DESCRIPTION:*This interactive mathematical session will focus 
 on a range of tricks that appear to be magic\; how
 ever\, we will closely examine them to see what is
  really happening behind the scenes. Some of the t
 ricks work as a result of clever\, but simple\, ma
 thematics\, whilst others are more a case of proba
 bility or psychology.* A few of the exercises will
  be left unsolved by the group so students may thi
 nk about possible solutions after the lecture. Stu
 dents are asked to bring a pencil or pen and a bas
 ic calculator to the lecture.\n\n*About the speake
 r:* Adam Boddison is a freelance mathematics consu
 ltant interested in engaging the minds of young pe
 ople with how maths affects everyday life. In addi
 tion to teaching maths at both primary and seconda
 ry levels\, he is a postgraduate researcher invest
 igating how video conferencing technology can enri
 ch the maths curriculum at Key Stage 2. Adam's wid
 er interests include strategy games\, magic and ps
 ychology.\n\n*Audience:* secondary students\, ages
  11-14*\n\n<b>Admission to all our lectures is fre
