“Magic is the engineering of coincidence”

Fireballs. Wands. Turning people into frogs. Everyone knows that wizards like Harry Potter are fictional. But is there real magic in the world? 

* The psychiatrist Carl Jung was obsessed with coincidences that seemed too incredible to be truly coincidental. He was convinced that they revealed a deeper level of reality, and called this revelation ‘synchronicity’. 

* Years of rigorous scientific experiments have shown that people are capable of reading each other’s minds, influencing random number generators, and even seeing into the future.

*  Millions of self-help books are sold every year on the premise that you can change your life by the power of thought.

These forms of magic all have something in common: no-one knows why they work. The purpose of this book is to explain why they work, taking some of our most successful scientific theories, then weaving them together into a new way of looking at the world.

A world where you can engineer coincidence. 

A world where you can do magic.
