[[Hypnotism]] and slight of hand are often used to entertain by [[magician|stage magicians]]. Entertainers such as [[Derren Brown]] use a combination of psychology, manipulation and illusion to suspend the disbelief of an otherwise cynical audience. Many of these tricks appear to be paranormal in nature to one who does not understand the trick. Most magicians follow a "code" that dictates that they shall not reveal the secrets inherent in the profession.
