Join Alice Pailhès, a researcher at Goldsmiths University’s MAGIC lab, for a demonstration of the psychology of forcing. This technique is used by magicians to covertly influence a person’s thoughts and decisions, and you’ll see how these principles can manipulate our sense of agency and free will.
We’ll be in Gallery 1. When you enter Wellcome Collection, it’s on the left on level 0.
Spaces are limited and we recommend arriving early as these events are particularly likely to be busy. If we’re full, we will ask you to queue to avoid overcrowding. If queuing is not accessible for you, please speak to a member of staff.
