Apollo Robbins on Illusion Confusion | Brain Games

I think illusions are a part of magic
it’s interesting looking at the
difference of the definition between
illusions and magic and illusions and
science when science looks at illusion
they’re looking at almost as a kind of
short circuit in the brain a place where
the brain or it skips a step and it
highlights something that tells us a lot
more about the brain in magic we look at
as a way to exploit either a false
assumption or some way that the
perception is making you have false
information animation and illusions
often happen by the sequence of frames
in this one I’m going to make you skip a
frame and it will look like magic watch
jack-in-the-box
you know to get how much and it seems
like our mind would process the
information that comes in from our
senses it has to prioritize what it’s
window don’t remember and what’s going
to be forgotten and put on the radar
because it’s not relevant and for me
I’ve always tried to unravel that
mystery how do you play with that
priority system because if I can control
how you prioritize that I can make you
not see feel hear or smell certain
things just because they’re not relevant
and that’s fascinating to me
