Magic and Mentalism
Magic
Magic is a performing art that entertains an audience by creating
illusions of seemingly impossible or supernatural feats, using purely
natural means. These feats are called magic tricks, effects or
illusions.
One who performs such illusions is called a magician or an illusionist.
Some performers may also be referred to by names reflecting the type of
magical effects they present, such as prestidigitators, conjurors,
mentalists, escape artists, and ventriloquists.

Mentalism
Is a performing art in which its practitioners, known as mentalists, use mental acuity, cold reading, hot reading, principles of stage magic, and/or suggestion to present the illusion of mind reading, psychokinesis, extra-sensory perception, precognition, clairvoyance or mind control. Hypnosis may also be used as a stage tool.
