(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Jeff Sinclair. With chapters like "Psychic Predictions," "Card Sorcery," and "Calculator Wizardry," this book contains dozens of math tricks the numerically inclined can use to amaze their friends. Each has a paragraph "explaining" the trick, but the book really promotes math interest and use rather than teaching any math processes. Cartoon illustrations decorate the magic acts. Glos., ind.
