I’ve always wondered that if Magic exists why isn’t it more visible.
Think about it. There are plenty of people who commit heinous crimes to try to get wealthy and/or powerful. There are plenty of people who would sell their soul just to get ahead.
I’m not saying that magic and the supernatural doesn’t exist. Just why isn’t it common? Does God not allow it in most cases?
“Magic”, “witchcraft”, “Enchantment”, “charms”, “necromancy”, “astrology”, “sorcery” “divination” are Occult.
“OCCULT’, a. [L. occultus, occulo; ob and celo, to conceal.]
Hidden from the eye or understanding; invisible; secret; unknown; undiscovered; undetected; as the occult qualities of matter.
The occult sciences are magic, necromancy, &c.
Occult lines, in geometry, are such as are drawn with the compasses or a pencil, and are scarcely visible.

See:
(Daniel 2:2) “Then the king commanded to call the magicians, and the astrologers, and the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans, for to shew the king his dreams. So they came and stood before the king.”
(2 Chronicles 33:6) “And he caused his children to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom: also he observed times, and used enchantments, and used witchcraft, and dealt with a familiar spirit, and with wizards: he wrought much evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.”
(passing children through the fire is burning them alive as a sacrifice)
So “magic”- or “witchcraft” (hexing or casting spells) is in the same class with murder, hate, and drunkeness. See below:
Galatians 5:19-21
“19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.”

Just like flying saucers. Why are they only seen in remote locations like Roswell, NM or "Area 51" in Nevada? They never land at, say, the National Mall in Washington, DC or at O'Hare Airport.
