One of the popular romantic notions of magic it the ability to fly, to summon fire at will, to control winds and storms. Yet some of these things that we call magic can actually be done in our world now. It was a long dream of man to fly and now we have airplanes, machines that weight tons, yet they can get off the ground and carry many people on them. Man has been toying with fire for so long we come up with easier ways to summon it and many ways of doing that. We're able to control electricity to power everything we learn to use, a power we only witnessed when thunderstorms came. We have carrages that don't require horses to move. We're able to capture people on boxes and watch them in live action.
You can argue that magic is something that isn't logical, yet the only ones who are able to use magic in fiction are the ones who somehow know how it works, not the ones who know nothing about it. I don't know how well I got this point across or if a similar topic has been started already, but I feel that science and magic are almost one and the same. Before the things we learned to enjoy were invented and became somewhat common knowledge they were called magic.
