Magic is a discreetly subjective experience. Husserl indirectly addresses this notion, in 'The Crisis of the European Sciences and Transcendental Phenomenology', by suggesting that it is absurd to attempt reducing subjective experience to objects of science. There is a blind spot in the "positivistic concept of science" seemingly forgetting that scientific culture arises from lived experiences and practices which are the source of science and the ground of its validity. I wonder how many magicians in private are and were scientists in public?
