The team behind Computer Science for Fun (CS4FN), bring you Conjuring with Computation: a beginners guide to computer science and magic. Develop your skills to be a magician while also learning the basics of computer science by exploring its links to magic. Each chapter explains how to do a simple magic trick, step-by-step, then uses the trick to introduce linked fundamental ideas in computer science in a fun way.By reading the book you will learn to do self-working tricks, be able to hold magic shows, create you own versions of tricks and with creativity even invent your own. We cover: Self-working card tricks; Magical jigsaws, boxes and other objects; False shuffles and cuts; False choices; Magic with books and pictures; Mentalism, clairvoyance and tricks with ghosts; Magic built on technology; Find out your friends’ superpowers!You will also learn how computation underpins conjuring answering questions like: What is computation? Why are the skills of a computational thinker, like decomposition, abstraction and generalisation, so important? Why is data represented in different ways? How is easy to use software created? How does maths underpin programming? What are the basics of cyber security and privacy? Why must we all understand how computing technology affects society?The book includes profiles of magicians through history with links to computer science, maths and engineering.Master conjuring and thinking computationally.Key FeaturesWhile there have been books on magic with maths, and magic with science, we believe this is the first comprehensively exploring the links between magic and computer scienceBoth authors are eminent researchers and award winning for their public engagement work. Their cs4fn and Teaching London Computing Projects that the book draws from have a huge global following including of teachers. This book is an extended version of one of the most popular aspects of their projects: using magic tricks to introduce computer science ideas. This is a much more comprehensive version of that ideaIt will appeal to anyone interested in magic or computer science: novices interested in learning magic, magicians interested in the links to computation, and also teachers, students and the general public interested in computing. It gives teachers fun and novel ways to introduce computing topicsComputing is now compulsory in UK schools as well as many other countries so there is a lot of interest in fun ways to learn about it and teach itIt also builds on the tradition of recreational maths and magic and will also be of interest to those interested in lay recreational mathematics/science and STEM public engagement
