Abstract
Magic has the ability to grab the attention of adults and children alike, whether it is a traditional trick of pulling rabbits out of a hat or a more sophisticated mind-reading card trick. We started a project at our school to excite children about mathematics using card tricks. We were pleasantly surprised to see such a positive response from children across grades. In the following article, we describe how we used the 27-card trick to introduce ternary bases to students in Grade 9.
