According to Noahide researcher Michael Dallen, even fake magic tricks, if done to deceive people into believing in sorcery, are a violation of Noahide Law. 

Some authorities include deceitful "magic" — sleight-of-hand or sensory illusion tricks — in the Torah prohibition here. That is, not tricks designed just to amuse or entertain an audience, but tricks meant to genuinely deceive, to permanently overturn the audience's view of the world as a well-ordered place, to make them actually believe in occult powers and in the more-than-human powers of the trickster. At their worst, these same acts — this extremely wrongful practice — might also be seen as violating the more serious prohibition, against sorcery, below. 

You shall not suffer a witch to live. — Exodus 22:17

• Sorcery is a capital crime in the Torah.

(Dallen, 2003, p. 282-283)

  1. Do you really believe and hope that Americans will one day give up their First Amendment rights?
