I found that back when I worked at an academy, it was a great way to open class and break the ice a bit, or as a reward to close class. As a Korean public school teacher (with about 30 students per class), however, it's a lot harder to find opportunities to use magic in the classroom. One challenge I found at the academy, though, was sometimes a few students (especially in the bigger classes) would interpret magic time as free, "speak in Korean with their friends" time. It would take effort to draw them back into the magic trick. I also had students who became obsessed with certain tricks, and some even figured out how to do them by themselves! With an advanced class I had been doing lots of magic with, I actually copied the pages from the magic book and let them try to learn it by themselves! I love using magic, too!

It is a quite common thing but I used it so often when first substitute teaching, I could do it so fast it really seemed like magic. Students would think I looked in their files or something....
