Description

(click here to see curriculum links)

A combination of stage magic and stunning optical and audio illusions that will have your students questioning everything. Help your students develop a healthy critical outlook on unusual claims, how we think and the tricks our own brains can play on us. Explore the claims of 'psychics', learn about unconscious body-language cues, and discover some of the assumptions our brains make about the outside world.

 

(To exploit one of these assumptions and see something that you know is not real, try staring at the moving image below for 20 seconds without moving your eyes or head, then look closely at the back of your hand...)
