Who is looking forward to the #SoMA22 Gala Show? Tickets are still available, and the public is welcome! somagala2022.bpt.me
My article on magicians’ Too Perfect Theory has been published today in @PeerJLife! 🪄 Can a trick be too perfect to be good? Do people really find out the secret method when there’s no flaw? Find out here: peerj.com/articles/13449 #Neuroscience #Psychology #magictrick #magic
Have you heard? After a 3-year hiatus, the SoMA Conference resumes this summer in London! Registration is now open at scienceofmagicassoc.org/2022tickets. Watch this space for exciting announcements about our speakers and the gala show. #SoMA2022
(Slightly belated) Happy New Year from SoMA! bit.ly/3fSEniG
Study by @AlicePailhes et al finds that naturally embedding primes within a person’s speech and gestures effectively influences people’s decision making, and illustrates that people often do not know the real reason for their choice: buff.ly/3o8a8rs
In both cases, people didn't know they were being influenced. Magic paper: pnas.org/content/pnas/1… Entrepreneurship paper: research.manchester.ac.uk/portal/files/7…
Don't miss tomorrow's (Sunday) SoMA Conversation on Science, Magic, & Society. Jay Olson will moderate discussion by Brian Brushwood (@shwood), Koen Peeters Grietens (@SEHR_ITM), Patricia Kingori, & Simon Henderson on 'Deception Offstage.' Register at: forms.gle/GEotg5f1i8UNqm…
Revealed: the magical secrets to tricking your free will | gold.ac.uk/news/magicians…
The tricks and tools used by magicians to influence their audiences are the same as those we encounter as we make key decisions in everyday life, such as what to buy or who to vote for. New research by @AlicePailhes @GustavKuhn @GoldsmithsPsych gold.ac.uk/news/magicians…
“Many of the psychological principles that underpin magicians’ forces can be applied to domains outside the magic performance.” @TrendsCognSci @CellPressNews @AlicePailhes @GustavKuhn authors.elsevier.com/a/1ceDP4sIRvHk…
"Magicians are not alone in using such techniques and we believe that magicians’ forcing techniques provide a valuable tool to raise awareness about the ease by which our choices can be manipulated." cell.com/trends/cogniti…
Our new paper reviewing the research on magicians’ mind control tricks has just been published in Trends in Cognitive Sciences! @CellPressNews @TrendsCognSci @GustavKuhn authors.elsevier.com/a/1ceDP4sIRvHk…
2/2 We argue that although magicians frequently mislead the public about the psychological principles they use to manipulate what we perceive, there is great value in studying conjuring principles scientifically.
Fun exchange in @PNASNews: 1. A paper (pnas.org/content/117/30…) imports a @DerrenBrown magic trick into the lab: Ask subjects to name a card; describe card as "bright & vivid"; make a diamond with your hands; gesture at 3 spots for suits; subjects more likely to name 3 of ♦️s.
It’s time to start respecting magicians, apparently.
🪄You can unconsciously influence peoples’s choices; Primed by a magician with hand motions (making a diamond shape) & words (“boom boom boom”), people selected the card the magician primed them for (3♦️) far more than chance & didn’t know why they did! pnas.org/content/pnas/1…
What do magicians know about the sense of agency that cognitive scientists don't? Looking forward to this week's @GoldsmithsPsych seminar from @AlicePailhes, on how magicians manipulate feelings of volition and agency. Thurs 11th Feb, 4pm. Email me if you'd like the link.
Our Reply to Cole has been published online in #PNAS : Do magicians mislead science ? pnas.org/content/118/3/… @PNASNews @GustavKuhn @labofmagic
Our latest paper in #JEPGeneral on the Equivoque force examines how people fail to notice inconsistencies and experience illusory sense of agency over action outcomes ! psycnet.apa.org/record/2020-87…
Want to know a magic trick that can help you make better decisions? 🐇 ✨🎩 Voila! The TED Talk by @AlicePailhes inside our article teaches us a secret brain hack that will help you to make choices that are, in fact, truly yours! #choices #impulses buff.ly/36oFG4W
So excited to announce that our taxonomy of forcing techniques has just been published! I hope this will facilitate knowledge transfer between magicians and psychologists 🎩👩🏻🔬 Looking forward to having some feedback on this one! sciencedirect.com/science/authSh…
