Neither exists, but magic is a trick on the eyes, a "miracle" is when a normal event gets more credit than it deserves in someone's mind.

Actually, there are two types of Magic. There is White Magic, which is what you see in Magic shows. Like tricks on the eyes. It's called White Magic because it doesn't harm anybody. White magic is ok. But there is also Black Magic which is used by the Devil and his worshipers, which is not good. It would be things like, Voodoo dolls, curses.. etc. It is called black magic because it is intended to be used to harm other people. The Devil uses it to bring people away from God. God uses miracles to bring people closer to him. Miracles cannot be explain by man, they aren't intended to. God uses them to make people think about how powerful He is, and about the miraculous things that he can do. It could be that He healed someone of a sickness, or saved them from a terrible accident, it could be anything. People only think of miracles of being a big and huge. But the truth is, is that it could be something so small that where other people see it as nothing, the person that received the miracle know it is much more. If people knew what God thinks or could figure out why He does the things that He does, He wouldn't be a mighty God. Would He?

miracles come from the miracle minded, very few people achieve this status such as Jesus, it means looking beyond the physical and believing in the non-physical, it means you depend soley on God because you know that only truth comes from this source and this portal allows you to do miraculous things.
Magic is the lowest form of spirituality, it means your source is not faith filled, no matter how great the results are, none is greater than the miracle of God, Magic is the blind leading the blind, magic is the faith of the worshipper, its an MINDLESS act. Magic is a taker not a giver, it only wants to receive the benefits of the act and not share but we all know God is inclusive and God never does anything to harm or go against anothers will.
Miracles is the foundation of Faith and Magic is Faithless, it depends soley on itself.

Magic.......... people see a magic trick and take it for what it is,slight of hand, a trick or indeed, magic.
A miracle, people actually believe happens........no magic, just something out of the ordinary perceived as miraculous.
I've never seen or read of any so called miracle that can't be explained.

A miracle is an effect or extraordinary event in the physical world that surpasses all known human or natural powers and is ascribed to a supernatural cause.
Magic is any extraordinary or mystical influence, charm, power, etc.
They're basically the same thing used by different people.

magic is a trick invented by a magician - ie making an assistant disappear - usually for the purposes of entertainment and making money
miracles on the other hand do not and never have happened - take miracles at Lourdes - no one has ever been cured from something which they could have being cured of naturally. no one has ever had a leg re-grow for example. in fact more people get ill from bathing in and drinking the same polluted water.

Magic is based in the Physical, Miracles claim to be supernatural.

Magic is done through trickery and slight of hand. Miracles don't exist. Anything that seems as such is still governed by the laws of probability

By definition, both have a "supernatural" origin - supernatural implying "more than natural, more than can be explained by the laws of nature."
In common usage, a miracle is usually performed by God's will, whereas magic is usually performed by personal will (although it can be argued that no personal will can overcome God's will, so magic could also be done by God's will via a human instrument or will).

Magic = spooky, evil, from the Devil!!!
Miracles = spooky, evil magic from GOD!!!
Same crap, different audience. Magic is just that - sleight of hand tricks, performed in front of a paying audience. Miracles are the same thing - but are prepetrated upon unsuspecting flocks of beleivers who are already predisposed to beleiving in magical sky faeries...and are paying for the magic, but dont really realize it.

Miracle or luck because there is a chance of happening but it is never really explained or hard to explain why it happens but acutally happens and magic is a trick performed to amuse people but there is way to prove it is not real, although your eyes think is real but it is not!!!
