If magic was real, we'd figure out how it worked, and then it'd be 'science' and you'd call it boring. We've figured out how to fling ourselves across oceans, how to communicate with people in real-time when they're not in earshot, and can even replace a person's heart and lungs in one go and keep them alive. "Magic" is what we call it when we're ignorant of how something works, and how once you know how a magic trick is done, it's not interesting anymore as a mystery. As for working for most of your life... so what's new? Ever since we settled down, working all your life has been the norm. Being alive requires work - if someone's not doing it for you, you have to do it yourself.
