Which gets us to this very good article in the Journal of performance magic (an academic journal published by the university of Huddersfield that offers some really good reflections on the subject) : http://eprints.hud.ac.uk/id/eprint/34495/
Similar thing with magic. Knowing there are false shuffles, pockets, forces, double-lifts, etc makes it more impressive when you still can't see it happening. It's the execution that becomes impressive rather than the result.
