Alex Stone in “Fooling Houdini”
• There is a wealth of connections between
magic and science: psychology, neuroscience,
mathematics, physics [+ chemistry]
• The world of magic is filled with scientists and
the world of science is filled with magicians
• Scientists and magicians are people who take
an interest in mysteries
