Logic Defied

It has been an incredible week. After two years of work, we published our paper about the Science of Magic in May. The press release went out July 22nd, and it has been an incredible ride ever since. If you want to read the paper, you can download it here.

Radio interviews relating to the recent paper:

The Daily Telegraph Newspaper
Science Update
CTV Canada AM
CTV Saskatoon Local news
CTV National News
Canwest Publishing
The Canadian Press
CBC Radio Vancouver

Most of these interviews were conducted over the phone. For the evening news segments, we filmed a live show at Truffles Bisro in downtown Saskatoon followed by an interview. Everyone had a great time.

In the shoot I performed several magic tricks including the now-famous bill-to-lemon trick, a mind-reading trick, and a trick involving a ring and a rope. All the while, a man in a gorilla suit walked through the shoot. Did you see it?
