What was officially called Alicorn Amulet never made Trixie an Alicorn in the true sense since she always lacked the wings.

Rather, the Amulet augmented the User's capabilities by orders of magnitude, probly as well as a much bigger mana pool (or even an infinite one) at the cost of increasingly lost common sense, and this augmentation made her rival Alicorns in magic power.

Also I don't see how one could have "stage magic" without "Equestrian magic" or the other way around, it's just magic used for different purpose. Despite Twilight saying she wouldn't be able to do that Manticore death cheating it wouldn't be much of a problem if she tried: all Starlight did was teleport Trixie from the Manticore's stomach, and all Trixie did was use a gunpowder-based cannon to propel herself right into mouth of danger. Nothing magical there, until the teleport. I wonder how Trixie wouldn't be able to do that.
