Magic is everywhere

I’ve come across a surprising amount of magic in my non magical reading of late.

For example David Gemmel, author of Legend, cured himself of cancer using a kind of hypersigil in the form of a novel. It's a siege kind of story, and in the story they win the siege, and he "won" the cancer.
Paul McKenna in "Change your life in 7 days", talks about these AMAZING SYNCHRONICITIES when he was doing all this NLP and hypnosis stuff.
Scott Adams, the writer for Dilbert, writes his precise will down repeatedly and accurately on a piece of paper 15 times everyday, and it works!

You gotta love applied magic goin' mainsteam,

So has anybody else come across this kind of stuff?

I remember reading a story years ago that the actor Jim Carey wrote a check to himself for the sum of 3 million dollars when he was an unknown.

Several years later he made 3 million for a role in a film (it might have been The Mask, or Ace Ventura).

I came across a very interesting example recently in Robert Fisk's book The Great War for Civilisation. Fisk is an award winning war correspondent and commentator on current affairs, and TGSFC is his magumn opus, 1300 pages of Middle East history.

It's too complex to relate fully, but at around the moment his mother died, he bashed his head on an attic beam. The resulting scar was exactly the same sixe and length as one his Dad had, given to him by a chinese POW in WW1.

The story was all the stranger for finding it in such a book.

Yesyesyes!! He would also do affirmations by the hundreds over and over, written and spoken, that he was one of the most in-demand and respected actors in Hollywood and that every director in town wanted to work with him.

On a poignant note, when his father died, he put the fake-check for $3 mil. he wrote back before he became successful into his father's coffin.
