If you’ve seen Marco Tempest’s illusionary magic before, you know that his magic isn’t anything like your grandfather’s card tricks– or even anything as grandiose as you’d see on a special with David Copperfield or David Blaine. Tempest’s unique combination of illusion and technology isn’t just a demonstration of sleight-of-hand, it’s also a technique he uses to help us learn about ourselves.
Earlier this year we wrote on how Tempest augments reality. In the following video from The RSA, he performed a demonstration titled “Inventing the Impossible” where he talked about technology as the magic of tomorrow and it will continue to impact our world.
