Bio

Dr. Alice Pailhès is a psychological scientist, speaker, and author exploring the hidden forces that shape our choices, beliefs, and behaviors. By blending the rigor of psychology with the art of illusion, she reveals what our minds often conceal from us and how understanding those blindspots can unlock clarity, change, and awe. She's one of the few researchers in the world to specialize in the psychology of magic — a field that uses magic as a lens to explore how we perceive, decide, remember, believe, and make sense of the world around us.
