Magic And Mysticism

[seffy]

Is magic simply slight-of-hand tricks performed by performers and con-men or can people really use mystical power. Can some people really predict your future simply by looking at where the stars and planets were when you were born? Or is it all just trickery and generalisation?
Discuss.

Smoke screens and optical effects. That's what I think.

Excluding the idea of some kind of magic being a sixth sense, such as telepathy or ...crap I can't spell it, but where you can move things with your mind.

Otherwise, I think it's just optical illusions.
