I'm glad this topic was discussed. I used to be a street magician and that lead me to study magical theory and how it relates to perception. I have a few thoughts I would like to share: 1. This was touched on but it's worth stating more clearly: magical performance is like acting in a movie. While you're watching it you suspend disbelief and engage in it as though it were real. The sin in "magic" is in either deceiving people as to what is really going on or engaging in actual ungodly spiritual practice. 2. Sean kept going back to blind spots; in terms of magic/illusion we have the main one that Joshua mentioned is attention. The movie Catch Me If You Can is all about this. Another is speed (the hand is quicker than the eye). Another is actual line of sight. If you can see the card in the magician's palm, then to your brain it simply doesn't exist. But in terms of how this translates to life more broadly, I think a huge one is again, attention. Christian life is all about keeping our eyes on Jesus and not the waters beneath us. The modern world is all about distraction and that's the key takeaway. This also works on a purely mental level too. We're surrounded by signage and lights etc and we just take it all for granted. Same with advertisement; even when you're not aware of it, stimuli get lodged into your brain and can have an effect and create cognitive biases. Every presupposition we have should be interrogated. 3. In having studied magic in a performance sense, and the occult (both academically and unfortunately personally when I was separated from the Church) I can see how little understanding there can be among Christians about these two forms of "magic." Secularism and Occultism are two realms through which the Enemy attacks God's children and both need to be understood and resisted. Unfortunately, the word "magic" is an area where these two realms intersect and a sort of bait and switch can occur. People will get into horoscopes or tarot from a secular mindset and take it as a very superficial thing. For most non-believers it never goes past this and they openly mock anyone who "actually believes in that stuff." But to the more spiritually minded, these are doorways to a secret world that promises to solve their hardships in life and answer their questions. And the worst part is it can offer a lot to people who are searching for meaning. A person can see new wonders in creation, and find hope and community and even better themselves in some areas. But it's always at a cost. And the debt isn't collected on until a person has gone very far down that rabbit hole. This is why how we live as the Church matters. The cunning of apologetics is needed to defeat the subtle arguments of the Occult. The beauty of our worship is needed to outshine the aesthetics of esoteric traditions. And our communities need to be more loving and less condemning (only God is the judge of a person's heart). For that last point, I am NOT saying to be "affirming" or soft on peoples "identities" or "lifestyles." But Jesus who was God himself, seemed able to maintain relationships with prostitutes and the like. Too many people run away from the Church because they feel hated and attacked. Thanks again for this excellent video! God bless all of you!
People like you disgust me. You are definitely a Christian if you practice magic, you are only a religious person. Repent and do something meaningful with your life.
As far as his profession goes, I would think most if not everyone going to see a magician perform knows it’s all illusionary and knows there being “deceived” in a way which means it would cancel the deception itself out completely. The only time I would say that magic is a sin is when it’s done spiritually, as in witchcraft with performative magic (mostly) is not that in the slightest. Just a ‘slight of hand’ performance
Using the “name of Jesus” to perform ‘supernatural wonders’ is the “magic” that Christians need to be most concerned about, especially when piety performances manipulate the vulnerable and discredit faith.
There's an interesting point in JP Moreland's book on miracles that I'm reading where he talks about Jesus' miracles. He used to think the miracles proved Jesus was God because he was doing them from his divine nature. But he now believes Jesus was performing them from his human nature in total dependence of a filling from the spirit. (And that view doesn't compromise his divinity) It's interesting. I mean the apostles and other Christians were then doing the same types of miracles - even raising from the dead. So, is there anything even remarkable about Jesus miracles (I mean in relation to other miracles performed by other Christians with the spirit, I'm not suggesting there's nothing remarkable happening!)?
Saying the Bible categorially prohibits anything *called* magic is just an abuse of language. I've even seen people condenming names that are twice-removed from the witchcraft meaning of magic.
Dark Magic is referenced in Scripture but In God's Eyes Scripture let's Us know We shouldn't and are not to be involved in anything affiliated with Magic as it can be a doorway to allowing The Demonic into Your Life(Mediums Necromancers Foretellers Divinations Astral Projection Users Reiki Users Are known Examples of People We as Christians Shouldn't Affiliate With)
Ignorance of christian beliefs is a stumbling block for many nominal christians. Believers, I included, need right teaching and sermons. How many pastors, priests and elders were and are fully trained and grounded in the Bible? Let not the blinds lead the blinds.
I would make a distinction here between illusionists and magicians. They are two different things all together. Illusionists practice physical and psychological manipulations, while magic taps into a spiritual practice that is demon influenced.
Hi Angie. Thank you for your comment. In the entertainment industry that I am part of, an illusionist is actually synonymous with a stage magician, whereas magician would be anyone who does close-up or stage or any performer of the magical arts. And most people in the industry are aware that what we do have secular explanations instead of supernatural ones.
Deception by definition requires malice and ill intent on the part of the deceiver. Performing magic or playing sports is predicated on the goodwill of the participants and the desire to compete and entertain
But the magicians of Egypt did the same with their secret arts; Exodus 7:22a Then the magicians said to Pharaoh, “This is the finger of God.” Exodus 8:19a
Working in the secular world as a Christian you have to practice 'Prudence' or the world will walk all over you, cancel you. In entertainment Joshua Ng has to go further with wisdom and protect his heart too!
I am extremly disgusted with this topic. There is no acceptable explanation for this form of entertainment, especially when the name of Christ is added to it. Lets stop packaging witchcraft and sin.
The magic required to miraculously heal injuries, turn water into wine, or walk on water is much different than the magic used on other occasions. That's why its okay sometimes but not other times. What exactly is different about it? Well duh. Some magic is done by Jesus or his disciples and other magic isn't. That's obviously the difference.
I'd be interested to know how Joshua would categorise a "Mentalist"? We have a well-known guy in Ireland who's very popular, and, from what I've seen, I would have concerns that he uses hypnotism and possibly psychic powers at the very least. Have you heard of them and if so, what would be your take on this? Thanks! 🙏🏼
Hi there. I am Joshua, the guest in Sean's video. Thank you for your question! Mentalism is a subcategory of the magical performance arts. It is characterized by a performer apparently being able to obtain inaccessible information from his subjects. In fact, the showpiece that I did in the beginning with Dr. Rae, where I apparently read his mind, could be considered mentalism. Without exposing the methods that mentalists use, most of us have secular explanations as to how we get to know certain information. Mentalists rely on certain human tendencies and knowledge to achieve these effects. Funnily enough, Holly Pivec and Doug Geivett in their book "Counterfeit Kingdom" cited how NAR "apostles" and mentalists both use the same technique to apparently "divine" the scenario of an individual. This is not to say that all apparently supernatural events could have a secular explanation, but sometimes that is more probable than others. In terms of hypnotism, I have once watched an instructional video on how to do it by a Canadian mentalist called Spidy who does this really well and tours all-across Canada and the United States doing this. As I understood it, the method is secular and it captalizes on certain natural human tendencies to do so. But most people do not realize how much a hypnosis show actually takes in order for a mentalist to successfully hypnotize his participants. From my understanding of things, it takes on average of 20-25 minutes from the moment the mentalist calls people on stage to the moment they are hypnotized. But capitalizing on something I call "The Show-Business Effect", the audience only remembered the most emotionally memorable moment, which is the fact that the mentalist hypnotized people. This adds to the "telephone game" effect, that people only tell others the memorable moment without the unmemorable details.
@joshuang6896 thank you so much for such a comprehensive, thoughtful and detailed reply - that's very helpful, especially when I'm sure you're extremely busy. I'm going to come back to this comment and re-read - I feel I have more questions, but I totally accept and understand if you're too busy to answer more. However, the impression I'm getting is that you're saying most of the skill is being well-acquainted with patterns of human behaviour and using that to portray an illusion. I certainly feel happier with that idea 🙂 I'm pretty sure I've also seen a British mentalist - Derren Brown, conduct what i think he described as a mass séance (??) in the basement of the Royal Albert Hall (edit: apparently very haunted), with multiple groups being around different tables, which began moving (it looked more like the movement of Ouija Boards). Some of the things I've seen him do, do seem to be like black magic, but maybe it's just *very* clever illusion, too. Thanks again, Joshua! 🙏🏼🙏🏼

