People on this forum don't believe in magic, and they look down on people who do.

If you talk about magic here, you will be mocked and insulted. I'm sorry that's the way it is, but I think you should be warned.

I have nothing against magic. Huge fan of Penn and Teller, and I was gutted when Doug Henning died so young.

I even perform about a dozen illusions myself (nothing fancy - card tricks, cups and balls, that sort of thing).

I'm a lifelong magic fangrrl.  I'd love it if magic was real.  However, critical thinking compels me to push that possibility firmly to one side until a consistent testable and falsifiable mechanism for magic can be empirically demonstrated.

For now, the best I can do is to view magic as "headology" - applied psychology and social engineering - in the spirit of Granny Weatherwax from Terry Pratchett's Discworld series.

RE: spiritual atheist with cramp
Welcome aboard... what kind of black magic? We talking ritual, ceremonial, sympathetic, intuitive, shamanistic, behavioral, whatever else? Any particular tradition, or a more personal syncretism?

I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
