Many people believe that it's possible to change their circumstances by using supernatural means. To some it's the only way to make something happen, to others it's a kind of insurance policy. Do you believe it's possible to cast spells to make your life different or to keep things running smoothly?

Magic? or illusions made by magician were just illusions. So,i don't believed in it. It can give us entertainment anyway...and it's fine. But when we were saying magic spell...or black magic...no..it's all evil things. That's my opinion.

Then I was unclear. I apologize. I wondered if you believe spells work, or do you believe spells are also fake?

I was not referring to stage magic, but to spells and such things as that. I get the impression from your replay that you do believe such spells work. Am I understanding correctly?

How powerful do you believe magic is in life? Do you practice magic yourself?

To each their own. Sometimes I think its a placebo effect or something like forcing your will on somebody. I think the trick is to believe. Not just wish or hope. I mean really REALLY believe. Like knowing it's going to be sunny the next day. It happens just because and the sun you know is this big thing thats always going to be there. I know it sounds weird but thats the closest analogy I can make.

Do you feel, then, that magic does work, or that it's mostly/only a way of changing how _you_ percieve things? Do things in the world change the way we want them to if we believe they will?

I do believe in supernatural things, e.g. ghosts, spirits, sixth sense. But I'm not sure if casting spells really works. It it really works, most of the people in the world would be using this technique to achieve what they want.

hi! yes, i do believe there is something magical in all the tricks of the magicians, but I also know that it is all a fake. There is series from a magician who reveals all the secrets in magic and I have saw all the famous tricks and all of them are illusion. Because illusion and magic are two different things :)

Thank you for your comment, Phoenix8606. I was not referring to stage magic, but the kind of magic that involves spells, spirits, etc. Would you care to comment further on what you consider real and what is fake?
