| Title | Description |
| Advanced Monty Hall | Monty Hall illustrates an idea in probability related to grouping. |
| Fibonaccis Spiral | Fibonaccis sequence and spiral create a unique increasing pattern. This pattern can often be used in different card endeavors. |
| Markov Chain | Markov Chain is an idea in probability that the path an object takes depends on its current status. This can be applied to shuffling and drawing card predictions. |
| Expected Value and Variance | Expected Value is the sum of all possible outcomes by their unique probabilities. It is used in card games and tricks to know which choice has the best chance of doing well. |
| Binomial Distribution | Binomial is a type of distribution. It has applications in many card tricks. |
