numerology, gematria and mathematical symbolism.

Numerology goes on the belief that each number has a meaning that is of mystical and philosophical significance. A number is assigned to each letter of the alphabet to help math magicians in the evaluation of star charts, personalities & horoscopes. Symbolism is used by math magicians, in a largely qabalistic manner to clarify meanings in tarot cards and alchemy.

Gematria, similar to numerology, is used by qabalists to find connections between words and phrases. Here too, numbers are assigned to each letter of the alphabet and used to calculate the value of words such as love, hate, god etc. Gematria is traditionally used in Hebrew and Greek texts, though math magicians have now also started using it in English.

However, just as magicians rely on math to help them improve their performances, it is interesting to note that some mathematicians actually rely on magic tricks to help them resolve real life problems. One example would be Persi Diaconi, a mathematician at Stanford, who uses a normal pack of playing cards to solve complicated problems in physics and engineering.

All of these citations of math magicians and examples of math and magic crossing their carefully ordered dictionary-defined boundaries, is but one wondrous instance of how logic and reason can merge successfully with instinct and the paranormal to bring about greatness.
