Alan Moore, writer of masterpieces like Watchmen and V for Vendetta, also calls himself a magician in this line of thinking.
He thinks up a story containing certain concepts, and by writing it down and disseminating that story, he conjurers up these same concepts, or even concepts he hadn't originally thought of himself, in the minds of others. That's magic according to him.
After hearing that I became much more receptive of the concept of magic, and have even taken to calling myself a magician as a computer scientist. I write spells in mysterious languages, which are then interpreted by magic crystals to either influence the physical world in some way, or to gain me knowlegde I didn't have without using my spells.
