Unfortunately I had this one described to me before actually seeing it. Its great fun watching other people fail to see the Gorilla first time. I am reliably told that this was shown in a lecture to ~150 people; Some thought there were 13 passes, others 14. When asked 'did you see anything unusual?" only 1 person rasied their hand. The crowd was stunned when shown the clip a second time.
The phenomenon is called Inattentional Blindness. You can see is and many other examples at http://viscog.beckman.uiuc.edu/djs_lab/demos.html
As a straw poll, how many of you did see the Gorilla first time?FT.Comment

Ahh - that explains it all! So to truly test the theory, you need to ensure the players are not at all attractive to the audience.Originally posted by Paddy [MU]

But, that's probably impossible with someone like Paddy around

I counted 14 passes and saw the gorilla (didn't notice it pull a face though).
A colleague counted 13 passes, but didn't see the gorilla (so what does he know)
