Magic itself is the art of producing illusions as entertainment. It is obviously real because it is in existance. They are illusions. I do not believe there were such things as wizards who could use wands and such to do things and make things happen at will. I believe the only form of "magic" is God, and the only one capable of performing God-like happenings is God himself. Illusions are meant to decieve people into thinking it is actually happening; but the great thing about it.. is that it is not.

So my obvious answer to this is NO magic isn't "real" per se. The illusions are what trick people into believing it is. But it isn't.

but if it is an illusion the happening of the illusion was real not the actual content of the illusion

OF COURSE it's real. It happened. It is in existance. It was made BY a human being. The content of the illusion would be real as well. The perspective of a person and how they would see the trick is what is NOT real. Because what they are seeing isn't really happening. THUS, illusion.

but if it is a illusion yet it is unexplainable most people figure out card tricks in a matter of hours but if something goes beyond that what if the illusion itself is real and the actual magic itself is real too god could give power for anyone to do anything and magic could be not really illusions but just a test of power

Magic for entertainment is real as in tricking the eye and mind, but the idea behind magic for example the actual ability to make things disappear is not. You can trick people in many different ways but it isn't tangible.

magic is more like an old synonym for the word illusion. Science and Illusionists have replaced "magicians," I've always thought of magic of more in the sense of a supernatural power that can be tapped to cause otherwise impossible things to happen.
