From what I've heard, Perci Diaconis (one of the authors of the original paper) actually could do this. He was a magician before he became a mathematician, and a lot of his early mathematics work focused on math relating to the magic tricks he used to do

Art Benjamin at Harvey Mudd College is another magician/mathematician. The two skills line up pretty well, it seems. When I got my math teaching credential there were two people in my cohort who did magic tricks as well as at least one teacher at the school where I did my student teaching.
