    Magicians say toddlers are also good at deciphering their tricks since they haven’t yet learned object permanency.

      Toddlers have object permanence. Object permanence develops at around 4-6 months old. Kids are still infants at that point. Toddlers are generally 1-3 years old.

        I don’t believe in object permanence. I think it’s a hoax just like the moon landing and the time I’ve. If I can’t see something it stops existing. Just like how rocks are actually soft, they just tense up when something touches them.
