Both male and female practitioners of the Wiccan religion are known as witches. Here is an excellent Wiccan primer, outlining the history and practices of the religion:

You need a PDF viewer to read that, I recommend Sumatra PDF:

If you're not planning on practicing Wicca, then you can stop reading after page 51.
Most practitioners of Wicca do believe in some sort of magic, which they often spell magick to distinguish it from sleight-of-hand magician's magic. Whether magic is real is a subject of debate, and there is no concrete answer.

Yes and yes. Do I need to elaborate or will that answer do? Really, not trying to be a smartass. What do you want to know?

Ok since you want more information. Witches are real, they practice a religion called Wicca. Most witches are "closet" witches meaning they practice the craft in secrecy. The reason why is, the majority of folks don't understand and would criticizes their beliefs or even ostracize them. You see, witches believe in two gods, one being a female and the other being a male. They don't believe in Satan or the Devil but they do believe in karma. As far as magic being real, it's real to the extent of, if the person really truly believes it is real to themselves then it is real. If you believe in something, no matter how hard someone tries to convince you otherwise, you are not going to hear what they say.
To see what is up in today's world of Wicca and for further reading I recommend Silver RavenWolf's "To Ride a Silver Broomstick"

You replied; "So like if you go to the mall or the store would you be able to point out a witch? or like how would you know? [also how do you know so much??]"
No, you wouldn't be able to spot one. They dress as normal as anyone else. Although some may decide to wear a pentacle (not to be confused with a pentagram) necklace, earrings, ring or other forms of jewelry. These are usually the ones that are open in their religion. However, just because someone wears something like this doesn't make them Wiccan. You really wouldn't know unless they told you.
Someone I know is Wiccan.
