Overview

The Psychology of a Magician (Aberdeen Science Festival)

Presented by Dr Matt Pritchard, Science Magic Shows. Magicians use their understanding of the human mind and senses to create their illusions. In this interactive and demonstration packed talk you’ll learn some of the deep secrets behind the deceptions. You’ll also discover how psychologists use magic in their research and how this knowledge is deployed practically. For example, child development, car safety, and shopping choices can all be better understood (and manipulated?) by magical influences.
