What Makes Magic

[AntonelaMaria]

While interesting take, I think you are overthinking it. For me, manifestation has nothing to do with magic or fantasy.

[Blackstenius]

I think manifestation is a real thing. However, I believe magic is made up of more, and this I draw parallels with the Almighty God, Creator of the Universe. I believe that God is also a magician, the Master Magician capable of bringing anything out of nothingness to existence. Just like he "spoke the universe into existence"; the same way I believe magicians muster some tricks and use their word of mouth to make things seem real, though they are mightily incomparable to God.

Magic is something imperceptible to the eye, and cannot be used consciously by everyone. It is incredibly powerful and even more so for those who have the joy of knowing how to use it. It is something that goes beyond common logic and beats all odds.

[Soma Ezenwanne]

I just understand that magic is anything outside the normal and could be induced for a positive or negative aim depending on who is wielding such power.

[Okocha Victor]

This is also one of the questions I have lurking at the back of my mind. The dark magic we know about, whether used for good or bad, what is the inspiration for it or its sources? I know that our belief 90% of the time gives vitality to these things. In other words, if you don't believe it wont work for you.

[Joyce Nwaogazie]

Magic can be a physical manifestation of what we have inside us. Magic is something out of the ordinary.

[Hannah Mae Fabro]

Magic doesn't exist if you don't believe it. But once you believe what magic could do and offer you, I think that's when the magic happens.

[Amy A Drake]

I find magic to depend on the context and setting of the story. For example in China I interpret magic to be like folk religion which is an umbrella term for superstitious local practices like deities worshipped daily and festivals. In Japan, I view magic as shinto practices similar to the folk religion, but with spirits for every living thing. In Europe, magic is like pre-Christian paganism with sorcery and witch craft that certain people and entities are connected to.

Magic and Imagination are almost the same but not the same. There is an external force and mystery behind magic that makes things possible. Not all things imagined becomes possible
Although both requires unwavering belief but they still defer from each other.

[Oyedeji Funmilayo]

Magic is spiritual, magic goes beyond mere imagination. Sure to perform magic one needs to be focused, but no matter how determined we are our imagination can't do everything.

[Jessica Cole 3]

That was a very thought-provoking question. Manifestation as magic? Makes sense to me. There are people in the world who things just go well for. Not to say that they don't experience bad days, but their goals typically are accomplished. If someone is able to manifest change, it takes determination, consistency, and an unwavering belief. This isn't easy to maintain, especially through obstacles and initial failures. So, manifestation can seem like sort of magic is being wielded. I'm on board with this observation.

[Jenni Schmitt]

I do believe in manifestation. I also believe in the weight of thought. The simple strength of belief is magic.

[Oluwasegun Timothy]

I hold a deep belief in the power of intention and the ability to shape our reality. Through focused thoughts and affirmations, we have the capacity to attract what we truly desire. As for the extraordinary wonders found in Delvin's realm, they exist solely within the realm of fiction. In the real world, however, the concept of magic has no tangible existence.

[Jenni Schmitt]

Magic is the weight of thought- sometimes the combined weight of thought of many. Belief is one of the strongest forces in the universe.

[Despina Samartean]

Magic can mean a wide range of things to different folks. My opinion on what magic is, is that it is anything we want, and it eventually manifests.
