Some people believe that magic exists. They believe that magicians are not creating illusions, but are really making objects appear in thin air. They believe in fairies. They believe that miracles are possible if you believe hard enough.
Some people don't believe in magic. Maybe they just know too much science to believe anything that cannot be logically explained.
When you create a fantasy world, you need to decide how much magic is common and who it is common to.
Does everyone know that magic exists? Is everyone's magic the same? Are there still some displays of magic that would amaze anyone despite the common fantasy elements?
When you make up a magical world, you make up all the rules. Set up the level or magic and of common knowledge early so you can use it as effectively as possible throughout your story.
