Do I believe in magic? First off, how do you define magic?

But unless you mean magic tricks on stage, I'd be agnostic at most.

If I believe in magic, its only in the "sufficiently advanced science" sense.

Again, 18 months before he resigned, Nixon had a sky-high approval rating of 67%. Harvey Weinstein was winning Oscars until one day, he definitely wasn't."-John Oliver

It's less the usual 'I cast fireball' and more 'I summon and empower Abraxes, who is emblematic of an unmastered force in my own psyche that I need to harness for a purpose'. It becomes an interesting take on the ability of the human mind to create and empower alternate selves and voices and hand them control...
I love this explanation, you win the thread man.
