"Magic Tricks, Card Shuffling and Dynamic Computer Memories" is essential reading for any magic buff who can faro shuffle or who wishes to acquire this unusual skill. The book will also be of great interest to computer scientists and to mathematicians working in the field of combinatorics anyone can read it with enjoyment and profit who is curious about the art and mathematics of card magic, or about the unexpected application of perfect shuffles to the storage and retrieval of computer information. -- Martin Gardner
'Provides a fascinating mix of history, mathematics and great magic tricks. I learned something on every page.' Ron Graham, Chief Scientist, AT&T ' essential reading for any magic buff anyone can read it with profit.' Martin Gardner
Morris entertainingly explores the surprising interconnection between magic tricks, cards, and computers. Part of a series of titles intended to appeal to a broad range of readers from high school students to researchers, the book could stand alone or could be used as a resource for students studying discrete mathematics, combinatorics, algorithms, or computer science. Each chapter begins with the description of a card trick and ends with its explanation, usually using the mathematics developed in the chapter. For patrons of all libraries; recommended for acquisition. General readers: undergraduates through faculty; two-year technical program students. -- CHOICE Magazine
