How a magician fools your brain by knowing your weaknesses | Pierre Ulric | TEDxKingsParkSalon

Magicians have known for thousands of years that we are nowhere near as smart as we think we are. They’ve exploited our fallible brains - hopefully just for fun! But what’s the psychology and neuroscience behind the sleight of hand? Pierre Ulric calls himself a Magician, and he fully accepts everything this name might conjure. Pierre’s remarkable ability to amaze relies on our brains being easier to fool than we think. With an academic and professional background firmly anchored around scientific disciplines, a multicultural heritage and a penchant for obscure information, his performances have been described as amazing, exciting and insightful. Pierre reached a global audience on Penn & Teller’s Fool Us in 2020. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
