The Magic Theorem: a Greatly-Expanded, Much-Abridged Edition of The Symmetries of Things presents a wonderfully unique re-imagining of the classic book, The Symmetries of Things. Begun as a standard second edition by the original author team, it changed in scope following the passing of John Conway.

John H. Conway was the John von Neumann Chair of Mathematics at Princeton University. He obtained his BA and his PhD from the University of Cambridge (England). He was a prolific mathematician active in the theory of finite groups, knot theory, number theory, combinatorial game theory, and coding theory. He also contributed to many branches of recreational mathematics, notably the invention of the Game of Life. Heidi Burgiel holds a Ph.D. in Geometry from the University of Washington and a Master's degree from the Harvard Graduate School of Education. Her professional activities range from mathematical fiber arts through computer systems administration. Over the past 30 years she has worked at the University of Washington, the University of Minnesota, the University of Illinois at Chicago, the Boston Museum of Science, Boston University, Bridgewater State University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Harvard University, the University of Massachusetts at Lowell, and Lasell University. Chaim Goodman-Strauss is Outreach Mathematician at the National Museum of Mathematics (MoMath). Born and raised in Austin, Tex., he earned his Ph.D. in Knot Theory at UT Austin in 1994 and served through 2022 on the mathematics faculty at the University of Arkansas. He has held visiting positions at the Geometry Center at the University of Minnesota, Princeton University, and the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México.
