ABSTRACT

In this chapter we will consider several mathematically based card tricks and games, as well as some strange situations. The idea is that we will see uses for mathematics you might never have guessed existed. In order to learn these card tricks, we will extend our mathematical base by learning new counting techniques and some new math models. We will also make use of some of the tools we have already seen. What we shall see is that knowing a little mathematics can give you a big advantage in many situations!
