The actual words and letters appeared like MAGIC. As far as the plates they were not PRESENT as a number of LDS Eyewitnesses professed! Blainerb:  I don't know who your "eyewitnesses" could have been, since Joseph Smith ALWAYS translated with a veil between him and the person recording.  The persons recording were mostly either Emma, his wife, or Oliver Cowdery.  NOONE even saw the plates he was translating until the eight witnesses were shown them, which was after they were translated.  You need to check your history, MR Expert-On-Mormonism.
