Abstract

In this work, I structure the magical knowledge around the neuroscientific literature. For that, I present a theoretical neuropsychological model to illustrate how magic tricks can interfere with different processes of the information flow. This model combines different memory stages, the perceptual pathway, the emergence of attention and the consciousness threshold to provide a holistic picture of how magic functions from the neuroscientific perspective. Following the model, I also present a misdirection definition and classification that is more accurate with the biological reality than the existing ones.
