Magnifying glasses work because the speed of light is not constant and unchanging. Lots of people think that the speed of light does not change. But it does and that's how magnifying lenses work.
When light goes through the lens, its speed changes. That bends the light and our eyes follow it out to where a larger object should be.
That's the other thing we usually misunderstand. Magnifying glasses do not make things bigger. Instead they make things seem bigger.

the galss on both sides is convex therefore magnifying the image by bending the light in a different way.
