Abstract
What do cognitive illusions reveal about the psychology of the human mind? In this book Gustav Kuhn explores the psychological processes and cognitive road blocks that contribute to the wonderment and entertainment value of magic, which is a subjective experience that happens in the mind of the spectator. So why is the mind tricked by magic effects? This is the question that Kuhn explores and illuminates in this spellbinding book Experiencing the Impossible.
