How likely are you to consistently beat Magnus Carlsen without assistance?

With the Chess World Championship behind us people are afraid of a missing Mag.

20/0 wins from Magnus in recent major events.

Impossible to beat him consistently now?
All I would need is a baseball bat. And maybe some help tying him down.
>Impossible to beat him consistently now?

Who was beating him consistently before?
Give me some beads and a lawyer to sue him after I win, and I can do it.
Well @Clearchesser You do have to play him in order to beat him' . Geller's advice in The Application Of Chess Theory regarding beating Worls Chess Champions ,,, You gotta play them at least in Simuls @Clearchesser
This one is tough to call. On one hand it's true that MC is super talented and many people consider him the GOAT. But on the other hand lots of amateur online players improved a lot due to the sheer number of courses available today. Not to mention everybody can get very good advices on chess forums ("I need a new opening against 1.d4"). Once the amateur players wins a game or two and gets into a streak everything is possible but I would still give MC an edge due to his vast experience.
