The problem with magic is that it remains undefined, yet most people would probably think that if an object can appear out of nowhere, that's magic. Quantum Fluctuations, anyone?
Alternatively you could say that if you change something over here, and it cause an effect over there in an instant (faster than light), that's magic. Quantum Entanglement, anyone?
You could say that if you make an object disappear, and never come back... that's magic.
Beyond the Event Horizon of a Black Hole, anyone?
Of course both Quantum Mechanics and Black Holes are well-understood phenomena amongst scientists. So it isn't really magic to scientists.
I think "magic" depends on the individual perspective and definitions.
Way too nuanced a question to survive this thread.
I think the only thing this might be overprioritizing is the idea of people having 'supernatural' effects on the world around them rather than the idea of grapping with either truly complex systems or both truly complex and conscious. I think that's the place to start from where the broader topic gets more coherent.

So far, the only "magick" I have ever witnessed was based solely on misdirection, pareidolia, sleight-of-hand, and technical trickery -- nothing "supernatural" was ever involved.
You know, if you were to travel back in time 500 years ago with your glowing smartphone they'd probably consider that to be 'magick' and would have you burned as a witch.
If you traveled back 500 years you would see real magick…

Probably. Agrippa's Three Books of Occult Philosophy were published in 1531 and that tends to be a major touchstone for a lot of the alchemical and theurgic work that came later.

At My Age And Stronger
And More Imaginative And
Creative Than Ever Before With
The 'Applause', The Same for Those
Who Have Eyes and Ears to See What i Do This Way...
True, About All You May Be Able to See is the Epigenetic Effect
of me Still Leg Pressing Up to 1520 Pounds at Age 61; And Again
i am Surely
Not The Only
Example of This In How
Many Ways Human Transformation
Will Come When All of Human Potential
Is used Through REAL EPIGENETIC EFFECTS
AND AFFECTS OF HUMAN LIFE THROUGH

And i Damned Sure Wouldn't
Flim Flam Anyone's Money for

A Golden Age
That Works Perfectly
Enough for me Through
The Exercise of Perfecting Relative Free Will...
DOING Great Free Works of Life, Some 'See' And Some Do Not...

It's Not About
Hanging on A
Cross Waiting
For Someone Else to Solve Our Problems...
That Only Injures/Kills Humans in the Real World Now And Then...
Both In Metaphor of Mind of Soul And Mind of Body too For Real...
Other Empirical Evidence As Fully Documented is The Autistic

i am a refrigerator child in English Gematria equals: 1200
im not saying the numbers are evidence im cold, its my posts..
And my parents aren't the chief offenders here.
Also, the war on autism has spread its net into war on introversion, and promotes shallow pleb insanity over dedicated thinking.
Its got something to do with leveling and Munchausen syndrome by proxy

HeHe, That Was Then
Now is Now 'Big
Brain Man'; Yes,
And That's My Whole
Point Transforming
AND KEEPING, EXPANDING HUMAN
POTENTIAL AND YOUTH NOW FOR REAL...
You Are A Very Intelligent Dude; Don't Be
Obtuse or Do; It's Easy to See Through With SMiLes
Hehe...
Paradoxically So
With SMiLes too...
Get It... The Invitation Still Remains...
So Many People Have Given Up on 'the Promise',
Forgotten 'THE INHERITANCE' Years ago...
They Sit Behind Screens And Rot
Domesticated in Mechanical
Cognition Mind And Body
REAL Soul Separated...
Sadly
So...
Sadly
So... True
More Than Ever Before...
This Is Little to No REAL Human Potential Realized Now...
At Least Not as Long as Humans Become Machines...
And Only Extensions of the Tools They Create...
From Words To Atomic Bombs And The Such
All of What Clothes Us Away from
Nature Freer as Living Souls...
Yes, Socially Empathically
Artistically Spiritually So...
-Terminator (A Living
Version Now)
i'll Be Back...
i Always Come Back..

