Sleights of Mind

333 pages - - PDF New!

“Sleights of Mind: What the Neuroscience of Magic Reveals about Our Everyday Deceptions” explains magic tricks by telling one about the shortcuts, limits, and programming of the brain (and attendant sensory systems) that facilitate such tricks. Stephen Macknik, Susana Martinez-Conde, and Sandra Blakeslee are the authors of this book. This book is an excellent insight into the workings of the brain and how magicians have been on the forefront of knowledge on cognitive processes long before science. It is all about how our mind perceives (underscore perceives) the physical world around us primarily through the integration of our visual system in combination with other systems. The primary way that this is explored is, voila. Through the art and spectacle of magic (but strictly defined as those practitioners who deal in illusions, sleights, and memory and expectational manipulations; this is not to be confused by the hucksters who claim supernatural power or innate abilities to seemingly defy reality).
