The Science of Magic - by Dr Gustav Kuhn from Psychology

Gustav will be talking about why magic works. For centuries conjurors have created illusions of the impossible by distorting your perception and thoughts. His talk will explore some of the principles used by magicians by misdirecting and manipulating your attention and thereby preventing you from noticing things that might be in front of your eyes.

Staff and students welcome. Free but a donation of £1 appreciated
