another way of looking at magic, perhaps, is to equate it to Creativity.
for eg, look at the lives of very creative people: artists, composers, but also scientists who were 'creative'.
the creative part comes from not just using the Magician to think (conscious aware mind) but drawing upon the infinite resources of the High Priestess (the subconscious, or literally all mind).
a common response to seeing a creative artwork or hearing a beautiful poem is: how did you do that? I can't imagine how you thought that up.
this is the magician (conscious mind) gawking and wondering that it couldn't create this by itself.
the magic comes from drawing upon the resources of the high priestess, and creating from that deep place of infinite fertility.
magic, on many levels, equates to being creative. A novel solution, a new idea, a something from a nothing.
it is given physical form by pulling a rabbit from a hat. But in truth, magic is mental.
