A group of magicians has launched an investigation to find a woman responsible for a long-standing deception within their community. The search aims to uncover the truth behind a mysterious incident that has puzzled magicians for decades.
A study led by Aberystwyth University's psychology department has found that magicians may be less prone to mental health difficulties compared to other creative individuals and the general population. The research, which measured psychopathological traits of nearly 200 magicians, revealed that magicians scored significantly lower on traits such as hallucinations and cognitive disorganization. The study suggests that the association between creativity and psychopathology is more complex than previously thought, and magicians exhibit lower levels of mental disorders. Magicians' ability to overcome social deficits and their precision in executing tricks may contribute to their balanced mental health profiles.
