We all know that illusionists like David Copperfield or Siegfried and Roy are deft entertainers. They perform stunning tricks, but not for one moment do we believe they have supernatural powers. We just love to see them because they demonstrate that things are not always what they seem. Therein lies their philosophy.
Isn´t this philosophy comparable with one of the secrets of story writing? Both the illusionists and the storytellers job is to misleading the audience and setting the people on the wrong track.
