Abstract: Fernando Blasco is Professor of Applied Mathematics at the Polytechnical
University of Madrid. During his academic career he has been awarded several
mathematical prizes such as the Young Researcher Award of the Polytechnical
University of Madrid. His other great hobby, magic, has led him to become a
member of the Spanish Society of Illusionists. In 2005 he was awarded the
first
prize of Ciencia de Accion ( Science in Action) in the area of performance
for his transmission of mathematical ideas using illusionism.

In 2007, he published his first book on the interaction between mathematics and magic, entitled "Matemagic"
