Marco Tempest: The magic of truth and lies (and iPods)
In his presentation about deception, Marco Tempest uses the trickery of magic to discuss lies in common life, art, and music. Most of this doesn't focus on him speaking, but rather on the presentation of iPod screens to depict what he discusses. It seems as if he is casually discussing this with the audience, as he is easily relatable with lies like "I'm stuck in traffic, sorry." Utilizing a variety of examples from everyday white lies to war strategies to display the ubiquity of lies today, the iPod presentation kept me interested with still able to absorb the meat of the content. Although I was free to do what I wished, I felt trapped underneath the spell of Tempest's words and illusions.
