      Hi iqramahmood,
      There are certainly magic tricks, but these are all just illusions, sleight of hand, and other clever trickery. Some are pretty impressive though!

      Some people claim they can perform genuine feats of magic, but when challenged with scientific testing, they are invariably proved wrong. There’s noone out there with supernatural powers.

      Hi iqramahmood,

      I agree with James V, but it is a shame, I’d love there to be magical powers (ok I’d love to have magical powers!)

      Hey iqramahmood,

      I suppose it depends what you mean by magic. We know that people donthave magical powers but magicians can do things that our mind can process and it does fell like its magic. We know its a trick but we cant explain it!
