They don't make things bigger.
Magnification is a property of an object that, because of its shape, light is refracted to a point. This allows the eye to more accurately detect each part which is emitting light, making it seem bigger.

Distance glasses are made for people who are nearsighted ( people who have difficulty seeing DISTANT objects but can see close objects clearly ) reading glasses are for people who are farsighted ( people who have difficulty seeing CLOSE objects but can see distant objects clearly ) Distant glasses come in a MINUS prescription and usually when you wear them, they make everything look SMALLER Reading glasses come in a PLUS prescription and they make the world seem BIGGER
How do you make fire with a magnifying glass?
It's quite easy- take a magnifying glass and a dry piece of a paper ( preferably newspaper ) and go to a place where appropriate sunlight is available. Let the light of sun fall on to the magnifying glass. Bring the piece of paper beneath the magnifying glass. Now your objective is to move the magnifying glass up and down in such a way that the light emerging from the magnifying glass concentrates to a point. Hold the both things in the same position for a while, and soon you will be able to see the miracle, fire without a matchstick ! Enjoy!

Focal length indicates the distance from the lens that something should be to be in the best focus (or not inverted). Therefore, a small focal length is best for magnifying glasses which are typically used to look at things that are very close to you.
