Cognitive Manipulation Model in Magic: Structure of Belief Formation and Collapse

This paper proposes a cognitive model of magic based on belief formation and collapse. It introduces a three-layer structure (State, Operation, Constraint) and defines misdirection as the generation of false belief. The framework provides a systematic method for designing magical experiences.
