Ok, I'm lost, sorry. .
I'm not clear how knowing what an 'illusion' is disproves solipsism.

Can't the internal world contain illusions? We see magic illusions, films on screens all producing illusions - yet they could all be part of our internal illusion.

Can't we have illusions within illusions?

Mind you, if solipsism was true I'd already know all this stuff, and wouldn't have to ask.
