Many thanks, been searching for "do online love spells really work" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Lonilley Magicify Simplification - (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my cousin got amazing results with it.
This was great, I have been researching "free list of spells" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Lonilley Magicify Simplification - (just google it ) ? Ive heard some super things about it and my m8 got excellent success with it.
I was thinking the same 😂. I'm waiting for her to ask me if I like green eggs and ham.
😂😂😂
Quick summary of this episode. In order for magic to be real, requirement is to believe in it. It's a business, not a science experiment. I am sure, there is truth to it. Somewhere...
thank you for saving me 7min
always keeping an open mind towards supernatural stuff, but never going to believe in it until i've seen it.
You should have the same criteria of bacteria and viruses you should not believe in them until you see them you should know they are living things
@@ismailmounsif1109 It's not really comparable with magic, right? Bacteria and viruses have been proven to exist with scientific methods from reliable sources. And all people have experienced Bacterial/Viral infection.
@@hcph2173 yeah well a lot of people have experienced magic from Babylon until now hmm
@@ismailmounsif1109 Yes, they claim they have. But has it been scientifically proven with concrete evidence?
@@hcph2173 you can’t prove something metaphysical with something physical because science is all about the physical world so it’s impossible and it is the wrong criteria
Obsession without vision leads to a mess! 💚
Messes are beautiful
Messes can be refined into something greater. Admittedly more slowly than vision in the short run, but exponentially in the long run.
I love messes... turn all my negative messes into positive lessons
Captivating the entire video, maybe first full ted video I've finished
umm if magic is real then why isn't my $13 Harry Potter wand killing my enemies when I say "Avada Kedavra"???
Leo Alm because your life is a lie , before you say magic is a lie
Lol another Potter-fan like me 😂
Dude that isn’t a wand............it’s a gun my dude.......put it down 🤣😂🤣
Because you get what you pay for
$13 wand only gives you a 0.05% magick boost
This exposed my linear thinking and why I really need to research on things.
Once magic becomes real it's no longer magic
Right.
Because everyone know the “trick”
Magick is not real and was never real.
Just delusions.
Correct, that is always the case when an unknown becomes known👍
By your definition you just debunked the Big Bang theory and Darwin Evolution.
But what if only one person knows yet no one else will ever know
@@ismailmounsif1109 How?
There's so much anti-magic in the world that no-one believes in real magic anymore
Agreed
Probobly cause we have science...
People who believe in magic are the people that have allowed other people to manipulate entire populations. That's how we got religion, which is the worst thing ever invented. People who believe in magic are holding the human species back.
@@keed_on_two_wheelz Science is basically a kind of Magic that has just been known and explained in books. So you can imagine the amount of the Unknown ? So whenever there is the Unknown that comes to picture, and there is no rational explanation that can be told. Then its Magic.
That is the inter relation between Spirituality and Magic. Its just separate schools of thought.
@@jonathannaughton8554 Youd only speak in such a manner because you think Religion is a bad thing for you. But like everything in the universe, For every other thrash in the world, it could mean a treasure for some. And There is also the Vice Versa, someone's Treasure could be another person's thrash.
Really depends on a point of view.
Magic is what we define it to be, and so is anything else.
Prove it.
@@bryanfreeman437 prove them wrong
@@clibothy Learn about burden of proof.
@@bryanfreeman437 just like things we cant explain we just call it magic but it can be explained by science
magic isn't real by definition
You just got my fully attention in just a first minute. Great talk
Amazing
TED speakers remind me of robots trying to be human. So scripted.
ikr
Well this was flat out a rhyming poetry. Of course it was scripted. Word for word really.
@@mrkiky yep
ExCeptionaLLy well thought out!!
thats the point to get the information out
I have an idea also known as telepathy, let's see how science can achieve that
Ayahuasca has entered the chat

It’s called Facebook. Think of any kind of product I guarantee you’ll see it the next day
I like how it is all rhyming
By far one of my favorite tedtalks
So wonderful
I enjoyed this. I appreciate this,
Magic is not real. But magick is real. I'm just saying. Believe what you believe. Blessed be 🙏❤️
@@choosingbegger9799 spelling
@@choosingbegger9799 magic is the magician pulling the rabbit out the hat stuff. Magick is manifestation, intention, energies etc
Man they the same thing. If yu want to get technical they are different, but anything “magick” is still “magic”. Who cares about being politically correct.
