Human Hacking - Neuroscience and Magic: Stuart Palm at TEDxHKUST

Stuart Palm's first interaction with magic was watching his uncle making coins and cookies disappear and amazingly pulling them out of Stuart's ear. Baffled, yet determined to learn his uncle's secret, the three year old Stuart began asking for everyone's pennies and then making them vanish. It wasn't until his grandmother decided to change his diaper that she found it full of copper coins.

Today, he is a professional entertainer who performs astonishing mentalism for high-end corporate and private clients. In 2006, due to a series of Grand Mal seizures, Stuart had to undergo brain surgery. While in recovery, he realized that not only did he emerge with all his learned abilities intact, but the experience had increased his capacity to understand the human condition, to connect with people's memories and thoughts. He is now also a sought-after lecturer on the connection between magic and neuroscience. Stuart has performed for JP Morgan, Standard Chartered, VH1, the Marriot and the Ritz Carlton hotels, and many more big wigs. His insights help these companies to better understand and improve client relationships.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
