Islamic Interpretation
A magician or illusionist in a dream symbolizes a person who deceives, corrupts, or seduces others through false charm, manipulation, and misrepresentation of reality. He represents one who leads people astray by appealing to desires, exploiting weaknesses, and masking harmful intentions behind attractive displays. If the magician uses an apple in his illusion, it signifies an attempt to tempt or morally corrupt his own son, indicating betrayal of trust and misuse of authority over one’s family. If he employs a butterfly in his performance, it denotes a grave violation involving his wife, symbolizing extreme moral transgression, abuse, and the collapse of honor and protection within the household. In general, seeing a magician reflects hidden corruption, moral danger, and the destructive consequences of deceit when it enters family life and personal relationships.
