About the Author:

Royal Vale Heath was a New York City broker who gained fame as a magician and puzzle enthusiast. He was known for his love of serial numbers, magic squares, and dice. Heath coined the term "mathemagic" to describe his magic tricks based on mathematical principles. He was a frequent contributor to publications like Scripta Mathematica, Hugard's Magic Monthly, and The Jinx.

Heath's work has had a lasting impact on the world of mathematical puzzles and magic. His contributions were recognized posthumously, with his work being exhibited at the David Winton Bell Gallery at Brown University in 1988. Heath also played a crucial role in the career of popular mathematics writer Martin Gardner, introducing him to flexagons during a magic show in 1956, which led to Gardner's influential column in Scientific American .
