Here's a question that should give those that say Jesus was nothing but a con man who fooled the people with magic tricks etc. some food for thought. If that is all Jesus was... a really good con man ... why did the Pharisees and Saducees not fight to expose him instead of arranging to have him executed?
If you read the Gospel accounts, the religious leaders practically stalked Jesus and his band of disciples. Why didn't they come up with proof that they were charlatans... cons ... and expose them to the people for what they were. Instead they had him killed, making him more "dangerous" in death as a martyr than he ever was alive. Does that make any sense?

Gibbon?: There might be a "magician's code". All that means is that if there were other magicians around they'd keep their mouth shut. I'm talking about Jesus' sworn enemies. Those who decided to put him to death because he was a threat to their way of life. Rather than go on a mission to expose him as a fraud, which would have done THEM a whole lot more good, they killed him, thereby "shooting themselves in the foot".

Where is your proof that David Blaine is merely a trickster?
He obviously didn't want to break the magicians code and reveal his secrets.

Magic and trickery are NOT one and the same. Magic is the ability to alter circumstances and events using the powers possessed within. Trickery is fooling people by claiming that it's something that it is not. Jesus was not a magician. Whether he fooled people or not is another matter. However his miracles, or whatever you would call them, were NOT magic. This is because miracles are religious emanating from Gods whereas magic comes from within people that possess magical ability.

Jesus was and is real and the son of God. They had to kill Him it was written that it would happen. He came here to die for our sins and save us. People who don't get that or think differently have not seen the light so its not worth worrying about it,

It makes sense to me.
I'm not even sure he performed any miracles though. Maybe he simply resisted temptation, made time to pray and did exactly what God told him to do... and the miracles just happened? Maybe that could work for anyone?

Well they tried there best to expose him but he out smarted them on every turn.
Jesus is more than anyone can imagine. But he even out smarted them in death. They thought they killed him in truth he died willingly because it was the Fathers will.
