	The wheel of roulette - secrets of the online casino game
		Numbers are evenly divided (from 1 to 36) between red and fl colour.
		There is a magic and symbolism to the roulette wheel is the distribution of numbers and colours on the roulette wheel.
		Even with this, it is factual that no two roulette wheels are alike, and as the roulette relies on physics of the wheel, every wheel is essentially biased, no matter how small the bias is. Some of the vendors compete solely on the basis of measures taken to prevent the bias of the wheel.

	Magic number (physics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Atomic nuclei consisting of such a magic number of nucleons have a higher average binding energy per nucleon than one would expect based upon predictions such as the Semi-empirical mass formula and are hence more stable against nuclear decay.
		Magic numbers are typically obtained by empirical studies, however if the form of the nuclear potential is known then the Schrödinger equation can be solved for the motion of nucleons and energy levels determined.
		Magical numbers are the numbers of nucleons at which a shell is filled.

	The magic number 30 - Print Version
		Its significance to the realms of finance, economics, physics, mathematics, astronomy, and religion is integral to a full comprehension of each field, and almost mystical in its import.
		While the number 30 has many significations, its most fundamental significance is the fact that it is the number of the circle, or cycle.
		Therefore, the number 30 also forms the backbone to understanding the commodities market as well, and is a central component in the analysis of supply and demand.

		They also varied the angle of the diffraction grating relative to the incident beam of clusters, and concluded that the peaks definitely indicated magic numbers corresponding to cluster sizes of 10/11, 14, 22, 26/27 and 44 atoms.

		The nuclear shell model, which was first proposed in 1949, explains that nuclei with certain magic numbers of neutrons and/or protons are especially stable because the neutrons and/or protons form closed shells.
		Nuclei that contain magic numbers of both protons and neutrons are even more stable and are said to be "doubly magic".
		However, it had been thought that highly unstable nuclei would have magic numbers that were different from those found in their more stable counterparts.

	FSU researchers find 'magic' at the subatomic level
		Ingo Wiedenhoever, an assistant professor of physics at FSU, and graduate student Joel Fridmann have authored a paper describing an experiment they participated in as part of an international team of researchers at the Coupled Cyclotron Facility of the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory at Michigan State University.
		In the case of Si-42, however, this proved not to be the case; the isotope was shown to be quite stable.
		The nuclear shell model, first proposed in 1949, states that nuclei with certain "magic" numbers of neutrons and/or protons are especially stable because the neutrons and/or protons form closed shells.

		Most of the illusions and effects presented will be mechanical in nature (or require only modest skill in magic) and hence can be done by most HS or college teachers to augment their existing courses or perhaps as a basis for a physics course for non-majors.
