As I understand as of today, Karma is a consequence of your actions, modified by the intention behind them. If your intention is to do bad, it doesn't matter how many intermediaries you use.
At one level, Karma exists in your mind. As in, every thought and deed modifies your mind slightly, leading to a domino effect that you experience later on. It exerts itself from the unconscious level of your mind. It is inescapable, since you generally aren't even aware of it.
At another level, you could think of karma as payment for getting work done. Say you want to do xyz for abc reasons. You will move in that direction (may not happen if your movement is not sufficient), but you'll need to pay for that. Karma is the payment for that. This may not be an entirely accurate portrayal though.
There are other levels I don't understand.
Karma has nothing to do with New Age. They're just the latest ones to copy the concept, and did a poor job at that. Just like they copied Yoga but butchered it into some kind of stretching routine. It is a millennia old word that comes from the Sanskrit language. It is not at all a simple concept as has been made out to be. If you care to learn, I'd suggest going to the primary Indian sources.
