Magnifying glasses are lenses.
The easiest way to explain this is to show how a magnifying glass can set things on fire. Light rays from the sun (almost parallel to one another by the time they reach Earth) hit the convex surface of the lens and are refracted inwards. When they leave the lens, they are all headed to one common point, called the focal point. Since there are so many rays of light focused on one point, the heat is higher and therefore things will burn when subjected to them.
