Question:

Has anyone denied the existence of magic?

Answer:

Yes,
the Mu’tazila have denied it. They say that it has no reality, rather it is merely deception; it is only calling falsehood truth, creating illusions, and making one believe in the non-reality of something. It is a kind of lightness and sleight of hand.
