Sleights of Mind
''Sleights of Mind: What the Neuroscience of Magic Reveals about Our Everyday Deceptions'' is a 2010 popular science book, written by neuroscientists Stephen Macknik and Susana Martinez-Conde, with science writer Sandra Blakeslee.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Sleights of Mind )〕 Working alongside some of the world’s greatest magicians, Macknik and Martinez-Conde studied how conjuring techniques trick the brain. ''Sleights of Mind'' considers the greater implications of magic and misdirection for clinical conditions such as autism, and for everyday life situations, including choice and trust in personal and business relationships.
''(Sleights of Mind )'' is the result of Macknik and Martinez-Conde’s yearlong, world-wide exploration of magic and how its principles apply to human behavior. ''Sleights of Mind'' introduces Neuromagic as a new area of scientific endeavor, a discipline aimed to uncover the interaction between brain science and the art of magic. Macknik and Martinez-Conde propose that understanding how the mind perceives magic and illusion will provide a greater understanding of perception and cognition at large.
==Synopsis==
Macknik and Martinez-Conde say that magic tricks fool us because humans have hardwired processes of attention and awareness that are hackable. Good magicians use our inherent mental and neural limitations against us by leading us to perceive and feel what we are neurologically inclined to. Working with renowned magicians like Apollo Robbins, Teller, Mac King, and James Randi, Macknik and Martinez-Conde research the ways in which the perceptual and cognitive elements of magic relate to more than simple deceits.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=About the Book, Sleights of Mind by Stephen Macknik & Susana Martinez-Conde with Sandra Blakeslee )〕 The authors reveal the neural underpinnings of the magical methods that explain how our brains perceive magic.
Through their exploration, Macknik and Martinez-Conde uncover how our brains work in everyday situations. They describe how if you have ever bought an expensive item you had sworn you would never buy, the salesperson was creating the “illusion of choice,” a core technique of magic. They also relate the use of magic to Bernie Madoff’s “illusion of trust”. Through these examples, Macknik’s and Martinez-Conde’s Sleights of Mind illuminates the reasons for studying magic, and its implications for research on, and renewed understanding of, perceptual and cognitive processes.
