Brief Biographical Sketch:

I'm a Senior in Ezra Stiles from Los Angeles, California studying to be an Electrical Engineering/Computer Science major. Performing card tricks is one of my favorite hobbies (I'm an officer in the Yale Magic Society), and as a math-science person, I'm equally fascinated by mathematical or algorithmic card tricks as I am by sleight of hand tricks.
