Well, I really am no expert but it is an interesting topic. So, I think I wanna write MHO about it.
Magic and Psychic abilities are different in nature. Magic is an art (or arcane art to some) that can be learnt by any of us (or so but there could be limitations on individuals, I'm not sure of this). It is an art of manipulation of the chi / energy around us to achieve certain means.
Psychic abilities on the other hand, IMHO has to do with a person's latent mind powers. We all know we use only a small fraction of our brain's capabilities. It is said that using just 50% (maybe even less) of the brain's capabilities can already enable a person to achieve many near impossible psychic feats. So imagine if we can use 100% of our brain's capabilities.
From my understanding of energy, going back to our hand appearing solid when its actually a mass of vibrating energy, there is no "in here" and "out there". So its all one interconnected energy field. Well... with consciousness at one part and w/o consciousness at other parts.

But one thing is for sure, advanced meditation techniques and certain yoga practices does open a person's "3rd eye" and thus develop a person's psychic faculties. This apart from increasing a person's ability to manipulate energy (magical powers).

We should, on the other hand, be choosing meditation and yoga practice to do for the purpose of developing ourselves spiritually.The resulting clarity of mind and cleaner bodies (physical, emotional, mental etc etc) from the practice will bring about the positive side effect of heightened psychic faculties and if you are trained in the ways of the magi, increased healing powers, power of manifestation etc.
To choose to learn meditation and yoga for the purpose of developing psychic abilities, I'm afraid, could lead to one being swayed to the dark side. Reason is, your objective and purpose was flawed in the first place. Of course, this is just theory and my opinion. I could be way off.

But one funny think I know... some people would say all these is "the devil's work" or hullabaloo. ROFLMAO!!!
To say that would be to deny one's own soul's existence in my opinion. Because we are created in HIS likeness. Created in HIS likeness does not mean for one instance that HE has 2 arms, 2 legs, humanoid figure, 2 eyes bla bla bla (you know what I mean). It means we are of HIS essence. Therefore anything HE can do, we can. All the great Avatars of our time could do it. So can countless yogis and monks throughout time immemorial.
Well, that's all for now.
