Interesting topic, but the article is unfortunately almost completely lacking any real information! It's basically a tease.
Would be really interesting to see more in depth writing on the subject though.
- michael_dorfman 18y agoI agree. I also felt the same way about this TED talk: http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/keith_barry_does_brain_magic.html http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/keith_barry_does_brain_ma... It raised the topic in a very entertaining way, but never went beyond that.
- icey 18y agoIf you're really interested in it, there is a psychology book out there that's actually a great basis for getting started: Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion by Robert Cialdini: http://www.amazon.com/Influence-Psychology-Persuasion-Business-Essentials/dp/006124189X http://www.amazon.com/Influence-Psychology-Persuasion-Busine... It's marketed as a business / marketing book, but it is probably on the book shelf of every one of the magicians / mentalists that this article refers to.
