What it does
"Blue Magic" isn't an official Magic: The Gathering keyword or ability—it's not a term that appears in the comprehensive rules or on any cards. You may be thinking of blue mana (symbolized by 
) or the blue color of magic generally, which represents one of the five colors in the game.
Blue as a color is associated with knowledge, manipulation, and control. Mechanically, blue specializes in card draw, countering spells (like Counterspell), bouncing permanents back to hand, "tempo" plays, and stealing opponents' creatures. In Commander, blue is notoriously powerful and sometimes resented for enabling extra turns, drawing huge amounts of cards, and protecting key pieces with counterspells.
If you encountered "Blue Magic" on a specific card or in a particular context, double-check the exact wording—it might be a casual nickname, a non-MTG term, or a misremembered ability. Feel free to share the card name and I'll clarify what's actually happening.
