Sleights of Mind: What the Neuroscience of Magic Reveals about Our Everyday Deceptions by Susana Martinez-Conde, Stephen Macknik, Sandra Blakeslee

3.0

I got this book as a research text for one I'm writing. I was sure that it was going to be informative but didn't have many expectations past point. I am pleased to report that it was also a fun read. The writing is not the best that I've ever seen, there were places were things felt of kilter, and a couple of spots where the authors felt like they lost their train of thought, but they had so much fun with the project that it did not seem to matter.

Before reading this, people need to know that the authors do reveal some of the secrets to some pretty famous tricks.
