The consciousness isn't the illusion, the consciousness is the audience.

An illusion doesn't trick anyone if there's noone to observe it.

An illusion is arguably a perception that, taken literally, entails a false conclusion, so I don't see a need to tie it to a subject.

The only thing I know for sure isn’t an illusion is my consciousness.
