    If I had an origin story as a magician/con artist/science communicator it would be me, in the early 2000s, hunching over my computer trying to count how many times a basketball is being thrown while completely missing the full-size gorilla walking right through the middle of the shot.

    The creation of psychologists Christopher Chabris and Daniel Simons, The Invisible Gorilla video went viral and the research paper become infamous, winning the pair an ig nobel award in 2004.

    Now, Daniel and Christopher are back with a new book Nobody’s Fool an exploration of all the ways human beings are deceived and a few ideas on how to avoid it!

    On this episode of the podcast, we talk about the book, the gorilla, and the best ways to avoid being taken for a ride.
