Have any one of you experienced something like it?
Your stance on magic and supernatural stuff ?

Define magic.

Yes, there's a lot of sufficiently-advanced technology out there. The internet is basically magic.

If you mean something that we can see working entirely outside of and separate from the observable, testable, and verifiable laws of the universe, then no. If we can see it working it's observable and if it DOES work it's testable and verifiable, and anyone who published would open up an entirely new field with their name on half of the new discoveries.

It's a fun concept for fantasy novels, where the challenge for the author is to either construct a setting alien from our own universe where magic can exist or invent conditions or conspiracies where magic can exist secretly in our own universe. But unlike gods, which suffer from usually not being falsifiable, the problem with thinking that magic exists in our universe is that it would be all-too-easy to demonstrate.
