520 |a The two articles included in this issue focus on different aspects of the relations between ritual magic, illusion, and staged magic. Robert Goulding analyzes areas of ambiguity in the manuscript accounts of experiments with lamps, flames and mirrors from a historical perspective, while Loren Pankratz reflects, from the perspective of psychology, on how belief systems create illusions--referencing a seventeenth-century work by Bernard le Bovier Fontenelle on the use of illusions in the Greek oracles. Both articles illuminate the ways that created illusions have been received and reconceived within different realms of experience, such as religion, technology and secular beliefs. We are grateful to Kevin Ogle, École Nationale de Chimie de Paris, who first suggested the idea for this issue.
