Could it be magic?
Brian Cox and Robin Ince explore the science of magic with comedian Alan Davies alongside 3 members of the magic circle: Richard Wiseman, Laura London and Gustav Kuhn.
Brian Cox and Robin Ince pull scientific explanations out of a hat and go down the rabbit hole to explore the science of magic with comedian Alan Davies, sleight of hand artist Laura London and two experts in the psychology of magic Richard Wiseman and Gustav Kuhn. They ask what our predilection to be bamboozled by sleight of hand can tell us about how our minds work. Alan has a card trick played on him and we learn how our choices aren鈥檛 always what we think they are.
