Mathematics in Magic - "Dissecting Methods"
Tricks, tutorials, and essays from Steven Goodwin
Hey there, seasoned sorcerers! Over the last decade, it seems that magicians have finally decided that math isn’t just for the classroom. So, I figured it was high time to dust off these notes and give them a fresh spin, explaining the effects that rely on math—why they work and how you can bend them to your will.
Understanding the mechanics behind these effects isn’t just for nerds in lab coats; it’s your secret weapon for adapting and expanding tricks in ways that’ll leave your audience scratching their heads. Plus, you can confidently assert that your trick will work every time, thanks to some good ol’ mathematical reasoning—no need to run through every possible scenario to find the ones that flop.

Praise for "Dissecting Methods"
"Mathematics in Magic is an excellent book filled with clever applications of mathematical principles which have been expertly disguised and turned into 'magical gems'. You will love Steven Goodwin's take on the Gilbreath Principle, pick a number effects, the forcing matrix and the magic square, to name but a few. Maths can be a wonderful, sneaky and devious vehicle for magic, as this book proves!" - Chris Wardle, author of 'Quirky Forces' and 'Self-Working Wonders'.
"As someone who doesn't typically do mathematical magic, the greatest praise I can offer is that I understood it." - Amazing Stace
