Episode description

What if I told you that magic is real but it has evolved alongside us, taking on a different form: Technology? Labels like science, medicine, technology, spontaneous remission, placebo and Nocebo are all just labels describing the same thing: the mind’s ability to manipulate matter to produce a desired outcome. The same definition would apply to our understanding of magic. Whether or not these actions and outcomes would be considered “supernatural” depends on the eye of the beholder. To someone from the 1500s, a cellphone would seem pretty supernatural and we would all be considered great and powerful magicians.
