Magnetic North is where the compass points because of the earth's magnetic field.
Geographic North is due to the Earth's axis based on its rotation.

There are three kinds of Norths: True North, Grid North and Magnetic North. True North or the geographical north is the direction of the North Pole given at a specific place. This is the North that is directed by Polaris or North Star, thus some also refer to it as the celestial north. Grid North is the North that we see on geographic maps, Atlases and globes which is indicated by grids. Magnetic north is the one which the navigational compass points to. There is a slight deflection between the three.

Magnetic north is really near the South Pole. Geographic north is the actual northernmost part of our planet. This is VERY confusing, but the reason is simple. North magnets point north. North magnets are attracted to south magnets. And so, the magnetic south pole is north, though it is off by about 200 kilometers form the geographic north. The vice versa is also true.
