Belief. Dis­be­lief. What’s real. Why? Simon Tay­lor explains the psy­chol­ogy of illusion.


Why you should lis­ten to him

Simon Tay­lor is an award win­ning illu­sion­ist. He is known for defin­ing the dif­fer­ence between sleight of hand and sleight of mind magic. Through stud­ies in psy­chol­ogy and expe­ri­ence in the per­form­ing arts he is able to blend a range of skills into an unfor­get­table pre­sen­ta­tion of illusion.

Based in Mel­bourne, Simon has con­tin­ued to pro­duce sold out stage shows. He is reg­u­larly sought after by sci­ence groups and aca­d­e­mics for his under­stand­ing of human behav­iour and insight into the con­struc­tion of illusion.

It’s enter­tain­ment for the mind, about the mind.
