Brain Twisters, the follow up to the Royal Society Prize Winning ‘EyeBenders’ is now out! Another co-production with author Clive Gifford.

Here’s the blurb: Trick your senses and baffle your brain with this crazy book of mind tricks and neuroscience information. Find out how magicians make use of “inattentional blindness” when doing magic tricks, and why you miss details that are hidden in plain sight. Discover why your memory isn’t as good as you think, and how it’s possible to remember things that never actually happened. This astonishing science book presents a wide range of brain games and mind tricks as well as some lols MMR ideas, and explains how these reveal the working processes of the brain. It will engage and entertain, and leave you wondering: do you really know your own mind?

I really enjoyed working on this book with Clive.  Its more ambitious than EyeBenders – taking on the whole of the brain rather than just optical illusions. But I think the end result works brilliantly – though let’s see what the kids think!
