While we get the English word "magician" from "Magi", except for a passage in Herodotus there is no evidence that they practiced magic.
Ingawa neno la Kiingereza "magician" (mfanya mazingaombwe/mchawi) linatokana na jina "Magi" (mamajusi), ukiachia kifungu kwenye Herodotus, hakuna ushahidi kuwa mamajusi walifanya mazingaombwe/uchawi.
