I agree this is really interesting as it shows how when your attention is thrown in one direction, you completely miss what’s going on in another direction. (Supposedly the basis of all magic tricks, and probably all religious’/spiritual charlatans).
I was completely fooled by it. But really loved discovering the idea behind it afterwards.

Like all magic it relies on mis-direction. A wonderful little video.

I’ve shown it to a couple of my students and they didn’t see the changes … neither did I. It’s great watching how it was done afterwards.

Wow. I’m usually quite good at spotting this sort of thing but that went by without me even noticing.

I didn’t see it either. But Archie’s right. Misdirection is the key to almost all magic.

The only thing I noticed was the lady’s top changing and that was only because it looked like a Star Trek uniform after the swap. Very good!
