"If you can control someone's attention, what would you do with it?"
Good Morning Folks,
We all enjoyed watching those magic acts last summer on America's Got Talent, right? But the show always leaves you wondering, "how does he do that?"
On today's TEDTuesday, we'll find out.
Do you think it's possible to control someone's attention? Even more than that, what about predicting human behavior?
Hailed as the greatest pickpocket in the world, Apollo Robbins studies the quirks of human behavior as he steals your watch. In a hilarious demonstration, Robbins samples the buffet of the TEDGlobal 2013 audience, showing how the flaws in our perception make it possible to swipe a wallet and leave it on its owner’s shoulder while they remain clueless.
Have a look. 10 million other have before you.
As Apollo says, "Attention is a powerful thing. Like I said, it shapes your reality. So, I guess I'd like to pose that question to you. If you could control somebody's attention, what would you do with it?"
Thanks to you for listening.
Have a GREAT Day,
Mitchell D. Weiner
