Who Am I?
My name is Daniel Prado,31, I'm from Brazil, and I'm an Psychological Illusionist.
I study the art of magic since 2005, and I try showing to people, some of my skeptical view of the world, by using magic, psychology, and habilities that I gathered studying human nature.
Some of my heroes are Derren Brown, Michael Shermer, James Randi, Penn and Teller, Paul Ekman and others you'll read in this pages.
This is an English Version of my blog, and because of that, doesn't have all the posts I have in the portuguese version, but I'm working hard to translate the whole content of that.
As Captain Disillusion does, I debunk all kinds of frauds that is possible, and you can freely send me videos, that I will love to debunk for you.
The very first post in English should be the debunking of Federer's Trick Shot. I think that if you wanna do a trick, you should SAY that is a trick, otherwise you are just a lier. I made myself a little research, and it looks like, Federer doesn't say it is true, neither say it's not. So, as the portuguese popular saying, "who doesn't say it, agrees with it".
I hope you like it!
