My presentation at the Illusion of the Year contest

Dan Simons presenting the Monkey Business Illusion

Posted May 13, 2010

On Monday (May 10) I presented my "Monkey Business Illusion" at the Illusion of the year contest. I posted about it here on Tuesday. I've just finished editing together some video we shot of my presentation and uploaded it to YouTube. The contest was a blast -- I hope you enjoy this unofficial footage. You'll see that I gave the presentation while wearing a gorilla suit (I wore a tie for added formality).
