Macknik has completed a triple-majoring of Psychobiology, Biology, and Psychology at the University of California, Santa Cruz in the year 1991. Following that, he received the PhD in Neurobiology at Harvard University in 1996, under the guidance under Professor. Margaret Livingstone. He completed his postdoctoral studies by Nobel Professor. David Hubel at Harvard Medical School from 1996 until 2001.

Macknik and Martinez-Conde are regular contributors in Scientific American: MIND on the neuroscience of perception and the perception of illusions. Their collection of articles was included in two Scientific American special issues, in 2013 and 2010.

Macknik and Martinez-Conde are the pioneers in the study of the techniques used in stage magic in a neuroscience-based viewpoint. They’ve proposed that magicians and neuroscientists have numerous interests that overlap and that both fields should work together for mutual benefit. Macknik along with Martinez-Conde can be both credited with establishing the discipline of Neuromagic as a field of study in science devoted to uncovering the neural mechanisms that underlie the perception of illusions. Martinez-Conde and Macknik invented”Neuromagic” as a term “Neuromagic” in a 2008 Scientific American article. They’ve conducted studies together with some of the world’s most famous magicians, such as Teller of Penn & Teller, Mac King, James Randi, and Apollo Robbins. Macknik and Martinez-Conde’s work on neuromagic is the subject of their award-winning book as well as the world-renowned bestseller Sleights of Mind.
