Here’s the big secret magicians having been keeping under their (top) hats: We don’t fool you, you fool yourself.

​Or, to be more accurate, your brain fools you.

Deceptology isn’t just a magic show; it is an introduction to the extraordinary psychological and neuroscientific principles that make illusions possible.

Your students will have their brains hacked by change blindness, gestalt pattern perception, the motion aftereffect, faulty memory and other principles ripped straight from the psychology classroom.

Created in cooperation with psychologists and neuroscientists from around the world, Deceptology is part magic show, part exposé and part psychology lesson.

The perfect introduction to psychology and neuroscience for secondary students.
