Magick means neither the art of illusion nor the ability to achieve impossible things since the impossible is impossible by definition. Magick as I understand it is to establish a mindset that allows it to make unlikely or unplausible events happen. It is achieved by finding a suitable Paradigm in which imitation or acts of substitution posess a power, for example within a ritual. The practitioner is competely aware that there is no causal link between the act and the result, in other words it is not a rational but a magickal event that is happening.
It is not about what one knows but about what is done. It is about the believe in this doing and to constantly fight the limitations of one's own imagination. In this sense it is an inner art. In no way I want you to persuade in any way. I want to encourage you to analyse in what your beliefs hold you back or enable you to do certain things and to be curious how they can be altered. Like I said before the only enemy is your own limitation and fear. As far as I know both can be changed.

Why all of that?
In my understanding Magick is not a shortcut to ultimate bliss , but a powerful tool of transformation and insight. Becoming aware of the own desires and fears is an inevidable process within the great work. The power in every gesture, in every word will show itself to the one who is conscious about his doing. From seemingly everyday actions a gate into another dimension of being arises.
And this is nothing less than an invitation.
