"Good Vibrations"
A Comedian might be considered a Magician of Laughter.
When he stands before a crowd and begins to weave his spell — he has the entire audience in the palm of his hand.
Wizardry of this nature has not gone unnoticed and laughter is now recognized as a cognitive-behavioural therapy. It has been shown to improve our physical, psychological, and social health — ultimately benefiting our quality of life.
A commentary, based on a collection of clinical trials and published studies.
