Definition
魔术 (mó shù) refers to stage magic or conjuring — a performance that creates illusions for entertainment (e.g., card tricks, disappearing acts). This differs from 魔法 (mó fǎ), which means supernatural magic or sorcery (as in wizardry or spells), and from 魔力 (mó lì), which is the magical power or charm itself.
