Does Magic Exist?
Just wondering about magic and opinions of magic. For example - I believe in magic. I believe that math and music are both forms of expressing and using magic.

I used to make quarters disappear. It's an illusion. The illusion is real. Making the quarter disappear isn't. Magic is simply illusion/deception, in my opinion.

No such thing as "magic."
There's illusion and misdirection. There's science. There's the priesthood. And then there's satan's power to work "miracles" |

A flame? That came out of left field and it wasn't very nice, especially considering you didn't back up your claim. I think you can word that better and substantiate your opinion.

How can you say theres no magic............... Mabey your idea of magic is different than mine. A beautiful sunset, a babies smile , the way everything works out even when it seems it won't, miracles and magic go hand in hand......... If the magic dosen't go against the gospel what is the problem?

I was going to say . . . the OP needs to define "magic" and we can discuss that definition.
MY definition of "magic" is the ability to have the elements of the multi-metaverse obey your instructions. So I'd have to say, yes. Now, methods . . .

I know some people think items like ouija boards and tarot cards contain some kind of magic. Seems rather superstitious to me, but maybe they are making a leap of faith like we all do with our other beliefs.
