About this event

Arts • Other

How do magicians produce solid objects from thin air, make elephants vanish, and defy gravity? Do ghosts exist, are you able to bend metal with the power of your mind and can psychics really predict the future? And do we all have the potential to make the impossible possible?

Join psychologist, best-selling author, and Member of the Inner Magic Circle, Professor Richard Wiseman as he takes us on an entertaining and thought-provoking journey exploring the limits of the human mind and proves that we can all achieve more than we think. Blending science, psychology, and a touch of wonder, Richard will draw on his work as a conjurer, insights from the psychology of deception, and research into humanity’s greatest achievement. He will reveal how learning magic tricks can boost your confidence, social skills, creativity, happiness and much, much more.

Witness the world’s greatest optical illusions, step backstage to explore the science of sorcery, learn simple techniques that demonstrate just how easily our senses can be fooled, and discover how to transform a tea towel into a chicken.
