This may explain why some people are better at reading a market than others.

I watched the entire episodes of Magician's Secret Revealed last November - the idea was to train my brain to learn the tricks of the trade an not rely on the visual illusion.

4 months on and I'm still easily fooled by a pony trick :roll:

BTW, interesting that the magician pointed out that about 150 ms of delay is enough to trick the brain/eye coordination.
