Nothing fails like prayer. Or magic, which is just a different flavor of prayer and vice versa.

When I used to be New Age I believed that not believing in magic gave you a resistance to it because Quantum...

Accepting the truth that magic ain't real was tough

I wouldn't ever do this because as soon as anything went wrong in my life I'd never be able to shake the question that it was super natural. I'm extremely skeptical and don't believe in any supernatural things, but I have a fear of developing superstitions. Also when I get really stressed about my life and feel like it is particularly unfair I start to feel like there is some sort of external source of my problems and it's malevolent. So, doing something like this would be a recipe for problems for me lol.

Reminder that there used to be a $1,000,000 prize available for anyone who could display any sort of supernatural powers that remained unclaimed for 20 years. The challenge rules required that both parties agree upon the test setup, and several people actually tried to claim it and all failed. It astounds me that anyone still believes in this nonsense and that it seems to be becoming even more popular to believe in literal magic and other supernatural idiocy.

I looked for the video and came across a reddit thread about it. Here are two really funny comments:

I think its rather silly to say the least especially since curses require a certain amount of anger and hatred that im sure next to nobody feels to this person.

Oh yeah that's why it didn't work

Magic requires willpower and intention to use properly. I doubt any of these randos on the internet actually possessed the genuine desire or emotional investment to actually curse a random guy on the internet who had heretofore never interacted with them

Anyone who actually understood this likely didnt rise to the bait.

No true witch!
