Answer 2

You better believe it does! Even things that you might not think of as being magic really are!
The magic that happened the day my sons were born! That was magic. The first time my hubby kissed me, that was definatly magical! and we have been married for 19 yr!
There is magic in every moment of every day of out lives!
The blue of the sky, the flowers that bloom, even in the rain!
I know that a lot of people say that it is not, but think about it the next time you walk down the street. This really is an amazingly magical world that we live in.

Answer 3

Yes, magic exists. But it may not be what you've been looking for.
When a magician say, makes a bird appear (I presume you mean this type of magic), we know intellectually that what we are seeing can't possibly happen; but yet it is happening. When I see something like that, I realize that I won't be able to see the sleight of hand, and I just sit back and enjoy the show.
It is that contradiction, that overwhelming opposite-of-logic that is magic. Don't try to understand it; you'll just miss the point.

Answer 4

Well, that would depend on your definition of magic, wouldn't it? For example, some Native American tribes use the term, along with the term "medicine," as their translation of their native words for a sort of personal power or energy which is in fact in conformance with natural law. And seen from the right perspective, nearly everything is magic. Or as I have said for years, if anything is magic, then sex is magic. Can anyone who has been deeply in love dispute that?

Magic involves a vocabulary, a point of view, and has very little to do with subverting natural law, and even less to do with stage magic slight of hand or illusion. If you really want to learn about it, there are hundreds, if not thousands, of web sites that can get you started. Even wikipedia can give you a start. Or spell it as "magick" and read about Aleister Crowley.

Answer 5

Magic--stage magic--exists to the eye of the beholder. And, I think, it does to some extent to the magician. But for the most part the magic tricks we see are just that, tricks. A slight of hand, a distraction of the eyes, a way of changing the attention of our minds, so that an illusion will seem real. But it's great fun, and harmless, I think.

Answer 6

Yes it does exist.

Real Magic is/are the practices of focusing intention with will and emotion to effect change in oneself and the world around you. Magic is a way of working with and using Energy, Universal energy , Elemental energy , Chi , personal energy etc. in order to obtain desired results. The results do not duplicate the Harry Potter fantasy yet many people do achieve dramatic verifiable results form practice of the principles of Magic/K.
My personal definition of magic differs quite a bit from how some other people define it .
Some people think that magic is about imposing your will on the universe to obtain some desired result. This view is often based in the ideas of polarity and oppositions, and includes an acceptance of the idea that suffering and lack are normal conditions.
My personal definition of magick are those processes which bring one into balance with the natural flow the universe . That rather than polarity all so called opposites are aspects of union.

Life is supposed to flow to abundance and happiness. It is imbalance that causes unhappiness and lack and magic is the processes of restoring balance so that the natural abundance and benefits can occur as they are meant to.

Everyone can have happiness and abundance for themselves and loved ones. When we learn to focus our intention and attentions in a positive way when we learn to see the paths of destiny and possibilities we can all have our most satisfying life without taking any joy and positive life aspects from others .

The spelling of Magick with a K is a convention designed to distinguish the spiritual practice from the theatrical art of stage magic and other slight of hand.
Magick is neutral, it is neither good or bad. Our intentions can be good, bad or neutral.For positive outcomes one does need to have a balance of value and understanding of the Ethical standards and an awareness of laws of the universe.

Spells,Rituals , talismans and Amulets are some of the things people might think of when we refer to magick. yes, these can be part of the formal practice of magical skills. These are only some of the forms of Prayer, psychology, affirmation, meditation, energy work and study which are tools for magick.

Answer 8

Magic does exist.

Answer 9

I don't believe that magic exists, but I do believe in miracles and other supernatural things. Magic is just purely the mind.

Answer 10

"Magick is the science and art of causing change to occur in conformity with will."
-Aleister Crowley

Aleister Crowley was one of the foremost magicians of modern times, and a very prolific writer. The above quote was on the flyleaf of his famous book "Magick in Theory and Practice."

He went on to give as an example the creation of a book (creating something out of nothing). He said he would decide what he wanted, gather his magickal tools (pen, paper, etc), seal himself off from entities that might try to block his ritual (lock the door, unplug the phone, etc), focus his will on the task to be performed, and continue until he was satisfied with the result. He would then send his invocation into the ethereal realms asking that they grant his request to make this happen (mail the finished manuscript to his publisher).

The example was somewhat tongue-in-cheek, but it did illustrate that WE are in control of our destiny, and the world we live in is the world we have created for ourselves...even if only by settling, when we could have reached for more.

Answer 11

Magic is so well Magical. I mean I wish I can do spells and potions and have magic powers! I say it does exist.