@@choosingbegger9799 Aleister Crowley added the "k" to differentiate what he was doing from stage magic. Also to make it a 6 letter word, and "k" the eleventh letter had special meaning to him...
Yes! Blessed be 🙏❤️
She explains it perfectly, magic is real, depending on what your definition of magic is.. It isn't doing some spell and turn someone into a frog (although that may happen in the future) i find computers to be magic actually, simply because i don't understand how this can work..
Thats true and the people think magic might not be real, believe what u believe dont follow other peeps for the sake of ur reputation and also i still believe in magic but follow ur heart to tell if its true or nah lol its long
Magic is real. Not talking about magic tricks. Talking about witchcraft and that kind of stuff. And don't tell me I don't know cause you don't who I am and who I know
Prove it.
@@bryanfreeman437 Prove what?
@@MarshallMathersthe7th That it's real.
We like to deny magick because its something we do not know. But magick can be the same as science. The sun and moon can be called magick. Magick is just energy. And the magic you see on tv? Whose to say it doesnt exist on another world? another dimensiosn? Us humans are so close minded and have such big egos we think its not possible that these other things can exist. THATS what I FIND silly
OMG YES GIRL EXACTLY, THANK YOU!!!! 🙏❤️
Tedx: magic isn't real
16th century: yes it is!!!!
Me: I want to go back to a time when people believe in magic. people in the 21st century don't believe in anything they think they know everything because of scientists
I'm not insulting scientist i actually like science I just don't like how people act nowadays.
cookiegirl and what left them ?
The real reason people doesn't believe in magic is because magic isn't used in the modern age because of the fear of being burned or killed like during the dark ages, but i do believe that modern technology has something to do with magic or at least alien technology
I agree, I'm a Pagan witch and you're right, you might not find many of us around anymore, but we do exist. And magick is so real and so wonderful but it's a shame that so many people are closed off to the idea of magick just because of modern science. But even with modern science, there is so much that we can't explain yet and so much that humanity will never be able to explain. Witches still exist though, we like to say that we are 'the granddaughters of the witches they couldn't burn' because if magick existed then, it still exists now ;D
@@lundits2154 sorry I dont want to hurt your belief
But I hate modern science
@@lundits2154 and I know how to perform folk magic spells but I want to learn high magick practitioner
That's why I am studying modern magick by donald Michael kraig
Magic is simply changing paths in the fractal that we are in accordance with.
No one in this whole world can persuade me that there is no magic because i saw how magic looks with my own eyes, just stop telling lies TEDx
Yes!
@@NightfallVeilwing I agree with that, my parents tell me not believe in it because it's "imaginary" but I know it's real and I will never stop
@@NightfallVeilwing also are you male or female? I wanna add any female magic believers to my sailor scout team
@@NightfallVeilwing I'm using a sailor guardian subliminal so far it's only me and sailor moon and I think trans might work I have no clue though
@@NightfallVeilwing I usually get in trouble when I ask "How do you know?" to my parents
I liked the glasses on her. Really suited her face
Electricity, vibration, microwaves, there is so much magick. I truly don't understand this one 🥺
electricity vibration and microwaves are scientific and detached from magick. stuff like every object has energy and you can manipulate energy is magick
@@witchycraftboi You can’t manipulate energy and magic isn’t real, grow up
In my opinion, magic is a being...Magic in itself doesnt know EVERYONE.
You have to attract and befriend.
As everything else people are usually misinformed... church,temple and everything that has to do with divine nature is a riddle,.. not easy..., and DEFINITELY REAL.
Get to know it... it's pretty cool once you fall in place 😉
I agree! :)
The Abrahamic ones demonised those who practiced magic as part of their ethnic folk faith. They knew it had power and use, and therefore set about dismantling and forbidding its use by the people. They replaced it with mind dogma ideology called religion, specifically Christianity.
@@EgoShredder i agree... Long live the king😝
@@EgoShredder I think Christians also twisted the teaching of Jesus. I think Jesus himself was a sorcerer, and he taught his apostles witchcraft thru consciousness expansion (unifying with God, source energy)
As your brain defines a perspective about things which are not true...it certainly becomes truth in its own reality because of lack of evidence and knowledge...😏
The fact that we are born and alive is magic
Why is no one commenting of her beautiful rhyming?
