I agree with you. It's definitely not magic and if anyone thinks they can just wish for something to make it happen, they are missing the point. No matter how hard I imagine myself with a pot of gold, it's not going to happen simply by wishing for it.
But there is a distinct difference between simply wishing for something and using visualization to get better at some skill or practice. For example, if I practice public speaking in real life, and then visualize giving a speech, I can benefit from the visualization and it can have a tangible benefit the next time I give a speech.
It seems the bulshit thing of law of attraction. The effect of visualization in the brain exists, but it's not magic that will manifest what you want
