I think that there is a certain aspect of each of these qualities in alchemy. There is truly an art to visualizing and focusing through internal alchemy. The effects of alchemy can be physically documented or rationalized through science. As far as magic, I think there's a certain amount of magic in every aspect of our lives. As much as we can write down effects, or determine what will happen if we combine one substance with another, sometimes it's easy to forget how amazing and 'magical' it is that all this came together and works how it does.
Music is a great example of the art of alchemy, as well as science and magic. There can be a science to composing a piece of music, even in purely improvisational free-form music, there's an application of previous formulas of sound that create a certain vibe. The art is represented in the creativity and expression, and there's a bit of magic in the way that the vibrations of music make people feel.

I agree that life is simply magical and that it requires a certain 'way of seeing and being' in the world to really appreciate the true magic of it.
