Could a magician make psilocin from 4hydroxyindole using the same way to synth DMT from indole?

Yes, if you add an acetyl or benzyl protecting group to the OH and use harsher / longer reaction times (e.g. in reduction reactions).
Search Rhodium's or my site (

The detailed recipe is in TIHKAL, in lycaeum or erowid.
