I don't think it's frightening at all. Because it doesn't really matter on our level.
Your hand is your hand. And it has five fingers. And you cannot change that and create a 6th finger, for example, just by thinking about it. Doesn't work. The same for all the other magical claims. Doesn't work since they're against the Newtonian laws.
The World, and Existence itself, maybe something amazing, weird and even in a sense 'surreal', but the laws of Newtonian physics apply to us. All the time. It's just the way it is.
