2. Figure 1 Illustration of misdirection.
(A) A magician performing the “Coin Vanishing Trick”, in which a coin initially held in the right hand is passed to the left and then disappears. The green (red) crosses show the fixations of different subjects that watched a video of the performance and did (did not) recognise how the trick was done. (B) The same trick as (A), but with the magician looking at his hands (instead of looking to the front) at the time the trick was done (second frame from the left). In this case, most subjects recognised how the trick was achieved. (C) A “Card Changing Trick”, in which the magician reinforces the attention and gaze of the subjects to remain at the cards.
