Magick is an alternative term for magic that was coined by Aleister Crowley to differentiate "the true science of the Magi from all its counterfeits". In the broadest sense, Magick is any act performed in order to cause intentional change in reality in accordance with ones will. This term is spelled with a terminal "k" to differentiate it from other practices, such as stage magic. According to Crowley it should also be pronounced differently – mage-ick – though this pronunciation is now uncommon. The letter "k" is the 11th letter of the Latin alphabet; in numerology the number 11 represents hidden energies and thereby magick.

It should be noted that Aleister Crowley merely coined the spelling in modern times, as the spelling with a final 'k' has been around since ancient times and was the normal spelling at that time. Crowley simply 'resurrected' the word to distinguish it from stage magic (illusions and sleight of hand).

Magick is not capable of producing miracles or violating the physical laws of the universe (e.g., it cannot cause a solar eclipse), although "it is theoretically possible to cause in any object any change of which that object is capable by nature", according to Crowley. This includes but is not limited to converting an object to a different state of matter; such as the power to transform ice to water. Crowley got the inspiration for the spelling from its usage by the famous English magician John Dee. His definition treats magic in the context of the paranormal and magic in the context of religion as special cases.

Despite these distinctions, specifically the assertion that magick cannot violate the laws of the universe, people often expect practitioners of magick (e.g., witches) to be able to, literally speaking, pull rabbits out of hats as they see illusionists do. Because the words are nearly identical, and the spelling of "magick" has not yet been widely accepted, some people are not aware of the differences in the usage of each term, and, indeed, tend to think they are one and the same. As a result, when a witch fails to impress with a feat similar to the sleight-of-hand trick of pulling a rabbit out of a hat, magick is dismissed as fictitious. However, if one is to make comparisons, it would be more accurate to compare magick to prayer as found in other religions rather than sleight of hand. Just as a Christian wouldn't expect to offer a prayer and open his eyes to see his wish immediately fulfilled by God, neither does a witch cast a spell and expect to see some sort of immediate and miraculous result.