Everything is possible when you believe🙏
KALEX I know that’s right
@@MonkeyDLuffy-mk3px yea everything is possible maybe someone will fix it in some day
If everything is possible is it possible to make possible things impossible?
Right
@@shashankkothari8066 yes absolutely
Wonderful!
Eric Fuller shut up

Magic is powerful, it might not be seen easily but it’s there
Bruh 😂
@Ritik Gupta Are you Catholic?
If so, then did you ask the question "How did the magician's staffs turn into snakes?" If they took power from something stronger, if they harnessed energy, if they just COULD, all are magic
@Ritik Gupta I heard Heaven has at least one.
@@logicss2893 l agree with you !
BBRRRUUUUUUUUUUUHHHHH........!🤣🤣🤣🤣
If you can't see it, then how do you know it's real or has any power? Have you done any scientific tests to determine it's existence?
Yeah, didn't think so...
magic is for the weak hurt and poor
Why? You don't think strong, resilient successful people experience magic?... I beg to differ.
@@itzajdmting they aren't. They are smart enough to know magic doesn't exist
She spittin straight bars🔥
honestly i did not like this even the title dunno why they even did this video disliked
Why will every RUclips video load but this one???
The magic is the breath that flows in and out of our lungs. The magic dies with us when we die......Or does it?
What if you actually learned magic instead of running your mouth.
Why not do your research before running yours? She performs magic professionally.

Beautiful
I would love to have magical powers but unfortunately it isn’t real caused I tried
Magic IS real. Its all around us. No i'm not talking about magican magic, that sort of thing is usaully planned and proven.
I'm talking about miracles, i'm talking about what you beileved when you were a child.
You don't have to practice wicca to do it, and you don't have to be some sort of witch.
anybody can see magic if they just beileve.
Sadly at a young age are parents teach us the "truth" that magic doesnt exist, that its something you beileve when your 7 and then don't anymore when your older.
The sceptics of the world will tell you that you have to see to beileve.
but look around, not in your home, look in nature, sadly these days nature is a place we don't go very often to anymore. But its SO important that you go there and just listen to the birds chirping, the trees being blown in the wind, the grass shaking, the frogs croaking.
I'm a christan but i do truly beileve in these kinds of things, the world God made is so important. Lots of people just sadly dont realize that these days...
lastly the only other peice of advice i could give you, is to beileve. And to love others.
my favorite word is mystical whats yours?
My mum told me the REAL truth! She said, directly to ME, that magic is real! :D
I agree completely and I love observations and contemplations like this
@@just_me_melanie Amazing! 😊❤💛💜
I beg to differ I've seen the real deal and it can be scary/unsettling ill never forget seeing my bathroom door close itself and open itself I was alone all the doors where locked it wasn't an updraft or wind how do I know because the door knob was twisting it self I slamed 3 or 4 times
Sure. ;)
Is this supposed to be proof for the existence of magic or demonic spirits?
I’ve finally come to realize how true that this is.. magick doesn’t against.
I found a book titled Unleashed by Patrick Neal, by far the most powerful magic tips I've seen. Real tangible magic vs just manifesting. I seek the real stuff
WHERE CAN I GET IT? PDF?
PLEASE AND THANK YOU
Don't trust those scammers, magic is not really real, stop using drugs.
delusion is a narcotic of the intellect
Please learn about science instead of poisoning your brain with snake oil
amen
I need a copy of that speech and her number..just saying..love it
I have experienced 1 magician i will say magic is true also ever😤
Magic is just science we don’t understand yet. Can I really make magic appear out of my hands though !?
Seems like you are confusing science with reality. Science is a method of knowing limited by what we can observe. It's not reality.
Magic isn’t Science. There’s no Magic in Science lmao
No, magic is nothing because it isn't real.
Magic is real
Got any proof of that?
🙌I'm with her
This is just a poem, she doesn't even discuss the topic....
Magic=calling forth the unknown and unrevealed so it eventually becomes known and revealed.
Very nice!
I'm really not trying to be mean here, but what was the point of this talk? I don't understand what she was trying to prove. (Again, not trying to be rude; it's an honest question.)
