Reginald Scot était un gentilhomme de campagne anglais et membre du Parlement, aujourd'hui souvenu comme l'auteur de 'The Discoverie of Witchcraft'. Dans cet ouvrage, écrit contre la croyance aux sorcières, il chercha à démontrer que la sorcellerie n'existait pas. Une partie de son contenu révèle comment des tours de magie (apparemment miraculeux) étaient exécutés, et le livre est souvent considéré comme le premier manuel de prestidigitation.
