As you aren't supposed to worship other gods, surely they must exist right?
And no seance, means you can contact the dead, should you choose?

Do you conced that since black magic, FALSE gods, and curses are of satan....and he is the father of all lies....that whether those things exist or not is irrelevant? Either someone who practices such things is a fraud (which makes him a liar) or he's inspired by the one who can only lie...(which makes him a liar).
So what's the difference?
And the dead can't be contacted. To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord....unless your "lord" happens to be the devil, then you're present with him. There ARE familiar spirits - demonic forces to deceive that you may make some contact with....but unless you just want to be a true idiot and fall for lies and destruction, what purpose does THAT serve?
Don't be impressed with things that appear spiritual. You meet spirits every day, yet you think nothing about it. Every person around you, and you yourself - are a spirit. You're just clothed in flesh that's all.
The fact that there are angels, and demons, and the only Living, One True God and a little muling wimp of a fraud called the devil doesn't make you clever or cool because you aspire to all things satanic. It makes you a fool.
And this Christian will certainly concede that.....

Actually, when the Bible says that "no contacting the dead," its because the 'dead' aren't there. So, what your contacting is a demon pretending to be the person you 'want to talk too.' These are timeless beings who have been around a long, long time and have no physical form, the Bibles says they are "like clouds," having no mass.
And as for "the other Gods," the Bible refers to a scripture that says that you can "make anything your God." So, not just Baal, Tammuzi, Odin, Kali, Isis or Mars can be your Gods, so can Money, Fame, Fortune, your religion, anything you put before GOD. So, being a GOD doesn't make you physically real, the Hindu's alone have over six hundred and sixty million gods.

I can't speak for other Christians, but I believe they DO exist. Yep, it wouldn't make much sense for God to say we should have no other gods before him if other gods didn't exist. As for contacting the dead, I have no idea whether it is possible or not...for me, "no seance" means that you shouldn't try and, unlike "no other Gods" it doesn't mean that it can or can't happen. If God exists then Satan exists...and I think that trying to contact the dead and all that stuff opens the door of your mind to all sorts of things...real problems and perceived evil!...you MIGHT be contacting a dead relative or you might be talking directly to the devil...why take the chance?

The "gods: people usally worship are just statues with no soul or mind or anything.and yes curses exist but are caused by purely satanic means.same with seances they aren't talking to the dead they are contacting demons.

Genesis 6 and Jude 6 shows that many angels came down from heaven to live with women forsaking their positions in heaven they were rebellious and disobedient.
Satan out right got one to turn against God.
So those same disobedient angels are here on this earth wanting to be worshipped. They are powerful spirit persons who can and do terrible things to people.

Since you include all Christians in your question, your question is too general to allow for a direct answer. Mainly because we can only speak on our own personal beliefs.
But I can address your logic
Which is; prohibiting an action is proof of the existence and possibility of the action.
So if you told me not to flap my arms and fly to the moon, the only thing stopping me is if I agree to obey you.
Hope this helps.

specific, there are different 'gods', black magic is actual, and people say that seances do artwork. however the element is, there might nicely be and is barely one actual residing G-d and He has instructed all of us to refrain from the 'worship of fake gods and guy-made idols'.

No, they do not exist. Believing something doesn't MAKE it real.
There is NO power except that of God.
To try the things you named is sin.

no, God says not to do this but that doesn't mean that it must exist. It means that we aren't allowed to do those things.
