Psychomagic (entertainment)

In stage magic Psychomagic is accredited to Chan Canasta by many magicians and mentalists.[citation needed] Canasta was a pioneer in the 1950s and 1960s of mentalism. He explained that the word was a portmanteau of the two words psychology and magic, much like his performances, which are considered by many to be an early form of Psychological Magic.[attribution needed]

There are many entertainers and performers who still perform this type of 'mind magic' all over the world, often referring to themselves as psychological entertainers/illusionists or mind magicians. These performers include; Derren Brown, Max Maven, Marc Paul, Twig Harper.
