Is it wrong for a Christian to be doing magic tricks for children with no demons or spirits just coin card tricks when you believe the devil does demonic magic but this is entertainment?

You ask if a Christian should do magic tricks but it would be more helpful to drop the word magic and say can a Christian do tricks. There is a huge difference between magic and tricks. A magician like David Blaine performs tricks that give the illusion of being magic. It is not magic it is simply a trick. There is nothing in The Bible that states Christians can not perform tricks. The only Biblical argument could be that you are lying, because a lot of tricks require that you state things that may not be true. Such as I am holding one coin when in fact the reality may be different. I don't think this argument holds water if the context of the performance is clear that you are going to trick
( decieve ) your audience for the sake of entertainment. Everyone understands that this is what a magician is doing.
Opinion
As a Christian, I would make it clear that it is a trick, an illusion. Deception is of the devil. Even very young children are capable of understanding the difference between make-believe and reality.
Opinion
In today's time, it is not wrong to do magic to entertain children. But 2-3 thousand years ago, if you do your magic then, you will be burned at stake(!) or, worship as god....
Opinion
The Bible clearly states that REAL magic, which is done by the power of REAL demons, is wrong, sinful, and should not be done. The truth then is still the truth now. But illusion is a totally different thing. There is nothing sinful about illusion, as long as it is clearly stated that it is illusion and not done by the power of demons.

In the world of performing magicians (tricksters, amateur and professional) there is a branch of magic for entertainment that is specifically geared to teaching moral lessons of Christianity. That kind of magic is sometimes performed for children by people of the cloth on the view that the illusions capture attention, and the object lessons are memorable.

Demonic oppression is an old Christian superstition. To have a case of demonic oppression you first of all have to be superstitious enough to believe in it.

Demonic possession in any case isn't referred to as rapture. What you are talking about are two completely different things. The rapture, according to some Christian denominations, is when Christ comes back seven years before the end of the world and "raptures" up all of his followers. Afterward there are seven years of horrible punishments rained down on the rest of mankind. Note that not all Christians believe in the rapture; the rapture and hellfire doctrines are confined mainly to the more fundamentalist Christian churches.
