Why listen to a psychologist about magic?
• Much of magic involves human percep9on and a;en9on
• Understanding magic is as much about the understanding the audience member as about the magician and his mirrors, hidden wires, and cards up his sleeves.

Magic in normal percep9on • Inven9ons of the eye: color, mo9on • Seeing things that aren’t there: Hermann Grid, aZerimages • Failing to see things that are there • Perceptual distor9ons
E.g., how to make something disappear • Stabilize it on the re9na • Camouflage it to look like something else • Camouflage it to blend with background

Illusions of Depth
• How do we see the world in 3D when our re9nas are 2D?
• There are lots of clues to depth. – Some involve our having two eyes – Others don’t.

Illusions with Faces
• We see faces everywhere, even in the clouds and the moon.
• Some people are face-‐blind (prosopagnosia).

Conclusions
• There are lots of perceptual illusions that seem like “magic”
• Many / most of these illusions demonstrate shortcuts our cogni9ve system uses to make percep9on operate more quickly
• We don’t really know what the real world “looks like,” so everything we perceive could be an illusion, at least par9ally!
