Canonical Elven Supernatural Abilities:

Elven musicians "can make the things of which they sing appear before the eyes of those that listen." (Lord of the Ring)

Elves can learn to speak the languages of animals (The Silmarillion)

Elves can speak to trees (Lord of the Rings)

Elves have the ability to see vast distances, and can count the number of people riding in a close formation, and notice their hair color and height, from a distance of at least seventeen miles (28 km). (Lord of the Rings)

Elves, particularly their eyes, glow with inner light (Lord of the Rings)

Elves can walk atop the snow and have remarkable cold tolerance (Lord of the Rings, The Silmarillion)

Elves have the power to influence by magic over another person’s mind, and can puts others to sleep. (The Hobbit, Lord of the Rings, The Silmarillion)

Elves can manipulate or influence elements of nature (The Hobbit, Lord of the Rings)

Elves have the power to forsee possible outcomes of the future (Lord of the Rings)

Elves can read minds and communicate with each other telepathically, no matter where in Middle-Earth they happen to be (Lord of the Rings, Vinyar Tengwar)

Elves can duel with song and knock down buildings with song (The Silmarillion, Of The Rings of Power and the Third Age)

Elves can heal with song (HoME- Lays of Beleriand)

Elves can conceal/temporarily cause to disappear possessions of theirs which they want to disguise (HoME- Lays of Beleriand)

Elves can temporarily shapeshift, but their true form can be revealed if someone greater in power strips their disguised form (The Silmarillion)

Elves can create magical items: rope that unties itself when no longer needed, cloaks that make the wearer nearly invisible, rings that make mortal bearers immortal (though not spiritually and at a spiritual cost), the palantiri, gems that emit light, swords that glow in the presence of enemies and swords which are sentient and can talk.

Note: This reference is probably incomplete. @growingingreenwood (being the goddess of Tolkien lore that she is) and anyone else is free to add if I’ve missed any.

It should be noted that as Galadriel cautions the Hobbits, the supernatural abilities of the elves is not actually magic, as these powers are natural to the elves and can be advanced through practice. I haven’t included anything from the Book of Lost Tales, because that is a mess I don’t want to step into.

It’s unclear if Galadriel's mirror is a magic item or if she has a magic ability to see distant and future things in it. (Lord of the Rings).

And its implied, but never made explicit that Thranduil used a protective magical barrier like the Girdle of Melian to protect the Northern region of Eryn Galen from Sauron’s influence (Of The Rings of Power and the Third Age, Lord of the Rings).

There’s also an implication that either elves can teleport themselves and objects over a short distance or temporarily conceal themselves from the eyes of possible enemies by turning invisible (The Hobbit).

I like to think that Melkor and Mairon assumed everyone knew they were married. Like, they were always hearing their names mentioned together (well... Morgoth and Sauron) so they just assumed that their marriage was as common knowledge as that of Manwë and Varda or Aulë and Yavanna or that of any of the Valar.

It wasn't though, and there was some major confusion when documents and portraits were found in the wreckage of Barad-dûr that spoke of them being spouses.
