Witchcraft is a topic that has been shrouded in mystery and intrigue throughout history. The concept of people harnessing supernatural powers has fascinated and frightened individuals for centuries. One aspect of witchcraft that has been particularly captivating is the idea of love spells, specifically the practice of casting spells to manipulate or control someone's emotions and desires. This type of spellcasting, referred to as "witch kove kftama cast," has both proponents and critics. Proponents of love spells argue that they can be a powerful tool for individuals seeking to enhance or attract love in their lives. They believe that through the use of specific rituals, incantations, and ingredients, they can tap into the mystical forces of the universe to influence a person's thoughts and feelings.
“Careful, careful, watch what you say
That’s my heart you’re talking to this time.”
But for all intents and purposes, Pilot joined the ranks of the wonderful one-hit wonders in 1974, with their ever-alluring Magic, and that s not a bad trick at all. He is formerly the editor of Goldmine, CMJ and Relix magazines, has written for dozens of other publications and has authored liner notes for more than 80 CDs.

Pilot’s ‘Magic’ Trick: Never Believe It’s Not So
It’s one of those songs that you might not hear for years, but then when you do, it’s as if you’d heard it just yesterday. “Magic” has levels of familiarity embedded into its signature melody and its engaging, uplifting vocal. Within a few seconds—if you’re old enough—your mind will place it smack dab in the mid-’70s, when the song scooted up the U.S. Billboard singles chart to #5.
If you’re the sing-along type, you won’t have to tax your brain very hard. Its chorus will come back to you instantly: “Oh-ho-ho, it’s magic, you know, never believe it’s not so,” they sing, and why would you? They’re very convincing.
The couple of verses are simple too: a few lines about loving to sleep in and listen to the “crazy music playing in the morning light” and loving a sunny day. and that’s all there is to it. That. and a very catchy guitar riff. Even if you’re too young to remember when it ruled the radio, it’s pretty difficult to resist.
But who exactly are these good-timing optimists? You draw a blank. Could it be early ELO? You go to YouTube and type “ELO magic” into the search bar. Nope, only “Strange Magic.” Wasn’t them.

Now your curiosity is piqued. You bring up Google, input “magic” and the search engine returns more than three billion possible solutions. Hmm, we’re gonna need to narrow this down a bit. How about “magic song 1970s”?
Well, what do ya know? It’s the first result. Turns out it was a band called Pilot . And that leads you down another rabbit hole, because unlike, say, ELO, you can’t think of another song by Pilot and have no clue who they were or where they’re from or what became of them. Inquiring rock fan minds want to know.
Turns out they were Scottish, from Edinburgh to be precise. Formed in 1973 by bassist/vocalist David Paton and keyboardist/vocalist Billy Lyall—both of whom had been “substitute members” (whatever that is) of the Bay City Rollers—they were joined by drummer Stuart Tosh, who also sang. Additional non-member personnel, most notably guitarist Ian Bairnson, filled out the sound.
They cut their debut, Alan Parsons-produced album, cleverly titled From the Album of the Same Name, in 1974 (in the U.S. it was just named Pilot, because we’re no fun), and released “Magic,” credited to Paton and Lyall. It rose to #11 in the U.K. but did even better in the States where it reached #5 on July 12, 1975.
And so Pilot was off, ready to conquer the world! Except, they didn’t. A track called “Just a Smile” went absolutely nowhere, anywhere, and although their single “January” actually topped the British chart, and the Australian chart, the Pilot light didn’t spark a second time in the U.S.—“January” flamed out at #78.
There would be other efforts, and a handful of albums that never got off the ground (Pilot error?) but by 1978 the band members had landed in other places. Tosh and Paton joined the Alan Parsons Project (Tosh also worked with 10cc), and Paton appears to still be active today. Lyall died in 1989.
But for all intents and purposes, Pilot joined the ranks of the wonderful one-hit wonders in 1974, with their ever-alluring “Magic,” and that’s not a bad trick at all.

They argue that attempting to manipulate or control someone's emotions through magical means is unethical and potentially harmful. They believe that love should be based on mutual respect, consent, and genuine feelings, rather than artificial manipulation. Critics also point out that love spells may not have any real impact on a person's emotions and can ultimately lead to disappointment, heartbreak, and even legal consequences if used without consent. It is important to note that the practice of "witch kove kftama cast" and love spells is not universally accepted or recognized. Different cultures and belief systems have varying views on the legitimacy and morality of these practices. In some societies, witchcraft is seen as a form of spiritual empowerment, while in others, it is condemned as black magic or witchcraft. Ultimately, whether one believes in the power of love spells or not, it is essential to approach the subject with caution and respect. Manipulating or coercing someone's emotions is not a healthy or sustainable way to build a genuine and fulfilling relationship. Instead, it is advisable to focus on personal growth, open communication, and building connections based on trust and mutual consent..
