The Perfect Shuffle
Oops, I missed my 4th day. Is that poor or what?!
This is an interesting page:
www.dcs.qmul.ac.uk/cs4fn/mathemagic/brentmorris.php
This chap is a computer scientist and interested in magic - a dangerous combination.
On this page he talks about perfect shuffles and how you can send a card to any position in the pack using a sequence of in and out faros. Of course you have to quickly convert decimal into binary and be able to perform faro shuffles to use this technique. Not easy.
There are other ways of acheiving the card to any number effect, most easier than this. But it is an interesting idea to have tucked away, maybe it could be used in conjunction with something else...?
