Nope. No evidence for any of those either.
Back when I didn't know much about the world around me, I thought that stuff was interesting. Now that I know a little more about the real world, I realize that all of that supernatural stuff is pretty dull and commercial.

I believe in magic in the sense of Chris Angel doing some amazing tricks. I believe in witchcraft in the sense of some people believing that their words and spells can effect people (other than psychologically), but I don't believe they are really doing anything "supernatural."

To me , any and all supernaturals are just so much stupid superstition . If it's not of the natural world , if it can't be proven , if it can't be duplicated ,if it can't be logically explained , it just isn't . That included the things you mentioned plus gods , angels , devils , spooks , casting of spells , faith healing , zombies , evil eye , overlooking , zodiac , astrology , horoscope , and dozens of other superstitions . You would think that in this modern age Medieval superstitions would be long forgotten .

I can only answer for myself.
No I don't believe in sorcery, magic, or witchcraft.
I know there are people who do believe in supernatural phenomena but still hold that there is no god.

As a Pagan, as well as an atheist, I suppose it would depend on how you define those things.
I don't believe in anything that can defy the laws of physics. But I do believe that the mind is powerful, and if you can make yourself think something, your perception can change. And sometimes those changes can seem an awful lot like magic.

I believe in sleight of mind. I believe that vizualising goals helps improve your chances of meeting them. I believe that performing certain rituals under an altered state of consciousness will result in certain experiences, if the individual chooses to believe at the moment of the ritual. I believe that meditation, journaling, and learning to vivid dream helps people gain insight into their lives.
I do not believe anything supernatural can occur...it's all in our heads, and if we remember to keep that in mind it can be beneficial.

Not outside of Harry Potter books. Or Final Fantasy games...
Believe me, if I believed that such things existed, I would be actively trying to harness the unmitigated power beyond mortal comprehension, that is somehow called upon through obscure gestures and jumbled Latin phrases. But, it doesn't work...closest you can get is the crap that David Copperfield does...

Nah. I've chosen the natural over the supernatural. Supernatural makes as much sense as afterlife.

Not at all. However, I believe things can "feel" magical to some. I find Indian Cuisine to have a certain "magical" feel to it.
