Customer Review

This is an early work of Richard Wiseman.

The course of it is unique professional magician, he studied psychology, is passionate illusion phenomena. Became a doctor of psychology, he conducts research on unexpected topics: lucky (read the fabulous "The Luck Factor"), the funniest story of the world (read the hilarious "Quirkology"), etc. His blog ([...]) is humorous and discoveries.

In "Magic in Theory", it succeeds precisely the feat to explain the psychological mechanisms of illusion ... without revealing any magic trick!

This is naturally a fairly technical book to a very targeted audience: either enthusiasts conjuring (which I'm not) ... or fans Wiseman, I am!
