If You really think deconverting you gives us sleepless nights, better think again. We are merely trying to free your mind from the cobweb of indoctrination. It is your choice.

[size=15pt] To all the atheist in here, you just answer the OP's questions and stop derailing the thread cos it seems that's what you know how to do best each time you come across a mentally challenging questions which seems to debunk your widest idealogies and perception. [/size]

Whatever.
Magic TRICKS are ofcourse possible.
I know one Alfa whose magic is to deceive people with dubious predictions.
I know one whose specialty is for curse. He can curse you eh. Funny thing, he will mix up the curses, cover all grounds. Sooner or later, one of them will catch yougrin
Jokes apart. Supernatural magics are fairytales. If someone cast a spell on you and it starts working immediately, he has drugged you before. Trust me, I know.

PS- drop the condescension.

Debunk indeed!!
Now, go ahead and claim your God is a magician......in a circus.

The question is for lack of a better word....not very smart. It's like asking what does a Muslim think of Thor. Is Magic some kinda irrefutable truth? Everybody knows magic tricks are just that, TRICKS. 'Real magic' is just science that is not yet understood.

@Vescucci

Mind you the question is not as dumb as you are. It is directed at Nigerians who claim to be atheist without having a clear understanding of the fundamentals of being one. Since we all believe there is magic in spite of the fact that some claim magic trick is magic but the generally accepted fact is that there is Magic Black or White..so the question is with what powers do magicians not tricksters perform their magic?
Re: What Do Atheist Think Of Magic? by vescucci(m): 10:15am On Jun 30, 2012
You're the one who has accepted that magic exists. Besides, any atheist can argue that he simply does not believe in God and say he believes there are supernatural occurrences. This is not a very good argument but it suffices to refute what you're saying. I don't how you came to believe it is generally accepted that there is real magic, black or white. That's just your belief along with a multitude of others and not atheists. If someone claims to be atheist but it not displaying atheistic beliefs and characteristics, that's his problem and not the problem of atheism.

I'm not an atheist by the way. But I have no problems with them

I will for once stoop as low as Christian folks when asked a question like this .. hey Christian zealots, what do you think about FAITH.. it is the bedrock of God's unfathomable gift to man and his own innate powers abi. it has been demonstrated countless times throughout the Bible. now explain faith and prove it under lab conditions. cause a dead man to rise from the dead with nothing but faith. practically. we can engage all NL Christians in this exercise grin grin grin grin grin

To my grandma, the cell phone is the greatest magic that oyinbo has ever conjured.

It is still magic when you see a 747 jumbo jet or An Airbus A-380 take off and land.

Do you know the kind of precise magic or sorcery that it takes to shoot a rocket from a nasa base on earth and have it land at an exact spot some 500 million miles away in mars? It is much easier to shoot an arrow from a village in Imo State and have it hit the bulls eye in a remote village in Australia.
That is magic.
What other magic are you referring to, and what does it have to do with atheism?
Re: What Do Atheist Think Of Magic? by Nobody: 12:01am On Oct 12, 2012
Well magic is simply illusion, hypnotism and so on. They are pure works of art and science used to manipulate and baffle the human mind.
For more on this u can do some research on derren brown, penn and teller, chris angels and the list goes on.
