The Neuroscience of magic

This post is interesting...
Writing in Smithsonian magazine, magician Teller (of Penn & Teller) describes the neuroscience that underpins magical illusions, using admirably clear language to describe some of the weirdest ways that our brains can be made to fool us.

"Neuroscientists are novices at deception. Magicians have done controlled testing in human perception for thousands of years."
