MAGIC IN THEORY

Order 571806...$17.95
Magic, properly performed, is a complex and skilful art, and is capable of deceiving anyone, but magicians are understandably reluctant to expose conjuring methods. Magic is a secretive business. However, there is more to magic than the specific secret that lies behind the specific trick. Psychology is central to the art of deception, and magicians recognise that an understanding of the psychology of magic is an important part of being an effective magician. Psychologists have studied magic for over a century, and parapsychologists are aware that conjuring techniques have been used to fabricate paranormal phenomena. This is the first book to present the theoretical and psychological elements of magic in a way that is accessible to a non-technical readership. It will provide magicians with a better understanding of the part psychology can play in developing their skills. It will also help parapsychologists investigating the claims of psychics to be more aware of the danger of being deceived by magic skills combined with an acute understanding of psychology. 175 pages, paperbound, 2005.
