Magic on TED Talks

I have known about TED talks for years now.  Every once in a while a friend posts a video online and I will watch it.  I have probably seen a dozen or so since they first started appearing on youtube.  But this last week I have become enthralled with watching them.  I have probably watched close to thirty in the last week.

In the last year I have started giving public lectures to new teachers attending all of the EPIK orientations.  They are challenging and fun and public speaking is a valuable skill set that I am only just now taking serious and trying to be good/better at.  I have been watching the TED talks both because they cover fascinating issues and also because the presenters are master public speakers, and I like watching how they present their topics and relate to the audience.

I came across a bunch of magic talks and thought I would share them because they are just fun for everyone!  The first three are by Marco Tempest, a magician that specializes in combining magic and technology.  The fourth is a hilarious guy, Lennart Green, who do close-up card tricks.