Hello fellow army
That religion is dog poopoo
She was trying to prove magic is real
@@NathanAMeyers your face is dog poopoo
Magick
Stuff of the stars
So what did this drivel aim to achieve?
but people don't understand...........they thought we were talking about the science magic..........no.......I mean transforming, flying, go through wall, see through wall, go under ground, go under water and fire.........those kind of magic stuffs
Nope, magic is real. Once when it was my birthday, there was this guy who was our magician and me and my friends were sitting on the floor and he would come up to us and do different a magic trick for each one of us. Before this, I didn’t believe in magic. I was just thinking to myself “This isn’t real, you can explain why each one of these tricks are doing what they’re doing.” Until.. it was my turn he did the magic trick with. He gave me a single coin. He said I would have to squeeze it as hard as I can and if I did it would disappear. At this point I was thinking “Wait really? He wants me to do this and if I do it’ll disappear? This’ll be really interesting.” So I did what he asked, squeezed the coin in my hand as hard as I could. Then, he told me to stop squeezing it. He told me to open my hand and see if the coin was still there. In my point of view, I could still feel the coin in my hand, so I thought it was still there. I thought “ Aw man, I actually wanted this to work.” But, when I opened my hand, THE. COIN. WAS. GONE. I started to stare in shock. “What!? Really!? How is it gone?! Magic really is real!?” Was what was going through my head. That was the moment I started to believe in magic. That was one of the coolest moments in my 12 years of life. It was pretty cool to see it disappear. And yeah. Magic is really real, not fake.
That there, is called illusions 😂
That’s called “Hypnosis”
He hypnotized you.
Very clever mind trick ->Hypnosis.
Now That’s is real.
Thank heavens you experienced it for yourself… the magician you speak of isn’t a magician. He is a wizard with diabolical powers. they do these works with the help of spirits
Is this a Ted Talk or a Dr. Seuss book?
Magic is a category in Western culture into which have been placed various beliefs and practices considered separate from both religion and science. Historically, the term often had pejorative connotations, with things labelled magical perceived as being primitive, foreign, and Other. The concept has been adopted by scholars in the study of religion and the social sciences, who have proposed various different-and often mutually exclusive-definitions of the term; much contemporary scholarship regards the concept to be so problematic that it is better to reject it altogether as a useful analytic construct.
The term magic derives from the Old Persian magu, a word that applied to a form of religious functionary about which little is known. During the late sixth and early fifth centuries BCE, this term was adopted into Ancient Greek, where it was used with negative connotations, to apply to religious rites that were regarded as fraudulent, unconventional, and dangerous. This meaning of the term was then adopted by Latin in the first century BCE. Via Latin, the concept was incorporated into Christian theology during the first century CE, where magic was associated with demons and thus defined against (Christian) religion. This concept was pervasive throughout the Middle Ages, when Christian authors categorised a diverse range of practices-such as enchantment, witchcraft, incantations, divination, necromancy, and astrology-under the label magic. In early modern Europe, Italian humanists reinterpreted the term in a positive sense to create the idea of natural magic. Both negative and positive understandings of the term were retained in Western culture over the following centuries, with the former largely influencing early academic usages of the word.
Since the nineteenth century, academics in various disciplines have employed the term magic but have defined it in different ways and used it in reference to different things. One approach, associated with the anthropologists Edward Tylor and James G. Frazer, uses the term to describe beliefs in hidden sympathies between objects that allow one to influence the other. Defined in this way, magic is portrayed as the opposite to science. An alternative approach, associated with the sociologists Marcel Mauss and Émile Durkheim, employs the term to describe private rites and ceremonies and contrasts it with religion, which it defines as a communal and organised activity. Many scholars of religion have rejected the utility of the term magic, arguing that it is arbitrary and ethnocentric; it has become increasingly unpopular within scholarship since the 1990s.
Throughout Western history, there have been examples of individuals who engaged in practices that their societies called magic and who sometimes referred to themselves as magicians. Within modern occultism, there are many self-described magicians and people who practice ritual activities that they term magic. In this environment, the concept of magic has again changed, usually being defined as a technique for bringing about changes in the physical world through the force of one's will. This definition was pioneered largely by the influential British occultist Aleister Crowley.
