Anomalistic Psychology Research Unit Invited Speaker Series, 2012/13
Abstract
Paul Zenon recently had a public run-in with alleged psychic Sally Morgan relating to implications that she may be cheating during her lucrative stage shows. In this talk he takes an irreverent look at contemporary stage psychics and mediums and their historical counterparts and methods. In keeping with the subject matter, this event is described as being ‘for entertainment purposes only’, taking advantage of the legal loophole which allows paranormal practitioners to ply the trade which Harry Houdini described as ‘the filthiest in the world’.
Biography
Paul Zenon has long been one of the UK’s most recognisable magicians, with countless TV shows under his belt and numerous sell-out runs at festivals and appearances at corporate events in around forty countries. He was the UK pioneer of ‘street magic’, and has long been an outspoken critic of proponents of the ‘paranormal’.
