MESMERIZED An Immersive Experiment in Science & Magic

The field of experimental psychology arose during a time steeped in wonder and mystery. Spiritualism gained widespread influence, proposing that death was not an end but a transition. Mesmerists claimed to heal all ailments through the laying-on of hands. Early psychologists did not merely react to these remarkable phenomena—they incorporated them into their investigations of the human mind.
In this performance, cognitive scientist & magician Anthony Barnhart, alongside occult aficionado Joe Diamond, explore these mid-19th century curiosities through interactive experiments, psychological illusions, and compelling storytelling.
