“Magical Mathematics 揭示了那些令人惊叹、表演趣味十足的扑克魔术背后的奥秘——以及其深奥的数学思想——哪怕是最出色的魔术师也会为之赞叹。Persi Diaconis 与 Ron Graham 为每个魔术提供了简便明了的分步指导，解释了如何布置效果，并针对表演时的台词与动作提供了独门诀窍。每个扑克魔术都引入了一个崭新的数学思想，而魔术的种种变化又反过来将读者引至当今数学知识的前沿门槛。例如 Gilbreath principle——一种奇妙的效果，使得扑克牌保持……”

这是一本极妙的书，尤其是当他或她对魔术感兴趣时：Persi Diaconis 和 Ron Graham 写的《Magical Mathematics: The Mathematical Ideas That Animate Great Magic Tricks》。
This is a beautiful book, especially if he or she is into magic: Magical Mathematics: The Mathematical Ideas That Animate Great Magic Tricks by Persi Diaconis, Ron Graham
Persi 是个极富魅力且成就斐然的人物。他的书《Magical Mathematics》非常有趣。其实数学和计算机圈子里一直都有擅长魔术的高人传统。如果你喜欢这类东西，Alex Elmsley、Bob Hummer、Martin Gardner 也是值得去了解的几位……
Perci is a fascinating and very accomplished guy. His book "Magical Mathematics" is really interesting. There's actually a long history of math and comp sci folks who were very good magicians. Alex Elmsley, Bob Hummer, Martin Gardner are a few other to check out if you're into that…
《Magical Mathematics》棒极了！其实干货满满，带“门外汉”一步步用组合数学推导出一些复杂扑克魔术的原理。读起来特别过瘾，里面有不少烧脑的内容！数学难度其实比人们想象的要……
Magical Mathematics is great! Dense actually, walks the "layperson" through proving how some complex card magic works with combinatorics. Really fun read, some mind bending stuff in there! The math is harder than one would…
他的书有哪本值得一读吗？《Group Representations In Probability And Statistics》？还是《Magical Mathematics: The Mathematical Ideas That Animate Great Magic Tricks》——这本拿了 2013 年 Euler Book Prize
Any of his books worth reading? Group Representations In Probability And Statistics Magical Mathematics: The Mathematical Ideas That Animate Great Magic Tricks — winner of the 2013 Euler Book Prize
天哪，听到这个消息太难过了。我是 Graham 教授的铁杆粉丝。我手头有他的很多书——《Magical Mathematics》、《Rudiments of Ramsey Theory》、《具体数学》（Concrete Mathematics）、《Handbook of Combinatorics》。前段时间我还参加了在圣迭戈举行的 AMS 会议，听完他的讲座后还请他在我的《Erdos on Graphs》上签了名……
Wow, very sad to hear this. I am a big fan of Professor Graham. I owned many of his books - Magical Mathematics, Rudiments of Ramsey Theory, Concrete Mathematics, Handbook of Combinatorics. I attended an AMS conference in San Diego a while back and asked him to sign my Erdos on Graphs book after listening to his…
