Everyone knows magic is not real, but the concepts and illusions behind every "trick" are. Understanding the mathematics behind two commonly known math "magic tricks" intrigued me after hearing about these problems during a couple of my undergraduate classes. After taking a closer look at the 4x4 grid trick and the magic square, I was able to determine the math behind these "tricks" and briefly describe how this is possible and how anyone could do it too! Below are the powerpoint and the worksheet to follow along!
