They are considered magical because historically, when the elements at these atomic numbers were observed, they seemed to have extraordinary stability than what the usual binding energy curve showed. If you are asking about the word "magic", it was a term coined by Wigner because he found this idea of shells too amazing but true.

What is magic about the arrangement of the numbers in the 8x8 cell square?
While they may have been called magic squares, there is absolutely nothing magical about them. The arrangement of numbers in magic squares is all very rational.
What are the rules to the physics game Magic Pen?
The rules of the physics game Magic Pen are simple. All you have to do is draw shapes in the allocated area, and you allow the rules of physics to do the rest!

Who won the 1963 nobel peace prize for phiysics?
Nobody did. There is no Nobel Peace Prize for Physics. The Nobel Peace Prize is givenfor advancing the cause of peace, whereas the Nobel Prize for Physics is given foraccomplishments in Physics.In 1963, the Nobel Prize in Physics was split 3 ways:Eugene B. Wigner of the USA, for contributions totheoretical Atomic and Nuclear PhysicsMaria Goeppert-Mayer of the USA, and J.H.D. Jensen of Germany,for Shell model theory and magic numbers for the atomic nucleus
What is the main Reason for instability of the nucleus?
Nuclear instability - a phenomenon concluded from empirical evidence. A model to explain this is based on the idea of nuclear shells. The number of protons and neutron in the nucleus. The nucleons fill up inside the nucleus in shells, each shell has a specific allotment of nucleons. incomplete shell gives rise to instability. The number of nucleons also affect the stability and such numbers are called 'magic numbers', 2, 8, 20, 28, 50, 82, 126. There are nuclides which have double the magic number, called 'double magic'. Magic and Double Magic numbers are charecterised by higher binding energies per nucleon for nuclides. The mechanism of stability may be calculated by using schroedinger's equation if the nuclear potential is known. in my opinion the instability and reason for randomness of decay may be due to vacuum fluctuations, connected to ideas from perturbation theory and definitely linked quantum field theory - any concrete mathematical evidence to support this is beyond me.
What are the principals of physics?
That every effect has a cause. There is no magic.
Merits of nuclear shell models?
Well it successfully explained the mystery behind the stability of Magic numbers. Secondly It is able to predict the Total Angular Momenta of the Nuclei.
