Have you ever heard of James Randi and his million dollar challenge? For years now he offered a million dollars for people who can prove supernatural abilities in a reproducible way, but the money has still to be won.

I don't even have a clear idea of what "supernatural" means. Surely anything that has an observable effect in the natural world must be a natural phenomenon.
That said: I think things certainly happen which defy our *current* paradigm. My little reading in scientific parapsychology has pretty much convinced me that paranormal phenomena really do occur. However, they must have a naturalistic explanation. I see the seeds of that explanation in the paradigm shift represented in the first of the texts below:

Never attempted to do any magic or actually seen one try to do it infront of me.
But we had full time helper in our house who use to help mom with the cleaning and cooking, she was from Indonesia.
She used to tell us that they sell magic spells and bindings on the street over in her country.
Much of it used to lure other peoples husbands to like another woman and vise versa.
Even if its not real, the idea that people would resort to such things is just totally creepy for some reason.

I know several magic tricks that defy explanation. Pick a card, any card.

I use to practise black magic as a wiccan, but the rule of three always applied. I found out I was using satan's magic to, so I quit the craft.

Yes, Satan can give anyone the power to perform "magic" unless they're saved.

They can do things that seem to defy the laws of nature, but it's all trickery.

Yes, by the power of satan. Just as in the days of Moses, pharoah's magicians copied some of the Miracles of God by the works of the devil.
