so this is a trick that i often teach to young children that are interested in magic because you can learn a great deal about deception by studying this very even though it 's a very simple trick methodologically probably many of you in the room know this trick what happens is this i hold the knife in my hand

Kindly jot down the speech.
turns out that if you administer a placebo in the form of a white pill that 's like aspirin shaped it 's just a round white pill it has some certain measurable effect but if you change the form that you give the placebo in like you make a smaller pill and color it blue and stamp a letter into it it is actually measurably more effective
