Human: What are the differences between a hypnotist and a magician? Assistant: 
The main difference is that hypnosis is a psychological technique that uses suggestion to alter a person's state of consciousness, while magic tricks involve sleight-of-hand or misdirection. Hypnotists use their skills to help people relax and focus on specific goals, such as overcoming fears or gaining self-confidence. Magicians often perform entertaining illusions for entertainment purposes.
