The Magician reversed is a card of illusion, self-deception, and trickery. You may be trying to make others believe in an idea or belief that you have, but you are not fully committed to making it happen. You may have a few good intentions, but there are other factors that need to get in the way. You may be putting on a convincing show, but the other party could be picking up on your tricks and avoiding you. You may fail to deliver on what you promise.
The reversed Magician tarot card can also indicate that your subconscious mind is playing tricks on you and that you are out of touch with your own authentic beliefs and values. You may not have your own set of goals or a clear sense of direction. You may be trying to change the world, but your actions have little or no influence. Your conscious mind may be able to do all the work, but you need to trust your subconscious too.
At times, the Magician reversed can also indicate a lack of vision, ambition, drive, or leadership skills.
