"Psychology of Card Magic" show

 

Magicians are often able to deceive people by exploiting human psychology through memory fallibility, attention misdirection, audience expectations, and more.

 

As a (very) amateur magician who knows some things about psychology, I occasionally present a "Psychology of Card Magic" show where I perform card tricks and, afterward, let the audience in on some of the psychology secrets that enable magicians to do what they do.
