# magic, magician #
## Definition: ##
The term "magic" refers to the practice of using supernatural power that does not come from God. A "magician" is someone who practices magic.
* In Egypt, when God did miraculous things through Moses, the Egyptian pharaoh's magicians were able to do some of the same things, but their power did not come from God.
* Magic often involves casting spells or repeating certain words in order to make something supernatural happen.
* God commands his people to not do any of these practices of magic or divination.
* A sorcerer is a type of magician, usually one who uses magic to do harm to others.
