    Abstract
    The key element of this study was to explore the reconstruction process in viewing magic tricks and to identify key psychological variables that may lead to a correct interpretation of how the trick was done. While it was hypothesised that respondents who scored high in system 2 thinking, self-efficacy, and self-esteem would be better predictors of how the trick was done significant data could only be found in relation to self-efficacy scores. It was predicted identifying the moment the pen left the magicians hand would play an important role in knowing how the trick was done; this however was not proven to be true.
