When exposed to magic tricks, they often display a mix of confusion, surprise, and curiosity, as they try to understand the tricks being performed before their eyes. One common reaction observed in monkeys is confusion. Monkeys may appear perplexed when witnessing a magic trick, as they struggle to comprehend how the magician performs such feats. This confusion is evident in their facial expressions and body language, with some monkeys tilting their heads or furrowing their brows in an attempt to understand what is happening.
QCMM celebrates its 8th year in 2023. This is the year of Buckbeak the Hippogriff, Hagrid’s feathered bestie, Sirius’ hero, Malfoy’s nemesis, and a gorgeous creature inside and out. Buckbeak is loyal to a fault and able to sniff out evil-doing from miles away. Plan to snap a pic with our favorite equine eagle while exploring the streets of Staunton.

Queen City Mischief and Magic returns to Staunton
STAUNTON, Va. (WHSV) - Queen City Mischief and Magic (QCMM) returns to Staunton for the 6th time. The festival will take place September 23-24 in Downtown Staunton.
The Harry Potter themed festival will bring magic and adventures to people across the world. Staunton’s economic development department expects over 20,000 people at the QCMM.
Sarah Lynch, founder of QCMM, said this fundraiser gives back to the Staunton community and the non-profits that work in the city.
“This festival has become one of the biggest fundraisers for a lot of our smaller non-profits in this town,” Lynch said. “That’s what we were doing this morning, we were giving away coloring cards and things that we’ve collected over the years so they have something to give our guests.”
The wizarding event is made for all ages, bringing fun for the entire family. Streets in downtown will be blocked off, a map of road closures and impacted areas can be found here.
Sheryl Wagner, director of tourism for Staunton, said businesses thrive in QCMM and more businesses are added to the event every year.
“We estimate that over 20,000 people from around the country and other countries come to downtown Staunton for this magical weekend,” Wagner said. “We know that it has a huge economic impact in the city of Staunton.”
The festival has grown exponentially since it started. In 2016, there were around 30 businesses and non-profits that worked in conjunction with QCMM. According to the itinerary and map, there are 113 supporting organizations this year.
The festival will have food, games and activities for people of all ages. Lynch said the magic of the event doesn’t come from fake wizards or butterbeer, it comes from the smiles and joy of the events.
“It’s a boon for our economy but it’s also just this lovely magical thing that happens,” Lynch said. “People are smiling all weekend, connecting with each other. People leave here and they’ll send us emails through Christmas and say how it was a highlight of their year. I think people look back and do those countdowns of the year and look back to this weekend.”
QCMM brings revenue and tourism to the city, but it also brings new prospective residents to the Queen city.
“We get repeat visitors from QCMM but we also get people who moved here because they have experienced Staunton,” Wagner said.

Reviews for "Monkey Magic Revealed: Analyzing the Cognitive Reactions of Primates"
1. John - 2 stars - I was really excited to watch "Monkeys express reactions to magic" as I am a big fan of both monkeys and magic. However, I found the show to be extremely disappointing. The monkeys' reactions seemed forced and unrealistic, it felt like they were just following cues rather than genuinely responding to the magic tricks. Additionally, the editing was choppy and the overall production quality was poor. I was expecting a fun and entertaining show, but unfortunately, it fell flat for me.
2. Sarah - 1 star - I have to say, "Monkeys express reactions to magic" was one of the most bizarre shows I have ever watched. Not only were the monkeys not particularly engaged or interested in the tricks, but the whole concept of the show felt unnecessary and gimmicky. It seemed like a desperate attempt to capitalize on the popularity of both monkeys and magic, but it just didn't work. The tricks themselves were mediocre at best, and I found myself losing interest after just a few minutes. I wouldn't recommend wasting your time on this show.
3. Alex - 2 stars - As a fan of magic, I was excited to see how monkeys would react to different tricks in "Monkeys express reactions to magic". However, I found the show to be underwhelming and lacking in creativity. The monkeys' reactions were predictable and didn't add anything to the overall entertainment value. The tricks themselves were average and didn't stand out in any way. Overall, I was left feeling disappointed and unimpressed by this show. I would suggest looking for other magic shows that actually deliver on their promises.
4. Emily - 1 star - I couldn't believe how poorly executed "Monkeys express reactions to magic" was. The monkeys seemed completely disinterested and unresponsive throughout the entire show. It felt like a cheap attempt to attract viewers by using cute animals, rather than focusing on quality content. The tricks were repetitive and lacked any wow factor. I wouldn't waste my time watching this again, and I would strongly advise others to avoid it as well.
