Depends on what you mean by "magic"...


In the earliest days of radio, those who purchased parts and built sets
to receive these radio waves were often accused of dabbling in magic.


wasn't Faraday accused of it with a Vacum tube I seem to remember a
story like that to do with an audio amp


Michael Faraday experimented with electricity and magnetism, long before
the vaccum tube.
