The Economy of Magic

  On February 12th, 2015, I will return to Nekropolis in Copenhagen for another lecture. The theme this time is The Economy of Magic – There’s no free lunch, nor free magical success. The talk will basically be an overview of what makes magic function, seen through a filter that is part Thermodynamics, part intuitive yet causal common sense. In order not to overdraw your energy account or create bad magical credit, you’ll be wise to pop up at this lecture! It will be sold out so book your ticket now!

It’s hard to fully realize the importance of Patrick’s wit and intelligence, but it was there from beginning to end. His masterpiece book Psychedelia – An Ancient Culture, A Modern Way...
