Ceremonial Magic - High Magic

Ceremonial magic is a type of magic that depends heavily on book learning; precise, complicated ritual; and intricate sets of correspondences.
Ceremonial magic is also high magic. It is meant to have a spiritual purpose rather than a practical one, although there could be some overlap in those two concepts. It involves improving the soul, which might include gaining divine knowledge, purification, the attraction of proper influences, and embracing one's destiny.

Folk Magic - Low Magic

Historically, folk magic is the magic of the common folk. It has all manner of practical purposes: healing, attracting luck or love, driving away evil forces, finding lost items, bringing good harvests, fertility.
Folk magic is sometimes called low magic because of its practical nature and because of its association with the lower class.

Witchcraft

Witchcraft is a highly problematic term because of the different uses of the word today versus its historical uses.
Many magical practitioners are now calling themselves witches and practice a cross between ceremonial magic and folk magic. Workings are generally fairly simple, use common materials, and depend upon emotion and intent rather than exact ritual. They may also borrow certain practices such as circle casting from ceremonial magic.
Historically, however, witchcraft meant malevolent magic, and that is the reason it was persecuted. Witches were thought to kill, maim, cause sterility, blight crops, poison water, and bring general misfortune upon their targets.
Witches and folk magicians were two different groups of people. Most people identified as witches were also accused falsely, while folk magicians were valued members of their communities.

Left and Right Hand Magic

In short, left-hand magic is limited by social conventions. It is often limited to beneficial magic and comes with warnings of consequences for harmful workings.
Right-hand magic exists outside of social conventions and ignores taboos, often even gaining power from breaking them. Only people who consider themselves of the right-hand path generally use the terminology.

Black and White Magic

Black and white magic are imprecise terms. Roughly speaking, they are used to differentiate magic practices with an intent that is not socially acceptable versus magic practices that are.
Today, the dividing line is often between magic that is intended to harm and magic that is not. There are, however, a lot of practices that different people disagree with, such as divination, justified harm, love magic and so forth. Many magical workers avoid the terms entirely.

Mentalism

There are many types of magic out there but all magicians will agree that mentalism is one of the best types. This is a completely mind blowing type of trick, and as the title suggests, it is all about the mind. Mentalism performers are known as mentalists and this magic form basically exposes the highly developed mental skills of mentalists getting into the minds of volunteers. Methods used include; telepathy, divination, hypnosis, clairvoyance, mind control, psycho kinesis and precognition. This magic form has also been widely used by psychics and mediums.

Arcane

This is an ancient type of magic that has existed for thousands of years. It involves the manipulation of dark forces and powers to the magicianโ€™s advantage. What happens in Arcane is that very potent spells are created which have the ability to control other forces. This, in turn, makes it possible to change form. It is also possible to be able to have other celestial beings working for you thanks to this magic form. The spells are everything and thus proper mastery of them is imperative. It doesnโ€™t go without saying that it will take years for a magician to master different spells in his head. A lot of practice is also mandatory. Spells can be found in ancient spell books

Sleight of hand

Sleight of hand is one of the most common Types of magic in the world. It is also referred to as legerdemain or prestidigitation. This type of magic requires extremely perfect hand motions and trickery. It is all about using your hands to manipulate and trick. Very fast movements are needed to be able to hide objects, retrieve them and basically, fool everyone around you. Even though some quarters claim that sleight of hand is not a type of magic, some other quarters vehemently support Sleight of hand as a form of magic. This is because sleight of hand cannot be separated from most magiciansโ€™ acts. This is especially true for professional magicians who incorporate numerous acts in their shows.

Roving Magic

This is one of the rare types of magic that incorporates mentalism and sleight of hand tricks. What makes this form unique is that it allows for uniqueness, creativity and close interaction with the audience members. For roving magic to work, there has to be a large setting like a restaurant or any social setting where the performer can freely walk about and interact with members of the audience. The acts are really close up and sometimes, it is the audience who actually contribute to about 80% of the trick thanks to their involvement. This really helps to kill boredom and break the ice between guests while they are in between events. This type of magic is most suitable for children shows and birthdays.

Elemental

Elemental magic is another ancient types of magic that is really powerful. It takes years of practice and discipline to finally master this form. This type of magic involves the complete control and use of the four main forces of the earth; fire, water, earth and air. This is not the stuff of movies. It actually happens. Over years of practice, some master magicians have been able to completely master this art. It must, however, be noted that only a handful individuals in the entire world have managed to perfect this art. There are even some masters of time, which is just phenomenal. These people can manipulate these forces to their bidding and command them to work to their gain.

Traditional Magic

Just as the name suggests, in traditional magic the performer is more concerned about maintaining and conserving the traditional form of illusion. In this regard, the act here is all about the traditional stage performances, with not so complicated skills, and a rousing audience. The stage is the biggest aspect of Traditional magic and most traditional magicians observe that without the stage, there is no magic.
