from Ratio Podcast · host Ratio Podcast

В новия епизод на Ratio Talks Петко разговаря с Пол Зенон - един от най-известните британски илюзионисти за изкуството на илюзията, за скептицизма и за връзката и границите на рационалното и магическото. Ще чуете още: - За пътя му от уличен илюзионист до професионален скептик - Как изкуството на илюзията възпитава усет към измамата и псевдонаучното Пол Зенон е английски сценичен и телевизионен маг, комик, водещ и писател. Той е автор на три книги за магия, облози и практически шеги, както и експерт по историята на магията, илюзионистите, вариететните изкуства и необичайните забавления. Пол започва да изкарва парите си като уличен илюзионист и научава как хората могат да бъдат залъгвани и манипулирани. После прилага своите практически знания за човешката психология и внимание за добри каузи – като разобличаването на псевдонаучни “звезди”. Сред книгите му са 100 Ways to Win a Tenner, Street Magic и Paul Zenon’s Dirty Tricks, които разкриват света на триковете, измамите и магическите илюзии.
