For me the term 'Magical' is difficult and I also see that relgious christian fervour is also included in the Wiki entry.
Here in Oz you can type the word Magic into google and the first entry is 'The Catholic Church' funny about that.
As far as the mind 'influencing' the world around it the jury is still out....I have had occasions to "think" of something and then it turned up. What gets really disconcerting is being able to "feel" peoples thoughts and emotions...investigations are still ongoing.
But so far there is a plausibility to the statement. The definition of that plausibility is still being refined
