i think it just depends on background. a lot of british words are pronounced the same, but spelled differently than american words, for example. a lot of word spellings have changed throughout the years, so perhaps that was once the popular spelling of the word.

The "K" gives the word a more serious meaning to me - as in the meaning is more than the "parlor trick" version of the word and is more spiritual. Magick is used more when dealing with fantasy stories (wicca, faerie, etc). Of course, it could be just that Magick is an older spelling of the word. I am just going by my own observations.

Most people think of magic as being card tricks and illusions. Where as Magick is what most Pagans and Wiccans use in their spells and such.

Magik was created to make a difference between theatrical magic tricks, and the ritual ceremonial magik.

An action or effort undertaken because of a personal need to effect change, especially as associated with Wicca or Wiccan beliefs.

I think it was Aleister Crowley who coined the word "magick" for his own obscure reasons (gematria or something.)
