But that does not mean that it is irreducible. Perhaps your consciousness is being generated in your head by aliens.
Also, what do you mean that your sense impressions may be a trick, but your consciousness is real? If that is true, I can enumerate every single aspect of what you call consciousness and state that it is a trick. Your sense impressions, your qualia, your emotions, etc., etc.: they are all tricks.
