From the blog, there is a comment from a magician with a BA in Mathematics that I quote here:
"I am a magician with a BA in Math. While the math is great where is the trick? - Perhaps you could explain about the choosing of the cards and what the mystery in the way you reveal the chosen cards, because the average spectator is not going to be awed by a “memorized stacked deck routine” no matter whether you actually memorize your stack of 32 cards, or whether you are using binary to calculate the next card from the previous. Please help me understand where the drama is as a magic trick. The truth is that as you have so far discussed it, this trick will fall flat on its face - please explain how pigrnerform it so that it is not boring
-Ronald Levy"
The reply if you are interested is that you need to be able to develop your story to somewhat condition your audience. I guess the lesson is, that all this is more interesting for Mathematicians and less to Magicians :-)
