This week: Lawfare Our cover piece examines how Keir Starmer's legal experience will influence his politics. Ross Clark argues that Starmer will govern through the courts, and continue what he describes as the slow movement of power away from elected politicians. As poll after poll predicts an unprecedented Labour majority, what recourse would there be to stop him? Ross joined the podcast to discuss alongside solicitor and commentator Joshua Rozenberg (02:15). Next: we've become accustomed to the police wearing cameras, but what's behind the rise in bodycams in other industries? In her article this week, Panda La Terriere highlights the surprising businesses that have begun using them, but what are the implications for daily life and how concerned should we be? Panda joined us to discuss with Silkie Carlo, director of civil liberties NGO Big Brother Watch (19:39). And finally: why do we love to be baffled? Mark Mason argues it is more to do with the thrill of deception than a desire to problem-solve. Mark joined us to try and demystify the world of magic with Gustav Kuhn, associate professor of psychology at the University of Plymouth and author of Experiencing the impossible: the science of magic (28:32). Hosted by William Moore and Lara Prendergast. Produced by Oscar Edmondson and Patrick Gibbons. Join The Spectator for a special Live edition of Coffee House Shots on Thursday 11th July at 7pm in Westminster. Fraser Nelson, Katy Balls and Kate Andrews will be making sense of the election results, a new government, and discussing what comes next. Tickets are £35, or £25 for subscribers.

Brian Cox and Robin Ince pull scientific explanations out of a hat and go down the rabbit hole to explore the science of magic with comedian Alan Davies, sleight of hand artist Laura London and two experts in the psychology of magic Richard Wiseman and Gustav Kuhn. They ask what our predilection to be bamboozled by sleight of hand can tell us about how our minds work. Alan has a card trick played on him and we learn how our choices aren't always what we think they are. Producer: Melanie Brown Executive Producer: Alexandra Feachem

Gustav Kuhn and Dr Alice Pailhes discuss their new book, The Psychology of Magic From Lab to Stage, and what magicians can learn from studying the psychology of magic in a laboratory setting.

Jemma Davidson, RnIB Customer Voice Insight Coordinator shares the latest opportunities for blind and partially sighted people to get involved in with RNIB Connect Radio's Toby Davey. Opportunities highlighted this week included: Living Well with Sight Loss Parent Pathways Course - New Structure and Sessions Parent Pathways is part of the Children Young Person and Families team's offer for parents and carers of children with vision impairment.  This used to be delivered as a 6-week course but, after feedback the structure has been changed so that parents can now select from a range of options to suit their specific needs: • First Steps covers early support around diagnosis and gives families the chance to meet and share experiences over a two-week period. • Focus on... sessions are one-off, 90 minute presentations on specific topics, such as education, finances and play. All sessions are free to attend, take place online and are facilitated by RNIB Family Support Officers. New dates are now on the RNIB website — any families wanting to book can do so by visiting — https://www.rnib.org.uk/pathways Redesigning the World of Magic: Magic For People With Visual Impairments. For centuries the visual nature of magic performances has limited the participation of individuals with blindness, preventing them from fully experiencing the wonder and joy this art form offers. In the unique situation where magicians encounter someone without sight, they are challenged to reimagine their tricks and find innovative ways to engage the other senses, such as touch, sound, and even smell. At the MAGIC Lab with Dr. Gustav Kuhn, psychology professor at the University of Plymouth and director of research, their mission is to do just that: to level the playing field and create a space where everyone can experience the allure and excitement of magic. They aim to show that the importance of creating magic for individuals with blindness goes beyond the immediate impact on their lives, as it also represents a transformative force that can reshape our world into a more inclusive and compassionate place. This project will empower this community to participate in artistic expression, promoting learning and well-being while challenging societal norms and stereotypes surrounding blindness. To ensure the success of this endeavour, Tyler and Dr Gustav are committed to recruiting volunteers from the blind community with various types of visual impairments and ages. Those interested in participating will take part in a virtual conversation with Tyler and will be asked some thoughtfully crafted questions regarding their experience living with visual impairment and general perceptions and thoughts about magic performances. The discussions should last roughly 45 minutes, and participants need no prior experience with magic! In fact, during or after each call, Tyler will personally teach each volunteer a simple yet powerful trick that they can immediately perform for anyone – anytime, anywhere. If you are interested in their research you can either email gibgot@usc.edu or calling +1 818 416 2467 (as this is a USA phone number call charges will apply).

