OK. I commented on Pythogras. You cited his theorem. That works perfectly well without three being a "magic" number.
How about Euler? Difficult to see three as a unique or "magic" number in his famous identity.
How about the seven colours of the rainbow.
How many electrons in nitrogen or oxygen......where's the "magic" three in those.
You quote Tesla, the guy who almost single handedly got us alternating current. Now there's a thing. Alternating - two states.
Anyway, I'd be curious to know where you got his quotes from.

The guy in the video appears bothered by the word magic because it conflicts with his inner mutterings. He'd like to sterilize the language because it threatens his secular world-view. The video should be called, 'What is magic.' If he started exploring that question, he'd probably delete 'is three a magic number.' 3 is a naturally occurring observable fact. Our cognitive patterns are not meaningless, they're in-fact, meaningful.
Pythagoras mathematically established 3 as one principle form. The sacredness of the triad and its symbol- the triangle- may be derived from the form of the monad and duad, giving birth to sequential order while reinforcing human LOGOS. Without the concept of 3, science & math would be incomplete. In-fact, the trivium had been formed through 3, grammar, logic, and rhetoric (input, process, output). BTW, tools like quantum physics post-structuralism holographic interferometry transcend binary thought. Is pi a magical constant or a mathematical constant?
