The Brain Bending Science Illusion Show

Sunday 18 October 2026

Join The Magical Mr West and his corvid companion Crowbert on a journey into the brain bending world of science illusions! Prepare to be astounded by cognitive conundrums, mind melting mysteries and spectacular surreal psychology. Alongside impossible optical illusions and baffling tricks you can try at home, discover the devious deceptions and wily wordplay used to sell us ideas. Can you believe your eyes? Can you trust your own brain? Can Crowbert use the tricks he learns to start a new career in advertising? Following the success of “Adventures in Science” The Magical Mr West returns with another spectacular science show for all the family.

The Japanese optical illusion fans return for you to try for free when Pegasus doors are open during September and October; https://if-oxford.com/uchiwa
