Depends on your definition of magic.
One example...
Lets say that in the past, some wiccans discovered that certain plants could be made into a paste that would give your skin and hair a luster and nice spell. And that saying a chant 3 times about how desirable you are would boost a persons self image. The wiccans (ancient witches) would package it together as a love spell. And it would often work. Looking better, feeling better, being confident that you have an edge would often give that person the boost they didnt have in the love department.
Now the problem with that magic is that science has now taken those same plants and processed them into a product for the marketplace. And have changed the chant into a self-help method called "self actualization", or even in a stronger wording they might call it "self hypnosis".
This is one of thousands of examples. Did the magic stop working? Does it count against magic that science took it away and declared it science? The mixture MIGHT work better in the processed form but the science of the chant or spell rarely does. Its hard to convince someone of the scientific explanation such as "just believe in yourself" and have it work with as much strength as the easy believing that it comes from outside based on some unarguable rules (generally true of arguments against both magic and religion).
It you mean making things out of nothing or something extreme like that? Well then you get outside of folklore magic. You need to talk to the Quantum Theorists about that. Their latest discussions on branes (membranes) and breaking the rules of "no energy can be destroyed" makes the old "doesnt work" theories very interesting.

Magic has a different meaning to everyone. For me it's when my heart skips a beat for no known reason, or a rain shower, butterflies dancing, a smile from a stranger. I could go on and on. That's my opinion.

If we are talking about the actual idea of magical power, I like to believe that it exists in the world. I believe it resides in all of us, if we allow it :-) Most of all, I see it in the young & innocent :-)

Magic is the world. Everything that exists, the fact that it exists, is magic.

magic is not only having the person that you desire, but keeping it strong for as long as you both live.
