Secrets to being a mathematician
So you want to be a mathematician.
Some say that being a mathematician is hard, but I would have to say that being a mathematician is quite simple-- peasy, even; once you get the hang of it. All you need to do is start off with is a bunch of numbered cards, have a somewhat basic knowledge of your digits, a little bit of rememberization skills, a reliable helper, and a cape. One with a bit of dazzle, if you can find it. (This has helped me perform tremendously.)
