A comment on Magic+. Parent comment

That's exactly the comparison I wanted to make as well. I thought of the original Magic service as "a Visa Black Card concierge-service automated and scaled enough to target the middle class"; this just returns it to the parent concept.

I don't think the middle class has $3,750 to spend on a helicopter ride to the airport...

Presumably the people using Magic for that sort of thing were the upper-class "money left on the table" that's being picked up here. Most Magic requests, from what I take it, are more for the same lazy-person-making-100K things like to-your-door grocery delivery that other services provide.
