more spectrality


and that would be our campus, looking faintly ghostly, as I make my way back from gabbling briefly about science and entertainment and illusion and deception and spirit photographs and Tyndall's experiment demonstrating why the sky is blue, and suchlike.  The truly impressive part of the evening was the students performing magic card tricks - we're talking performing at the Magic Castle standard card tricks.  I cannot begin to imagine how these particular ones are done, and it makes talking about nineteenth century questioning about whether or not seeing is believing both highly relevant, and highly - well, amateur.
