I met Emily Balcetis many years ago at the Tribeca Ball, in New York City. She was a guest of the organizer and I performed bit close up magic for her and we got to talking.

One thing led to another — as things often do — and she invited me to visit her class and talk about Visual Perception in Magic with her students at NYU’s Psychology Department. We did this a handful of times over the course of a few years and it was a great learning experience for me.

Here she is speaking at TED:

Anyway, Penguin Random House is publishing Emily’s book and I’m thrilled to have a couple of pages all to myself!

You can pre-order it here.

Thanks, Emily! It’s an honor.

And congratulations on your success!