"As cognitive psychologists we are very much interested in these unconscious processes. Most of the processes that are involved to create your reality you are not consciously aware of. There are more computations that happen in our unconscious minds to allow us to solve a lot of these problems. As within psychoanalysis we are often unaware of a lot of these processes, and as magicians this is very useful because it allows us to manipulate your experiences without you necessarily being aware of this."     Episode Description: Professor Kuhn utilizes his expertise as a cognitive psychologist to deepen our understanding of the psychological processes that operate when we observe magic. We discuss the power and persuasiveness of misdirection and what's called the 'magician's force'. These are both techniques designed to distract for the purpose of disguise. In addition to being used for entertainment, these maneuvers need to be understood as they can be part of legal and political manipulation. Gustav showed me a sleight hand trick and then explained what the trick was. We also discussed how both observing and learning magic has application in settings to improve an individual's sense of wellbeing.    Our Guest: Gustav Kuhn, Ph.D. is a cognitive psychologist with a background as a semi-professional magician. Gustav now directs the MAGIC (Mind Attention and General Illusory Cognition) lab at Goldsmith, University of London, where they use magic to uncover the functioning of the human mind. Gustav is one of the leading researchers in the Science of Magic, and his research team spans a wide range of disciplines. For example, Alice Pailhès is currently studying different types of forcing techniques to learn more about how magicians covertly influence people's choices. Other researchers in his team are using eye-tracking technologies to examine how magicians misdirect their audience's attention. Steve Bagienski is exploring different ways in which magic can be used to enhance people's well-being. This research shows that magic offers a unique tool to enhance different aspects of our mental health and wellbeing.  Gustav has published more than 80 scientific papers and his work often appears on Radio, TV, and the press, and he has also written a book on the psychology of magic, entitled Experiencing The Impossible. Gustav is a member of the Magic Circle and the President of the Science of Magic Association.

This week, we ask, What's magic? What's the connection between magic and science? Who are today's magicians?

The Wounded Healer, also known as Dr Ahmed Hankir, Academic Clinical Fellow in Psychiatry at Kings College London, tours the world talking about his experience of mental ill health and attacking stigma. But how does his lived experience impact his clinical practice? Joining Claudia and Ahmed in the studio to discuss the issues is Dr Sri Kalidindi,, consultant rehabilitation psychiatrist at the South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust. While traditionally magicians have been men, there are more and more successful women entering the male dominated industry. But do they have to work harder to impress? Gustav Kuhn from Goldsmiths University of London and colleagues carried out a study revealing a very strong gender bias but this was erased comparatively simply by asking people to work out how the magic tricks worked. Technology companies are developing artificial intelligence that can detect your mood. They are doing this by reading facial expressions but is this too simplistic an approach? Lisa Feldman Barrett at North Eastern University in the US questions whether the psychological research is being interpreted in the right way. Gary McKeown, a psychologist from Queens University Belfast, joins the discussion. Studio guest is Professor Catherine Loveday from the University of Westminster.

Today it’s great to have Gustav Kuhn on the show. Born in Switzerland,  Kuhn discovered his passion for magic at the age of 13, and much of his teenage years were dedicated to the art of illusion and deception.  At the age of 19 he moved to London to follow his dream of becoming a professional magician, but his career took a dramatic change after he discovered a keen interest for psychology. Gustav went on to study psychology at Sussex University, and towards the end of his PhD, he noticed a direct link between magic and psychology. His unique background in science and magic allowed him to build bridges between these two domains, which helped him establish a science of magic. Kuhn is now a Reader at Goldsmiths University of London, and director of the MAGIC-Lab (Mind Attention & General Illusory Cognition).  He is one of the pioneering researchers in the Science of Magic and he is one of the founding members and president of the Science of Magic Association. His latest book is called “Experiencing the Impossible: The Science of Magic”. What is the link between psychology and magic? The link between perception and magic What is magic? What is not magic? The link between magic and well-being Early childhood experiences of magicians The link between magic and creativity The role of misdirection in magic The neural basis of magic Do we all experience the same magic? The “magician’s force” The potential for using magic for bad ends Will magicians ever become obsolete in the age of machines? The link between magic and human-machine interaction How we can use science to enhance the magic endeavor

What do we see when we watch a magician pull a rabbit out of a hat or read a person's mind? We are captivated by an illusion; we applaud the fact that we have been fooled. Why do we enjoy experiencing what seems clearly impossible, or at least beyond our powers of explanation? In this talk Dr Gustav Kuhn examines the psychological processes that underpin our experience of magic.

