Starting with the premise that our mind doesn't actually perceive reality directly, but rather creates an internal representation based on external sensory inputs, I would say that the definition of magic is "the intentional manipulation of another person's internal representation of reality." Which should cover a lot of what most people consider to be magic tricks.

"Tricks are what a whore does for money."
Why make it manipulation of another person? It could include the self as in the case of invocation.
Or you could go the Crowley route and say Magick is causing change in accordance with will...
