The United States Own Ghost Army

noreply@blogger.com (George Tait) — Wed, 31 Mar 2010 04:08:00 +0000

Something great to go check out in Michigan! If you're in the Ann Arbor Michigan area and have a chance to go see this amazing exhibit it will be showing through April 30th, 2010. The exhibit focuses on a closely guarded secret of the United States "Ghost Army" or "The Army of Shadows". This was an invisible army that operated within the arts of obsucrity and illusion. The Pentagon apparently denied it's existence for over 50 years!

Four Ghost Army Soldiers: Strong Enough To Lift An Inflatable Tank.

The University of Michgan's Harlan Hatcher Graduate Library is presenting a "Ghost Army" exhibit through April 30, 2010. You'll see photographs, paintings, and drawings among other great stuff.

Arthur Benjamin Does TED TALK

noreply@blogger.com (George Tait) — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 10:34:00 +0000

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?

noreply@blogger.com (George Tait) — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 20:33:00 +0000

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!

Adventures in Finland

noreply@blogger.com (George Tait's Mind Tapped) — Wed, 04 Mar 2009 18:31:00 +0000

After an interesting series of flights stopping off first in Chicago then to Denmark, I find myself (some twenty hours after leaving Detroit) in Finland.

The hotel I'm staying at has a window that looks out onto a roof, its quite beautiful. The weather is snowy and the driver that drove me from the airport to where I'm staying said I should feel right at home as it's much like Michigan here. He's right - it really is.

I'll be here through the 8th and spend a day traveling back to Detroit again.

Whenever I'm on an airplane I've taken to writing letters to folks on the beautiful stationary that's provided with every flight : The Barf Bag.

For those who don't know I'm working on a television program called "Finnish Las Vegas" along side another world famous performer and friend Banachek.

From here I stop home for a couple days before flying out once more to Newcastle, UK to perform and speak at the International Magic Festival. I'm very much looking forward to it.

Until next time,
-George Tait
