842: Richard Wiseman - Tea Time with the Professor

The Magic Word Podcast

Dr. Richard Wiseman is a professor of public understanding in Psychology at the University of Hertfordshire in the U.K. He is the author of several books, many of which magicians might (or should) be familiar with including “The Luck Factor” and”Quirkology” or “Paranormality: Why We See What Isn’t There” among many others. Perhaps you have seen one of his many YouTube videos that have over 800MM views! He also hosts a podcast, “Richard Wiseman: On Your Mind” (which I highly recommend). You may have seen him at MAGIC Live! in Las Vegas as he has presented there twice.

In this week’s episode, Richard talks about many of his studies and how he became a YouTube phenomenon. We also discuss seances, his consulting with Andy Nyman on seances, his “failure” at busking at Covent Gardens in London, his new show on Paul Curry that will debut at this year’s Fringe Festival in Edinburgh. He also talks about his new book “Magic Your Mind Happy” which is being offered this week as a prize in our contest.
