具体描述
Modern Enchantments takes us deeply into the history and workings of modern secular magic, from the legerdemain of Isaac Fawkes in 1720, to the return of real magic in nineteenth-century spiritualism, to the role of magic in the emergence of the cinema. Through the course of this history, During shows how magic performances have drawn together heterogeneous audiences, contributed to the molding of cultural hierarchies, and extended cultural technologies and media at key moments, sometimes introducing spectators to rationality and helping to disseminate skepticism and publicize scientific innovation. In a more revealing argument still, Modern Enchantments shows that magic entertainments have increased the sway of fictions in our culture and helped define modern society's image of itself.

把现代性概念化包装一下，试图让神鬼与现代生活可以兼容。这本身就是很荒谬的... 神秘主义从未远离，只是被压抑吧。左眼跳财，右眼跳迷信大概就是这本书所说的“兼容”。
通过考察舞台魔术提出fictionality作为一种个体自愿和主动选择的enchantment来说明modernity不是那么悲观。不过这书写得实在是太跳跃了，而且普遍意义在现代性中的消解基本还是不可逆的吧
