Magic

From SourceryForge

According to Aleister Crowley, Magic - or Magick, as Crowley would use - is "the Science and Art of causing Change to occur in conformity with Will."

Magic is sometimes distinguished from Magick - especially in the case of Crowley - by identifying it with illusions and sleight-of-hands rather than practical magick.

Please see the entry on Magick for more information.

(Disambiguation)

Magic is the use of symbolism to effect change through unseen means and special innate principles to achieve specific, intended results. Typically this resolves itself through what is known as spellcasting or ritual action.

Magic (stage) is a separate but overlapping activity based on illusions used to provide entertainment. It is typically associated with legerdemain, juggling, and prestidigitation.

Comparably, Magick is a system of occultism created by Aleister Crowley, which see.
