Mathemagic

Math is one of those subjects that most students have a love or hate relationship with. If you hated it you at school chances are that nowadays you make a living as a lawyer or maybe a historian. If you loved it, there is a good possibility that you became an engineer of some sort or probably an actuary.

But even if you loved the subject to pieces, I doubt it if you would have ever thought of becoming a “mathemagician”. I’d never met one before. That is until this morning when I came across Arthur Benjamin. Not the man himself, but a video of one of his shows. And let me tell you that the guy is quite amazing!

And since this morning I cannot stop to wonder: if he is that good with numbers …maybe he could do a little trick with my age?
