Assignment 3 Magic Time
(Due Monday, September 11th)
You have three magic books in your posession now. This week's assignment is to look through these three books, pick out a magic trick and perform it for the class next Monday. You must also explain how the trick works to the class.
No writing is involved. However, this is a form of communication. Since that is one of the words in the official title of Math 391, it is completely legit.
You may work with one or two partners if it helps to obfuscate the trick or if the trick requires a partner.
In order that all twenty-three of you do not all do the same trick, please coordinate amongst yourselves so that you present different magic tricks.
Remember to have fun.
