1 Corinthians 12 Spiritual gifts for different uses
The manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.
For to one is giving by the Spirit the word of WISDOM; to another the word of KNOWLEDGE by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of HEALING by the same Spirit; to another the working of MIRACLES; to another PROPHECY; to another DISCERNING OF SPIRITS; to another drivers kinds of TONGUES; to another the INTERPRETATION of tongues:
But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.
You can have one or more than one these gifts.

There is certainly stuff out there that people can do but I wouldn't consider it magic.
I have experienced some pretty crazy stuff in the past. I used to have a bunch of friends that were devil worshipers who had demons living inside of them. They gave up their souls of course and they gained abilities in certain situations after they completed some very minor rituals. I'm not talking about dancing in blood or pentagrams or anything stupid like that. Just putting their hands to their foreheads while laying down after opening their mind and chanting for their demon to come inside. After this happens they can feel what people around them are feeling and in some instances hear other people as they think in their heads and read minds. I didn't believe it at first but after a couple that I knew pretty well were describing the images I was picturing in my head I became a believer. Of course these abilities come with a great sacrifice. I wouldn't recommend it. It sounds great and all but it's overrated.

We ALL have special abilities as a talent. Chris Angel is an example for one. Many of his stunts were practised to precision. Precision therefore became the talent worthy of appreciation. There is poetry and fine artwork that creates magic in thought and perception. Then there is the amazing ability of belief that has endured and set souls free throughout history.

Yes humans have special abilities. The organized churches frown on these abilities because they want to run the show so to speak. So they brand the abilities as evil.

we all have special abilities to a certain extent. some are better at certain necessary skills than others which may make others think they have certain magical qualties and abilities. yet the person who believes the other has magical powers may in return have other areas of expertise which may give the other person to believe the same thing about them.

Actually it does exist. In my religion it is called Heka. There are some of us that do have magical abilities and some of us don't or just don't realize they do.

Magic is when a clever charlatan fools the masses via sleigh-of-hand. The only powers humans possess are within the natural laws of science.

Oh I do believe that there are several people who have special talents and abilities.. It is easy in this day and age to be sceptical of almost everything, but I know there are some out there who are incredibly talented.

When someone has a special ability, it is usually some sort of Satanic thing. Now, I'm not some radical Christian running the streets and preaching, but I do believe that Satan is a god to many people, and he has the power to give special abilities to his select group of people.

As a Christian, I firmly believe that God gives everyone special abilities and gifts! Supernatural gifts... well, probably not. Interesting question.
