Sorcerer, conjurer and wizard are all types of magicians.... use sleight of hand and misdirection. Witches can be either male or female followers of the Craft, a nature religion.

As I know it, a sorcerer is a general magician, a conjuror specializes in (gasp!) conjuring or summoning spells, a wizard is a male magician, and a witch is female (and in my opinion usually evil).
