Thank you cruciverbali.
I did wonder that but still couldn't fully resolve it in my mind
Sorry to be really slow here - I still don't quite fully get it
transpose - every other letter or substitute ? what does the vocal parts part of the clue mean - does it mean the vowels?
as I say sorry to be slow but it's not about the answer for me it's about clue construction
Thanks once again.

Yes, the A and I of 'magic', transposed to IA.
