Everyone is impressed by the technicalities used, and not by the profound message of Deception. Oh dear.......

My daughter loves this guy and his magic.

Funny, the audience is standing because they were entertained, not because the talk was profound. That's the big moving force today - entertainment.

Great video, great message and great illusions. To the unimpressed, consider how this was created: he first devised the script and probably storyboarded all his actions and what was happening on each iPod at the time. He produced three different, largely self-running presentations, timed to the second. He wrote an application to synchronise data streams across all three iPods (mentioned right at the beginning before the presentation 'proper'), and finally rehearsed, rehearsed, rehearsed.
