Comment on Rappert & Kuhn: Toward a Theory of Exposure
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The comment addresses the article "Toward a Theory of Exposure" by Rappert & Kuhn in the Journal of Performance Magic 7(1). The results of the survey published there are compared to two contributions that were recently published in magic magazines. In those, exposures were mostly viewed uncritically. Examples are used to demonstrate that a general question of "for or against exposures" is too broad and that it depends on the specifics of the trick secrets being explained.Journal of Performance Magic 7(1) The commentary addresses the article "Toward a Theory of Exposure" by Rappert & Kuhn in the Journal of Performance Magic 7(1).
