Yes, you can kind of think of it in that way! "Magical" is used to describe things that are supernatural in nature, and cannot be understood by common sense or science. The story of Jack and the Beanstalk involves many magical elements. "Magical" is also used in some situations to describe something incredibly fantastic or wonderful. Ex: The Northern Lights look so magical. Ex: Harry Potter is a story with many magical and supernatural elements.
