Reginald Scot fu un gentiluomo di campagna inglese e membro del Parlamento, ora ricordato come l'autore di 'The Discoverie of Witchcraft'. In quest'opera, scritta contro la credenza nelle streghe, cercò di dimostrare che la stregoneria non esisteva. Parte del suo contenuto espone come venivano eseguite imprese magiche (apparentemente miracolose), e il libro è spesso considerato il primo manuale di prestidigitazione.
