Magick vs Magic.

Magick, in the context of Aleister Crowley's Thelema, is a term used to differentiate the occult from stage magic and is defined as 'the Science and Art of causing Change to occur in conformity with Will', including both 'mundane' acts of will as well as ritual magic.

Crowley wrote that 'it is theoretically possible to cause in any object any change of which that object is capable by nature'.

That is, certain people use word Magick to describe Reality Changes & word Magic to describe pulling rabbits off' their hats on a stage. Other people make no such distinction - they use word Magic to describe both.
