>Children know the box is not magic. are you sure about that?

  It’s important to clarify this question. Children, especially young children, do not have a clear view of what is real and What is not real. The line is different for everyone, but I’d say at 7 or 8 that starts to come into focus. Even then, there are plenty of grown, intelligent adults who believe things without any substantial evidence. I will say that kids are way smarter than we often give them credit for. They’re natural scientists, and I think we probably educate that kind of learning out of them.

  In that case, I'll "rewrite" my comment: modified quote> I watched the video, but I'm unconvinced. They tell the kid the box is "magic". Children now know the box IS magic. Children know how spells work in cartoon and books. So "magic" is a code word for "please copy all the silly steps as accurate as possible". The main problem is that humans and chips get different instructions.
