Philosopher Julian Baggini and magician Callum Weaver will use the power of illusion to explore the illusions of selfhood. After the show, they will be discussing the magic of philosophy and the philosophy of magic with an audience Q&A.

This will be a highly entertaining and unusual evening in the company of two masters of their craft, working together to examine the idea of selfhood. Join us for Bristol Humanists' Summer Special with:

Dr Julian Baggini, a patron of Humanists UK, and Bristol-based internationally acclaimed philosopher, public speaker and writer. He is the author, co-author or editor of over 20 books including How the World Thinks, The Ego Trick and, most recently, How to Think Like a Philosopher. He was the founding editor of The Philosophers’ Magazine, was academic director of the Royal Institute of Philosophy from 2019–2022 and is an Honorary Research Fellow at the University of Kent.