Welcome to this week's episode of The Insider. This week we interview magician, academic and author of Experiencing the Impossible: The Science of Magic. Despite Steinmeyer saying we're guarding an empty safe, some magicians feel that the book is an outrage because some very basic and widely known magic principles (ie, misdirection) are discussed in the book and his wider work in science. We hear from the horse's mouth what his views on this are. It's an interesting chat.

Matthew Sweet talks Spaghetti Westerns and Sergio Leone with Christopher Frayling and Samira Ahmed. They also look at the film worlds of Stanley Kubrick as an exhibition runs at London's Design Museum. Plus magic, mind games and the role of the magician's assistant. New Generation Thinker Naomi Paxton and Gustav Kuhn from Goldsmiths, University of London bring their conjuring tricks into the studio. You can hear Christopher Frayling with Brian Cox and the actors Keir Dullea and Gary Lockwood discussing Kubrick's 2001 here https://bbc.in/2H8q76p Stanley Kubrick: The Exhibition runs to 15th September 2019 at the Design Museum in London. Smoke and Mirrors: The Psychology of Magic runs at the Wellcome Collection in London until 15th September 2019 including performances of magic by Dr Gustav Kuhn and a Friday Late on May 10th. Experiencing the Impossible by Gustav Kuhn is published by MIT Press.

Abracadbra! Prestidigitation! We know that these words hold no intrinsic power, but when we hear them, we are instantly transported away to a land of magic and wonder; where the impossible becomes reality right before our eyes.So why, as rational human beings, are we instantly drawn to magic, and what makes us delight in seeing a rabbit pulled from a hat, despite knowing full well that we are being fooled into thinking it was never already there in the first place?Those are the sort of questions expert in cognitive psychology, magician, and author of Experiencing the Impossible: The Science of Magic (£20.00, MIT Press), Gustav Kuhn, is currently trying to solve at his Magic Lab at Goldsmith’s University.In this week’s Science Focus Podcast, he talks to sciencefocus.com editor Alexander McNamara about why we believe in magic, what actually happens in our brain when we watch tricks, and how understanding magic can help us make sense of a world filled with fake news and misinformation.Image © Getty Images See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Who's pulling your strings - from advertisers and peer pressure to political campaigns and self-deception - hidden persuaders are everywhere. Journalist Poppy Noor, historian Sarah Marks, psychologist and magician, Gustav Kuhn, the philosopher, Quassim Cassam and Robert Colvile from the Centre for Policy Studies join Matthew Sweet to track them down. We're all confident that we know our own minds -- but do we? And if we don't, why not? Producer: Zahid Warley Quassim Cassam is professor of philosophy at Warwick University. He is the author of Self Knowledge for Humans and his new book, Vices of the Mind will be published next year. Gustav Kuhn teaches psychology at Goldsmiths College, University of London. His book Experiencing the Impossible : The Science of Magic will be published next year. Sarah Marks is a post-doctoral researcher at Birkbeck College in London where she is one of the team involved in the Hidden Persuaders project. Poppy Noor is a journalist and contributes to The Guardian newspaper. Robert Colvile is the director of the Centre for Policy Studies.

Seine persönliche Meinung sei zwar sehr präzise, könne aber nichts zur derzeitigen Diskussion beitragen, so Andreas Leisner im Interview. Seit über einem Jahrzehnt lang ist er bereits Stellvertreter von Gustav Kuhn und hat nach dessen Rückzug nun auch die künstlerische Leitung der Tiroler Festspiele Erl interimistisch übernommen.

Lange galt diese düstere Oper als verschollen und entpuppte sich als eher untypisch für Rossini. Nun wurden die Tiroler Festspiele Erl 2018 mit "Ermione" eröffnet. Unter Leitung des umstrittenen Gustav Kuhn gelang eine Aufführung, die künstlerisch auf hohem Niveau war, aber szenisch nicht überzeugen konnte. Proteste gab es keine - ein Kollegengespräch mit Jörn Florian Fuchs.

Das Traditionsfestival und sein Leiter Gustav Kuhn werden mit Vorwürfen von Ausbeutung, Machtmissbrauch und sexuellen Übergriffen konfrontiert. Musikjournalist Jörn Florian Fuchs besucht Erl seit Langem und gibt im Gespräch Einblicke in die aktuelle Lage.
