By learning the rule, after viewing a given card the performer will be able to predict the next card in the deck. The key to the trick is an application of modular arithmetic, one that the author hopes will lend itself as an interesting device for mathematics education.}, msc2010 = {A20xx (F65xx)}, identifier = {2012d.00003}, }
