Optical Illusions And Misdirection?

Postby Mr_Grue » Jan 19th, '11, 12:57



Richard Wiseman posted three illusions to his blog. They all follow the same theme, which is how our brains aren't very good at seeing changes in things that are in motion. It seems to key into a couple of bits of misdirection, such as using a big move to hide a smaller move, and hiding sleights such as passes whilst your hands are in motion.

Oh yeah. Linky!

If the spectator doesn't engage in the effect,
then the only thing left is the method.
