A magician was a Muggle individual who performed illusions which were designed to look like real magic, and as such tried to impersonate a real wizard.[1]
History[]
The charlatan in the story Babbitty Rabbitty and her Cackling Stump was a Muggle magician who performed a few tricks to convince the king that he was a wizard of immense powers.[1]
During the wedding of Vernon Dursley and Petunia Evans, Vernon referred to James Potter, a wizard, brother-in-law of Petunia and Lily Evans's boyfriend, as an amateur magician, an intentional and grave insult to any true wizard.[2]
