Sometimes I move like a snake other times I hit like a stone.
I move very quickly , very faster than you.
Try to race me and win , I will show you a magic trick that no magician has ever performed.
What am I?

3$\begingroup$ @AmruthA, regarding my (accepted) answer, your last comment is quite missleading... $\endgroup$ – Christoph Aug 9 '16 at 11:35

It's a bit of a strech, but could it be
Light?
Sometimes I move like a snake other times I hit like a stone.
Photons may be described as wave, or particles.
I move very quickly , faster than you.
With the speed of light, obviously.
Try to race me and win, I will show you a magic trick that no magician has ever performed.
So here comes the strechy part: it's physically impossible to win against the light. But I'm sure that if someone finally moves faster than light, magic things will happen!

$\begingroup$ ehmmmm OP? i asked: "when you say 'I move very quickly , faster than you.' is always or you can do it sometimes?" you answered: "most of the time ,it requires extreme efforts to win.." $\endgroup$ – lois6b Aug 9 '16 at 11:39

$\begingroup$ @AmruthA the reason I didn't put that is because of what lois described. $\endgroup$ – Areeb Aug 9 '16 at 11:40

7$\begingroup$ @AmruthA Current scientific models predict it is not "very difficult to travel faster than light", but impossible. To travel faster than light would break most ways we know how the universe works. $\endgroup$ – Trotski94 Aug 9 '16 at 12:07

Its :
A photon

Light is fast!

My shadow?
Sometimes I move like a snake other times I hit like a stone.
Depending on what you cast a shadow on it could look waving, like a snake or it could suddenly get shorter, i.e. drop like a stone.
I move very quickly , faster than you.
If the light source is behind you the shadow will be in front of you.
Try to race me and win , I will show you a magic trick that no magician has ever performed.
For the keen runners, try and race with your shadow.

Maybe it's
sound
It moves like a snake when it's
music
Which can be
hard rock
It travels at around
1000km/h
which is pretty fast.
It creates a
shock wave
when you go faster than it, which is amazing.
Not sure of the answer, but it fits most of the phrases.

It is very fast at 220,000,000 miles per hour.
Last part
The "magic show" is it's brilliant spectacle.
