Scientists have been doing experiments with single electrons and photons for a long time now. The results are highly predictable. They do use probability, but that is also a branch of mathematics, and I don’t know of any competent scientist or mathematician who would equate it with the supernatural or magic.

When done time after time, the aggregate of the results follow probability very closely. A SINGLE EVENT IS NOT PREDICTABLE.

How about this guy?

He famously referred to quantum entanglement as “spukhafte Fernwirkung”, translated as "spooky action at a distance".

Here's another freaky occurrence to keep in mind: Observer Effect. Watch this movie to learn more about it.

Hence my comment as "pretty darn close to 'magic'"....
