  • Presto, science! Some analysis regarding illusionismWhy may be attractive for someone interested in science to consider the phenomenon of illusionism and stage-magic? Basically, because it would turn out useful to develop defenses against events that diminish or weaken our attention and interpretation capacities, things that leave us vulnerable to fall inadvertently into deceptions. We’ll reflect on the procedures of the magician tricks, considering examples of how we are fallible and manipulable to the degree of being lead to live an experience that is not the case, i.e. an illusion. This can make us reflect on the scientific realm, its frequent non explicit assumptions and systematic closed procedures.
