Is maths the closest we can get to actual magic? Barney will be sharing his top tips for pulling off mind-reading feats and human-calculator wizardry, with plenty of tricks for you to dazzle your friends and family.

A former cabaret juggler, Barney now divides his time equally between tutoring maths to University level in Dorset, and presenting maths shows & assemblies and maths workshops in Primary and Lower Secondary schools throughout Dorset, Hampshire and the South. As a teacher of maths Barney is clear, dynamic, innovative and entertaining; as a maths demonstrator and schools visitor Barney delights in sharing his passion, tricks and insights into the hidden maths of our everyday lives.
