This is the craziest thing I’ve seen in a long time.
It won’t work very well on a mobile device (e.g. iPhone, Blackberry, Android), so you’ll need to look at this on your computer monitor.. You also have to get out of your seat and walk away to get the full effect. People may wonder what the heck you’re doing – but it’s well worth it.
When you look at this picture you see Albert Einstein…but if you stand 15 feet away it becomes Marilyn Monroe.

Many years ago it became apparent to me that magic is arguably the most powerful visual medium in the world. People always remember what they see, especially when it’s highly captivating and unusual. So what’s this got to do with the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders – keep reading…

Today I did strolling magic at a party for about 1,200 conventioneers. That was followed by
