I think you are referring to magic numbers making up a magic square wherein you arrange such numbers in a grid and get the same sum for all the numbers in the same row, same column and diagonal.
For example, take the numbers 1 -9 and arrange them in a 3 x 3 grid (3 rows and 3 columns). Set the 5 in the middle and arrange the rest around it so as to get a total of 15. You should get something like this arrangement.
6 1 8 = 15
7 5 3 = 15
2 9 4 = 15
= = = two diagonals each add up to 15 as well
15 15 15

MAGIC NUMBERS is a term used in physics rather than maths. The numbers are 2,8,20,28,50,82,and 126. Nuclides (atoms characterised by their atomic number and mass number) with these numbers of nucleons (protons or neutrons) appear to have a greater stability than other nuclides.

There are perfect numbers
There are magic squares
There are prime, square and triangle numbers.
Do you mean one of these instead? I haven't heard of magic numbers
