Created page with "The Torah<ref>Shemot 22:17</ref> forbids any form of magic and it is a very serious sin that deserves capital punishment. According to the Rambam<ref>Rambam Hilchot Avoda Zara..."

New page

The Torah<ref>Shemot 22:17</ref> forbids any form of magic and it is a very serious sin that deserves capital punishment. According to the Rambam<ref>Rambam Hilchot Avoda Zara 11:9</ref> this prohibition applies even to slight of hand since "black magic" or real magic is all fake and the Torah is warning us not to engage in silly practices of slight of hand.