Okay Mr. Smarty pants. Nice subject, i learned alot more about magic then i did before.
Science is the study of the material plane while magic is the study of the abstract plane
@@mr.merlin2524 There is no “abstract” plane. Everything is made of material
There is no " material" plane every thing is energy and thoughts create reality. Read about Paracelsus if you are unsure. His mind stated it wasn't what the substance was made of, but the energy it provided that the medicine worked.
That one tiny atom or molecule which started this all, is matter/energy. 🤷🏼♀️

Last 2 comments should look at @Honey Lope’s
Ok...
If magic is real, why does scientist still think there's no God
You mean,
They Know there isn’t.
And this is the delusion of the magic people.
And why they wish it were real.
People eagerly claim magic to be real to support the lie of a God.
There is no god. Sorry to disappoint you
@Moth🏳️🌈 scientists are responsible for that phone you are using
Science demands a lot to get the results we want. Magic is a lot more miraculous.
There’s no magic in Science
You said magic is science that haven't been explained, right? then you are saying that magic does indeed exist.
Your words about magic being absolutely fake and unreal is contradictory. Just because there are things not explored by science yet or otherwise doesn't mean the unknown/magic don't exist.
Why dose this sound like slam poetry😂
Wow she really spitting straight fire
Wow people in this comment are more delusional than my grandpa with Alzheimer’s.
😂
True lol
People need differentiate between magic and tricks.
You guys aren’t gonna believe me at all but if you were me then yeah
I was 6 at the time and I was on the school bus and there were these two other 13 year old girls and one of them teleported out of nowhere. The girl that teleported just dissapeared in front of my own eyes. I didn’t see them go under the seat at all. E
So, she's a poetess?
so chemistry is not real
You know what am asking when i ask is Magicka real ?
I'm not interested in other ways of looking at it
Just a straight yes or no
Yes
@@earfwerm how can you prove that?
Tell that to my dead grandma lol

You can't revive anyone dead, release wind out your hand, make fire from spells, or anything
Wow 🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨 I must be Death
All she did was rhyme words together lol voodoo is nothing to fear. Anybody can be a witch
Tbh. Its almost like study for a test
The more you read out the question the more you memorize it
An it stays in your head
So I mean Really we all might be witches lol
OK why did you say magic is not Real you know I believe in magic and it is
My new favorite rapper
😂😂😂😂
No I don't like green eggs and ham. I want a breakfast burrito 🤣
Yall don't even know as i am one who can use magic. In my world there are 3 different magic light,dark, and the one i created called lojic, i created this with light magic.
My magic can only be accessed by me and who i choose.
In other words light and dark magic is available to everyone you just have to believe and train, you need no chants nor no sacrifice except when using dark magic, all you need is your soul now do your best and become one with magic, be careful cause the one who created light knows when you do dark, also last thing i know who created light so heed my words as the forces osf life are watching, me too.
she rhymes better than eminem
This talk was provided upon no real premise it was biased toward every action being magickal in nature which is not the case. It was written with the skeptic in mind only to affirm physical actions as real, no grimoires no spells no rituals no chants, and NO MAGICK.
Anyone say what you want,magic is real and once someone find out only the ones who always believed and believe to that day will be able to control it. There must just have be some kind of protectors,trying to find the perfect person who is gonna find about real magic. The time is ticking,but only for the ones who believe - T. Ergang
What proof do you have for the same though?
@@vinayseth1114 You don't believe me and probably ever won't,but its just instinct,I know magic is out there.

once someone actually, tell the truth about this earth- and that some of us are really elf etc. ???
Aaah shuddup
Ununderstandable
The REALEST, TRUST & ONLY magic is having children! I NEVER experienced any childhood traumas myself, all of mine came when I moved to a major city, and it has put me off gaining that MAGIC for myself out of safety for me and them.
Thank you for knowing about the realest magic!
Peace
definitionally, not the only magic. As said in the video, magic is just science we don't understand. we don't understand how the mind works yet, but i can imagine that the effect that having children has on a person's life is likely quite magical. Magic is a wider concept, which contains all the unknown potential of universe.
Nothing is impossible just improbable when it comes to certain things
There are plenty of things that are impossible. Magic, for instance, is impossible.
