When God created the universe He did not use magic.  He planned in advance the rules that would govern energy, atomic cohesion, biology, entropy, matter, physics, and quantum physics.  Then Christ, who lived in the realm of spirit, created a corporeal reality--from the absoluteness of the infinite void that lacked energy, time, space, and matter.  He willed into existence the energy and the particles of matter that now comprise the massive cosmos that surrounds our little planet.  Then, applying the laws of physics and biology He manipulated the very molecules of His cosmos and He created life itself.

God did not use magic.  He created physical laws, and the energy and matter that obey those laws.  He manipulates this physical realm by ordering the energy and matter particles that He brought into existence. 

When God performs miracles, He commands the very atomic and molecular elements to reorder themselves so that the result is compatible with His physical laws even though there were no physical means or abilities to have achieved that result.  For example, water is hydrogen and oxygen.  When Jesus changed water to wine, He had the knowledge and power to reorder every molecule to be reassembled into wine, the resulting substance of which obeys and is compatible with the physical laws of this universe even though there was no physical means to have instantly reordered the molecular structure of the water.  That is a miracle.

Magic is an imitation of the miraculous.  By magic I am not referring to the slight-of-hand misdirection-trickery of illusions by David Copperfield.  I am referring to actions and results that cannot be accomplished by ordinary persons.  Nor am I referring to the use of science and machinery by which one can convert coal to electricity.  I am referring to only the use of will and knowledge.  No human has the knowledge or the power to reorder matter or energy by mere use of their will.

Yet, the Bible speaks of Egyptian magicians having performed acts that mimicked genuine miracles.  Today we hear about impossible things that happen when children play with Ouija boards.  How can such things be if humans do not have the power of will or the knowledge to reorder molecules and energy?

Satan is the prince of the power of the air.  This is a limited authority he has for a limited time to be sure.  Yet, at his disposal are legions of angels (one third that followed him from heaven) called demons.  Scripture is replete with comments about the angels of God and the demons of Satan being able to do what man cannot: reorder matter and energy. 

When a human “magician” (not an illusionist doing slight-of-hand) appears to perform acts of true power, or a Ouija board answers a question on its own, the power is that of a demon taking action.  Humans can do no such thing.  There is no magic, only the operations of demons.

Some will argue that controlling or commanding a demon to get things done is magic.  After all, what are spells and incantations except verbal petitions to demons to make something happen?  Such persons who offer supplications to demons do not understand that men cannot control or command demons.  The demons are controlling and manipulating them.  Satan is the prince of the power of the air, not the other way around.  Demons appear to “obey” the human so as to deceive them and bring them more and more under demonic influence and more and more into the chaotic thinking of evil.  This leads the human to becoming open to being possessed, the slave of the demon, not its master.

No, there is no magic, only demons.  Satan is prince (not king) of the power of the air of this planet.  And Christ is the King over all He created.  Pray to the Creator, the King of Kings, for a new heart, a living spirit, and for the forgiveness of sins, and He will save you, sending His Holy Spirit to live inside you as a guarantee of ultimate salvation and a protection against the powers of this world.  Who needs magic when God offers you a personal miracle like that?
