From Northern Ireland comes a spectacular show where math, theatre and digital technology collide in an interactive performance. Danny Carmo thought school and, in particular, math wasn't for him. He was more interested in dreaming about becoming a magician. But as he learned the tricks of the trade, he realized that math was not only essential... it was THE SECRET to the magic that he loved. "The pupils were mesmerized!" raved a third grade teacher. "Not only do they want to know how to do the magic tricks, they want to know how the math works."
