I think the phenomenon is much older than you give it credit for. From the time the first magician did his first parlor trick, there have been audience members trying to figure out how he did that. Houdini spent a big chunk of his life debunking the special effects of purported mediums. Most intelligent people have the "how did he do that?" gene.
Are you asking us to give the movie/telly producers a free pass on asking how they did it, or are you just asking those of us who have figured it out to not publish spoilers?
