Magic and sorcery are the influencing of events, objects, people and physical phenomena by mystical, paranormal or supernatural means. The terms can also refer to the practices employed by a person to wield this influence, and to beliefs that explain various events and phenomena in such terms.
Do u believe in magic such as voodoo, black magic n stuff? And magic that could use to help others?

Origin
[edit] Psychical history
James George Frazer associates the folly of magical observations to an internal dysfunction: "Men mistook the order of their ideas for the order of nature, and hence imagined that the control which they have, or seem to have, over their thoughts, permitted them to exercise a corresponding control over things."[4]
Others, such as N. W. Thomas[5] and Sigmund Freud have rejected this explanation. Freud explains that "the associated theory of magic merely explains the paths along which magic proceeds; it does not explain its true essence, namely the misunderstanding which leads it to replace the laws of nature by psychological ones"[6] Freud empresentation is of a satisfied wish is quite comparable to children's play, which succeeds their earlier purely sensory technique of satisfaction. [...] As time goes on, the psychological accent shifts from the motives for the magical act on to the measures by which it is carried out—that is, on to the act itself. [...] It thus comes to appear as though it is the magical act itself which, owing to its similarity with the desired result, alone determines the occurrence of that result."[7]
(see also shamanism)
[edit] Etymology
The word magic ultimately derives from Magus (Old Persian maguš), one of the Zoroastrian astrologer priests of the Medes. In the Hellenistic period, Greek μάγος (magos) could be used as an adjective, but an adjective μαγικός (magikos, Latin magicus) is also attested from the 1st century (Plutarchus), typically appearing in the feminine, in μαγική τέχνη (magike techne, Latin ars magica) "magical art." The word entered the English language in the late 14th century from Old French magique.
Likewise, sorcery was taken in ca. 1300 from Old French sorcerie, which is from Vulgar Latin *sortiarius, from sors "fate", apparently meaning "one who influences fate." Sorceress appears also in the late 14th century, while sorcerer is attested only from 1526.

When the magician saws the lady in half, we don't REALLY believe it. If the magician is good, we FORGET we really don't! This is called "suspension of disbelief", and is a fundamental principle of magic. When we build a model, no one EVER believes it is the real thing, but if we do it right, they just might forget, for a moment, that it isn't! As model railroaders, we have the same tools available to us as any other magician has. Our success in suspension of disbelief hinges on our deliberate application of illusion, theatrics, misdirection, slight-of-hand and the promise of surprise... and entertainment! With these tools and practice we can work magic. As a model railroader you know that if you can imagine it, you can make it happen! As a model railroader, you already know one answer to the question "What is magic?"... "Magic is fun!".

Bilocation is the ostensibly supernatural act of appearing or being in two or more locations simultaneously.
There are some claims of this phenomenon in Christianity, which is said to take place through an act of God, typically in order to effect the conversion and baptism of the worthy who will not be reached in time by missionaries.
Bilocation is claimed to have been experienced, and even practiced at will, by mystics, ecstatics, saints, monks, and magical adepts. Christian saints and monks said to have exhibited bilocation included St. Anthony of Padua, St. Ambrose of Milan, St. Severus of Ravenna, Saint Drogo, Martín de Porres and Padre Pio of Pietrelcina. In 1774, St. Alphonsus Maria de’Liguori was reportedly seen at the bedside of the dying Pope Clement XIV, when in fact Liguori was confined to his cell at a location a four-day journey away.
The Swedish philosopher Emanuel Swedenborg was also said to have exhibited bilocation. The English occultist Aleister Crowley was reported by acquaintances to have the ability, even though he himself was not conscious of it happening at the time.[1]
Another story involves a religious sister (nun) appearing to Native Americans in the American west. (See Maria de Agreda.)
Icelandic sagas also speak of warriors who were able to fall into a trance and appear thousands of miles away in battle.
Some people (such as Robert Peterson) who claim to practice astral projection (the act of inducing an OBE) describe existing in more than one (non-physical) location at once.
Several Indian gurus have been reported at several locations at the same time in waking state, or seen sleeping somewhere while awake and active at another location. Some texts also depict a phenomenon where more than one "copy" of the subject could be seen.
The generally accepted scientific theory of physics provides no mechanism by which bilocation of macroscopic objects could occur.

Astral projection (or astral travel) is an interpretation of out-of-body experiences (OBEs) achieved either awake or via lucid dreaming, deep meditation, or the use of psychotropics. People who say they experience astral projection often say that their consciousness or soul has transferred into an astral body (or "double"), which moves in tandem with the physical body in a "parallel world" known as the astral plane. The concept of astral projection has been around for thousands of years, dating back to ancient China. It is currently often associated with the New Age movement

agaiin this is not waht magic refers to nuh.. this more to do with the things we do with our mind.. theoretically we all posess the potential to do these things.. we only need the understanding and concentration..

as for teleportation im not sure but once again it is said that we do not use ours mind anywhere close to its true potentially so speakin in that sense it would be quite justifiable to say that these aare possible but the refferal to witches and wizards well merely a name given to ppl hu can perhaps do some of these things.. in basic principal they are no different ne?
