The Mathematics
of MagicWarm up
Every whole number from 0 to 10 can be written as an expression using the numerals 2017 in that order using any operators. e.g. 10 = 2+ 0 + 1 + 7 How many can you find?

5 = -2 + 0 + 1 × 76 = -2 + 0 + 1 + 77 = (2 + 0)× 1 + 78 = 20 + 1 × 79 = 2 + 0 + 1 × 710 = 2 + 0 + 1 + 7
Sample Answers
0 = 2 × 0 × 1 × 71 = 20× 1 × 7
2 = 20 + 17
3 = 20 - 174 = -2 + 0 - 1 + 7

The pre-prepared pad
It is important that no-one, except the person adding them, sees all the numbers.
After the 4 volunteers have written their numbers close the pad.

What was the chance of that?People remember that they were asked for a number between 1 and 100 , Pr = 1
100.
In reality a two digit odd number with both digits different cuts it down to Pr = 1
20.

4. Move 4 cards, it can be from either pile or a mixture, from the top to the bottom of the pile. Place the top two cards out.
5. Move 3 cards from the top to the bottom of either pile. Place the top two cards out.
6. Move 2 cards from the top to the bottom of either pile. Place the top two cards out.
7. Move 1 card from the top to the bottom of either pile. Place the top two cards out.
