The strongest argument against the use of illusions I have ever encountered is that someone once raised the issue that in their opinion 'Illusions are a form of deception'. My argument against that is that Illusions are not deceptions because they rely on people to enter into the so called deception by their own choice. It is much the same as what happens with a well told story. Illusions are in this context merely another form of play.

Having been involved with witchcraft (before I repented) I can categorically say that Illusions and the casting of 'spells', 'curses' and 'spiritual healing' are not the same thing. While they both use the term 'magic' to refer to their works, the two forms are in fact very different. I must note here that many illusionists and many witches prefer to aviod using the term 'magic' nowadays.

I must add here that all forms of witchcraft regardless of how they describe themselves are based on the same deceiving spiritual entities. Any appearence of power and effect are in fact deceptions. There is not room here to explain things more clearly but if any reader is finding themselves drawn to any form of 'New Age' practices, I will be glad to explain this in more detail.
