Nothing seems further remote than a physicist and a magician. Nevertheless these two communities have a lot in common, both in their methodology and goals. The physical world seems to set the stage for magic tricks that are often even more spectacular than the ones a sleight of hand artist is able to present. By showing both magic tricks and physics experiments I will discuss the connections between magic and science, especially in relation to the breath-taking, bemusing and bizarre world of quantum mechanics, which has taken -- often without our realizing it -- so much importance in our everyday lives.
