As a sequel to yesterday’s post on change blindness, here’s a card trick by Richard Wiseman – magician, psychologist, and blogger. He’s the one on the left. And he stays that way. But watch the trick, and see how observant you are.
I quickly guessed (correctly) how the card trick was done, but just as I was thinking how clever I was not to have been fooled, the video pointed out my change blindness.
Well... I would have noticed if somebody had run by in that gorilla suit.
ReplyDeleteThe gorilla suit is probably from this awareness test, which is much better known.
