&421/ Watch to Be Inspired: Violate the Common Sense

| View Comments |

In 2004 I used to travel by car with a 1st gen iPod Shuffle connected to the stereo, listening to all those amazing IT Conversations. Times have changed since then.

2008. I use to travel by rail now and in addition end of August saw me receiving a shiny new iPhone 3G here in Switzerland. Avoiding to blend it but watching all those extraordinary TED talks during travel time. As I have not shared a single episode recently, let me catch up!

Citing TED.com:

  • The talk. "Like your uncle at a family party, the rumpled Swedish doctor Lennart Green says, "Pick a card, any card." But what he does with those cards is pure magic -- flabbergasting, lightning-fast, how-does-he-do-it? magic."
  • The speaker. "Swedish card trick maestro Lennart Green has been baffling audiences for years with card tricks that seem barely under control. In 1991 he won the grand prize in close-up card magic from the International Federation of Magic Societies (FISM), sometimes called the "Olympics of magic." He might've won it in 1985 also, except his act of seemingly impossible cardplay fooled even the judges."
