Magic is just advanced science.
I'm sitting here communicating with you, located on the complete other side of the world, using a device that fits in my hand and that also allows real-time video communication with almost anyone, almost anywhere on the planet.
200 years ago that would have been magic.
I'm just sad I won't get to see what 'magic' is available 200 years from now.
Maybe not any of the things the grandparent post mentioned, but barring some global calamity, whatever it is, it will be magical by today's standards.
