...But regardless, magic seems really cool, and if nothing else, would be a neat hobby to get into. I don't intend to swallow glass or transform that 460 lb chinese man who attempted a climb on mt everest into a rabbit, but it seems like it could be fun from time to time. should i look into this more? where do i start?

I started learning from books, like Erdnase's The Expert at the Card Table, but to be honest video is far superior. Learning a few card tricks gets you in the right frame of mind to start in on other sleights. Learn an "Ambitious Card" routine with doubles and breaks, then go onto learning the French Drop or something. Youtube is full of how-tos for the simpler tricks and will quickly tell you if you can be bothered to put in the hours to really get the skills down.
