Magic is an art which proposes to make use of the supernatural to control or overcome natural events. Some races, such as the Megans or the Q appear to use magic. Some religious groups also claim to use magic, such as witches. (TAS: "The Magicks of Megas-Tu")
As a child Gary Mitchell was interested in magic tricks, which along with his skill at guessing games, fortold his extrasensory abilities. (TOS: "Where No Man Has Gone Before")

Spock explored these new abilities by drawing a pentagram on the floor, and while standing in it, used the power of his belief to move a vulcan chess piece. Sulu used magic to conjure up a beautiful woman before Lucien warned him that using mental powers would attract unwanted attention. (TAS: "The Magicks of Megas-Tu")
