what kind of magic do you believe in?

[blue_banshee]

lots of things can be called magic. lots of things are truly magical. the universe and its elements are complex enough for a fascinating and colorful array of infinite possibilities. with infinite possibilities, there are also infinite occurrences. such is the nature of time. with an infinite number of events, some of them will be incredibly improbable. but they will happen anyway. it is inevitable. three monkeys with three typewriters will eventually produce the complete works of shakespeare. the truly impossible thought is that nothing improbable will ever happen to you. fantastic things are happening everywhere, right now, and I think of that as magical.

I see a difference between believing in the noun "magic" and the adjective "magical" I believe in magical experiences, but not in magic. I agree that all the things you have listed are indeed magical, but I don't think they are caused by magic.

Perhaps it could be sorted out to say: I don't believe in the art of magic, but I do believe that occurrences can create a feeling of magic.

if there are magical things, there is magic. purely from a grammatical point of view, the adjective can not exist without the noun. I stick with what I said previously- I do believe in magic, only not the way harry potter defines it.
