Uses & Examples

Magic is a popular performance art that usually combines the use of theatrics and can occasionally be assisted with some form of tech. People who make the practice of magic their craft, hobby, or living are known as magicians. But the use of magic is not limited to only magicians and is occasionally used by crews that assist with special effects, stuntmen, or other actors/actresses in theatre. Gadgetry can also assist with the use of magic. 
I'm going to give examples of how magic is used in sports or other areas of entertainment like professional wrestling. Sting is a sorcerer, Undertaker is a necromancer, and Kane is a pyromancer. (The archetypes they represent.)

Pyromancy
In this video, we have the wrestler Kane entering the ring while on fire. He is projecting the simulation that he is immune to fire and is projecting it from his own body, through his own power. However what Kane is actually doing is wearing an outfit that is fire-proof, specifically designed to protect him from the heat of the flame.

This other video shows a time when Randy Orton almost lit himself on fire. He was fighting The Undertaker who was returning for revenge, after Randy cost him a loss against another wrestler by interfering in the fight. Randy manages to put The Undertaker in his casket and then proceeds to set it on fire.

Blading
While a lot of performance artists and magicians use fake blood or animal blood to simulate the illusion of bleeding. Method actors and professional wrestlers actually use their real blood. If a punch is thrown, a suplex is done, or whether they are hit in the head with a chair and then start bleeding profusely from their forehead. The method or technique manages to make it look as if the bleeds are the result of the attack itself. However, the wrestler is actually using a hidden blade to cut themselves in order to sell the fight and make the attack look more convincing. This subtle use of magic has been used by many wrestlers in the past, especially Hulk Hogan in this video.