your the great architect in English Gematria equals: 1500
Hehe, "Katie Mia FredericK" in English Gematria
Equals "888 A Trifecta of Infinity Standing Tall"
(Thanks to You Bringing to my Attention Now
That English Gematria Exists With Numerical
Values of the English Language Multiplied
By 6 As K11 X 6 Equals K66 For Real)
Or "3 Crazy
Eights"
Doing Free
Will From Birth;
Just Like the Challenges
In Numerology Dedicated to
my Birth Name of 0 For the
Fool Tarot Card At Birth Again
Giving me 'Crazy 8' x 3' Free Will
Again With Number 1 x 3; Hence,
Yes, 0, 1, 1, and 1 Whole Life Challenges
WHere 1 Is Only Affirming in Meaning of What
i Wanna Do; Nothing or All In Life From Serving
Shoes in a Bowling Center for Almost 2 Decades
For the Military After Graduating With 3 Degrees
Or Writing the Longest Long Form EPiC Poem in Human
History; Yes, Once again 9.6 MiLLioN Words in 96 Months
And 15,566 Miles of Public Dance in the Same Span of Months too...
And if Not For You
And Your Special
Interest Now in
English Gematria,
i Would Have Perhaps
Never Heard of the English
Gematria Synchronicity of my
Pen Name That i Selected With
SPiRiT Breath Within As A Full Soul
Name Whole, A Tri-Fecta of Fortune
in MaGiCK iNDeed...
In The End And
The Beginning
And Never
Ending Start
It is the Life We
Move, Connect, And Co-Create
In Meaning and Purpose of Feeling
And Sensing Life That Counts the Most;
Yes Indeed, True Will With Great Works That
Become Fruition of Our Souls in Art That Others
May Connect to And Thrive Higher in And Others May
Miss As
Deep
As the
Ocean is High
in A Blue Sky
With Sun Shining Within...
That True Some Will See And Others Totally Miss...
And That's OKaY, For Every EYe is A God EYe Unique to Be And See i Am..
Yes, This Fits in with the Definition of MaGiCK That Aleister Crowley Saw
As His Deeper Human Potentials; Yet Sadly Again Raised With A Dark Triad
And Indeed A Mother As Cold As A Freezer Who Called Her Son An Evil Biblical Beast...
She is Part
of What
Took
Him Down
A Dark Road
of Soul Breath Stealing
Substance And Behavioral
Sex Addictions He Never Escaped
Truly Leaving Behind Some Magnificent
Poetry For Those Who Could See Through the DarK Parts of His Soul...
In this Life; There are Many Paths; The Ones Who Lift Us Higher are Stars Above...
As It's True
Science Agrees
With Aleister Now;
We aRe All Star Stuff
Birthed By Star Death
Crucible Fire Resurrections
As Stars Are Truly Both Flowers
And Seeds From the Super Nova Explosions
Where That Iron And Atoms Still Flow Through
Our Blood Streams And Core of Earth Perhaps
Made Up of More Than One Star Flower and Seed
And Galaxies We aRe Within Yes Star Flowers and Seeds
More
Are
We...
Some Folks
See Smaller Now
Some Folks See
Practically And
Virtually As Large as
God Always More Moving
Connecting And Co-Creating Now...
Chapter II, Verse 76 From Aleister Crowley's "Book of the Law":
76. "4 6 3 8 A B K 2 4 A L G M O R 3 Y X 24 89 R P S T O V A L.
What meaneth this, o prophet? Thou knowest not; nor shalt thou know ever.
There cometh one to follow thee: he shall expound it. But remember, o chose none,
to be me; to follow the love of Nu in the star-lit heaven; to look forth upon men,
to tell them this glad word."
The Answer Is it Means Whatever
You Want it to Mean; Your Meaning
And Purpose in Life to Move, Connect
And Co-Create Your Relative Free Will As Star
of God Unique Star Flower And Seed Same Now...
For However You Paint The Symbols That Provide
The Feelings and Senses of LiFE'S Meaning and Purpose BRinGinG
Bland
SHaDES
Of Purgatory
Grey Through BLack
Abyss of SoUL So Cold
Or True Even A Greater Trifecta
Beyond Rainbow Colors Now Real
of "3 Crazy Eights" In Free Will NoW in
English Gematria That Unwittingly, Yes,
Yet Intuitively, i Chose Holy and Sacred
In Divine True Will for me And Sure With a Little Help from my FRiEnDS...
Indeed, It's Nice to Be back on ToPicK of MaGiCK; Some Will See, Others Will Remain
As Blind
As A Rabbit
Still Dead In A Hat...
Yet True Now i Spell
MaGiC With Emphasis
On Capitalization Instead
of Needing another K for
True Katie Mia FredericK, Both
Begins
Ends
And Starts
With A K, the
Alpha 66, Of
English Gematria
Through and Through...
Or Of Course i Could Design
An Entirely New System; Yet of
Course in Some Cases, i Choose to Do Nothing Different At all...
For Those Who Have Already Prepared A Way For What i Do Different Now...

Magic, fairies, ghosts, religion; all fabricated by humans to wield power over vulnerable people. As we grow up people who call themselves 'parents' read us stories about monsters and the like which dont appear to exist, however since adulthood I now realise they do exist. Only the human race has the ability to behave monstrously. They are the politicians, the religious leaders and the next door neighbour who are constantly looking to exploit vulnerable people.
Everyone is a suspect
