My second article since I became a writer for Suite101.com has just been published. Like the last one, it has to do with skepticism – evidence based critical thinking, a form of epistemology many nonreligious ascribe to. This article is about Skepticism and the Art of Magic. I have been interested in the art of magic since I was little. I have also practiced the art as an amateur magician throughout my life, as well as performing here and there professionally. Through my study of magic I have found that the knowledge of how to fool and skepticism go hand in hand. This new article discusses that link.

Although not inclusive of every single important aspect of skepticism, it is a good primer for those interested in either what skepticism is or starting the road towards becoming a skeptic.
