Keith Barry: Brain magic.

[Edible Napalm]

First, Keith Barry shows us how our brains can fool our bodies -- in a trick that works via podcast too. Then he involves the audience in some jaw-dropping (and even a bit dangerous) feats of brain magic.

Explain the hand thing to me. He switched his hand position, but I missed it. Must've been on a camera cut...

I saw a show where that spike trick at the end went wrong for three different magicians, and I've seen a couple more fuckups on Youtube. This guy better have a foolproof method!

Pretty cool. Pretty much every video on TED.com is cool.

I didn't watch the whole clip but I saw the part where he is "magically" transferring touches from the guy to the woman. That effect is called "PK Touches", created by Banachek. Banachek is one of the consultants for Criss Angel. It's pretty much a standard for any mentalist performance. For 10 dollars you can do it too. It is such an easy explanation, that you feel like a complete retard for paying 10 dollars to find out how it's done.
