 The chapter on magic tricks in Scot's "Discoverie" was later plagiarised heavily; it was the basis of "The Art of Juggling" (1612) by S. R., and "Hocus Pocus Junior" (1634).Scot's early writings constituted a substantial portion (in some cases, nearly all) of the text in English-language stage magic books of the 17th and 18th centuries.The debate over the contested Christian doctrine continued for the following decades.
