Mark Wilson's Complete Course In Magic (1975) A comprehensive instructional text covering over 500 magic tricks across multiple categories including cards, coins, mentalism, and stage illusions, which includes detailed illustrations and step-by-step instructions.

Manfred Mohr creates computer-generated art focused on geometric abstraction and algorithmic processes since the 1960s. His work explores mathematical rules and cube-based geometries through custom software and plotting systems.

Vera Molnar pioneered computer art in France beginning in the 1960s using early IBM systems to create geometric and systematic works. Her process combines mathematical precision with intentional variations and distortions of basic geometric forms.

Roman Verostko developed custom coding to create algorithmic pen plotted drawings since the 1980s. His work merges programming with traditional media like ink and paper while exploring patterns and forms derived from mathematics.

Frieder Nake began creating computer-generated art in 1963 using early computing systems and plotters. His work focuses on abstract geometric patterns and explorations of randomness through programming.

Harold Cohen created AARON, an art-making computer program, and produced computational art from the 1970s until his death in 2016. His work investigated artificial intelligence and autonomous systems for generating visual art.
