I always thought that the "magic trick" would just cause confusion. 

It is important to distinguish whether we talk about Mathematics or whether we do Mathematics. The magic trick example works because we confuse the two. Myst reduces to the secret but mathematically there is no inverse. What matters is the latter.

    Thomas was referring to:
    https://homotopytypetheory.org/2013/10/28/

    You may also have seen it in my thesis or the paper "Notions of 
    Anonymous Existence in Martin-Löf Type Theory". :)
