Isn't that missing the whole point? The basis of belief in magic is that the believers don't know...Who here believes in magic...and if you do what do you think it is like and how it works...give it a try...
Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
Arthur C. Clarke, "Technology and the Future"
I meant that magic is based on the idea of supernatural systems. If anything is understood in terms of process and the magic is a real one, then it ceases to be supernatural. It is just new, physical science. It is no longer magic.Originally posted by Stranger

Hi Stranger. I believe in the real magic, the magic of Merlin, where all is possible through intent and thought and energy. Actually, I don't really believe any more, I'm past that point of believe to knowing the real magic and on the brink of living the real magic. Whatever you think, you can create. It is a long journey of self and self discovery before finding the ability within you. There is all this stuff called a lifetime of conditioning between you and the awareness and perception of the real magic. But it is there inside each and every one of us. The possibilities are infinite.

MAGIC just IS.
It's everywhere, always.
It's FREE.
Everything is MAGIC ... as long as you are too lazy (or unable ... or unwilling) to explain it

Magic is a term that refers to the use of supernatural or paranormal powers to manipulate or influence events in the physical world. It is often associated with beliefs and practices that are outside the realm of science and cannot be explained by natural laws.
As a scientist, I cannot definitively say whether magic is real or not. While there is no scientific evidence to support the existence of magic, many people believe in its existence and have reported experiencing magical phenomena. It ultimately depends on one's personal beliefs and perspective.
There is no clear answer to this question. Some people believe that magic is a natural ability that some individuals possess, while others believe that it can be learned through practice and study. However, there is no scientific evidence to support either belief.
Yes, there are various forms of magic, such as witchcraft, sorcery, and divination, which have different beliefs, practices, and origins. Each type of magic may also have different purposes, such as healing, protection, or divination.
While magic and science may seem like opposing beliefs, there have been instances where scientific principles have been used to explain or debunk magical phenomena. However, science and magic have different approaches and methods, and they are not considered to be directly related.
