Science: Stephen Macknik & Susana Martinez-Conde: The Science Behind Magic
Magic tricks fool us because we have hardwired—but hackable—attention and awareness processes: A good magician uses your mind's intrinsic properties against you. By studying magicians' brain-tricking techniques, Barrow Neurological Institute lab directors Stephen Macknik and Susana Martinez-Conde, founders of the field of neuromagic and authors of Sleights of Mind, illuminate our everyday behavior, from the diagnosis of autism to marketing techniques and education. Presented as part of Seattle Science Lectures, with Pacific Science Center and University Book Store. Series sponsored by Microsoft. Series media sponsorship provided by KPLU.
