Martin Gardner Matematica Magia y Misterio

Matemática, magia y misterio - Martin Gardner

Como muchos otros temas híbridos, la magia matemática es a menudo despreciada por partida doble. Los matemáticos se inclinan a considerarla un juego trivial, y los magos la descartan por tediosa. Parafraseando un epigrama sobre los biofísicos, puede decirse que quienes practican la magia matemática pueden aburrir a los amigos matemáticos con una charla sobre magia, a sus amigos magos con una charla sobre matemática, y a ambos con una charla sobre política. Todas estas animadversiones tienen algo de fundamento. La magia matemática — admitámoslo— no es el tipo de magia con la que se puede tener fascinado a un público de mentalidad no matemática. Sus trucos demoran demasiado y su efecto dramático es escaso.

Andy Nyman – Insane

Insane - andy nyman

The perfect open prediction…”

Do you believe in fate or destiny?

You remove an envelope from your pocket. It is sealed. There are no secret compartments or hidden flaps. You explain that inside this envelope, there is one prediction. One card, sealed. No matter what the spectator says or does, nothing can change the outcome. It is fate. It is determined.

You give the spectator a deck of cards. They examine. They shuffle.

You are completely sure of your prediction, and to prove it, you tear open the envelope, showing a face down card. You are committed. And to make things even MORE fair, you turn the card over. They see the identity. They see the future.

Many magicians have suffered from performing effects that are similar with all their competitions. True story, yours truly have walked into a school show and an agent asked me whether if I’ll be performing the bowling trick or that confetti trick. I was shocked. And he was right on both!
