* ''VisualNovel/ApolloJusticeAceAttorney''':
** The third case, "Turnabout Serenade", presents a magician's illusion in the middle of a concert, where singer Lamirior is teleported from one high vantage point to another over a period of twenty seconds when Klavier Gavin grabs her star-covered robe and flings it away. [[SubvertedTrope However]], as much as Trucy Wright fights to preserve the "never reveal a magician's secrets" angle, the techniques of the trick are gradually worked out over the course of the trial in order to pin down the case's killer.
** Case four, "Turnabout Succcession", sees Zak Gramarye vanish completely from a courtroom, utterly surrounded by witnesses. The best resolution anyone gets is when Mike Meekins, a bailiff at the time, sees a Zak-like figure dash out and around a corner, but only finds Trucy at the dead end.

* ''Manga/KaitouSaintTail'' has the main character, the daughter of a PhantomThief and StageMagician, combine both talents to operate as the phantom thief Saint Tail. Her abilities are ''ostensibly'' just stage magic that she'd learned from her father and perfected, but they involve things like [[{{Balloonacy}} getting around via a handful of balloons]] or [[PullARabbitOutOfMyHat producing things out of a silk hat that should absolutely not fit in there]], making the series present more like a MagicalGirl one in practice. The story itself operates on enough MaybeMagicMaybeMundane to make it ambiguous whether Meimi's "stage magic" does actually involve something beyond normal human ability.

* ''VideoGame/GenshinImpact'': Lynette and Lyney's magic tricks are often difficult to explain, even though they started their first show in the Opera Epiclese by temporarily putting away their Visions to make it clear they weren't using real magic. One of them is explained fully, but others leave the audience scratching their head. This is a plot point, as when Lynette appeared to be transformed into water as part of a trick, [[spoiler: it placed Lynette and Lyney under suspicion for a crime where Water of the Primordial Sea was used to transform Fontainians into water.]] In reality, it was just a really good trick, as if it wasn't, it wouldn't have been so easy to reconstruct Lynette.

* ''Literature/HighSchoolProdigiesHaveItEasyEvenInAnotherWorld'': Prince Akatsuki is explicitly a stage magician, but many of his magic tricks seem downright impossible to pull off in real life, such as removing his own head and periodically flying. No explanation is ever given for how his tricks work, which becomes even more galling when he ends up in a world where ''magic is real'' and yet without actual magic still manages to impress people.

The only thing that really distinguishes his stage magic from real magic is that skilled mages like Grandmaster Neuro can sense when magic is used, which the latter uses to confirm that Akatsuki and the Luminaries are from Earth.
