Magician's "Brain Magic" (TED Talk)

Keith Barry (TED/ted.com,7/21/08); Dhr. Seven, Pat Macpherson (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly

 

First, Keith Barry shows us how our brains can fool our bodies -- in a trick that works via podcast, too. Then he involves the audience in some jaw-dropping (and bit dangerous) feats of brain magic, misdirection, psychology, quantum entanglement, NLP, or goodness knows what else. Prepare to be amazed or to call it an amazing hoax.
