	Magic (illusion) - Enpsychlopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Magic or conjuring is the art of entertaining an audience by performing illusions that baffle and amaze, often by giving the impression that something impossible has been achieved, almost as if the performer had magic or supernatural powers.
		The purpose of a magic trick is to amuse and create a feeling of wonder; the audience is generally aware that the magic is performed using trickery, and derives enjoyment from the magician's skill and cunning.
		One principle that underlies virtually all magic tricks is misdirection, which is the act of drawing the audience's attention to one location while, in another location, the magician performs a crucial manipulation undetected.

	SingaporeMoms - Parenting Encyclopedia - Magic (paranormal)
		The conceptual relationship between religion and magic is similar to the relationship "religion" and paganism, wheras "religion" refers to a system of established beliefs, and "magic" and "pagan" are terms used within these religions to refer to extracultural beliefs and customs, or particular aspects of those beliefs which are conflicting.
		From the point of view of any established religion, the terms "magic", and "wizardry" connote beliefs which are held to be inferior to true belief, and hence are considered "false belief" or heresy.
		In this sense, the term magic is typically outdated, although in the direct quotation of religious scripture may see some limited use.
