On one side it seems somewhat reasonable but it begs the question... if they're basically talking about "magic tricks" why not use the proper word: "Illusionism"

I'm probably very biased but to me, this seems like it normalizes creepy shit. Spirit cooking ? Oh yea, that's just magic, I mean "art".

This is weird, but probably harmless. Reluctantly downvoted.

No worries I downvoted myself, just wanted your thoughts on this. The intent seems very legit after all.

Is it so unlikely that they could mean the literal definition of "magic"? Just because you may not want to believe something, doesn't mean it doesn't or can't exist. To be so arrogant as to say with 100% certainty something does or does not exist just shows how narrow-minded you truly are. Especially since you cannot prove that it does or doesn't.

Are you kidding me ? Did you read the bill ?

To suggest supernatural forces may be involved just removes all your credibility. I believe some nuts believe in it and that's as far as a rational and objective person should go.

And I don't give a shit what credibility you perceive I have. You obviously are very limited in your understanding of the world.

Didn't read the bill, I was just commenting on your idiocy to automatically say something doesn't exist just because you don't want to believe it does. Keep living in your safe little world. Until you can prove for a fact it doesn't exist, there's no reason to believe it can't. If you don't understand that form of logic, you're the nut. You just don't want to believe it. Narrow-minded. But hey, ignorance is bliss. So keep feeling comfortable.

Ok, do they mean magic like pulling a rabbit out of a hat, or magic like whatever the fuck the spirit cooking lady does? Because I don't want to make a big deal about card tricks.
