What's JF's take on this?

He didn't just confuse the 魔 in 魔法 with 無 did he?
I can't think of any way that 無い would come first in that sentence unless it was broken Japanese, since as far as I know "Life without ~" can be written as ～のない生活 or ～のない人生.
Unless of course it is ok to say 無魔法 or 無奇術, in the same way that you can say 無意味...
I don't really have much experience using 無 as a prefix so I can't say for sure if that is ok.
