🧠🃏 New #research suggests that Three-Card Monte works by exploiting how our #brains predict where our eyes should move next.

Instead of relying on speed, magicians use specific physical cues to trigger a natural eye-tracking error called an antisaccade. This brief lapse in visual focus allows the performer to swap the cards while the observer's #brain is busy processing a misdirected movement.

Magicians' talk doesn't trick the eyes, Three-Card Monte experiment suggests

Magicians often talk while performing their acts, using a type of speech called "patter." This can include scripted dialog, storytelling, and interactions, and is often used to entertain and manage audiences, with many people—including magicians—believing that it can even misdirect spectators and make sleight-of-hand tricks harder to spot. But does patter actually pull focus and make it difficult for viewers to see what's happening? A new study published in Scientific Reports tests that assumption directly—and the results are surprising.

Anoles must be among the stupidest creatures on earth. I love them, they're so cool, but yeah, they literally have #lizard #brains. It's the season where they're waking up and they are *everywhere* and, of course, they make a b-line for your house the moment you open the door. There's a baby anole that came into my place that I cannot catch. He will starve to death in here if I wrangle him safetly and get him out. He just ran *away* from the open door. Moron! #animals #dumb

Due to a cheeky Audible deal (which expired 2 days ago, for what it's worth), I can now genuinely say that my most child-friendly and my most grown up books are simultaneous bestsellers on Amazon. Which is... flattering, for various reasons.
