Is it okay to use 'magic' and be Christian?

When I was much younger I played 'magic'. We basically just pretended to have magical powers. It was actually fun. But then my teachers told me I was in trouble for starting it because "black magic" is against my religion. It wasn't black magic it was pretend. But to tell the truth I've always felt magic and wanted to know if I did use spells and charms is it evil? Why isn't it okay? Why does it matter I'm Christian? I'm not doing anything wrong and I'm not a pagan; I still pray and believe in God. It sounds stupid but it matters to me. Can I practice magic and be Christian at the same time?

You don't have to believe it but it's true. I mean not like in Harry Potter but as in lucky charms and stuff like that.

You don't have to believe it's all your choice. But if you're going to try crushing my spirit because I don't think it's crazy it not know what one direction is you'll have to try harder.

No it is not good to practice baca use practice leads to something else so why get started even if you say it won't happen to me you will get to a point of "what if I try this" the bible is against deception or making fools of your brother magic is just another word for trick so if you like to trick and deceive and you say you are a Christian answer this what do you think the devil does?

verses 19-21 Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are adultery, fornification, uncleanliness, lewdness, idolatry, SORCERY, hatred,contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of god. Man that was a mouthful. Now I know this isn't real serious sorcery but I wouldn't pretend to be a sorcerer anymore. God might overlook it if you do.

It's not sorcery! Argh God why can't he see that I'm not being evil I just love Halloween?

All of that is of satan,If you are Christian then you already have the ultimate power over all evil in using Jesus name that most Christians don't realize seek .first you need to repent your sins,church not needed,and ask to be forgiven,then you need to forgive everyone that has ever sinned against you,If you want God to forgive your sins,you first must forgive others for there sins,( this is a must )then ask the Holy Spirit, to come upon you and lead you to your spiritual gifts,and pray for them everyday,and they will come,you need to seek them most people don't,In the last day's God will pour out his spirit,and many prophets,many will be chosen but few will awnser.
