Magic is a performing art that entertains an audience by creating illusions of seemingly impossible^[1] or supernatural^[2] feats, using purely natural means. These feats are called magic tricks, effects or illusions.

One who performs such illusions is called a magician or an illusionist. Some performers may also be referred to by names reflecting the type of magical effects they present, such as prestidigitators, conjurors, mentalists, or escape artists.
