"magician" in Portuguese (BR)
Definition
A magician is a person who entertains people by performing tricks that seem impossible, such as making things disappear or guessing information. In stories, it can also mean a person with real magical powers.
Usage Notes (Portuguese (BR))
Usually refers to a stage performer, not a real supernatural person. For entertainment, 'magician' is more common than 'wizard'. Common phrases include 'a magician's trick' and 'close-up magician'. In casual speech, it can also praise someone who is extremely skilled: 'She's a magician in the kitchen.'
