Summary/Abstract: The remarkable diversity of shapes under which contemporary magic is presented today is the main subject of anthropological researchers but also source to the political and advertising approach or literary or cinematographic production. The cultural products of the contemporary society react to market demand, which is made of the individuals to whose appetite for magic, under various shapes and formulas, keeps growing out of different reasons (finding a refuge or alternate world, answer to existential questions - or quite the opposite, shockingly concrete ones - the need for a certain acknowledgement, the temptation to manipulate destiny to favor personal gain, to reach a heightened level of knowledge unknown to the masses, so forth).
