conjurer

One summoning illusions

A conjurer performs magic—either the stage variety involving sleight of hand and illusion, or the supernatural kind involving summoning spirits or casting spells.

The word carries a slightly old-fashioned flavor, evoking traveling performers and medieval sorcerers alike: The conjurer produced a rabbit from his hat.

Also spelled conjuror.
