Can one accurately and consistently predict the future? If you are a sensible person your answer would likely be "No".
In the end, some things are physically impossible, right? I am sorry, but if this is your answer you are wrong! You may think I'm joking, but I'm dead serious. Didn't you ever have
a dream that became true afterwards, or haven't you ever thought about someone you hadn't seen for a long while only to meet this person again the next day at the supermarket? These "intuitions" are usually uncontrolled. Can we use the same mechanism in a controlled manner? And, if so, can we profit from that? The answer is yes. Let me show you how to do it. Mariano Mendez is a Professor of High Energy Astrophysics at the University of Groningen. He has published more than 300 scientific papers in prestigious international journals, and has given a large number of scientific and popular talks all over the world. Prof. Mendez is an amateur magician, and he uses magic (and psychological) tricks to improve the quality of his lectures. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
