Usually magic begins with simple telepathy experiments, the production of talismans, telekinesis experiments and the like.
However, these beginnings, which mainly show that magic is possible, can be increased significantly - first by practice, then by recognizing one's own soul, and finally by one-pointedness, invocations, presence, and the like.
Thus simple, ordinary magic can eventually be increased to extraordinary magic - to "miracles" such as firewalks, spontaneous healings, and materializations. For this, no craftsmanship, no special rituals or spells, no secret traditions and the like are necessary, but a certain consciousness, which in the Kabbalistic tradition is called "Da'ath". This is the state of letting go and of boundlessness.
The way to it can be sudden - which can be felt as a jumping into a bottomless abyss. Or it can be approached gradually - in which case it can be one of the most pleasant states of all ... a smile like Buddha, a boundaryless consciousness like the gods have, a fully conscious collective subconsciousness ... just Da'ath ...
