MEMORY HACKING!

Today I'm taking a look in to memory hacking and how magicians use these techniques to implant false memories and erase memories from a spectators mind! Lots of interesting studies have been done on memory hacking but it's also something we've been doing all along.. Check out some performances and listen to how differently the spectator remembers the effect!

So many messages about FilmTheory putting out a similar video yesterday. I actually shot this two days ago and uploaded yesterday to my channel. It got demonetize and so I re-uploaded it today. Go check out my Twitter! Crazy coincidence!

Scientists: "Mouse, do you remember anything at all?"

Mouse: *silence*

Scientists: "My God. What have we done?"

[ChrisRamsay]

Tell me your stories of false memories! What did they say that wasn't true?

I performed the teleporting cards that Blaine performed on the Jimmy Fallon show. There is a moment when additional 7 cards are loaded during the second face of the trick, making the total cards 20, but spectators still think that their number stays the same (13). A spectator of mine actually grabbed the cards and started counting them right after I loaded them. He counted until 8 or 9 before I directed his attention to something else. After the trick, he insisted that he counted the whole pack and there were only 13 cards! Didn't know how it turned out to be 20. The trick went better than expected.
Human mind is truly beautiful.

It's honestly beautiful how you talk about this. I love how you really let your passion for this art shine through.

Chris I’ve been watching you for quite some time and I love the videos where you discuss the theory and psychology behind magic. I find these videos to really entertaining and informative. I’d love to see more of them. So keep up the good work dude!

[blueburger]

That's why I've said to my friends for years that a lot of magic tricks are basically jumpcuts irl.

[oscarespinoza]

This is why I love the channel. It's not a " look how the trick is done" but the behind the curtain on WHY the magic becomes real. Such a diffent look on how magic works. Thanks

[AMillionCardTricks]

HOLY WOW the bonus trick though, name for it??

[cronos]

I love it when you delve into the intellectual intricacies of how magic works and the psychology behind it. In my opini9n, it helps us all be better magicians. Thank you for what you do.

I enjoy very much hearing Ramsay's views and many other magicians views on magic and how they think and process it. The key in this video is his "emphasis on emphasis". Giving Unimportant moments more emphasis than the Important moments. Wildly thought provoking.

[efenili]

I certainly was aware of the whole "if they say its important its not and if its not important it is" thing but never to the level of using the brains natural functions against it. That was incredibly fascinating and educational ... awesome!

[amoghgoel]

Would love More videos on engineering tricks and Dude teach the one at the end!! Pls!

[STEPHENHAMMER]

Its like when doing most card tricks, "the cards have been in your hands the whole time, right?" "RIGHT!" lol

[MaxDiamond]

Super interesting concept here Chris. Love this type of thinking and new ideas

[herrnefp]

I think this is the absolute best piece of advice i've gotten to actually execute a magic trick

[liamcourt]

Chris face at 8:22 is f****ing hilarious
"no i checked for wires"

What I have an idea about his bonus trick: He shuffled his own deck of card himself, so he knows where are all the position of each cards in his deck which he later exchanged it with the other man. When they split the cards. It doesn't really matter for him when he split the deck (look at his eyes 12:22 ) but he observes carefully when the man split the cards (look at his eyes 12:24) Now either he by hearted all the cards arrangement or made a small hint mark on some cards. Hence he came to know what is the top card. So when they took out their cards from pocket, he actually took out the other card from his pocket(arranged systematically) similar to that man's card. Since it requires memory to learn all the cards position, he might get wrong, that is why he told that 'maybe this trick won't work'
This is what I think! Am I right? Pls reply.. Chris

I'm actually doing a TED talk presentation for a project in my psychology class and this gave me something more to add to that!! Love your work man! :)

[ghost_cipher]

This is a SICK video!! It has the look and feel of a traditional Chris Ramsay tutorial!!
