The Magician is a climbing area in the Western Divide Ranger District of Sequoia National Forest in California, managed by the Forest Service. It sits among a cluster of named climbing spots, with The Charlatan and The Sorcerer each about 0.2 miles away. The area offers a mix of trad and sport climbing. Of its 10 routes, seven are trad and two are sport, with the hardest at 5.11d and the easiest at 5.7+. Notable routes include Magic Dragon (5.8 trad) and Cookies on Sunday (5.10d trad), with Liquid Sky (5.11d trad) as the most challenging. The grades are typical for the area, and the route styles give climbers options for both traditional and bolted climbing.
