Some call magic as a myth. Some call it supernatural, mystical or paranormal. And some refuse to believe it is nothing more than a trick.
Most religions highlight it too. Some religions forbid it. Some deny it and some refuse to explain it. Islam however accepts magic as a truth and a fact and not a trick, and declares it as a science .. something supernatural maybe.. and Islam forbids the black magic or sorcery for its evil nature. Islam also refers to the supernatural acts performed by prophets as not magic but miracles. For example Islam calls it a miracle given by Allah to King Solomon that he could understand and talk to the animals, or that Prophet Jesus could bring a dead person to live, or the Prophet Moses divided the sea into two with his stick. A legend says it that when the Prophet Muhammad performed the miracle of splitting the moon into two, the star associated power of magic / the astrology aspect, lost its power to foretell future exactly as it used to do in the past before him.
I haven't had the chance to really study or know a true magician in today's world. Most true magic stories come from ancient times. But I do have seen some acts performed by some humans, which simply are unbelievable. I'm not talking about the "tricks", but some "real" things like walking across a wall in front of people or disappearing something with the flick of hand etc. It just explains, there definitely is some power some mystery in the paranormal world. And if that world exists, God exists too.

in deed, God exists but one doesn't need cheap tricks or magic to prove his existence. God or Allah exists in you for we are all created in his image and likeness and how we think explains his greatness. Miracles are products of one's faith while magic I believe are works of forces other than the divine powers if its true. What really separates miracles from magic is that what is the intention of the doer or reciever of such claim of supernatural phenomenon and what does it teaches us.

As a practicing witch, magic, to me, is as simple as an answered prayer, the leaves changing in the fall, or a baby smiling for the first time. Yes, God (or Goddess) has everything to do with magic, because magic comes from The Divine. I have never seen anything 'supernatural' about magic, and therefore I do not believe that magic is trickery. Magic is in everything.
