The Deception of Perception

Bob Friedhoffer
The "Madman of Magic"

Bob Friedhoffer, not only known as the "Madman of Magic," but the
"Scientist's Magician," takes a look at the methods by which malefactors,

practitioners of the occult, and magicians (not necessarily in this
order)
manipulate the perception of the onlooker. The hows and whys of way that
the
"smart ones" are often taken in. A brief discussion on the nature of
perception precedes some entertaining and elucidating demonstrations in
the
"art of the scam" as practiced upon all segments of society. Bring an
open
mind, a willingness to suspend disbelief and a well secured wallet.
