Speaking

Alice has spoken at TED, TEDx, and other international conferences on psychology, perception, decision-making, and magic. Her keynotes blend science, storytelling, and live demonstrations that let audiences experience how attention and belief shape what they see and decide. These signature talks explore the hidden illusions that guide how we see, choose, and believe.

 

Blending psychology, magic, and interactive cognitive experiments, they invite curious minds to rethink the familiar and rediscover the mind’s most surprising tricks.

The Illusion of Choice

We all like to believe we're in control of our choices but what if that freedom is just an illusion?

 

In this interactive talk, Alice explores how magicians exploit cognitive biases to subtly influence decision-making, without people realizing it.

​

Through live magic demonstrations and psychological insights, she reveals what these techniques uncover about the hidden forces shaping our choices, our sense of control, and our daily habits.

​

Drawing on research in cognitive psychology and the psychology of magic, Alice translates these principles into practical tools; helping individuals design better environments, question automatic decisions, and regain a more intentional form of agency in everyday life.

The Art of Being Fooled

We often think of magic as something that happens on stage... but the real magic lies in how our minds construct reality every day.

​

In this talk, Alice reveals the illusions of attention, perception, and control that shape what we see, what we miss, and the choices we make. Through live magic demonstrations and insights from cognitive psychology, she makes these invisible mechanisms tangible, often surprising even the most attentive audiences.

​

By understanding how our minds can be guided, misled, and influenced, participants learn to question their assumptions, refine their awareness, and make more intentional decisions in work and life.

The Magic of Leadership: 

​

How to work with your brain’s illusions to better decide, manage and perform.

Being a leader means making daily decisions, interpreting the behavior of others, choosing where to focus your attention, and mobilizing your teams.

 

Yet, behind every one of these actions lies a tool that is as powerful as it is imperfect: our brain.

​

It filters what we see, influences our choices without us realizing it, diverts our attention, and transforms our expectations into behaviors.

​

This immersive talk reveals these invisible illusions through magic experiments and cognitive science, showing how to work with them to make better decisions, manage better, boost efficiency, and create more opportunities.
