This thread has generated a lot of discussion for just being a thread in Other Voting Polls, since this forum is usually used for threads with simple answers. Granted these are simple answers, a lot of users show interest in actually discussing the belief of magic and its turned into more of a discussion thread than anything.

I'm going to leave the poll up so people can continue to vote on their opinion, but seeing as how discussion has come from this topic, I'm going to move it to Other Chat, where threads with such discussion are often kept. n_n

No, and I wish there was a more concrete option such as a clear "no" to state so.

Rolling Pichu January 2nd, 2010 11:07 PM

I don't believe in magic, I believe in illusion... like the illusion that PC is entertaining. :D

That I'm not sure about, but alchemy also involved a bit of the "Earth, Fire, Water, and Air" elements idea, which is not actual chemistry. I won't delve too much into it now since alchemy's not really magic per se, but rather philosophy and pseudoscience.

Nah its all a sleigh of hand or smoke and mirrors. Nothing like that any more. I don't remember if as a kid i bought into it much.

I guess I would say I believe in "magic" But I wouldn't really call it that. I'm just one of those people who are open minded about everything. And There is the Wiccan magic out there, stuff like that. And I do believe in it.

Idiot! January 3rd, 2010 11:32 PM

I'll believe it if I see it

kohei January 4th, 2010 2:09 AM

I'm a level 12 paladin, of course I believe in magic.

Open-mindedness is one thing and naiveté is another.

Now, I'm not accusing you of anything, I'm not entitled to... I just hope people know enough about Wicca to believe in it (and what it implies) more than Wikipedia would tell anyone.

I'll believe in magic when I see scientific proof of its existence. Until then...

Aether January 4th, 2010 7:17 PM

I don't believe in magical spells and wizards, but I do believe in a "feeling" or "presence" of magic when in a certain state of mind.

Guillermo January 4th, 2010 7:51 PM

oh my god what's with all the friggin' titles with crappy grammar in them?

And yes, I do. Though I don't consider it magic. I believe in hypnotism and all that stuff, but not like making a rabbit appear in a hat.

Anti-Hero January 4th, 2010 8:01 PM

Yes. Err, not magic magic, but mind tricks and things. I've hypnotized myself, so yeah. I also believe in Witch Craft. I'ma Wiccan, err atleast, I want to be. :P.

Harmonie January 4th, 2010 9:04 PM

There are people aside from kids that actually believe in magic?

Andyflower January 5th, 2010 11:52 PM

All unexplainable phenomenons cannot be termed a magic. For eg. Our existence itself is Magic. No one knows how we all came into existence. Did we all come into existence by Magic? What about Bermuda Triangle?

Magic is more about tricks and illusions. So, there is nothing wrong in believing it..

Ash~The Purifying Prince~ January 6th, 2010 6:32 PM

Thats a very good question and I will say; yes I do believe in magic, if there were dinosaurs, then why not dragons? xD all the talk about unicorns and othet mystical creatures and places, people say its all just in myths and stuff people once made up years ago. But personally I've always said "You just never know what could be out there" After all no one in this entire world knows every single little detail about it and all its places, so who knows. But yeah I believe in magic as well as supernatural things ^^ as crazy as that may sound xD

devilicious January 6th, 2010 6:38 PM

Magic itself is a Devil's Proof, so it can't be denied.

But ahh, it's useless, it's all useless! I won't ever surrender!

kjmj14 January 7th, 2010 9:55 PM

Not really believe in magic.
Magic is just playing tricks on our eyes believing that there's really magic... :D

ÇyänïdëÉX January 8th, 2010 5:46 PM

Sorry to be a bit off topic but the topic name always makes me laugh because it reminds me of that dexters lab episode were they go to chubby cheese for his birthday or something and then the mechanical animals start singing about magic and stuff and well you get my point i think XD

Saltare. January 8th, 2010 5:49 PM

I did. When I was about five.

nameslot January 8th, 2010 8:45 PM

Yes, I believe in the magic.

♣Gawain♣ January 9th, 2010 3:15 AM

I don't believe in magic, it's all tricks and stuff. Although I wish it's real.

But I do believe in psychics, since I've experienced it.

Kotone January 9th, 2010 11:10 AM

im sure there is magic in the world, we jus tneed to find it. so yes, i do.

You're also assuming that time (or at least, in our universe) will go on forever. What happens if the universe decides to collapse? Ever heard of the Big Crunch or Big Rip theories? You're making too many assumptions.

Also that kind of logic can't work since infinity isn't a value; it's a mathematical concept. There's no such thing as infinite area or volume. Not in the physical world, at least.

As for being on topic, no I don't believe in magic. I believe that everything can be explained scientifically or logically, even though it may not appear so at first. I'm sure you could've guessed that already :p I did believe in it when I was a little kid though. Admit it, everyone did.

Nothing goes faster than the speed of light that we know of. However, scientists are experimenting to confirm a particle that goes faster than the speed of light. :3

I do not believe in magic, I believe in illusions. There might be things that might appear to be magic, but are not.

Making medicine out of herbs was considered magic in medieval times, but is it really magic? No, you're just dropping plants into a stew.
