The psychology of magic studies how magic works in the brain.
This site describes research examining the science of magic, focusing specifically on the studies done at the University of British Columbia.
Current research
We recently ran an experiment studying the perception of playing cards. To our knowledge, no other studies have examined this topic. We expect to publish this experiment in 2010.
How can I contribute?
You may contribute in two ways:
- Complete a one-minute playing card survey.
