Talking about Magic, I have read many articles in magazines about the great Magicians Harry Houdini. I have read about his magic tricks,such as The Mirror Handcuff Challenge,The Chinese Water Torture Cell...etc. all tricks were amazing. Another great man was David copperfield known as illusionist.He was the only man who walked through the great wall of china.
here is the video if you want to watch:

the same way I strongly believe in magic of INDIAN ROPE TRICK.
Talking about miracle, I also believe in Miracle, It does not matter it is religious or not but something cant be explained,Sometimes science also failed to give answer.But I have some doubt about exorcism, though I have not experienced it personally but I do not believe in it.
What do you think?

Hey Crazy poster!
I don't know why but i believe in Magic and Miracles.I know Magic doesn't exist simply because there is a natural explanation for all the things that happen.
The people you mention(Harry Houdini and David Copperfield) are illusionists.They use tricks to make things which look impossible but are just very hard.They play with your mind and make you happy.
Miracles are stuff that have no explanation.In my opinion miracles can happen(e.g. I got a scholarship for learning 30 minutes a day)either because we want something really hard or just don't expect it.
Magic and Miracles are just ways for me to spend my time!I try to find explanations for them.
Happy mylotting

Hi altaircho: I think it's ok to beleive in those things. I mean, there are some things that are over- at least at this moment- human knowledge and that's what we call magic or miracles. For me magic and miracles are two different denominations for things that we can't explain or that we haven't found a good explanation yet. I see Copperfield and Houdini as illusionist too. Thanks for your answer. Have a nice day.

Hi Crazy Poster: I beleive that there are some things that can't be explained by cience. So in this order of ideas, yes I beleive what some people call "magic". I prefer to talk about miracles or paranormal situations but I don't beleive anything that would be presented as an spectacle. I don't beleive that Houdini, Copperfield, Criss Angel really make magic, they are just good entertainers. There's always a secret behind their great shows. Thanks for sharing with us this video and for starting this discussion. Have a nice day.

In most cases it is illusion, and in some cases trick of the hands.
Yet, no doubt, true magical power exists.
In Assam province of India, a woman possess magical powers. She can fix broken bones no matter how badly broken. People come to her from far and away with serious orthopedic problems. Medical science has no answer to this miracle.
In a deep forest near Kamakhya temple in the same province it is reported that there is small settlement of about hundred females. If any male ever dare to enter their area, they turn him into a goat or dog with their black magic and keep him as captive forever.

I don't belive in magics because I belive only in god and I am orthodox christian. I think that all magics and mystical teachings are contrary to my religion.
Everyone has the right to belive whatever you want , but my position is hardly.
sorry for bad english

Hi crazy_poster , well , I do believe in miracles , but magic.... I don't know , I think magic is just another word for miracle , also there are somethings science can't explain , some persons say we just didn't found the answer why , but , is it true?For example , scientists say the big bang caused the universe creation, but who the hell created the two planets?THAT they can't explain , and the fact to where does the universe grows too.So , yes , I believe in miracles.

I don't believe magic at all. All the magic has a black box behind, and you can't see what are in the box. I have seen two person, they all learn magic, and have performed several times in public places. Of course they are not very famous like Harry Houdini, but they told me, if you know what is behind the stage, any magics have no mysteriousness.
But I admit magicians are miracles, they should have unimaginablely fast hands and extremely strong memory.
Things we cant imagine or understand can be called as miracles, but I think that's only because of the lack of our knowledge or maybe the humans' knowledge. But I believe it'll have a reasonable explanation in the future, I don't think there are unexplainable things in the world, so I don't believe any of the three.

Call me a skeptical but I don't believe in any of those, there is always a reason why and how something happens we just haven't figured it out yet.

It's hard to believe in magic as it is all just tricks to fool the eye. Theres even a television show that explains all the tricks in the book and its prespective behind the scenes. As for miracle, too many miracles have happened in my lifetime so its hard NOT to believe in it. Exorcism is still debated in my head though :(.
