I'm terrible at math and fascinated by magic. I'm starting to realize exactly why I've always been a bad magician.

A YouTube video by posted by Numberphile features math/magic expert Jason Davison. He uses math to demonstrate how to make a really neat magic trick work. It's all in the shuffle.

I watched the entire video and I can't tell if I'm more impressed with his math skills or his "perfect shuffle." It inspired me to test out my own skills. I've always wanted to learn to shuffle, find out if I have what it takes to pull it off perfectly.
