How to Transform a Tea Towel into a Chicken with Prof Richard Wiseman

This page is for information only, to confirm your attendance please book your tickets through our box office.

Join Prof Richard Wiseman as he takes a deep dive into the secret world of magic and illusion. Witness some of the world’s great optical illusions, explore the secret psychology of magic, discover what happens when you put the paranormal to the test, find out why learning to perform the impossible is good for you, discover how to transform a tea towel into a chicken, and much more. An informative and (hopefully) entertaining romp through a lifetime of academic adventure.

Richard Wiseman holds Britain’s only Professorship in the Public Understanding of Psychology at the University of Hertfordshire, and has published over 100 academic papers examining the psychology of magic and illusion, deception, luck and self-development. He has written several popular psychology books (including The Luck Factor and 59 Seconds) that have been published around the world and regularly gives keynote talks to a wide range of organisations.
