How it's used
Refers specifically to illusions or tricks that deceive the eyes, often implying a sense of unreality or stage performance. It is rarely used in serious contexts regarding actual supernatural powers, which are more commonly described as 法術.
Examples
He seems to know magic, making the money disappear.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 魔術, which is the standard term for stage magic or sleight of hand. 幻術 carries a more mystical or literary connotation and is not used to describe a professional magician's performance.
