You assume that 'no magick users' are always no magick user. A succesful businessmen or a politician using something extra to be succesful won't neither divulge his secret to the competition for fear or losing the edge or his supporters for fear of being viewed with suspicion or losing face as it'll be admission he didn't achieve it on the basis of his skill alone.
Some people did achieve some better living with magic, at least supposedly, but those are people who rather than trying to rule shit just helped themselves to achieve stable living.

>If Magick is both powerful and works how come 90% of people that study Magick are 'losers' and no one that studies Magick is hyper sucsessful? 
The thing is, most serious magic traditions require particular way of seeing the world, or even force certain traits of character. Ones that are usually at odds with high-class, comfortable living. Hell, in some one's expected to get rid of all of it, go full hobo to concentrate on spiritual. Not counting traditions where any spiritual powers you may develop are considered merely a measuring stick for your progress and any use of them is heavily discouraged as falling into a trap of your base desires.

>In fact I have actually studied it for like 25ish hours got sick of it didn't make anything happen (as far as I am aware) and gave up.
Lastly, most practitioners don't get anywhere because they neither really seriously developed any faculties nor sought the right things. 25 hours of study? Imagine magic being like solving higher mathematics equations in your head while doing parkour. You started at the beginning, elementary school level of basic addition of number 1 to 10 and then were surprised the fact that you can count up to 20 when putting your fingers and toes together doesn't get you there.
Some people spend years of daily, serious practice, in tradition that isn't bogus in the first place and which is suitable for their mentality and goals to notice some effects.

>IF
Magic is used by people who have no real life experience in dealing with their problems but trick themselves in believing they will solve their issue by doing x,y,z. With their negative emotions gone, people can achieve what they need. 

Success is perseverance, not magic. 


You have no idea what successful people do or don't do. Their secrets are all out in the open. They have no fear over that since they protect themselves behind the law and know that 99% of people will not be direct competitors since most people are lazy pieces of shit. 

>way of seeing the world
I.E., getting yourself to accept something else to change your attitude. Like I said above.

>Not real magic....
In other words, they didn't believe in their own success enough to change their attitude and achieve their goals.

To everyone else and OP. Think of magic like a psychiatric drug. It's not meant to bend over reality. It's meant for you to bend over your own psychological problems and fix your shit. Simple as that. For some, it works. For others, it doesn't. A pill for anxiety can work wonders, a ritual can work the same way in a placebo like way. If you believe it'll work, your body will accept the courage.

>You have no idea what successful people do or don't do. 
Not all of them, even not many of them, but while I consider myself some random, average shmuck I knew succesful people, be it because they achieved shit or because they had luck being born into it.

>Their secrets are all out in the open.
Nah, not of the really powerful. That's why average person cannot emulate many of them - not only lacking initial resources, but not having an in and knowledge or where to put them like those people.

>They have no fear over that since they protect themselves behind the law 
Protection from judical system and political favoritism is no protection in what we talk about. Law cannot protect you from PR, changing influences, occult. That's what people often do not realize - those rich and succesful people? They aren't really at the top of the world. It's interconnected web of investors, shareholders, exchanged political favors. Hell, far too many people are rich and succesful only because they sacrificed and submitted themselves to others and the moment they become very inconvenient, they 'shoot themselves 5 times in the back of their heads'.

>and know that 99% of people will not be direct competitors since most people are lazy pieces of shit.
Yes, but those who aren't competitors I don't talk about because.. well, they aren't competitors. I am talking about that 1%. It's enough, it's cutthroat enough that any edge there is important.

And to remind you, that again is only part, even minority of any people who'd be looking into the occult and largely not even the particular succesful minority.

>I.E., getting yourself to accept something else to change your attitude. Like I said above.
No, it's not merely attitude. I know some just try to fence sit on the magic issue and then explain it away with psychology. It's not it, there are physical, externalized effects to some of it. Thinking it's just like a psychiatric drug is a cope for those who never have seen it work.
