I believe that anything we believe has power, generally will.

As an example, as a child my mother as a distraction told me that if I put my hands on an area of my body that hurt (I got migraines from age 5 forward) and willed it to feel better, it would. I actually believed this, why? Because it started at such a young age and it worked, because I believed it would. To this day it at least seems to lessen my pain. In some books that would be considered "laying of hands" a magical act.

I feel things like lucky clovers and lucky rabbits feet work in this same way, we believe they will grant us luck, so magically they do.

I'm not sure that means magic exists, it simply means that the human mind has far more power than we give it credit for.

I wouldn't buy a magical talisman no. If you truly want a magical talisman, I say make your own, save money. I don't however think duping people who want to be duped should be illegal, though I don't think it is here. The same way it's my own fault if I fall for a get rich quick scheme for example, it's my fault if I fall for a magical item sale. Either way if it granted me some comfort in hope, good use of cash.
