It went for me around 9 years of age. Soon after that God and the like went out the window too. *shrug*

I stopped believing in Santa when I was 6 or 7 because he just so happened to use the same wrapping paper that my parents used. I stopped believing in god when I was 13 or 14, I still however invoke his name to get all the stupid people on my side though.

I pretty much 100% agree with NewClassic, the magic is gone... but you can always create new magic yourself.

When I was six I apparently used the phrase 'Illogical' to describe Father Christmas. I have no idea how I picked it up, but it means that the magic died before it really began. Didn't really bother me, though.

Well, I stopped believing in Santa when I was nine, if that's what you asking. However I still have hope that there's something out there that is more powerful than me (unlike those who believe we are alone in the universe and just made of shit dirt, or we are the new specie of monkeys). If I stop believing this, it is because I died! Period.

Anyways, I never believed in the freaky psycho tooth fairy, because who the hell would want my teeth for money! LOL!

(to all those who say I can create magic myself, I tried to make me fly and now my knees are poking out of my chin :S)

I stopped believing in Santa when I was about 5, I still believe there is a god, simply because some of the stuff that happens to me is too ironic and convenient to be a coincidence. Plus, it's also nice to have someone to blame when things go wrong.

I stopped believing in Santa around 9. I never really believed in the tooth fairy or easter bunny. as for God however I believe and for the record most Christians aren't stupid or irrational some but not most.

Why not believe in something. I'm not trying to convert anybody, but why go through life handling everything on your own. Sure there ignorance, but strong beliefs creates stronger people imho.

I think that it doesn't stop, I stopped believing in santa when I was about 10, and after that I helped my parents to keep my brothers believing, and I think that's what the magic is.

I'm such a corny b*****d... lol

I never really believed in Santa and the Easter Bunny but my parents never pretended they were real anyway.

I always kinda knew that Santa never existed as a small child. Same thing with the Easter Bunny and stuff like that, they're all just tools that the government uses to goad the good people of America to buy overpriced pieces of malformed plastic for their screeching offspring, and to make more Darwinists(no offense to any Darwinists here, but I'm just saying. You're tools of The Man, like the people who make Christmas plays into "Winter" plays, and ruined MTV, and kidnapped Shamoo, and slip micro-chips into your toilet paper!)...... So, around 3 or 4, I think.

Santa still exists for me. But more like an ideal rather than one person actually doing that stuff. Christ, even God can't attend to everyone's needs after all.

What died for me the moment I heard about it was the Easter Bunny. Come on. A rabbit that spreads out chocolate eggs? That doesn't even make sense.

And also never ended up believing the Tooth Fairy because I didn't have a chance too. In here, some people have the tradition of picking our milk teeth and making a sort of necklace out of for storage only purposes. I ended up being born in one of those families.

I don't think I can point to a certain time in my life and say: "That's when I stopped believing".

I guess if I ever truly believed in anything, it was who we call "christkind" (might translate to "baby jesus", and takes on Santa Claus' function in Germany), and similar "anthropomorphic personifications", like the Easter Bunny or Saint Niclas.
Now that I think about it, these are probably the only "imaginary" (everything imaginable is real in some way ;) ) people I ever truly believed in in the way society would have expected me to. I even scattered carrots around our house each Easter Eve.
Besides them, I always firmly believed in science. I know that lots of people say you can't actually believe in scientific things because they can be proven, but I did anyway. My "bible" was a tinkering book with relatively harmless experiments in it, and my electronic circuitry set was a kind of altar to me, to stress the metaphor a little ^^

I guess I did believe in god though, and in a way I still do, and I feel sorry for him, really. It's not nice what the church did to him.

I believed that my cuddlytoys came to life at night to protect me. Maybe they did, I don't know.

And today I see Optimus Prime as a kind of religious icon ^^
Really, I think he's one of the most morally superior fictional characters ever created.

well the magic died for me over about a year as i slowly started to notice the little problems(read:fucking stupid ideas) with easter and santa died when i found a label on one of my presents from him that said "IKEA UK £3.99" so i figured my parents must have bought it, either that or santa is a cheap bastered. As for the tooth fairey i never really belived i just sort of went along with it for the money.

I can't say, with any certainty, that "the magic" ever really died for me. I dunno, call me a sap if you'd like, but watching a bunch of kids sprinting around the yard screaming and pulling colorful plastic eggs from obscure spots on Easter always brings a certain kinda joy and serenity to my day.

That, and receiving gifts, no matter how they're gotten, or who they're from, is pretty freakin' cool.

That, and I'm a fiction writer. Writer's pen strokes are those that bring magic into the world [http://www.amazon.com/Lord-Rings-50th-Anniversary-Vol/dp/0618640150/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1220379569&sr=1-2] and bring epic, galaxy wide conflicts [http://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Force-Unleashed-Del/dp/0345499026/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1220379641&sr=1-12] to readers' eyes day-in, day out. I don't care if life occasionally takes a shot at a child's innocence. It happens every day, but magic can still be find in today's dry and dreary world [http://www.amazon.com/Good-Omens-Discworld-Neil-Gaiman/dp/0441008615/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1220379949&sr=1-5], especially if you look for it.
That's me.

Mind you, in the name of free stuff, I never publicly expressed my disbelief in Santa or the Easter Bunny.
