Scientifically-proven methods for improving your magic.

Partnering with Vanishing Inc., scientific researchers Gustav Kuhn and Alice Phailès have created the first-ever book showcasing how to make your magic better with science. The Psychology of Magic: From Lab To Stage is a gorgeous 312-page hardback book containing 4+ years of research conducted in the world's only dedicated "Magic Lab."

This exceptional book is bursting with invaluable information, unlike anything magicians have ever seen before. While there have been books exploring the way psychology and magic work in harmony, none have been researched and written exclusively to serve as a scientific and practical guide for helping magicians apply these concepts to their own work.

There's no guesswork in The Psychology of Magic. These are practical techniques forged from real-life examples that have been specifically designed to help you create and perform better magic.

Despite its academic foundation, you are not buying a textbook filled with meaningless facts. The Psychology of Magic is a captivating guidebook that gives magicians the critical data they need, and then shows them exactly how to start applying it to their own magic right away.

Once you start reading, you won't be able to put it down. Each chapter is laid out in a clear, easy-to-digest format. The book itself is also stunning and continues Vanishing Inc.'s legacy as the gold standard among magic book publishers.

Some of the many ways you'll learn how to make stronger magic include:

Exploiting your audience's blindspots

Using psychology to improve forcing

How visual illusions trick the brain

Getting more impact out of the magic you already perform

If you're a magician looking to improve the magic you're already doing, then you need to grab yourself a copy of *The Psychology of Magic: From Lab to Stage* today.

(This review is for The Psychology of Magic: From Lab to Stage by Gustav Kuhn and Alice Pailhes - Book)

Just finished reading this book. No tricks. Just a lot of good, interesting information about "The Psychology of Magic" and what spectators and magicians think about different psychological aspects of magic.
I am an amateur, but have been doing magic for quite a while, mainly for family and friends.
From beginner to professional, I think that every level of magician would gain some interesting insights into magic from this book. It is 6x9, very nicely bound, kind of like a textbook. It is well written and easy to read. The ideas that the authors discuss are based on their own scientific experiments/research as well as others, and there is a very good list of many references to their material.
The authors spend quite a bit of time discussing different types of forces and how spectators respond to these.
It's my opinion that this book, along with Joshua Jay's "How Magicians Think" would be very beneficial for every level of magician to have in their library, especially if you're interested in how and why people respond to magic the way they do. The authors are always on the lookout for magicians willing to help and participate in their research.
