How to Have More Sex with Richard Wiseman TONIGHT (Friday)!

Posted on : Jan-07-2010 | By : Joshua | In : Blog Post, Event

UPDATE: Booksellers are selling out. We’re not kidding. The Coop, Harvard Books and Porter Square Books are out and I was told it’s been selling very well in recent weeks. So if you don’t have a copy and want to get one signed, try to grab one this evening beforehand at your local shop (you can always grab ‘Quirkology’ or one of his other awesome books if ’59 Seconds’ is sold out). We will have a few copies on-hand to sell, but our supply is very limited.

Yet another reminder that tomorrow today brings our awesome, epic, and epically-awesome Richard Wiseman event at the Brattle Theater! Remember to buy your tickets in advance here, or on the night of the event from their box office at 40 Brattle Street, Harvard Square. The talk begins at 10 pm, so leave the kiddies at home! Also, if you’re on Facebook, RSVP for the event here to give us an idea of the numbers to expect (and join our Facebook group, while you’re at it).

And if you’re aching for something to do before Richard’s talk, drop by the Casablanca restaurant’s bar area, just past the Brattle box office. We’ll be there from 8 pm until the event, so stop by any time for drinks and apps (but save room for some of the Brattle Theater’s delicious Cambridge Brewing Company beer). We have a Facebook event for this, too, so RSVP there as well.

We’ll see y’all tomorrow tonight!

Wiseman was a lot of fun. Thanks for bringing him in.

He was brilliant. Anyone know where to find some of the pics used (like the one of the couple where one detail changes)?

I’m not entirely certain, but the best place to look would be his blog: http://richardwiseman.wordpress.com/

Highly amusing. Many of the psych tricks and illusions I had seen before but he presented them very well. The auditory trick with Oh Four Tuna I had not seen before and found both impressive and amusing.

If you liked the “Oh Four Tuna” video, search for “literal video” on YouTube. Comedy gold. ;)

@Joshua

I took a look on his blog, but either I’m not using the right search terms, or it isn’t on there.
