The December issue of SciAm has a paper on magic and the brain.

Looks interesting, but I havent read it yet.

It seems to be about cognition and attention.

Niiiiccceee!!!

Has this anything to do with the conference at which Teller performed the Miser's Dream showing how the mind follows patterns and stuff? If you havent seen it and are interested then youtube "Teller Speaks". Its very interesting!

Yeh, it follows from taht.

Was a really interesting article, many interesting points about the neuroscience of magic.
