    1. He does a mind/visual manipulation trick
    2. He is interactive and brings audience members on stage
    3. He uses videos to keep audiences interest
    4. He does multiple on stage tricks with audience members
  6. I think you would need to study psychology extensively and learn how to engineer things that aren’t necessarily tangible. A college degree doesn’t seem to be a requirement

  1. That sounds like a very interesting talk. Good job figuring out how to embed the video in your blog, I'm hoping I have a second to check it out!

    I like how you summarized the talk. Can you explain why you feel the technology area seems most relevant?
