A unique collection of bridge problems, math brain-teasers and logic puzzles, from a master in the field.

In the plethora of books on bridge, Erwin Brecher's Hocus Pocus stands out like a breath of fresh air in a crowded pub just before closing time. The unique format combines interesting and far-from-easy bridge problems with challenging and equally difficult logic puzzles. -- Zia Mahmood

Erwin Brecher was born in Budapest and studied mathematics, physics, and psychology and engineering in Vienna, Czechoslovakia and London.
