I've just read this article about psychologists using magicians to help them understand the human mind a bit better.
It's pretty interesting, so I thought I would share it with you all.
Note to the mods - The articel is called "Sleight of magic exposed", but it doesn't actually expose any techniques. Please read it before you send me to the sin bin
