What is magic?

He took a diamond ring, made it disappear, made it appear in the middle of a tomato he sliced before us. He told us to think of a flower, rub our knuckles together, and there it was! The fragrance of that flower on the back of our palm.
He called a friend, asked her to swallow a softball, of course she didn't. He then, proceeded to make her cough the ball out!
Are there magician's like him? No. of course not. Even he said that it's just an art he's mastered. But his dexterity, the ease with which he seems to have mastered the art--it seems just like magic to me.
