How does God feel about magic, does it exist?

Oh it most certainly exists! I was into it for nearly 15 years before I gave my life to Christ. He expressly forbids all (I mean all) kinds of magic, foretelling, tarot, etc. It is all from Satan who wants to give you instant gratification which all humans are suckers for. Magic works, it works effectively much of the time, it gets results, and it shows results...fast. Sounds great, doesn't it? Here are some references from the Bible as to what God thinks.
-Leviticus 19:26- "You shall not eat anything with the blood, nor shall you practice divination or soothsaying."
-Leviticus 19:31- "Give no regard to mediums and familiar spirits; do not seek after them, to be defiled by them: I am the Lord your God."
-Levitucus 20:6- "And the person who turns to mediums and familiar spirits, to prostitute himself with them, I will set My face against that person and cut him off from his people."
-Levitucus 20:27- "A man or a woman who is a medium, or who has familiar spirits, shall surely be put to death; they shall stone them with stones. Their blood shall be upon them."
-2 Chronicles 33:6- "Also he caused his sons to pass through the fire in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom; he practiced soothsaying, used witchcraft and sorcery, and consulted mediums and spiritists. He did much evil in the sight of the Lord, to provoke Him to anger."
That was just a few from the Old Testament...New Testament scripture is not as numerous but no less frowned upon. Some are:
-Acts 19:19- "Also, many of those who had practiced magic brought their books together and burned them in the sight of all. And they counted up the value of them, and it totaled fifty thousand pieces of silver."
-In Acts chapter 13, a user of magic is made cursed and made blind forever.
-Galatians 5:19-21- "Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, SORCERY, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God."
-In Matthew 24:24, they are given the same name that is commonly used for the Anti-Christ or followers of Satan.
There are more, but that I hope answers your question without giving you an exhaustive reference book.

I suggest you read "The Intention Experiment" by Lynne McTaggart, which is an overview of quantum physics experiments proving not only that magic exists (i.e., thoughts literally become things and affect the physical world), but that this system is an integral part of reality.
You might as well ask if god likes gravity.

I don't deny anything outright, but I do base my knowledge off experience and logic. In my experience, I've never used magic, unless you consider making my car start by yelling at it magic. And as for logic, if magic is real, it's probably a product of God or some lesser god.

Are you speaking of magic in a sense of casting spells? Because He does see this as wrong. It is explained in the Bible
Don't think that is the same as going to see the rabbit pulled out of the hat or the sawing someone if half kind of magic.

Magic, no. But God's form of magic is priesthood power. Did you know that humans only use about 33% of their brain power? I believe that when you die, God gives you capability to use the other 66% and that part of your brain is where you will be able to use priesthood power.

To the Christian God, no.

To the Muslim God, no.
To all the other Gods and Goddess of the world, yes. And they think it is a great thing because they gave us the gift of magik.

it doesn't exist, it call power
for example: demonic power and Godly power
when Aaron dropped his staff in front of the Egyptians, it turned into a snake and when he pick it up it was a staff again, that's through God's power.
when Pharaoh got his best magicians, they turned their staffs into snakes. But Aaron's staff ate the other staffs.
the magicians use the power through the devil

( Deuteronomy 19:10-13 ).....Let no one be found among you who sacrfices his son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, or casts spells, or who is a medium or spiritist or who consults the dead. Any one who does these things is detestable to the Lord.
Be blameless before the Lord your God...........<>< <><
