King Mac

On Sunday Morning, CBS, Sunday, magician Mac King was featured with Penn & Teller and their study on perception with autistic individuals. The hypothesis of the researchers is that children with autism might not be duped by magic because their brains do not perceive the tricks of everyday life. It made me recall when Mac King visited the Brown School, his alma mater, while I was teaching there and that is why I post his quirky entertainment today. Long live the odd, bizarre way our minds work and let his magic continue as a reminder that a peculiar mind has a place in the world.
