Comments: From Martin Gardner's Introduction: "In recent years a number of game situations involving dice, cards, and roulette have been discovered in which mind-boggling probability paradoxes are generated by nontransitive relations. Karl Fulves is the first to investigate in depth how these paradoxes can be applied to all sorts of sucker bets and magic tricks. His valuable book pulls together a bewildering variety of such paradoxes, to which Karl has added many variations and new ideas of his own. For those who enjoy exploring those bizarre regions where math and magic overlap, this book will open endless fascinating pathways."
