Magic & Science

Can you trust your senses? Our brain constantly fills in gaps, skips details, and is deceived far more easily than we imagine.

In this lecture, British atomic physicist and award-winning magician Dr. Matt Pritchard explores perception and illusions. Through optical illusions, demonstrations, and experiments, he shows how our attention can be directed, memories can be influenced, and information can be hidden in plain sight. The lecture draws on psychology, neuroscience, and behavioral science, combined with professional magic.

You don't need an interest in magic or science to follow along - the lecture is for anyone curious about human decision-making and the ways our senses can deceive us.

The event is held in English and is part of the ILLUSIONS festival, which takes place in Horsens during week 42.
