Magic: An exploration.

[The Magic Pudding]

An event that defies any plausible explanation within natural laws would be a magical event as far as I'm concerned.

I think I would just put it in the unexplained basket.

Well, my definition goes a bit further. I just shortened it to the absolute minimum. But yes, any event that can be explained to a certain degree of plausibility within the laws of nature would not be a magical event.

For instance, there is no magic to a witch flying on a broom since hallucinations, weird aircraft development and wire maneuvers are (a few among) plausible explanations which do not invoke defying natural laws.

I just draw a line between unexplained and unexplainable (sort of), the second part being "magic"
