Why and how does RSA work?

I've been searching all online trying to find a source that explains RSA (encryption and decryption) is simple terms. Can someone explain it to me with examples? It all seems like magic and I'd like to understand why/how it works. Thanks!

Actually the explanation at Wikipedia is confusing to me -- the reason I asked here.

It's hard to beat the explanation at Wikipedia...
