There are many presentations of TED videos and not all interest us alike. Many of them, because moving away from our subject and others simply for its lack of interest. The video has trapped us today from start to finish, his six long minutes worth. There are many negative news, for this reason if you recoup some of our human condition through the illusion and technology, this video makes it worth the six minutes devoted to his vision. Congratulations to one of the best magicians of the moment!

MARCO TEMPEST
Marco Tempest’s imaginative combination of computer-generated imagery, quick-cut video and enthusiastic stage presence has earned him a place in the pantheon of great illusionists. At 22, the Swiss magician won the New York World Cup of Magic, launching him into international prominence. Tempest's award-winning television series “The Virtual Magician” airs in dozens of countries worldwide, while his lively phonecam postings on YouTube, done without post-production and video-editing tricks to astonished people on the street, get millions of views (search on "virtualmagician"). His Vimeo channel showcases his artistic side -- like his recent hypnotic series "levitation," using a high-speed camera.
Through his art, Tempest creates a highly entertaining way to be entranced by the reality-bending tech magic that surrounds us all every day. Watch more Marco magic courtesy Scobleizer ... or see Marco profiled on CNN.com's Next List >>
