These magic beads are a form of plastic beads. They are normally very bright and made from some form of fiberglass material. The bead is sprayed repeatedly with a reflective material and finished with an outer clear coating. It is these layers that create the tantalising illusion of a bead within a bead. It is also what makes the beads seem to glow in natural light.
Originally these beads came from Japan but these days, they can be produced from any country. It is not unusual that they are still often called "Japanese Miracle Beads"
