example, Robert-Houdin's "Heavy and Light Chest" was a simple application of an electromagnet. The projection of images and later moving images was mostly done by magicians in the early days of photography and film.

Travel Notes: moves, shuffles and math

Renzo Grosso
Travel Notes: moves, shuffles and math by Renzo Grosso

The effects of "remote" mentalism (with the performer blindfolded, in another room, or, even, on the phone, with only the audio connection) generally use mathematical principles. Often, with a little pack of cards (or billets) real miracles can be performed: if the cards are to be shuffled by the spectator, it is necessary that the shuffle appears as random as possible, even if it must necessarily be a mathematical one.

With this publication I have addressed some well-known moves, used in different ways, alone or in conjunction with other shuffles or other principles; once the principle...

Chemistry Lessons: oil, water, moves and math?

Renzo Grosso
Chemistry Lessons: oil, water, moves and math? by Renzo Grosso

Water and oil is an effect that has always fascinated me, but the principle is so simple that I think it is impossible to invent something more effective; moreover, the effect requires a secret manipulation that is impossible to replicate, if everything is expected to be done in the hands of the spectator, "on the other end of the line" (of the telephone).

I, therefore, followed a different path: to try to replicate, in the spectator, the amazement of finding the separated cards, when they were arranged alternately by his hands, in front of his eyes.

Also in this publication I propose,...
