Can We Hear Magic? The Struggle to Create Auditory Illusions

[Analogous]

A new study explores why magic tricks based solely on sound are rare, despite the many auditory illusions we encounter in everyday life. Researchers suggest that the difficulty lies in how the brain processes visual versus auditory information, with vision being more trusted.

They also note that visual perception captures the current state of the world, while sound provides transient information about past events. This difference may make it harder to create magical experiences through sound alone.

Music is the biggest magic we hear!

In my observation, stereo was the biggest wow moment for me.
Way back in 90s, we got personal/portable walkman with stereo earphones - and listening to Stereo FM was simply wow especially since we were coming from Monophonic systems (source as well as reproduction).

The same wow I got last year when I installed ambiophonics on my miniDSP! True 180 degree stereo.
