They work a different way, but a flying carpet could just as easily be manipulated by psychic energy. Just like if I end up seeing a spirit around here, that would be ESP. Just because we don't fully understand how something works, that doesn't make it magic.

[Okay, hang on. She turns more to face him.] What's the difference, in your eyes? I'm not seeing the rather arbitrary distinction you mean to be making. Whether you call the force holding the carpet aloft psychic energy or magic energy, it's still acting outside the laws of commonly understood physics.
What would something have to do, in your mind, to be truly considered "magic"?
Personally, I believe that everything has an explanation, as strange as it might be. As to magic, some people are just born with different abilities than others.
