Video Of The Week: Brain Magic!
An article by 
Kieth Barry is a popular mentalist, hypnotist and magician.
Following is a TED 2004 video of him performing in front a big audience and showing off some really cool mind control tricks. He admits that its not magic, rather illusions created by the slight of hand. If you watch the video closely, you might be able to spot a few things. 
Our brains get trained to think in a specific fashion over the passage of time and hence, form the concepts of ‘the possible’ and ‘the impossible’ according to what is fed to them. These might not necessarily be correct and illusionists of today use this to their advantage.
Here, Keith Barry shows us his own genre of ‘magic’, under the guise of ‘mental deception’. Enjoy!