@@elizabethryan2217 Hi There is nothing "black magic" about what Derren Brown does. It's a combination of illusion, slight-of-hand, attention control and suggestion/ influencing, showmanship and, yes, a bit of trickery (like clever editing of video).

Are you living in some kind of alternate reality? The laws if physics are what they are, a miracle would involve breaking those universal fundamentals.... which is highly unlikely, maybe even impossible. Hence why there has NEVER been a confirmed miracle. Ever.
we are all being fooled by the greater mind, I was trained by God for 6 months, I learned many things, I was given gifts and abilities, I should be a holy man. I got to see the truth behind Christianity. Jesus was created by this Mind to get people to act better, as people are not good. I was promised greater miracles. only a Greater Mind who can fool everyone into believing could do this, I had powers for 6 months, I can't get those back, wish I could be the Greatest Person to Ever Live, but I can't get those powers back, I can't do miracles
Magic and sorcery are much the same, both of which have to do with a person evoking demonic power for his own purposes. The same can be said of religionisrs who rely on the anointing of religious spirits to empower their preaching. The Philippian girl of Acts chapter sixteen is an example of how it plays out. Everything she said was 100% correct and was 100% the truth, but it was a religious spirit speaking through her.

None of the TH-cam religionists have an anointing of the Holy Spirit, so if they want to stay in the limelight they're pretty much forced to rely on the empowerment of religious spirits. In case you don't already know, the religious spirits are the highest echelon of warrior/foot-soldier demons in the kingdom of darkness hierarchy who are meticulously groomed by the kingdom of darkness overlords (aka principalities/ fallen angels per Ephesians 6:12 in the King James Version) to know how to mimic the Holy Spirit when necessary (some of them can be very convincing), which is done mostly through human mouthpieces operating in soul power and presumption "Who have said, with our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us?"

TH-cam was concocted by the kingdom of darkness overlords (aka principalities/ fallen angels) to be propped up as a forum for religious spirits to speak through hand-picked human mouthpieces in order to acclimate Christians to soul power ministry that is energized by religious spirits. And it is working famously well for them. Only an outpouring of the Holy Spirit can interrupt it. With that in mind I think we should all be praying and asking the Lord to please send the end-time outpouring of the Holy Spirit.
Funny how none of these so called "magicians ", will ever show the audience or the rest of us EXACTLY how it's done, or how he magically knew the card...🤔. God forbid, they'd actually have to get a REAL JOB, AND ACTUALLY WORK FOR A LIVING, AND BE A WORTHWHILE CONTRIBUTION TO SOCIETY!!

Ask yourself if you would still follow the teachings of Jesus if the miracles weren't literal. That reveals the true state of your heart.

Given the current physics all miracles of Jesus are theoretically possible and infinitely likely.
