I watched a programme that was televised by the bbc and seen a man in the far east lighting paper with his mind.

Hmm... not in the sense that magic is what we are taught as children. However, power of the mind, positive thoughts/affirmations (and prayer & rituals are just extensions of these) all work. This is the magic that witches spoke of years ago and were burned for. Fairy tales have a way of distorting history, so do politicians and priests for that matter ;)

There is no reason why these things can't happen naturally. We just dont have the knowledge. Consequently we call it magic.
Merlin the Magician knew about metals and other little goodies. Extremely clever for those days. but we call him a magician.
I beleive in the magic of life. Live Life every day for yourself and life will create its own magic just for you.

It is possible magic exists, but since no one has ever been able to perform it under controlled conditions I think it is extremely unlikely that it exists.
The guy who burned the paper with his mind was using a trick of some kind. Chances are there video crew was in on it to some degree as well.

Of course I believe in magic. In an atom, electrons try to fill the void around the nucleus. Why? Magic. Gravity works, more magic. We are alive. Sometimes that's disgusting, but it's always magic.

I believe in true magic. The earth magics to be exact.
We, as humans, have lost so many abilities to keep in touch with nature, as the animals do.
Who's to say what we are able to do if shown how to connect.

I don't believe in the supernatural definition of magic. But I do believe in nature, psychology, and the power of suggestion/symbolism. Those are very powerful and motivating things, and I refer to them as magic.

That was a mentalist, like Chris Angel, who uses mind over matter (manipulates matter). Real magick (not the rabbit in the hat crap) is a form of occultism.

No - but I did when I was a child - and the world was truly magical!
