The "magic" done by stage magicians are illusions. Tricks. They are not real.
If you say the above you will also have a scientific problem by the need to define that illusion how it exists ?
Some easy ones are tricks some are not
The floating man will not tell what he is doing , but the scientific explanation in the link is impossible The person appears to raise no weight. He keeps his body shape.And he does it for a long time.
Science does a mathematical magic trick, similar to levitation, called relative reference. The trick is based using energy signals and only the eyes to define motion between references. The trick works by leaving something important out of the field of view. This sets of hidden wires is called conservation of energy, through inertia and momentum. For example, say we have a car and train in relative motion. Both run very quiet and smooth so it is hard to tell motion, based on any sense of feeling; inertia. We have only the eyes and can measure a relative velocity V from either reference, but we cannot tell who is moving with our eyes alone. The trick has to do with energy conservation. If the train is moving, based on the accurate tracking of the fuel used to set up the entire experiment, the amount of energy as kinetic energy for the train moving will be much higher, than it would be for the car. We see relative motion but energy conservation sets a priority that is not relative. If these hidden wires are known in advance, the trick does not work. If we look out into the universe, we have no clue of energy balances, since the hidden wires are out of view and the universe can appear to have no center of gravity, that is implied by energy conservation. This trick fools most of science until they consider energy conservation.

Isn't our modern"Science" the practical accomplishment of all the ancient dreams of "Magic".
This short video explains a lot about what magic is.//www.youtube.com/watch?v=86kp10cboOQSo for those who don't accept magic, the title could be changed toNot accepting magic? Why religion?
Magic makes use of the sense of sight.
If you consider applied science, such as engineering, one often has to create or innovate things that are not yet in existence. One cannot use sight, since it does not yet exist. Instead, you take the religious approach of hunches and intuitions blended with experience. Like a little god, you try to go beyond nature to something never seen in nature. After it works, and others can see it, then they jump on the band wagon and call the final product science. But we only got there; eureka, based on hunches and intuitions of what may be, but which originally cannot be seen to prove it can exist.
For example, nobody has proven that dark energy or dark matter exists.
Darwinism uses the same approach, since it cannot be used to make accurate predictions,
The main difference is sight is more connected the ego and the conscious mind, while the inner vision and intuition is the gateway to the inner self and the unconscious mind.
I do not have any source in which the magician himself tell its reason .
