Magical Thinking:
How we think ourselves into believing almost anything
Do you run your own brain? Believe you have free will? In this fascinating dialogue, mentalist Joshua Kane will demonstrate and invite participants to explore how perception, deception and desire interact with the ways in which we are wired, to create our various realities. Subjects may include body language, language patterns, lie detection, and brain games.
This highly interactive and often provocative event draws upon Kane’s lifelong fascination with neuroscience, linguistics, kinesiology, and psychology, which has had profound influence not only on his performances but also on his everyday interactions and observations.
“In addition to [Borders of the Mind], Joshua Kane presented a workshop entitled Magical Thinking: How we think ourselves into believing almost anything that was so interesting it actually made the students put down their electronic devices!… Kane’s insights into human behavior and how an individual’s surroundings and upbringing affect their every nuance was eye-opening and informative for students and faculty of acting and psychology alike. Everyone would benefit from the life lessons he has so succinctly translated.” —Arlene Cisar-Shaw, Olin Fine Arts Center, Washington & Jefferson College, Washington, PA
