@mattkevan could you provide a citation for this? A quick search nets Arthur C. Clarke's three laws, with the third reading:

"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." - 1973, Hazards of Prophecy: The Failure of Imagination

No citation is necessary, they're just quoting a clever anonymous adaptation. It's not anything Arthur C. Clarke ever said.
