Is black (or white) magic real?

[Mark 13:13]

I would think the real question is what is magic? before you can discuss whether it is real or not. When the first Europeans opened fire in the America's with their guns i'm sure the natives thought this was magic. It was very real to both natives and europeans but to them it was science. To the natives it was a new power they had no experience of so magic to the europeans it was a power they understood enough to use. So are you asking do people professing to using magic have access to sources of power not generally used consciously by us non magicians ; I would have to answer honestly yes and no. I would use hypnosis as an example that would explain some, and as someone who believes in a spiritual dimension to life I couldn't rule out other sources of power that our mind properly or improperly tuned depending on your take may have access to.
