'''Magic''' is the production of seemingly physically impossible occurrences that conflict with the natural laws by a person or people. Magic exists in almost every religion on Earth in some form or another. The source of magic differs depending on the practitioner's religious or philosophical beliefs.
Magic differs from a [[miracle]], which is a normally physically impossible act perpetrated by a god or by a person inspired by that god. Practitioners of magic are called varyingly ''magicians'', ''[[mage]]s'', ''[[sorcerer]]s'', ''[[witch]]es'', ''hexers'', ''[[shaman]]s'', ''witch doctors'', or ''[[wizard (occult)|wizard]]s''.
Practitioners of non-stage magic will sometimes add a "k" at the end of the word, creating "magick", to denote magic that is not done to entertain or magic that does not consist of visual trickery or sleight of hand.
