Who is Tilman Andris?

The magician lies – trusting him would be foolish. If we did, we would soon be led down the garden path. But distrust is no remedy for our predicament. Recognising the trickster for what he is, we still fall for his deceit – as long as our distrust does not extend to ourselves and our cognition. Luckily, for the trickster, it seldom does.

Whoever thinks that he knows what he sees and that things are as they seem, should watch a performance by Tilman Andris.
Tilman Andris studied philosophy at the University of Leiden and at the University of Oxford before becoming a professional magician.
