Arthur Benjamin Does TED TALK

One of my favorite acts to watch appearing on TED talk. The amazing mental feats Benjamin can accomplish are mind blowing...Even when you know how he does it!

Arthur was kind enough to allow me to re-publish his approach to performing the magic square in my upcoming book Mind Tapped 75 mental feats you can do with your mind!

Check out his book on the Secrets of Mental Math:

Critical Thinking?

This is an exerpt from my Critical Thinking talk that I give. After a short series of demonstrations the audience is asked if it was all done using psychology, psychic powers, or magic tricks. Then folks are asked why they think what they think. It's surprising what folks decide on despite being told exactly what's going on before the demonstration begins. Remember experience doesn't always equal truth and seeing isn't always believing because sometimes we can misinterpret the data in front of us!
