What I really would like to do, though, is discover a scientific basis and methodology for it and make it real.
I think Penn and Teller would have no problem if you love a good illusion. But lets not confuse a stage act as being real.
I think you can leave behind the woo words like "magic" and say our species ability to have imagination leads to newer technology. No need to call that natural curiosity "magic".
We as a species didn't get from wondering about human flight to making it a reality by clinging to "magic'.
You can certainly update scientific method and methodology when new data and scientific ideas come about sure, but no need to use such an old word like "magic".
"Magic" is a stage act. Getting to the moon is science.
