Is magic a serious research topic? This question seems a bit weird. Obviously, in psychology show magic is a very serious topic. It deals with psychological processes, and with social interactions. In the late 19th century and early 20th century, famous psychologists as Binet [1,2]; Jastrow [3]; Triplett [4] use magical performances to understand psychological functioning. In 1999 Lamont & Wiseman [5] published Magic in theory, a theoretical book analysing the art of magic. Between 1887 and 1999, only 12 empirical articles about perception of magic in adults were published; they were 55 between 2000 and 2016 [6]. Nowadays, this field is sometimes called “science of magic” [7,8] or, most specifically, “neuromagic” [9]. In psychology, magic can be studied as any other object, or can be a mean to study psychological processes [10]. To our knowledge, most studies deal with perception and cognitive psychology [11,12] and very few with social psychology [13,14].
