The magnification of a magnifying glass depends on the distance it is between the viewer's eye and the object being viewed. To change focus you would move it closer or further from the object.

∙ 14y agoThe curved surface of the glass bends light so that light reflected off of a small area appears as though it came from a larger area. Basically, light reflected off of a surface spreads out in all directions, and only a small portion of that light (traveling at just the correct angle) enters the eye so that it can be seen. A magnifying glass captures a larger amount of that reflected light (from more angles than the eye can see) and refocuses so that they all enter the eye. the brain interprets this as though the eye were actually seeing light from all those angles, and so the magnified object appears to be larger.
