Mark Mitton

Mark Mitton is a magician who is fascinated by using magic to better understand how we see the world. He performs magic and produces unique entertainment around the world, and explores the limits and potential of perception. Mark’s specialty is physical misdirection, or what some call “embodied cognition”. He regularly presents on ‘Perception & Deception’ at universities and conferences. He studied economics at Haverford College, and then became the apprentice to legendary sleight-of-hand master Slydini. For many years, he discussed and presented with the late Dr. Gerald Edelman on the essence of emergence in natural selective processes such as immune response and communication.
