In the context of computer programing, magic is utilized to describe code that handles complex tasks when hiding that complexness to present the elementary interface. A term is somewhat tongue-around-facetious & carries practiced connotations, implying that a interface simplifies an otherwise hard or even tedious project. E.g., Perl's polymorphous typing and closure mechanisms are typically known as "magic". A term implies that a hidden complexness is at least around theory graspable, in counterpoint to black magic and deep magic, which describe arcane techniques that are deliberately hidden or even super hard to know.
