If the article's premise is true, that there's a decline in the belief in magic due to having more information at your fingertips, that's good news to me. Sure, it'll mean a decline in the magic industry specifically (although it'll never die out entirely simply because watching someone perform a magic trick well is amazing even though you know it's a trick). But it also means that people aren't taking what's fed to them on faith, and are looking behind the curtain. At a societal level, this is something we should definitely encourage.
