Magic and Science with Dean Radin Dean Radin, PhD, is chief scientist at the Institute of Noetic Science in Novato, California. He is author of The Conscious Universe, Entangled Minds, Supernormal, and Real Magic. In this conversation, Dr. Dean Radin explores the intersection of magic and science, showing how ancient practices of intention and attention parallel modern findings in parapsychology and quantum physics. He discusses his experiments with magicians and meditators, revealing evidence that consciousness can subtly influence light, matter, and even biological systems. Dr. Radin also reflects on the ethical and spiritual implications of these findings, suggesting that the pursuit of real magic ultimately leads toward compassion, wisdom, and service. 00:00:00 Introduction 00:01:46 Breaking taboos between science and magic 00:06:34 Experiments with magicians and meditators 00:17:05 Coincidences, synchronicity, and funding “magic” 00:25:12 Consciousness interaction with photons 00:27:25 Blessing experiments with chocolate, tea, and water 00:32:06 Challenges of replication and epistemology 00:36:05 Chaos magic and mathematical theory 00:39:12 Metal bending and the mystery of intention 00:46:22 Divination, retrocausation, and how magic may work 01:06:02 Conclusion New Thinking Allowed host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man.
