Math! It's Magic!

One of the oldest and most intriguing professions has been that of performing magical illusions. The enjoyment of watching comes with the mystery involved. Unbeknownst to the general public, many of the secrets are based in mathematics. Come learn some magic, perform some magic, and explore the mathematics involved that makes them work. Discuss with colleagues ideas of taking some to a new, more difficult level, and ways to incorporate them into your own classroom.
