Magicians are manipulating your consciousness. They are showing you something impossible. They're getting you to construct a narrative, which simply isn't true. So that means they know how to make you aware of certain things and blind to other things. What I'm hoping is that magic, this entertainment vehicle that has been around for a long time, will give us a real insight into the deep mysteries of consciousness.

Over the last five years, there's been a reawakening as we look at things like change blindness (a failure to see large changes in a visual scene) and at the fact that consciousness is a construction and may even be an illusion. Now there's a recognition that magicians are doing something very special.

We're starting to realize that magicians have a lot of implicit know-ledge about how we perceive the world around us because they have to deceive us in terms of controlling attention, exploiting the assumptions we make when we do and don't notice a change in our environment. There is an enormous amount of really detailed instruction on how to perform magic. People are always blown away by how detailed a description you'll have.

What it shows is just how much of the picture in our head of our surroundings is a massive construction, based on expectations, what we think is important, what we normally encounter and so on. And that's what magicians are very good at exploiting.

[The last time an experiment of this type was attempted, Wiseman said, was in 1971 at a Grateful Dead concert, when an image was projected on a screen above the frenetic crowd and two professional psychics tried to receive it.] One did well and guessed it, ... the other didn't.

What his research seems to be saying is that women are the laughers and men get the laughs.
