Hi all,

I'm looking for tricks based on binary arithmetic, something like Pit Harting's "The C***" which is really amazing. This trick is so easy and entertaining!

Are there any magic books that cover binary arithmetic?

Well, of course I have been able to find two must-read atricles on Scott Cram's blog.

Leo Boudreau's "One-Way Back Suit Code" for example is something really amazing.

Pierre-Emmanuel: please elaborate "a bit" on your comments :-/

Thanks for the link, bikoz!

Could Pierre Emmanuel elaborate on his comments?

Yes, probably !

A few posts down in this same forum there is a thread titled "Findley´s Four-Card Trick (Math Magic)" about a somewhat trivial effect based on binary arithmetic. It's hard to imagine it actually fooling anyone, but I guess it's true that "There are 10 kinds of people: those who understand binary arithmetic, and those who don't."

Murf

Leo Boudreau's work "skullduggery" has effects based on binary codes.

There are ten types of people in the world...those who understand binary arithmetic and those who don't.
jmo, dobber

By "ten" I assume you mean "10"!
