Magic \Mag"ic\, Magical \Mag"ic*al\, a. [L. magicus, Gr. [?], fr. [?]: cf. F. magique. See {Magi}.] 1. Pertaining to the hidden wisdom supposed to be possessed by the Magi; relating to the occult powers of nature, and the producing of effects by their agency. 2. Performed by, or proceeding from, occult and superhuman agencies; done by, or seemingly done by, enchantment or sorcery. Hence: Seemingly requiring more than human power; imposing or startling in performance; producing effects which seem supernatural or very extraordinary; having extraordinary properties; as, a magic lantern; a magic square or circle. The painter's magic skill. --Cowper. Note: Although with certain words magic is used more than magical, -- as, magic circle, magic square, magic wand, -- we may in general say magic or magical; as, a magic or magical effect; a magic or magical influence, etc. But when the adjective is predicative, magical, and not magic, is used; as, the effect was magical. {Magic circle}, a series of concentric circles containing the numbers 12 to 75 in eight radii, and having somewhat similar properties to the magic square. {Magic humming bird} (Zo[94]l.), a Mexican humming bird ({Iache magica}), having white downy thing tufts. {Magic lantern}. See {Lantern}. {Magic square}, numbers so disposed in parallel and equal rows in the form of a square, that each row, taken vertically, horizontally, or diagonally, shall give the same sum, the same product, or an harmonical series, according as the numbers taken are in arithmetical, geometrical, or harmonical progression. {Magic wand}, a wand used by a magician in performing feats of magic. | |

Ice owes its cooling properties to the large amount of heat required to melt it. 2. Concreted sugar. --Johnson. 3. Water, cream, custard, etc., sweetened, flavored, and artificially frozen. 4. Any substance having the appearance of ice; as, camphor ice. {Anchor ice}, ice which sometimes forms about stones and other objects at the bottom of running or other water, and is thus attached or anchored to the ground. {Bay ice}, ice formed in bays, fiords, etc., often in extensive fields which drift out to sea. {Ground ice}, anchor ice. {Ice age} (Geol.), the glacial epoch or period. See under {Glacial}. {Ice anchor} (Naut.), a grapnel for mooring a vessel to a field of ice. --Kane. {Ice blink} [Dan. iisblink], a streak of whiteness of the horizon, caused by the reflection of light from ice not yet in sight. {Ice boat}.

[Poetic] --Shak. {Ice cream} [for iced cream], cream, milk, or custard, sweetened, flavored, and frozen. {Ice field}, an extensive sheet of ice. {Ice float}, {Ice floe}, a sheet of floating ice similar to an ice field, but smaller. {Ice foot}, shore ice in Arctic regions; an ice belt. --Kane. {Ice house}, a close-covered pit or building for storing ice. {Ice machine} (Physics), a machine for making ice artificially, as by the production of a low temperature through the sudden expansion of a gas or vapor, or the rapid evaporation of a volatile liquid. {Ice master}. See {Ice pilot} (below). {Ice pack}, an irregular mass of broken and drifting ice. {Ice paper}, a transparent film of gelatin for copying or reproducing; papier glac[82]. {Ice petrel} (Zo[94]l.), a shearwater ({Puffinus gelidus}) of the Antarctic seas, abundant among floating ice. {Ice pick}, a sharp instrument for breaking ice into small pieces. {Ice pilot}, a pilot who has charge of a vessel where the course is obstructed by ice, as in polar seas; -- called also {ice master}. {Ice pitcher}, a pitcher adapted for ice water. {Ice plow}, a large tool for grooving and cutting ice. | |
