      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

            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.

            numbers 12 to 75 in eight radii, and having somewhat
            similar properties to the magic square.

      {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.
