Alice Pailhès: The Psychology of Magic and Decision-Making [Members Only]

Psychological scientist and author Dr. Alice Pailhès has pioneered the scientific research on magicians’ mind control tricks, called forcing techniques. But these mind control tricks don’t just exist in the world of magic – they’re part of your everyday decision-making process. In this exclusive episode available only to Farnam Street members, Dr.  Pailhès and Shane go in-depth on the concepts behind forcing techniques, how they work in the world of magic, and what we can learn about the invisible forces that influence how we make decisions.
