I don't think the issue was about time travel, but about one's inability to understand. We call magick the occult (hidden, beyond the realm of human comprehension). There are many things that we didn't understood in the past and considered them as being magick and now we do. Just as how we can't understand the soul right now but maybe in the future we will

And just to make it clear, there is a difference between magic and magick. The term magick, the latter, and also the one you are referring to is introduced by Aleister Crowley, and it's based on the Thelemic system. It is about using one's direct intention in manifesting a change. For him it is the REAL magick. The law of the Will.  So, if it THAT what you're talking about, let me tell that yes, it works, if you refer to plain magic, as in illusion, then well I guess that it does on the measure you rely on illusion

"Every change has it's own conditions" - Aleister Crowley
By getting more aware of the nature of our surroundings we become more capable of observing and understanding the multitude of those conditions, and then, by exercising our Will, we can manipulate those conditions in order to produce a change. That is magick. Some people consider it as being supernatural because they are not able to to see those conditions and the way hey were manipulated.
Quote from "Magick Without Tears"
Quote:
In the present state of our knowledge and power some changes are not possible in practice; we cannot cause eclipses, for instance, or transform lead into tin, or create men from mushrooms. But it is theoretically possible to cause in any object any change of which that object is capable by nature; and the conditions are covered by the above postulate
