A long chapter is dedicated to magic squares from pp. 36 on but many are the tricks described always in the form of a problem/solution which today are attributed to a kind of illusionism called <strong><em>mentalism</em></strong> a form of illusionism whose practitioners through techniques such as <em>cold reading</em> or <em>hot reading</em> give the illusion of being able to read others 'minds demonstrating supernatural or at least highly developed mental and intuitive ability.</p><p>In their performances mentalists give the impression of being able to exercise telepathy clairvoyance divination precognition psychokinesis mediumship mind control hypnosis prodigious memory and rapid mental calculation.</p><p>Among the games described in the text that can be accounted under this category we remember for example:</p><p>Problem XII: Thrown two dice how to guess the values on the top two sides without looking at them.</p><p>Problem XIV: Guessing a number that someone has chosen by asking him questions</p><p>Problem XVI: Guessing a number someone has chosen without asking them questions</p><p>problem XX: Guess how many coins a spectator hides in his hands</p><p>Problem XXVIII: Given three known playing cards and three spectators guess which card each one has chosen.</p><p>problem XXXI: Among different cards arranged on three decks how to guess which one the spectator has chosen</p><p>and many others.</p><p>Jacques Ozanam 1640 - 1718 was a French mathematician.</p><p>Although his father pushed him toward an ecclesiastical career he was much more attracted by science and mathematics that continued to study as a self-taught.

After four years of theological studies his father died and he returned to scientific studies.</p><p>In 1670 he published trigonometric and logarithmic tables more accurate than the existing Ulacq Pitiscus and Briggs works and numerous and well received mathematical publications.</p><p>In particular he had great success with <em>Dictionnaire mathématique</em> the five volumes of the <em>Cours de mathématiques</em> and <em>Récréations mathématiques et physiques </em>; his manuscript entitled <em>Les six livres de l'Arithmétique de Diophante augmentés et reduits à la spécieuse</em> received commendations from Leibnitz himself.</p><p><em>Récréations mathématiques et physiques</em> was also successful in the English translation and is still well known and looked after today.</p><p>He was elected a member of the <em>Académie Royale des Sciences</em> now <em>Académie des Sciences </em>in 1701.
