I don't believe in magic though i can't explain how people who practice it succeed in duping us.

I just consider things which are beyond the explanation of science to be magic. They will remain magic until science can give explanations to them.
That sounds eerily similar to a quote by Arthur C Clarke, "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."

I was at an expo and there was a booth where you could get your aura read. My friend and I did it for laughs. The lady recited my life back to me like she had lived it herself. She knew private details about me that I had shared with no one. She even told me to give up on my car. It was a piece of junk and needed replacing. No one knew how much trouble I was having with that car. I have been a believer of magic every since.
Any book that helps a child to form a habit of reading, to make reading one of his deep and continuing needs, is good for him.

Magic is a sort of tricks and evil for me. I don't like it, for it causes many people to fall on sinning. It exist throughout the world.

Magic, or magical can be anything. It can mean something that can't happen yet has happened anyway for some people. Or, it may mean some kind of belief in a thing that is not common or universal to everyone. For example, a person who is healthy and strong may survive in a very bad environment where there's an epidemic or mass sickness. That person is "magical" compared with others.

Yeah, magic/the supernatural

I believe in magic. There's a difference between intuition and magic. When someone who's never known you tells you specifics of your most kept secret, that's magic, but when your best friend does, it's intuition.

This is magic i would believe but its always interesting to watch the tricks.

Yes magic is reality even holy books approve this fact. piety and evil exist side by side.So magic is the devil's weapon.we can't deny this reality. Evil people often use it to achieve their aims. Though it can not harm anyone without God permission.
Make your ideals high enough to inspire you and low enough to encourage you.

Not magic necessarily, but I do believe in God and his spiritual powers, which is very magical. Prophecy is really interesting to me, especially when it comes true. Psychics can be real and very accurate. There's a lot of magic in the world; I love it.

In believe in magic in this sense.
But if it's the regular magic talked about in books and movies, I don't believe that one. Yet, if one refers to spiritual powers and abilities as magic, I believe it exists. It really just depends on what sense we understand magic in.

No I do not believe in magic, or at least not in the sense that everyone thinks of. I am a Christian, so I know that strange and odd things can happen, and that God can make anything happen. I do believe that people can see angels and I even believe people can see demonic things or even what they would consider to be ghosts (which I believe to come from the devil and not God). Many of these type of things could seem as if they are magic, but I do not consider them to be.

If advanced and sophisticated technology can be considered as magic then I believe in magic.
