it may sound stupid

well since i was child i thinked magic did not exist but i think as magic as something like harry potter, so it is magic something like shooting fireballs and doing some type of power on someone or it is something like only rituals and somethings like that?

cause I'm a little confused

It is magic understood as a paranormal, conscious and controlled modification of enviroment/people/random events. It's not neccesarily about rituals. And certainly not about fireballs

Magic is as varied as the people who practice it, but I have yet to meet anyone who can shoot fireballs.

For me it is about a personal relationship with whatever created this world, and whatever created the being or beings that created this world.  It is all about knowledge, and how to apply that to helping everyone around me.

As I said though, it is different for everyone.  Perhaps the most popular answer to give to "What is Magic?" was the answer given by Aleister Crowley "Magic is the science and art of causing change to occur in conformity with will."  Typical of Crowley, that says both more and less than it seems to at first sight, but only if you know the works of Crowley well enough to see through it all.  Luckily, though, it is worded in such a way that it does make sense and ring true even if you don't understand all of the nuances.
