The art of magic often influences other arts and sciences in unpredictable ways. Associate Producer John Sturk speaks with Anthony Barnhart, Professor of Psychological Science from Carthage College, about how magic contributed as a catalyst for modern-day psychology. Professor Barnhart also discusses his Cognitive Science of Magic Course.
