For example: in our childhood we often learn, develop and grow through punishment. We therefore associate mistakes with punishment. Perhaps stepping into your abilities might mean you make mistakes, so you might not even go there to try. Artemis Dress.

I get super sensitive when I detox my food and environment. I find Theta and energy meditations, where you work on expanding your own energy body, are the most activating. I use meditation. The moment I am centered and tuned in then I can feel my senses much better. Centering could come with meditation, walking in nature, or having a bath and really relaxing and releasing the noise.
To shift awareness from your head to your body, use visualisation. I visualise myself taking a lift from my head going into my heart or my body. Then, ask yourself silly questions, for example: what should I have for lunch?
Trust what the body says. Trust the answer you get. Most of the time we get those answers but we just shift them away and go into rational thinking.

We assume that this drop in NTB scores reflects a psychometric artifact resulting from a repetition bias or response bias, rather than the anomalous event itself.
Previous studies showed that magical ideation was relatively unstable over a 2 years period Meyer and Hautzinger, and that magical ideation was lower in a group that had received the contextual information that the questionnaire associates with psychosis as compared to a group that had received the contextual information that the questionnaire associates with creativity Mohr and Leonards, If one takes the original hypothesis, we can conclude that the contextual framing was a powerful manipulation while the anomalous event demonstration was not.
In comparison to Benassi et al. It is likely that our magic demonstration might have been less striking, and by inference less influential on beliefs and cognitive biases, than the contextual framing manipulation.
For instance, Benassi et al. We, on the other hand, used a simple magic trick that could with some training be performed by novice magicians. Thus, future magic demonstrations should include several tricks and extend the demonstration in duration. Moreover, we tested participants in a classroom subsequent to a psychology lecture on the science of magic. Thus, these students were fully aware that the experimenter Gustav Kuhn has a keen interest and experience in conjuring.
Moreover, as our participants were predominantly female, we cannot guarantee that our results generalize to males. In addition, our participants received the actual contextual framing instructions in written format. We do not know whether they read this instruction properly or not. In Benassi et al. As it is impossible to guarantee that each performance is identical, we favored the model in which all participants are exposed to the same performance, but participants are given different written instructions.
Despite these caveats and methodological differences between studies, we suggest that the overall methodological approach is promising. In particular, despite the simplicity of our magic trick, the classroom setting, having just had a lecture on the science of magic, our participants did not fully dismiss a psychic explanation.
For future studies, we also suggest to consider the context in which an anomalous event is performed. Another concern is the repeated use of the belief questionnaire in short succession.
Ideally, participants would receive different belief questionnaires that are yet comparable in what they measure, or even better, a well-established belief questionnaire would be split into two comparable halves so that the first half could be provided prior to the presentation and the other half subsequent to the presentation. Due to the comparability of the two halves, the change in scores could be assessed directly. Finally, we might find stronger effects for non-student populations as suggested by the findings of Bressan Her findings indicated that links between impaired probability judgments and paranormal beliefs are less pronounced in students than in regular workers of varying education.
We outline another concern not covered extensively so far. The formulation of the contextual framing was matched for the first part of the instruction, but differed later between conditions. The magician aimed to perform the demonstration comparably across the different testing sessions. In our study, we preferred to make sure that each participant saw exactly the same performance so that possible performance differences or audience effects would not differ between the magician and psychic group.
We formulated the instructions such that they would be suggestive but be free of personal opinion. Indeed, in Benassi et al. We do not know to what extent such different formulations add to the observed results by enhancing or attenuating possible effects.
However, the careful matching of verbal instruction is advisable. The present study investigated whether the exposure to an anomalous event would result in a change in NTB and associated cognitive biases. We conclude that such findings are key to showing that magical beliefs and associated cognitive biases are flexible, not necessarily trait-like, and that this flexibility is possible well into adulthood. We discuss the necessity to further evaluate which types of demonstrations are powerful to lead to belief change if not belief formation.
In any case, the current paradigm is promising in showing causal rather than correlational factors in belief change, belief formation and the role of associated cognitive biases in these processes. The authors declare that the research was conducted in the absence of any commercial or financial relationships that could be construed as a potential conflict of interest.
